Set your faces to stunned. Focus on the Family replies to Kuo.
"The release of this book criticizing the Bush administration's handling of its faith-based initiative program seems to represent little more than a mix of sour grapes and political timing. David Kuo's book doesn't hit shelves until next week, but excerpts released by media outlets paint the picture of a dissatisfied federal employee taking shots at the White House effort to connect faith-based nonprofit groups with legitimate societal needs.

Big media will no doubt play this story to the hilt in the next several weeks, because it allows them to take aim at two of their favorite targets: President Bush and socially conservative Christians. Sadly, Kuo's characterization of his former colleagues, bosses and mission — mischaracterizations, really — will be fed to the public as truth."

Karl Rove calling you all a bunch of 'nuts' and the GOP not being able to be above using the Office of Faith Based Initiatives is just a 'mischaracterization'. Sad, just sad, Mr. Dobson.

3. So rarely do I agree with this White House.
It's good that we can come together on a matter of faith.

It wasn't his fault right Dobson? What a hypocritical piece of dog crap he is.

6. Why is it that everybody who speaks up about this regime
is either disgruntled or liars? This guy was not fired, as far as I know he resigned to deal with a health issue. So what reason could he possibly have to lie?

11. Yep. Their saviour gives them the moral basis to make excuses
for the losers in their midst.

Pathetic.

12. Even Kuo is backpedaling on this ... someone must have called him
He seemed to be much more critical in the early interviews on the book, but today I heard him talking to Wolfie and DENYING he ever said KKKarl called fundie leaders "nuts" ... He also seems a LOT more conciliatory toward the White Haus ... Reeks of someone having "gotten" to him.

13. Dobson et al have more faith in Bush than in Jesus
They stoically refuse to hear any evidence against Bush and his cronies. Why? Because they already know what the believe.

"On Bush the Solid Rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sand" they sing.
