Prometheus 6

All respect and no restraint

A response to an attack is an attack?

This person is actually beyond the reach of reason because his understanding of cause-and-effect is flawed.

Dr. James Dobson’s June 24 radio show critiqued Obama’s use of Scripture in justifying his political policies and positions. The next day Obama responded to the evangelical leader’s critique by saying that Dobson was “making stuff up,” which McCullough said was “an indirect way of calling Dobson a liar.”

Obama-Dobson argument a “political blunder” for Obama

.- Gary McCullough, director of Christian Newswire, has called Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama’s attack on Focus on the Family president James Dobson a “political blunder” that could have a significant impact on Evangelical swing voters who were otherwise lukewarm towards Obama’s opponent, Sen. John McCain.

Sen. McCain’s past ambivalence towards same-sex marriage and embryonic stem cell research, McCullough wrote, had not excited the hard core of evangelicals.

“The evangelical community had been fairly unimpressed by John McCain.  But Obama has shown a grave lack of political wisdom: he did not let this sleeping dog lie,” McCullough said in an opinion piece published on Christian Newswire.

That was funny! It seems

That was funny!

It seems like McCullough is basically saying that since Obama has called a well-known white evangelical a liar, no one's gonna give him the benefit of the doubt when it comes to his black preacher. I mean, I don't wish to see racism under every rock, but Dobson is not the single most influential evangelical voice, and McCain's nomination is evidence of that. So what is McCullough really saying.

And does he expect anyone to take him seriously.
