Posted at 1:20pm on Jul. 9, 2008 Hating James Dobson: To Heck With His Qualifications, He's a Meanie
By Erick
Rush Limbaugh is in the Radio Hall of Fame and deservedly so. He redefined talk radio. This year, the Radio Hall of Fame is considering Dr. James Dobson, along with Howard Stern, Bob Costas, and Laura Schlessinger.
As you can imagine, the left is going nuts over Dobson's nomination. They do not care about Dobson's impact on the medium. They do not care about how many people listen to him [Ed. -- That is *precisely* what they care about]. They really only care that Dobson is a Christian with strongly held views they consider hateful, i.e. his opposition to gay marriage.
A group called Truth Wins Out is trying to scuttle Dobson's nomination because, according to their Executive Director, "We believe that character counts and nominees should have careers based on honesty and integrity – not discrimination, distorting research and outright lying."
Just to be clear here, this is a pro-gay organization that wants to shut out Dr. Dobson for disagreeing with the lifestyle -- in other words they are intolerant of Dobson's opinion and want to deny him entry into the Radio Hall of Fame as a result.
It's a sad day in America when a man as imminently qualified for recognition in the field of radio as Dobson is would be shut out of the Hall of Fame for exercising his first amendment rights on the radio in a way leftists disagree with.
I'd encourage you to go support Dr. Dobson.

Wanting To Discuss A Candidate's Faith Does Not Automatically Make One A Religious Bigot
By Erick
Some of you are out bashing James Dobson for his criticism of Fred Thompson not being a Christian. You know, if the election were held tomorrow, I'd be voting for Mitt Romney. But if Fred were on the ballot, I and a lot of my friends would be like, "Mitt who?" I'm a Fred Thompson guy, but until he enters, I'm voting for Mitt, though I've ceased considering myself a Mitt guy.
But you people who are so outraged by James Dobson need to suck it up and get over it. Your outrage over Dobson goes directly to my frustration with Hugh Hewitt -- instead of dealing with the issue, you want to make the issue out of bounds. Folks, that is what the left does, not what the right does. When the left wants to keep something out of bounds, it declares you a bigot in some way for dealing with the subject. Apparently now, when someone brings up a Presidential candidate's faith, you are also a bigot.
Let me put it to you very plainly and you can disagree all you want and you'll still be wrong -- some people have different values and place different emphasis on things than you and me. And they, just like you and me, are entitled to their opinion. And sometimes they have bigger microphones than you or me, but they are still entitled to their opinion.
