You know, you gotta wonder if Dr. Dobson ever saw an episode of the original “He-Man” cartoons. Damn, that show was gayer than a picnic basket after dancing around the Maypole! ---

As **FriarTed** showed in his link, Dobson doesn’t have a problem with the video, only in the fact that a pro-gay organization is giving out a video on tolerance. He is afraid about what comes next. Yeah, maybe he jumped the issue a bit here. Bad strategy. He should have just watched them and waited for them to do what ever he was afraid they were going to do. Can’t imagine what that would be myself, but that’s what I would have done if I was against this organization releasing this video. Oh, and TOTALLY I’m not defending Dobson here. I’m just saying let’s respond to what he actually said, not what CNN or MSNBC or whatever other organizations are saying about him. I totally think he’s wrong too. I saw the video. It’s pretty freaking NOT threatening to Christians in the slightest. And I think that tolerance to every one, including gays, is a Christian ideal. He’s not a representative of Christians like me. ---

Does anyone remember the good old days when a male rabbit named Bugs Bunny could put on a dress and makeup and come on to Elmer Fudd and it wasn’t gay? Cross-dressing, same-sex flirtation and a little beastiality and it was just good clean fun. Those were the days. ---

Cross-dressing, same-sex flirtation and a little beastiality and it was just good clean fun. Those were the days. Don’t forget that Elmer was trying to kill that scwewy wabbit and the only reason Bugs dressed in drag was to protect himself…or at least that’s what _he_ said it was for. ---
