James Dobson no likee John McCain:
With John McCain on the verge of winning the Republican nomination, the once-complacent anti-McCain forces on the right are getting louder than ever. This morning, James Dobson released a statement to Laura Ingraham’s radio show, declaring that under no circumstances would he support McCain in the general election — a potential blow to the Arizona senator, since it could discourage turnout among some evangelical voters.
I’m guessing that Dobson is not completely sold on Mike Huckabee, so that must mean he has found a kindred spirit in Mitt "Strap Sparky To The Roofrack" Romney, although Mitt has a ways to go to reach the depredations of Jimmy the Dachshund Slayer:
"I had seen this defiant mood before, and knew there was only one way to deal with it. The ONLY way to make Siggie obey is to threaten him with destruction. Nothing else works. I turned and went to my closet and got a small belt to help me ‘reason’ with Mr. Freud …
What developed next is impossible to describe. That tiny dog and I had the most vicious fight ever staged between man and beast. I fought him up one wall and down the other, with both of us scratching and clawing and growling and swinging the belt."
I fully expect Dr. Dobson to give an enthusiastic endorsement of Mitt when the time is right, which should be right after a less-than-enthusiastic Tagg is forced to join his father in the shower for "the talk".

What are they going to do on election day? Hold prayer meetings or be out on street corners preachifying against fornication and stuff?
Every time I read that Dobson story I feel sick to my stomach.
I hadn’t seen that Dobson story before.
Wherever he goes when he dies, there’ll be a Dachshund waiting for him, holding a belt…
And yet, if you changed it to him using the belt on McCain it would be a heartwarming and life-affirming movie that would show every year at Christmas time.
Whenever I read that Dobson story I always wonder to myself: “How does a man who so proudly beats an innocent animal within an inch of its’ life have any moral authority among his ‘Christian’ constituency?”
Then I remember how loudly those “Christians” cheer on the belt-whipping currently being administered to the Iraqi people by the US military.
Dobson and his followers are violent fundamentalist fanatics who differ little from the “enemy.”
Truly they are the enemy within.
Another thing I love about that story is his claim that both were “swinging the belt.”
Um, Bob?
Dachshunds don’t have opposable thumbs with which to swing a belt.
They are something that got developed later by that “evolution” thing you so fiercely deny and so clearly have no understanding of.
“That which you do to the least of my brethren, you also do unto me (Matthew 25:40″ is another simple concept ol’ Bob seems to have missed out on.
It’s not Bob, but you get the idea.
Dammit.
comsympinko,
Remember, his is the crowd that also firmly believes in beating their kids into submission. Sadly, the inclination to impotently consort to violence to “solve” everything from childish rebellious urges to global politics seems to be precisely what gives authority (and collective hard-ons) in the world of the wilfully ignorant bible thumpers.
Grrrr…
I agree….grrrrrrrr. And double grrrrrrrrr’s from the bassets. What a horrible little man.
What a hypocrite.
Dobson clearly “…doesn’t credit our Creator with the masterpiece of nature known as…” the dachshund.
Oh yes, a spiritual role model for our times.
Cool scam McCain pulled on the Mittster in W Va today. GOPland has all eaten the brown acid.
Jeebus. How hard can it be to get a wetsuit on a Dachshund?
Keep in mind that he tells this story as an example of how to properly raise your children. I have no patience with animal-abusers, but let’s not forget it’s a specific exhortation to child abuse into the bargain.
Yep, the whole point is to beat them (animals and children) into submission.
Nice little religion ya got there Dobson; how about we look into the stories in your book about what a sadist your own pappy was? Of course to you, he was just bein’ dad.
Dobson clearly “…doesn’t credit our Creator with the masterpiece of nature known as…” the dachshund.
The dachshund: Another fine product of genetic engineering….
Beats a little dog nearly to death for acting like… a DOG.
And is PROUD of it.
That’s one crazy muthafucka, eh?
I read your Super Bowl posts. Dobson aint got nothin’ on you for crazy.
