Dr. James Dobson took exception to comments made by Barack Obama in a recent speech, saying that Obama has 'distorted' the Bible and that he is "dragging biblical understanding through the gutter." Dobson's main issue with Obama seems to be that he is saying, for example, 'that I can't seek to pass legislation that bans partial birth abortion because there are people who don't see that as a moral issue'. Dobson's response: "Now that is a fruitcake interpretation of the Constitution. We don't have to go to the lowest common denominator of morality which is what he is suggesting. Am I required in a democracy to conform my efforts in the political arena to his bloody notion of what is right with regard to the lives of tiny babies?" Read the full story here.
Through media eyes
In Stu's latest blog, he spares you from having to browse through the snooze-fest that is The Economist magazine, to get yet another example of what conservatives face in the media. The cover story is 'Iraq starting to fix itself'. That's odd, because according to some published reports, a giant coalition of forces threw Saddam Hussein out of power, while continuing to fight terrorists there for five years. Could it be maybe, just maybe, that it is those coalition forces who are leading the 'fixing' of Iraq? Read the Stu blog for more.
'Journalist'
ABC News 'journalist' Jake Tapper had this unbiased commentary to report in a blog he wrote about Karl Rove (the story was Rove calling Obama 'the guy at the country club holding a martini while making snide comments about everyone who walks by'):
"Interesting that Mr. Rove would use a country club metaphor to describe the first major party African-American presidential candidate, whom I'm sure wouldn't be admitted into many country clubs that members of the Capitol Hill Club frequent."
(Editor's Note: Is this 2008? Or 1958?) Jake continues . . .
"But the picture Rove paints is interesting. Who, pray tell, is Rove at this country club? The guy telling funny stories near the band? The charming president of the club's philanthropic arm? The brainy guy with all the sports scores? Or the guy who vandalizes your car and blames it on the kitchen staff?"
Don Imus is getting some heat once again for racial remarks made on his radio program. He's on the defensive after talking about Pac-Man Jones (an NFL football player) who has been arrested several times since turning professional and asking 'what color is he'. When the co-host responded with 'African-American' Imus said 'there you go...now we know'. Imus says that he was making a sarcastic point that Jones was picked on because he was black.
