Dobson to Attack Obama Tuesday for Distorting the Bible, Having a "Fruitcake" Interpretation of the Constitution

Jon Stewart said it best, Dobson is "just a hate filled guy who got lucky".

James, Thank you for standing for the Truth!

Where was he when the Bush Administration propogated this facist war against all of ISLAM in the name of Jesus. Christians are known for their love not for who they can threaten and kill in his name. Jesus is a prophet to Islam...so in a sense they are simply unbaptized Christians required by Mohammed to beleive in him. Christians should concentrate on getting them baptised in his name not KILLED.That way the Holy Spirit can give them a new song and preserve their faith without the westernism that they TOTALLY HATE FOR GOOD REASON. At our rate Sodom with stand up with Gommorah and condemn us.
Rev Wright was right...Obama subconsciously knows our only hope is to CHANGE.

I forgot to mention that by sending Dobson to communist China we would at least get him out of the country. He should take all the other nut cases with him who try and force their brand of religion on others which includes depriving rights to the gay community and not allowing women control over their bodies.

Mr. Dobson is clearly the fruitcake. He is yet another example of an over the edge, right wing religious fanatic who can't help but force his insane religious views and beliefs on others. Jokers like Dobson should be sent to communist China as missionaries.

I am glad Dobson said something about his context for understanding scripture especially where he says Obama is twisting settled religious doctrine.

I'd prefer that pastors and theologians talk to politicians directly about matters of faith. When faith works through the media's filters it is usually who is up and who is down. Instead, I think it is better to talk about why the Sermon of the Mount is closer to the the theological basis for Jesus' time on earth than the old Testament's warnings of what could absolutely can not be done. When Dobson hits Obama on relativism, then it seems to me that Obama has to speak back to what is most important about being a believer and why it has gotten out of proportion in this time.

It is much more substantive than what the MSM does with it. Well, do Jews support him for his faith and his church? Do the Evangelical youth think he is right on most issues of faith? Well, media what issues of faith are we talking about specifically.

Those who say Barack Obama is heathen or not true Christian and should therefore not become president of America should propose an alternative that fits the description of a true Christian. Are Christians therefore going to abstain from voting because there is nobody who fits the description? Does Macain fulfil every description of Christian? Or in America the only description of a Christian is anyone who opposess gay marriages and abortion, all other things not withstanding? Even as we cast that stone against Obama, we who have answered the higher calling and are believers, do we pass the test of christianity as is? The bible is categorical that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God; pray tell me one christian who hasn't. Rather than tear Obama into pieces, let us pray for the dear nation of America. Obama wasn't there when gays and pro-abortionists started clamouring for their rights. These evils are a product of society and Obama's support or opposition to it is of little consequence if Americans themselves don't repent. These things are a product of evil and more blamed on the failure of church rather than failure of state. The church has not provided leadership on these issues. Instead they are torn right in the middle. Ordination of gay clergy is not a decision of state, but squarely rests on the church. The church should turn a torch on itself, repent and trust God for deliverance rather than ad hoc attacks on people who have no effective control of the evils in our society. Even when gay marriages are banned by the state, gay relationships still thrive. Are we just concerned about the legality of the evil or its existence and proliferation?
Church please find better reason not to support Obama. At best this Dobson thing is absurd.

Obama is looking at the big Picture. I find nothing wrong in Obama's speach. All I know that God see the heart and God will Judge Not Dobson. Religion is a personal. Who are we to say who is a Christian and who is not a Christian. Dobson said Obama's position is confused Religion,the way Dobson attack Obama in my opinion is not fair from a man that said he knows God. God said in the Bible Love and Kindness I will draw you. Meet with Obama and have a conversation with him Donot attack Obama show him where you disagree and Obama will help you see Dobson why he feel or think the way he does.

The Senator and the Reverend deserve each other. Both are politicians first. That Obama could spend 20 years in a church that spouted such hatred amazes me. Then to keep denying it. And then to finally apologize for it. At least with Dobson, you know what you are going to get. Obama is wishy washy. He is an expert in playing the victim. But then, remember that he is from Chicago. St. Peter must be in hysterics.

Dobson is like Kaiser Sosae. Fear him, for he will eat your soul.

