Barron YoungSmith of The Plank says ‘winger warlord Rev “Daddy” James Dobson’s Family Research Council is back off the fence and (while no doubt biting their tongues)
Fast forward a couple of weeks, and FRC Action is taking Obama to task for supporting the Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA), which would codify Roe v. Wade, in a large swing-state ad buy. (As Ben Smith notes, the charge is accurate.)
Read the quote in context here.
Perversely this move shows Dobson has relatively high integrity compared to too many of his cohorts: he’s attacking Senator Obama for something he’s actually going to do instead of just pulling something out of his butt and shouting “hi-de-hi.” The Freedom of Choice Act — codifying the principles of Roe vs. Wade by act of Congress and the signature of a newly-inagurated President Obama— also happens to be a darn good, solidly progressive idea… so of course Dobson’s going to oppose it. But! At least he isn’t just making shit up about lapel flags, heir-orist/Ayer-orist/terra-orist Chicago-old-money patricians ghost-writing biographies or false equivalences or some such. Of course should be ashamed of himself for opposing FOCA but at least he has some actual foundation for his disgracefulness.
