I Agree with Denver Post: Mr James Dobson Needs an Education on (Padded) Cells

Since Dobson's doctorate is clearly in hate, fear, and ignorance, I do not happen to recognize it.

From the Denver Post on the issue of Dobson's most recent foolish remarks about stem cell research being like Nazi torture experiments:

Dr. Jack Kessler is chief of neurology at Northwestern University's medical school. He has devoted his professional life to easing suffering by trying to regenerate nerve cells.

Dr. Josef Mengele was Hitler's "Angel of Death." He killed concentration-camp prisoners in painful medical experiments designed to create a master race.

James Dobson's recent attempt to link the two physicians by comparing Nazi torture tests to embryonic stem-cell research places the Focus on the Family founder exactly where he deserves to be:

On the lunatic fringe.

In a radio broadcast Wednesday from Colorado Springs, Dobson set a new standard for wackiness for a guy who already squeezed SpongeBob SquarePants for being soft on homosexuals.

"The thing that means so much to me here on this issue (embryonic stem-cell research) is that people talk about the potential for good that can come from destroying these little embryos and how we might be able to solve the problem of juvenile diabetes," Dobson said. "There's no indication yet that they're gonna do that, but people say that, or spinal-cord injuries or such things.
Thanks again to Buzzflash for the link.
