As many of you likely know, in response to the Massachusetts gay bar rampage, 
The National Gay and Lesbian Task force issued a press release stating that "Rhetoric of religious right continues to fuel violence against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people."
The press release itself went on to say that "The hatred and loathing fueling this morning's vicious attack on gay men in New Bedford is not innate, it is learned. And who is teaching it? Leaders of the so-called Christian right, that's who. Individuals like James Dobson of Focus on the Family, the Family Research Council's Tony Perkins, the Rev. Pat Robertson and their ilk are obsessed with homosexuality. They use their vast resources, media networks and affiliated pulpits to blame lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people for all the ills of society. They disguise their hatred as 'deeply held religious beliefs.' We have witnessed seven years of vicious anti-LGBT organizing in Massachusetts — and endured the hate-filled rantings of Brian Camenker of the Article 8 Alliance and Parents Rights Coalition and Ed Pawlick of MassNews. The blood spilled this morning is on their hands."
Well, James Dobson has responded with a "something." Does he deny responsibility? No. Does he condemn the act in the bar as unchristian, criminal or even a bad thing? No. Basically, the only rebuttal he makes in a rather indirect 
manner is "Fuck you queer, you can't prove nothing." (My words.)
Oh, c'mon Dobson. Don't be so modest! You're just as good as those Muslim clerics who inspire suicide bombers, perhaps not as direct, which explains your lower success rate, but you can try harder. If your buddy Pat Robertson can get away with calling for the murder of a head of state and your bitch Ann Coulter can get away with calling for the murder of a Supreme Court Justice, you should show us your real stuff and show those Mullahs what you're really worth.
