Dobson knew exactly what he was doing when he said that. If his priority was the truth he would have:
a) done some research or
b)asked to meet with Fred Thompson to discuss his faith

It would be no different than your saying in a conversation with me, “I don’t think Rudy is a conservative.”
I’d have to agree with you. :>)
