This does not surprise me about Dobson.
He banned Christian voter guides from his church in the 80s and 90s.
After going to Washington DC and having dinner with then-president Bill Clinton, he came back and told his congregation that Christians needed to “lay off” President and Mrs. Clinton.
He also co-authored the book Blinded by Might with Cal Thomas, where he blasts conservative Christians for getting involved in politics.
He’s a glory hound.
During the Jimmy Baker/ Jimmy Swaggert scandals of the 80s, he wrote a book bashing charasmatics.
He will say whatever he needs to do to get/stay in the limelight.
Now I understand why Cal Thomas has fallen off the straight and narrow.
Fame and fortune trump Christian values every time for the insincere and the hypocrites.
It bothered me that on the day set aside to celebrate the birth of a Child, this story was the Christmas day front page headline news of the Grand Rapids Press

USA Today http://www.usatoday.com/news/religion/2009-01-01-jesus-year_N.htm
