As if I wasn’t already upset with Dr. Dobson for turning his back on his so-called close friend when he really could have used a good friend, he pipes up again and does more harm.
On the front page of CNN.com today, James Dobson is quoted as saying this in regard to the possible presidential candidate former Sen. Fred Thompson, R-Tennessee:
“I don’t think he’s a Christian.”
Sounds quite judgmental to me. The article goes on to say…
A Thompson spokesman quickly contested Dobson’s statement, saying “Thompson is indeed a Christian. He was baptized into the Church of Christ.”
But a declaration of Thompson’s religion will not be enough for Dobson, who is viewed as being widely influential with evangelical Christians, a key Republican voting bloc.
“We were pleased to learn from his spokesperson that Sen. Thompson professes to be a believer,” said Nima Reza, a Dobson spokeswoman. “Thompson hasn’t clearly communicated his religious faith, and many evangelical Christians might find this a barrier to supporting him.”
Anyone else think Dobson needs to just shut his trap? I wouldn’t call myself a liberal (politically speaking) but I can sure understand why people have such a hard time with the religious right. They scare me too.
