I am now convinced that Dobson is a demagogue. This attack has all the makings of demagoguery at its finest. It plays on the fears of rural conservatives of those "evil" gays in big blue cities. Moreover, it identifies their children as the target of that attack --- one of the surest ways to get emotions trumping reason. But that's not all. Note how Dobson attacked SpongeBob instead of the other characters that are going to be in the video. Why? Because SpongeBob's demeanor, including his tendency to frolic around and his high-pitched voice, is consistent with the stereotype of gay men amongst, once again, rural conservatives.
Look, I'm not a Bible Belt conservative, and I don't live in an area where real men wear cowboy boots. What I do know is that, regardless of any culture war that may exist between Red and Blue America, SpongeBob is not a player in this conflict. Dobson's demagoguery is good, old-fashioned propaganda that follows a formula that's as old as time.
BUMP
No kidding?

I sure you'd opine as "propaganda" the premise that one cockroach leads to many more?
Twice you mentioned Dr. Dobson "demogoguery." Try looking into a mirror and repeating your post. You'll get a whiff of your own propagandist "demogoguery."
Whether you agree with or against Dobson, the simple truth is that the homosexuals have made Spongebob and the others, players in this field. They have used these cartoons to promote their agenda.
I have seen all the SpongeBob shows. I have yet to see anything in it to promote religion of any kind, so why do we have to have the homosexuals add their agenda to it or anyone else's for that matter. What kind of media outcry do you think there would have been if God had been made part of the cartoon?
Once the door was opened (by the homosexuals) it became open for debate. No one would have heard a word from Dobson, if they had just left the cartoon where is was, on the television.

In case you haven't noticed, homosexual activity (not the person) is "Evil" to most of those in the red cities. Why do you think there is a culture war between red and blue America?
Best post on this whole topic.
sorry but you are wrong. There is nothing wrong with Sponge Bob, however the use of him, and other characters children love to lure them into believing things that are not safe, IS wrong.

Go on...you're pulling my leg ain't ya?
