Focus on the Family issued the following statement......

It doesn't say Dr. James Dobson clarifies his stance, it says they had to "explain" it to mean something other than what he said.

We know what this is......

Now, Dobson may be an honorable man, but he doesn't speak for the entire Christian community.

Nobody knows exactly what he said unless there is a tape somewhere. You seem to believe the MSM and dismiss Dobson's statements on their face. Personally, I'll leave it in the "unknown" category.

March 29, 2007: "In his conversation with Mr. Gilgoff, Dr. Dobson was attempting to highlight that to the best of his knowledge, Sen. Thompson hadn't clearly communicated his religious faith, and many evangelical Christians might find this a barrier to supporting him. Dr. Dobson told Mr. Gilgoff he had never met Sen. Thompson and wasn't certain that his understanding of the former senator's religious convictions was accurate. Unfortunately, these qualifiers weren't reported by Mr. Gilgoff. We were, however, pleased to learn from his spokesperson that Sen. Thompson professes to be a believer.

Dobson speaks for Christians in the same way that Jesse Jackson speaks for blacks.

Well, duh. He doesn't claim to "speak for the entire Christian community." He speaks for himself. Is he allowed to do that?
