Three Arrested In Protest at "Focus On The Family" (Dobson's hate org.)

[ruggerson]

Can anyone tell me why CBS Radio is allowed to carry
James Dobson on the air every week without a rebuttal
to his message of hate?

Two parents and their gay son were arrested Monday when they crossed a barricade and tried to hand-deliver a letter protesting Christian activist James Dobson’s campaign against gay rights and same-sex marriage.

When police warned Phil Reitan, his wife and son they would be arrested, Reitan said, “I’m an attorney, I’m a Christian, I’m a father, I love my family.”

Phil and Randi Reitan and their son Jacob led a single-file march of about 150 people to the headquarters of Dobson’s Focus on the Family ministry on the second day of a protest by Soulforce, a national interfaith organization that supports gay rights.

A Focus on the Family representative met the demonstrators outside the light metal barricades and accepted stacks of letters from Soulforce. Soulforce said the letters objected to Dobson’s teachings that homosexual behavior is a sin and that anti-discrimination laws should not extend to gays and lesbians.

The Reitans said they wanted to deliver their own letter to Dobson personally and were arrested on trespassing charges when they passed through the barricades. Dobson was traveling and was not at the group’s headquarters, officials said.

Jacob Reitan said Dobson’s teachings hurt families of gay or lesbian children.

“That destroys families. It breaks them apart,” he said. Putting his arms around his parents, he said, “This is what it means to be a family.”

1. I bet Jesus would have spoken to them.

And to think, Dobern thinks he's better than Jesus! :eyes:

2. The answer to your question about CBS/rebuttal...

because thanks to Ronald Reagan we no longer have the fairness doctrine. Which means all standards of balance and truth are out the window. Gone.

I'm so glad this group had their protest. Gays need to start speaking up and showing these Dobson followers that they're average family people not deserving of their hate.
