Again if it's true what Fred said....

..like BibCh, I too find it very strange to disconnect (so early in the game) from millions of folks who care/love/support Dr.Dobson.

It really doesn't make sense.....

If I'm reading it correctly, it sounds like he could care less what Dobson thinks and believe it or not, that translates to millions of Dobson listeners the same thing.

Maybe lots of Freepers as well as many in the US wish Dobson would shut-up or go away....

..it's not going to happen and he does have loyal listeners across the nation.

He doesn't tell them what to do, but we revere, respect and support him across the board.

He's not infallible, but he's honest & corrects his mistakes when they are made.

if Dobson supporters were to react that way to what fred said, i would think less of them. surely people can respect someone who doesn't feel the need to justify their faith to anyone who presumes to question it, which is precisely what Dr. Dobson did. he may not have affirmatively SAID that Thompson was not a Christian, but he most certainly DID question it.

i truly cannot see how Christians, of which I AM ONE, could possibly take it as a "diss" that Thompson doesn't particularly feel the need to justify his faith to someone else. i believe that Fred THompson is a Christian and that he is not looking to alienate OTHER Christians in the slightest by refusing to pander to Dr. Dobson, which is exactly how it would be construed if he then were to ask to speak to Dr. Dobson to CONVINCE him of his faith. Since Dr. Dobson was the one to question the veracity of Fred's faith, it seems much more incumbent on Dr. Dobson to apologize to Fred for that, than for Fred to apologize for not feeling the need to justify his faith.

He doesn’t tell them what to do, but we revere, respect and support him across the board.

How far does “support him across the board” go? Would you not vote for someone Dobson disapproves of for the simple reason that Dobson does not approve? Not calling you out, just asking?

Never said he should shut up or go away.

I do feel that he A: doesn’t speak for all Christians and B: has ridiculous expectations for a candidate.

He also insulted Fred.
