...Dr. James Dobson and other egotistical evangelicals

Credibility-flush. Writer has personal issues. I stop reading.

No, Reader has personal issues and stopped thinking.

Believe it or not, evangelicals are not infallible and can fall to the sin of egotism. Dobson may be a strong man of faith and a learned Biblical scholar, but he knows little of the rough & tumble world of partisan politics and made a bad choice.

I have to agree with the writer on this one. Dobson showed a side of himself which I do not care for. He fancied himself a "player" and leaked a "private" email to do his dirty work and then played like "well, it was private." He knew exactly what he was doing. A man who runs a multimillion dollar charitable organization which is constantly under the scrutiny of the left and the media (redundancy alert) knows that his office communications (by email or otherwise) will be made public eventually (especially on an issue like this).

It was planned, purposeful and choreographed. And dishonest, distasteful and unChristlike.

But I probably have a personal issue.

... Thereby illustrating the truth of the writer's charge.

You seem to think that wearing your Christianity on your sleeve makes you immune to flaws such as lack of humility and over-sensitive defensiveness.

I am a Christian and have done my share of "bible thumping" on Free Republic, as I believe that Christianity and Christ hold the salvation for all mankind. But I applaud Sideshow Bob's use of the phrase "egotistical evangelicals" because it is so heartily ACCURATE.
