James Dobson, founder of Focus on the Family, has kept a low profile this year. He has rarely sounded off in the media on gay marriage and abortion, his biggest issues.
Or is it more that the media isn’t listening anymore?
On his “Family Talk with James Dobson” radio show Friday, Dobson was in typical form as he railed against federal Judge Vaughn Walker regarding his overturning California’s Proposition 8, a measure that passed in November 2008 that defines state marriage as between one man and one woman.
After retiring from Focus in February, Dobson started Family Talk in May, a Christian ministry devoted to helping families thrive. He co-hosts ”Family Talk with James Dobson” with his 39-year-old son, Ryan, and LuAnne Crane. The show is heard on about 400 Christian stations nationwide. On his Focus radio show, Dobson was heard on thousands of radio stations worldwide.

Dobson also launched into apocalyptic strain, saying America is headed for terrible times if same-sex couples are allowed to marry.
He implied that Walker was not impartial in his decision. Walker “may very well be homosexual,” he said, and cited the New York Times as his source.
Here is the paragraph Dobson is referring to in the Times, pulled from a short profile of Walker:
“Since those days, several published reports have stated that the judge is himself gay. In February, The San Francisco Chronicle called it an “open secret.” Critics have argued that his sexual orientation was a source of bias that should have disqualified him from hearing the Proposition 8 case. Judge Walker has declined to discuss the matter.”

Dobson may not have as many listeners anymore, and the media may not hang on his every word. But he still sounds like the Dobson of old.
I’m gonna call it: James Dobson may very well be homosexshul. LOL!
Oh, and moN, I’m still here. Sorry.

So James is grooming his son Ryan to take over the family business? It’s strange how gawd seems to call the children of wealthy peddlers to continue their great mi$$ion. People who send money to these clowns should consider this thought, “Charity is not giving to someone who has more than you do”. Duh?
Dobson is probably senile. See, we can make unwarranted and unrelated comments to change the subject as well.
If the judge’s sexual preference (or alleged preference) is going to be seen as a bias, then any sexual preference (or alleged preference) would be a bias. And there aren’t a lot of asexual jurists.
We should just be thankful dobson isn’t a judge.
Dobson with more cutting edge insight: Pastor Ted Haggard probably “homosexual”
So, using Dobson’s rationale, if a heterosexual judge had ruled against Proposition 8, that would make that judge’s ruling suspect. Isn’t that how it would work?
I’m not so sure that Dobson is very good at telling who’s gay and who’s not, when he himself co-founded the Family Research Council with George Rekers, who was caught in Miami a few months ago with a male escort he’d hired.
Dobson is a jackass. I think Dobson dates Ted Haggard. Get lost Dobson…go some where and spread your hate.
The only reason Dobson has an issue is that his lover may want to get married and of course he cant have that happen… He “founded” focus on the family so that would just not be right… Well to tell the honest truth the REAL founder of focus on the family was a GAY male and bexause he is gay he doesnt get the credit he deserves!!!
why does Dobson’s have a bizarre obsession with other people sexual behavior
he goes beyond rational sharing of what he perceives to be his biblical following.
in any other arena he’d be called a voyeuristic Sex Freak
Don’t forget that Dobson, in one of his books, stated that fathers should shower with their prepubescent sons in order to “show” their young boys “what a man is all about,” I.e., their fathers’ MEMBER. Young boys showering with Dad to expose (no pun intended) them to “manliness.”
That is SO pornographic as to wonder why Dobson hasn’t been brought up on charges of molestation.
Not to mention there doesn’t appear to be ANY sexual procreation going on in the Dobson household…hence the adoption.
And don’t forget, Dobson himself has stated that he “without sin,” and on a level of “holiness” that none of us can ever hope to attain. Does anyone smell the hubris from this so-called man of God?
I would LOVE to take a look at HIS computer hard drive!

manitoumoM,
I think I’ve heard this “Dobson himself has stated that he ‘without sin’” statment from you before. When James Dobson (who is just voicing his opinions – a freedom that is becoming less popular now days) says something controversial, it’s fairly comical to see what kinds of rumorous lies people assert…such as your statment.

James Dobson is the False Prophet of the AntiChrist.
What is WRONG with this manitouMOM? I am almost certain that this is actually a man behind a woman’s name that trolls for children. Look at the disgusting things they say. It is bad enough that these other loonies fear dobson so much that they go off the deep end, but this perverted mind needs to be shut down before they hurt someone!
Hey – way to divert attention from the fact that the judge said the homophobes failed to present evidence of fact or studies to support their opinion.
He essentially said they were clueless. Rather like Dobson.
Richard B. = ManitoumoN.

This judge is gay and only wants to be a hero to the gay community and be in the history books for corrupting the world.
And can we just get rid of the little personal assaults from manitoumom already? I have seen this before, and she has serious mental issues. I thought the rules were to stay on topic here.
