"When assessing the legacy of Bill Clinton, we can't overlook his shameful sexual behavior in the Oval Office... Indeed, it is my belief that no man has ever done more to debase the presidency or to undermine our Constitution -- and particularly the moral and biblical principles upon which it is based -- than has William Jefferson Clinton."
-James Dobson, discussing President Bill Clinton’s extra-marital affair while in office, January, 2001


In 2001, James Dobson condemned President Clinton for his affair with Monica Lewinsky, saying Clinton had done more than anyone before him to "undermine our Constitution."

Today, Dobson provided a platform on his radio show for former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich to admit to his own extra-marital affair -- at precisely the time he was leading the call for the impeachment of President Clinton. Did Dobson attack Gingrich -- as he did Clinton -- as an enemy of the Constitution, our nation, or even his proclaimed "moral and biblical principles?"

No, he praised Gingrich as a national leader and applauded his "friend's" willingness to discuss such issues on his show.

This double standard cuts to the heart of the religious right's hypocrisy.

Instead of holding their own leaders and allies -- from Ralph Reed to Ted Haggard and Newt Gingrich -- to the standards they attempt to impose on America, they craft excuses and create exceptions.

Please take a moment to forward this message to your friends and family and encourage them to join our campaign to hold the religious right accountable for the hypocrisy.

1. Hypocrisy from the religious right?
I'm shocked! Shocked, I tell you!!!!

Just like I'm sure many of them will look past Rudy Giuliani's past, and McCain's and Haggard and the rest.

3. Grandpa had a saying--

"his head's so far up his ass, he can't see daylight."

And grandpa was gone long before Dobson surfaced.

4. So let me get this straight:
Bill Clinton would be in the good graces of James Dobson if he only

1) changed parties,
2) reinforced his commitment to Christ,
3) denounced Hilary,
4) went on TV with Dobson and confessed his "sin" and showed proper "humiliation" before God and the TV audience,
5) married Monica, and
6) said that it was a long time ago and he was a different person then than he is now.
