Alito expresses thanks to Minister of Hate Dobson

I somehow missed this news item. But really, should we be surprised that
Samuel Alito is as hateful and evil as we feared? His mash note to James
Dobson, who has found fame and fortune in advocating hate and intolerance
of millions of Americans, is quite revealing ... and frightening:
Dobson, head of the Colorado Springs-based conservative Christian
ministry that reaches more than 200 million people worldwide through
broadcasts and publications, read Alito’s note on his Wednesday radio
program.
The note thanks Dobson and his listeners for supporting Alito during
his U.S. Senate confirmation hearings.
Dobson said Alito wrote that “the prayers of so many people from around
the country were a palpable and powerful force. As long as I serve on the
Supreme Court I will keep in mind the trust that has been placed in me.”
What does that mean? We know what Dobson's ideas are: forced pregnancy and
church-run-state-run breeding laws, not to mention sexual orientation laws
to keep Dobson and his sheep from turning gay. This note seems to express
Alito's affinity for Dobson's opposition to freedom and equality.
Supreme Court spokeswoman Kathy Arberg said Alito’s note was in
response to a letter Dobson sent him congratulating him on his
confirmation. She said his pledge to “keep in mind the trust that has been
placed in me” was a line he included in many replies to congratulatory
letters.
Again with the "He didn't really mean it" defense?
Sen. Wayne Allard, R-Colo., who supported Alito, wasn’t concerned about
the note.
“His only reaction to the letter was to say that, in his opinion, it
just goes to show that both Justice Alito and Dr. Dobson have nice
manners,” an Allard spokeswoman said.
Of course, Allard loves that Dobson support, too, especially when it comes
from just down the Interstate.
Barry Lynn, executive director of Americans United for Separation of
Church and State, called the note “grossly inappropriate conduct.”
“He kind of sounds like the winning political candidate doing a victory
lap and thanking his backers,” Lynn said. “He’s not sounding like a fair
and independent judge.”
He said the note can be interpreted as a pledge to rule as Dobson wants
on key issues, such as gay marriage, abortion and church-state separation.
“It sounds like he’s carrying a right-wing agenda instead of being a
justice for all the people,” Lynn said, noting he’s never heard of a
Supreme Court justice writing such a letter.
Lynn, whose group opposed Alito’s nomination, called Dobson’s reading
the note on air “astonishingly strange conduct” indicative of a
“self-congratulatory impulse on the part of Dobson.”
Focus on the Family did not return two phone calls Wednesday seeking
comment.
Ellie Smeal, president of the Feminist Majority, which opposed Alito’s
nomination, called the note “highly unusual” and akin to someone thanking
his political supporters.
“What’s happening is, the courts are becoming more politicized,” she
said. “So much of it is about private conduct and the agenda of the right
wing.”

Dobson: How to Tell If Your Son Might Be Gay
Wed Aug 10, 2005 at 05:05:34 PM PDT
Hey dads, worried your son might be gay? Think he might be a little
too effeminate? Don't worry, because American Taliban Grand Master
Dr. James Dobson is here to the rescue.
...
Follow these instructions and your boy will become the "MAN" you want
him to be.
...
I saved his most important advice for last.
Meanwhile, the boy's father has to do his part. He needs to mirror and
affirm his son's maleness. He can play rough-and-tumble games with his
son, in ways that are decidedly different from the games he would play
with a little girl. He can help his son learn to throw and catch a
ball. He can teach him to pound a square wooden peg into a square
hole in a pegboard. He can even take his son with him into the shower,
where the boy cannot help but notice that Dad has a penis, just like
his, only bigger.
