Dobson vs. O'Reilly: Right Wing Pissing Match Erupts

(James Dobson)

The powerful right wing organization Focus on the Family has called Fox News talk show host Bill O'Reilly a liar, accusing him of "media distortion of the truth." In a web-site story headlined "O'Reilly Continues to Spin SpongeBob Story", Focus says the talking head attacked the group's nut-job leader James Dobson for "crying wolf" when he accused the cartoon SongeBob of being an animated homosexual.

O'Reilly said on his show Monday:

"SpongeBob is a sponge. He's not cruising the bars in West Hollywood. Culture warriors on both sides have got to get a grip. There's danger in fanatical policy. But paranoia makes a danger harder to illuminate. You won't be taken seriously if you cry wolf too often."

Focus was incensed by this comment and now falsely claims that Dobson was misquoted by the media when he bizarrely accused Bob of buggery. They urged their brainwashed, Stepford-like followers to take action and upbraid Billy O.

"If you object to this kind of media distortion of the truth, you may wish to let Mr. O'Reilly know."

The truth is, they are both right. Billy O. is a liar. And Dobson is increasingly out of touch and living on the fringe of reality. It is a shame he lacks the morality to admit he thinks a cartoon is gay and is trying to spin out of this public relations disaster. When you are too wacko for Bully Bill O'Reilly, you know its time to rethink your life.

O'Reilly's comments are just as funny as Dobson picking on a cartoon. Think about it - with all the things wrong in the world, they had to start shit about a freakin cartoon!!!!!

The thought occurs to me that Spongebob's pants are actually rectangular. My God, the sponge is living a lie. I'm crying now, and suffering from free-floating, non-specific anxiety and lack of cookie goodness. Sad is the world.

You might find this amusing.

Sadly, both sides have fallen prey to picking nits in this case. I do, however, think it's unfair of Besen to categorize or imply the personal failings found in this case as typical. I've listened(wow, what a concept) to Dobson, on and off, for about 20 years now, and I've found the majority of what he and his guests have to say as being very level-headed, common sense fare. Granted, there is a major religious bias to the programming, but they're up front about it and make no attempts to hide it or apologize for it - you know what you're getting into and if you don't like it, you can change the channel. As for fanaticism - well, let's just say I've noticed a lot more nonsensical, irrational, hyper-emotional, near-apoplectic fits in those opposed to his shows than from Dobson himself.
