Turn on State of Belief....Dobson and religious leaders met with Bush

[madfloridian]

about radical Islam recently. Dobson has spent a week on this topic of radical Islam.

Gaddy is calling him out on it.

1. Dobson is as qualified

to discuss radical Islam as he is qualified to discuss TRUE Christianity. 0=0

3. I don't know about that

I think dobson is uniquely qualified to talk about a radical, minority religious viewpoint that highjacks one of the world's oldest religions for personal gain.

2. Here is more about it...this is an outrage.

"President George W. Bush met privately with Focus on the Family Founder and Chairman James Dobson and approximately a dozen Christian right leaders last week to rally support for his policies on Iraq, Iran and the so-called "war on terror."

“I was invited to go to Washington DC to meet with President Bush in the White House along with 12 or 13 other leaders of the pro-family movement," Dobson disclosed on his radio program Monday. “And the topic of the discussion that day was Iraq, Iran and international terrorism. And we were together for 90 minutes and it was very enlightening and in some ways disturbing too."

Details of the meeting were disclosed by Dobson during Monday's edition of his Focus on the Family radio program.

Dobson described Bush as “upbeat and determined and convinced, adding, “I wish the American people could have sat in on that meeting we had.”

Dobson went on to enumerate a series of meetings convened by Christian right leaders in Washington to discuss the supposedly existential threat to the United States from a nuclear Iran."

4. More about Dobson's on air urging that we need to attack Iran.

"It's Hitler season in Washington, and that's a bad sign. Because stopping Hitler is what we say lately whenever we're getting ready to invade somewhere, torture people, and put them in camps. It's a good thing our boogeyman isn't Dracula, or we'd fight him by drinking blood.

..."Monday, on his "Focus on the Family" radio show, James Dobson talked about a long meeting he'd had with President Bush, and how we have to attack Iran because Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is like Hitler and "if we didn't stand up to Hitler, we'd be speaking German today."

(Which must have pushed all the right buttons for his listeners, because who wants to learn anything, let alone a language? Iran comes over here, starts teaching Farsi in our schools, pretty soon it'll be evolution and sex ed.)

Wednesday, in Britain's Daily Telegraph, John Bolton said we had to bomb Iran, and soon, because, "I think you're at a Hitler marching into the Rhineland point." And if you replace "Hitler" with "Ahmadinejad" and "marching" with "enriching" and "the Rhineland" with "uranium" you can see he makes a pretty impressive argument."

Oh dear God, how did we get here?

I think our Democrats need some real PR to get out in front of this stuff.

10. That is nice since the idiot would not meet with the ministers from

conventional denominations prior to his pre-emptive strike on the innocent people of Iraq, including his own denomination, the Methodists.

[OHdem10]

11. All The Televangelists with a direct pipeline to the WH

have been priming the RR for a War With Iran for months.

Hagees Followers actually identify Ahmadenajad as the Anti-Christ.

This whole thing Iraq, Iran are the opening salvos for
Armageddon.

Dobson is not a Fundamentalist, nor is he a minister.
He has a radio audience that is huge. His listeners afre
religious but not fundamentalist.

Iran, Iran, Iran is the constant theme, eh???
