Getting a Few Rants Off My Chest: Snooty Academics, Illegal Immigrants, James Dobson and Al Gore
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.
