Excellent examination of this "Dr." and his little screed. (I also liked the point about art, seeing how one of the most famous facts about Hitler was his desire to paint, not to mention his love of German art and culture, Wagner, architecture, etc.)

When I was sent this thing it included a point by point agreement by some lib, and under the point about art the comment was "Just ask Spongebob Squarepants about Bush's censorship of the arts".

You can't make this stuff up, it just pours out of them...

I see that several libs have picked up on SpongeBob and have tried to make it a political issue. Christie Whitman, the faux Republican from NJ, was the last I saw reference this tempest in a teapot. The issue of SpongeBob never had anything to do with the feds, of course. This is just another reframe to try and cover the facts.

SpongeBob has been dealt with at length on here. The spat there was between Dr. James Dobson and an affiliate of tolerance.org, which is somehow connected to the SPLC. He offered his opinion that the group was trying to use cartoon characters to do political advocacy in the schools. Dobson for his part has clarified this one about a dozen times by now.

I guess the libs figured they'd reframe it into an attack on SpongeBob, hoping that they could do a replay of the Jerry Falwell thing with the Teletubbies. Even if Dobson were in fact trying to attack SpongeBob, Dobson is not a Bush official, so who cares? Private individuals can do whatever they want, and only the government can be guilty of "censorship". If voicing discontent with an idea is a form of censorship, I must be quite a book-burner. I suspect most of us would be, left or right.
