Focus on the Family's James C. Dobson predicted on his radio program that allowing same-sex marriage in the United States would lead to "group marriage," "marriage between daddies and little girls," or "marriage between a man and his donkey." Maybe he came up with this idea by asking his wife what she thought about this issue. She did, after all, marry a genuine ass.

He is an extremist nutjob. Absolutely pathetic. Notice how often conservatives talk about marry beasts? Somehow I think that is what they really want.
I'm always amazed how the neocons always make the leap to beastiality myself -- but also as facinating is the fact that plural marriage is prevalent throughout their bible and yet they lump it right along side beastiality as if they are somehow logically and morally connected.
The whole "(2) consenting adults" concept is well out of reach for these folks.
How is it possible that someone with all of Dobson's obvious cleverness can't see that CONSENT is necessary in a marriage, and children and animals cannot give legal consent to a legally binding contract such as marriage?
And why doesn't anyone say that heterosexual marriage is a slippery slope leading to plural marriages, incest, and bestiality? If the fact of two consenting adults entering a contract leads to such things, then ALL marriage would lead to bestiality.
Such unbelievably unrealistic and insulting arguments! It amazes me that 5 million people take these things seriously enough to be members of FOCUS and similar groups.
Regan - You're right, those WERE the arguments against interracial marriage a couple generations ago. Some people are slow learners I guess!
Now, Dobson himself says he has interviewed hundreds of gay people. . .and it's scary to read his books (I've read parts of them) because some of what he says is either true, or very close to the truth, but then he departs from that into false 'explanations' as to why homosexuals are inferior beings. No matter who is arguing or how, against same sex marriage, if you follow the argument long enough it always degenerates into the ridiculous. . .usually with a blatant statement that gays are not as good as "normal" people.
Sure, I would be interested in reading your speech!
It is completely baffling to me how Dobson got to be such a political insider - I guess because he has so much money??? Focus is a mutl-million dollar business. Unbelievably dangerous.
Gay Marriage will lead to marrying donkeys? Hummm, I don't own a donkey and I don't know many people who do own one BUT I just wonder how his Ass of a wife must feel because of his assinine comment...
I saw a book in the library (sorry forget the title) but it was written by an ex insider who worked with Dobson. It was an expose' on how nutty and dangerous he is. It said he was filled with inner rage (no surprise there--what do you expect from someone who supports beating children) and also that he was a big racist (i bet he keeps that under wraps) and of course a greedy money grubbing con artist. NSS (No shit Sher.)

It's clear Ms. Dobson already married a 'jackass', so the Donkey bit is old hat thanks to him! Maybe he's talking about his son? His boy looks like a leather daddy, and sounds like a leather lady!
