Ok Ok, I must have read this in a thousand posts if I read it in one.....

"James Dobson is hateful toward homosexuals"

Sooooooooo, my questions are what do you define as hate toward homosexuals, and secondly, how, with specific examples please, does Doctor Dobson fit into those categories.

Note: I dont want to know why you disagree with him or why you think he is wrong, ONLY WHY HE IS HATEFUL.

I'm interested in hearing how Dobson is hateful as well. I've NEVER gotten that vibe from James Dobson.

Dawny, I cant figure our why people would think that either, I think its the herd mentality. Somebody hears someone they agre with say Dobson is a hatemonger, so then they start saying it...next thing you know, the guy is a hatemonger.

Gotcha. Granted, I tend to think a little less conservatively than Dobson...but I admire the man. Frubals for a good thread topic. I'm curious how others respond.

Absolutely, I certainly dont agree with him on everything either, but in my opinion that doesnt make him the devil.

Certainly not. If I wanted to slap an "Anti-Christ" label on someone...I think of many better candidates than Dobson.

Well, here we go:

http://www.family.org/docstudy/newsletters/a0021043.cfm

He's already leveraging his new power. When a thank-you call came from the White House, Dobson issued the staffer a blunt warning that Bush "needs to be more aggressive" about pressing the religious right's pro-life, anti-gay rights agenda, or it would "pay a price in four years." excerpted from http://www.slate.com/id/2109621/

To Dobson, gay marriage is a looming catastrophe of epic proportions. He has compared the recent steps toward gay marriage to Pearl Harbor and likens the battle against it to D-Day (same source)

In one of his books, Dobson has written of the gay-rights movement that "[e]vil has a way of overreaching." (again same source)

• Among the scores of anti-gay commentaries, stories and products on the Focus on the Family website is a Dobson essay that strikes a typical note: "Moms and Dads, are you listening? This [gay] movement is the greatest threat to your children. It is of particular danger to your wide-eyed boys, who have no idea what demoralization is planned for them."
• Dobson spearheaded the successful national campaign against gay marriage in 2003 and 2004.

Even Christian conservative C. Everett Koop, President Reagan's surgeon general, has called Dobson "homophobic." from http://www.tolerance.org/news/article_tol.jsp?id=1157

I guess I could see how some might come to the conclusion that he is anti-gay.

What from here specifically is hateful?

Some of this is alarmist, but I fail to see hate in it.

Among the scores of anti-gay commentaries, stories and products on the Focus on the Family website is a Dobson essay that strikes a typical note: "Moms and Dads, are you listening? This [gay] movement is the greatest threat to your children. It is of particular danger to your wide-eyed boys, who have no idea what demoralization is planned for them."
Dobson spearheaded the successful national campaign against gay marriage in 2003 and 2004.

To me this is a commentary on the fact he views homosexual sex as a sin, not hate for homosexuals.

I guess I could see how some might come to the conclusion that he is anti-gay.

of course he is anti-gay sex, he believes it is a sin, but does that mean he hates homosexuals?