Rev. Dobson has forgotten the heart of our faith...love the Lord, and then thy neighbor as thyself. Scripture does not say just love other Christians, nor love those with whom we share the same faith or views. As much as we are able, we are to live in fellowship with others. That's scripture. Obama is right. Dobson is wrong. Somehow Rev. Dobson has gotten so caught up in politics and his perceived power as a "Christian leader," that he has strayed from Christ's message. Love, mercy and respect for others is needed now more than ever. We don't have to agree. Everyone has a free will to believe or not. All need to learn to be civil and respectful. And...if calling Obama a liberal Dobson means that he is someone who cares for the poor, who has mercy for those sufffering without healthcare, and he is respectful of others of other faiths...I thank God that he is. And, if Dobson truly read his Bible, he would emulate him. By the way...I am a Baptist Minister. Rev. Dobson doesn't speak for me. The Lord does.

Chriss. Wrong again on your Constitutional IQ. The separation of church and state is not a reference to the the Constitutional ban on establishing a religion by Congress. The separation mantra is one picked up by liberals from a letter that Jefferson wrote over two hundred years ago and is not a Constitutional point of law except in the midstream media and misguided liberals. Try reading it again.

Obama should not fall into this debate with this man. What he should to is point out roman Chapter 14. We are not to judge each other on the basis of our faith and how we practice sich faith. it is a lesson that Dobson has forgotten. then he should end it neatly that we whould all pray for each other to have a better understand of gods teachings.

Hucksters like Dobson have been peddling their brand of snake oil to the folks down on the farm for centuries. TV, radio, and the Internet just give them a national platform now. There's a sucker born every minute.

SpaceCat wrote - "I guess that means that gay marriage is cool now, given the fact that it's only mentioned in the Old Testament."

Not so - homosexuality is condemned in the New Testament, in 1 Corinthians and in 1 Timothy. And Dobson is correct - the New Testament records the events of the fulfillment of the Old Testament. The teachings of the New Testament are what guide us now.

A couple questions from The National Review:

Where are all of the Hollywood celebrities holding telethons asking for help in restoring Iowa and helping the folks affected by the floods?

Where is all the media asking the tough questions about why the federal government hasn't solved the problem? Asking where the FEMA trucks (and trailers) are?

Why isn't the Federal Government relocating Iowa people to free hotels in Chicago?

When will Spike Lee say that the Federal Government blew up the levees that failed in Des Moines?

Where are Sean Penn and the Dixie Chicks?

Where are all the looters stealing high-end tennis shoes and big screen television sets?

When will we hear Governor Chet Culver say that he wants to rebuild a 'vanilla' Iowa, because that's the way God wants it?

Where is the hysterical 24/7 media coverage complete with reports of cannibalism?

Where are the people declaring that George Bush hates white, rural people?

How come in 2 weeks, you will never hear about the Iowa flooding ever again?

I find it both interesting and amusing that Biblical literalists pick and choose which portions of the Bible are literal and which are not. In the classical training, I learned that the Bible and many other classical books were written in three to four layers: 1) the literal one, 2) the metaphorical one, 3) the moral one and 4) the anagogical one (ultimate spiritual or mystical sense).

The entire Bible is literal in the historical and sociological context as well as it is metaphorical, moral and mystical.

Obama is quite correct that the Sermon on the Mount is now understood as Jesus’ most powerful teaching of social justice and not as the altruistic fool who gives all of one’s possessions away and eagerly becomes a doormat or scapegoat to society.

You have to be kidding me. James Dobson said what? This guy is the laughing stock (and perhaps the biggest fruitcake) of the Universe. If you support him, you probably still think the world is flat, evolution doesn't exist, and we are NOT in a recession. I agree with algwriter above,VERY VERY DANGEROUS TO SOCIETY. James Dobson has misinterpreted the bible for years to successfully brainwash the masses and line his own pockets with millions.

Dobson is an extremist within his tradition as Wright is within his tradition (Black Liberation Theology). Both have accumulated power and power can corrupt. Both have made outrageous statements which appeal to the haters among their respective followers. Both have been overtaken by hubris. Christians and Americans in general need to disassociate ourselves from such people.

Dobson thinks he's the Protestant Pope. It's so sad what he's doing to Christianity.
