Focus on your own F'ing family, Dobson ...
and I'll take care of mine. I will continue to watch Spongebob with my 8 year old, and we will enjoy our time together. And by the way, you crusted Santorum on the bedsheets of life, diversity is a GOOD thing, and tolerance for that diversity is intrinsic to our way of life. Perhaps you feel that America needs a few more Matthew Shepards, but thank God, most people disagree with you. You do, however serve a noble purpose. You have become a caricature of the drooling, fundie, wack-job, and for that, we thank you.

6. Like you, I've seen the video that Dobson et al are up in arms about
And of course, there's nothing objectionable in it - in fact, it's pretty cool to see Muppets singing with Barney (even if I hate Barney) etc. Sort of crossing over into each others' universes, etc.

I think they said that stuff about Spongebob because they don't want to admit to people that they know that, "We Are Family" is a popular gay anthem.

7. I remember "We are Family" was in the movie: The Birdcage
and that's the only connection to anything gay that I saw in the video that they're so upset about.

I think these homophobic wackos have been around for many years waiting for their chance in the spotlight. With bush in the White House they think it's time for them to be heard.

8. I'm hardly an expert on homosexuality
Aside from having gay friends, but I think (and I'm sure that I'll be corrected by one of our gay members) that the song is at least nominally part of gay culture. I have a hetero friend who's always being mistaken for being gay. Once he was asked by a Borders employee who had a crush on him if he was "family," and we guess that's where it came from.

Of course, this could be just another stereotype akin to saying all Blacks know the words to "Shaft."

Can ya dig it?

9. Besides, Dobson's behind the times...
...we homosexuals, along with the Jews, have been busy taking over Hollywood for the past 50 years PRECISELY so that we could slip subversive gay characters into children's programming. It's the capstone of our radical homosexual agenda to recruit children into the gay lifestyle, destroy marriage and shove gay sex down everyone's throats (no pun intended). Funny thing is, SpongeBob WASN'T one of our plants. We try to be a little more subtle. Here's a partial list of some success stories:

Archie Andrews
Black Vulcan
Goofy
The entire cast of Scooby Doo (including Scrappy)
Dan Dreier...oh, wait, he's not a cartoon.

14. you may joke about it
but I was kinda floored when someone explained the hidden drug message of Scooby Doo to me. Not that it endorsed marijuana use, but the inside jokes were definitely there. Scooby doobie do.

13. Not impressed by that page
I read about two or three pages of it and am seeing nothing. They seem to fault him for his activism. That does not look like a fault to me. I wish we had labor leaders and environmentalists who were so effective. Also they need some kind of summary if they expect me to keep reading. They should start out - "we will show that ...a), b), c), d) and so on. As I said, their beginning seems so off base and unreasonably hostile that I am not inspired to keep reading. Really, they quoted him about thirty times in the part I read and that was the worst they could find?
