There you go again.... Dobson proves he has agenda, film at 11
*When* are the white, overfed Conservative Evangies/Fundies going to figure out that a whole helluva lot of us are not impressed with their tactics, logic or interpretation of scripture? ("Magic 8 Ball says, 'Never'.") Although Dobson's actually done Obama a favor, if you think about it: no one who hears about this will be able to seriously use the Muslim Misdirection Tactic. Obama may be in Dobson's view a craptastic Christian, but he's Christian.
I'd do a poll, but can't, so here's some plausible explanations for Dobson inserting his holier-than-thou foot in mouth (take "plausible" wiih a grain of salt):
1. If Obama does not allow his religious beliefs to dictate national policy, then Dobson et al have no political clout and little visibility. This primarily means less money in the offering plate and a helluva lot harder time reshaping this into a "truly" Christian nation. It *also* means:
2. Dobby and Bam-Bam can't be BFFs. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. Dobby want to go home, Mommy! Right after socking Bam-Bam one upside the head.
3. If people like Obama are allowed to "cherry-pick" their scripture (like discarding, oh, instructions that slavery is okay if the slave is one of those other wacky/disgusting ethnic groups who don't believe what you do, and who are taking up space on what OUGHT to be your land, etc.), then *everyone* will do it. And they'll discard important stuff. You know, the REALLY important stuff, like women being subservient and inferior to Da Menz and how homosexuals are the ebil, eeeeeebil cause of every natural disaster in, and terrorist attack on, the United States. (Cherished prejudices -- uh, I mean, beliefs and morals, yo. Forget all that Sermon on the Mount crap about loving your neighbor. Hell, if your neighbor is gay, or Mexican, or a towel-wearing Muslim who *might* try to blow something up, it's your God-given, Biblically-mandated right to stone the SOB to death.)
4. And last but not least, anyone who cherry-picks (i.e., doesn't espouse Dobson's apparent belief in a literal or close-to-literal interp) is so morally corrupt that, before you know it, WE'LL ALL BE HAVING PARTIAL-BIRTH ABORTIONS. EVEN THE MEN, AFTER WE FIGURE OUT THAT WHOLE MPREG THING... ...except that would make them gay, so we'd hafta stone them to death. Well, that solves *that* part of the problem.

Sometimes, in the tradition of George Carlin (although far less wittily), you simply have to counter absurdity with more of the same.
