of his remaining high level of influence, already somewhat eroded from his glory days. He won’t disappear as a force but some of his devotees may start questioning why he occupies such a central position as an evangelical leader when he has no credentials whatsoever as either a pastor or a theologian.
I remember saying (to myself, to the TV, whatever): “Dr Dobson, your 15 minutes of fame are over.”
Interesting to see that Time Magazine and others are in effect saying this, too.

the audio is already being used on talk radio as a way of letting people call in and attack Obama without alluding to his race…let’s this audience rant about Rev. Wright again…..stirring up the base against Obama is what the repubs have to do…Dobson, by default or design, is giving them a way to do it….
I call it anti-american right wing radio because its main strategy is always to find a way to divide(and conquer) americans….and these are the people who gave us eight years of bush….I don’t ever dismiss them…
On talk radio, the topic is not about Dobson, it is about Obama….
Is this another Ted Haggard moment?
🙂
Governor Ritter should have the department of Revenue do a full audit on both Focus on the Family and Focus on the Family Action to see if they are using their non profit status to lobby… AND THEN SHUT THEM DOWN!
Why audit if you are going to shut them down regardless???
Ritter couldn’t “shut them down” anyway. All that would and can happen is for them to lose their 501(c)3 IRS status, which then triggers a loss of similar status for the state of CO.
Other than possible misusing of funds for political purposes – which is why they have a separate political action arm – they are doing nothing illegal. Reprehensible, possibley, but not illegal.
Without non-profit status, their contributions would probably plummet and they might go out of business. OTOH, they could pitch political candidates all day and all night w/o further repercussion.
It’s a bit more complex than you imagined.
Credibility is a declining commodity for either side of the political spectrum. Neither Dobson, nor Time possess much reliability. Conservatives don’t believe the basic facts put forward in liberal positions and liberals don’t believe the basic facts put forward in the positions of conservatives. Posting sites as this one assert one side against the other ad-infinitum. There’s no common ground. “Facts” are automatically rejected, referred to as “bullshit” promulgated by “assholes.” Progress is always in reverse.
Politics is the psychological poison of our time. An increasing volume of political hyperbole in any population ultimately results in war or mob action in the least. Everyone has the same concept of justice, which is to be pursued to the exclusion of every other virtue. Trouble is, there’s no balance in this justice. As credibility has declined, justice has disintegrated to domination.
