This thread is interesting and I think it requires a translation of Dobson's remarks:
I believe Mr. Dobson was trying to say that Fred Thomson is a "CHINO" and that would be CHristian In Name Only. I don't know Fred Thomson to comment further.
This is a must read. See

Sounds like Dobson has converted to the Robertsonian faith. The Republican Party needs to firmly dissociate itself from Dobson and his ilk.
I don't need Dobson to tell me who's a [b]Christian[/b] or not...his personal opinion of Thompson means nothing to me.
Assessing someone else's 'christianity' is pompous, arrogant and judgemental.
How did they know they were "white" evangelicals? Did they research the family histories of a representative sample of such voters?
Fred, on the other hand, doesn't need to kiss Dobson's butt because he lacks most of those moral failings.
Gee...Christ Jesus wasn't an Evangelical Christian either. I don't know anything about Dobson...but he sounds like a nut.
This sentence makes a lie out of the first sentence. Somebody including dobson is full of --IT.
Dobson should be more careful with his remarks, knowing they can be taken out of context and skewed. Whatever he meant, it seems inconsistent to question Thompson's personal faith and give Newt the benefit of the doubt.
Fred is, then, my kind o' Christian: sleeves in the jacket; Christian in deed, and not word. I know one when I see one.....don't need to see the card: the color of the Golden rule paints Utterances, demeanor, and actions. And any Christian who can't see it had better check their own minds...to see who's first: Christ, or themselves. MHO
Hey, dobson. Try pulling the plank out of your own eye first.
Dobson is full of himself. He doesn't speak for the majority of Christians. He also underestimates how badly the base want to beat back the libs this election, especially after this Iraq bill.
Where does it say in the Constitution that a President has to be a Christian and who made Dobson God.
Judge not lest ye be judged brother Dobson.
Dobson only wishes he had that much power. His empty accusations won't have any effect, thankfully.
Since when did Rev. Dobson set the gold standard for being Christian?
If Dobson doesn't like Fred Thompson, then there's a good chance that I will.

I hope for the day Republicans can completely ignore the likes of Dobson.
Sad that so many FReepers have bought into this MSM propaganda and are willing to accept the remarks of Dan Gilgoff who has a leftist agenda to smear Right wingers and cause dissention among us.
Chalk one up for the liberal press.
Is the Church of Christ the same denomination that Obama belongs to?
