http://www.atheists.org/action/alert-08-oct-2005.htmlThe serious problem we face is that DobsonGate is being muted by other news. There is a substantial possibility that a serious crime has been committed by the administration, and we need to make sure it is investigated thoroughly.
Televangelist James Dobson today denied that he received any improper “insider” information from White House political operative Karl Rove during discussions over the nomination of Harriet Miers to the U.S. Supreme Court. Speaking on his “Focus on the Family” daily radio program, Dobson claims that during what was then an unpublicized, secret conversation with Rove, he was told only that the nominee was “from a very conservative church, which is almost universally pro-life,” and that he did not inquire about how Miers would rule on specific cases. Dobson said that his discussions with Rove centered only on Ms. Miers’ “judicial philosophy” and personal faith. Incredibly, after boasting that he had been made “privy” to “confidential” information (http://www.atheists.org/flash.line/court39.htm) Dobson then became a vociferous cheerleader for Bush’s latest Supreme Court pick. Can we believe this tale? Already, key U.S. Senators — some of them members of the Senate Judiciary Committee which will be holding hearings on the Miers nomination — are calling for Dobson to be subpoenaed and testify under oath. American Atheists is also demanding that the Committee fully investigate the “Dobsongate” scandal. Earlier this week, the organized filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request with the White House to produce all documents, copies of E-mail, phone logs, memoranda and any other pertinent materials covering the Rove-Dobson conversations (http://www.atheists.org/flash.line/court40.htm). This story must not be buried! Urge SJC members to press Bush White House to release documents! Ask the Committee to Subpoena James Dobson and Karl Rove
Spanders obviously has the ability to see through bullshit.
Speaking of high-powered people doing whatever they want…here’s a small video presentation:

Yes, it’s left-wing propaganda, but it is basically true, according to my studies. Most Americans have been hoodwinked into thinking that they are just, democratic, and free.
Other folks may have a different “education” than I do, but trust in information has become a gut thing. I choose not to follow blindly where the official line leads.
Check out http://www.pinr.com/. I think it’s a very good news analysis site. I helped build it. It’s now used by the Army, US Defense Intelligence Agency and multiple universities. You might find it a little thick, but good info.
Spanders,
I’d buy you a lunch anyday, sir! I imagine that you don’t live in the Denver metro area huh?
As always, you are a gentleman and a scholar!
Hey Atomic, I’m actually in NC, but thanks! If you’re in Raleigh I’m always up for a drink. Beer drinker… philosopher. If I do go to Denver, I’ll certainly take you up on it. Reluctant, I’m glad you enjoyed my comment. I always enjoy reading yours.
spanders: Always? You’re not positing an absolute, are ya? LOL
Even when I’m an abrasive, abusive SOB? (LOL?)
Much appreciated, sir. Thanks.
Stay in touch, my friend.
Hot Flash…er, I mean News Flash!
Harriet Miers has resigned her nomination to the Supremes.
No big surprise there. But thanks for the update.
Any bets on who’s next?
My money is on ‘Brownie’, he’s done such a great job.
The pundits were throwing in the possibility of an appellate judge named Karen Williams. I know nothing about her, but she’s got a great first name!
Of course, Karl Rove may be looking for a job, and his past is impeccable… Smiling for his mug photo; that must mean he’s trustworthy. But then, he’s not a woman. Hmmm.
