Mr. Prelutzky,

Although I would like to agree with you on most of your points/rants, your lack of informed substance regarding Dr. Dobson begs me to question any of what you say. May I suggest that you look beyond the NYT, WP and LAT editorials, and actually investigate what Dr. Dobson has actually stated? He has not encouraged or discouraged his “followers” to vote for or against any candidate in the upcoming presidential election, and I defy you to find evidence of such in print or as a sound bite. Shame on you for acting as propagandist.

First off, I agree with Andy Rigrod. Next, I did not state that Dr. Dobson said anything about a third party, I said that he told his followers to stay home on election day if either Thompson or Giuliani was the GOP nominee. So, how about quoting me correctly, Ms. Shawkey, and stop fretting about Rush?

I wouldn’t take what one hears about Dr. Dobson to be what he has actually said. I heard Dobson, I think on Medved’s show, say he and the recent evangelical get together did not promote a third party alternative like was being reported in right talk shows and blogs.

Rush has had to deal with this phenomenon for as long as he had been broadcasting. 20 million people hear him say one thing, then it gets reported in the MSM as something else. All, Rush says, they had to do was listen to the show. The same with Dobson.

I think what irritates the right about people like Dobson is that the political drama means less to him than the political fruit. Roe v. Wade means something different to Romney, Guiliani, and Thompson but their understanding of Roe v. Wade does not come close to the horror Dr. Dobson sees it as.

I deal with this in in a section of my blog where I show how different an election is to the base activist; to the talk show host; to the political office holder.

My suggestion to Mr. Prelutsky is that he read or listen to the original source material Dr. Dobson puts out on these matters.

Chris Sanders, if I were the people at Pajamas Media, I would ban you for life for littering in their comments section like that. Shame on you. (also, you’re boring us to death)

“The last public statement I heard from him was when he advised his followers to stay home on election day in 2008 if Rudy Giuliani or Fred Thompson is the Republican candidate for president.”

Rudy Giuliani has been known to keep his word. One can pretty well take it for granted that the former New York mayor will only appoint strict constructionists to the U.S. Supreme Court. Moreover, he is the least politically correct candidate—and this is a most important virtue when engaging in the life and death struggle against the Islamic terrorists.

Heh. Regardless of whether global warming exists (the Earth has been cooling for 9 years, after all), or whether CO2 or over-sexing is the cause – isn’t it obvious that Gore’s ultimate mission really is to make the Amish way of life universal?
