Focus on the Family commits a great evil

[elfs]

Okay, say what you want about Michael Moore, the man still deserves a measure of common decency. So when Focus on the Family chooses to publish, with no explanation, where Moore's children can be found in their daily email to their followers, you have to wonder if "common decency" can be found even among those who swear upon their favorite stack of Bible that they're doing it all in "the name of decency."

There are simply some things you don't do. And yes, I'm sure that one could have dug Moore's address and phone number out of some legal paperwork somewhere-- that's not the point. The tipping point between relative anonymity (which Moore's kids surely deserve) and open exposure is maintained only by a certain amount of social grace, which FotF has now demonstrated they completely lack.

Given how unpopular Moore is with some people, this is unwelcome, unwarrented, unChristian, and unAmerican. And those are the nice things I can say about Dobson's little smear campaign.

You may remember from some years ago, a website that posted the names and addresses of doctors that performed abortions, with the intent that some anti-abortion fanatic go murder them in the name of preventing more abortions. Such murders were happening around that time, too, though I don't recall if any of the doctors on that list were gunned down.

A Christian web site, of course. Thou Shalt Not Kill. Love Thy Neighbor As Thyself.

Disgusting. Outrageous.

Just like a few years ago when the Colorado Springs loonies tried to pass a state amendment to remove all civil protections from homosexuals so anyone could discriminate against them. Dobson and his cronies helped push that "Colorado for Family Values" crap too (I guess hate *is* a family value for those scum). It's so irritating it would be nice to give them a taste of their own medicine and firebomb the "Focus on (Creating) the (Bigoted) Family" headquarters, I pass by it every time I get stuff from Ft. Carson. But doing so would make me no better than them. It's just so hard to combat hate and bigotry, especially when lunatics try to claim that religion demands the bigotry and violence.

It would be tragic, but a veritable godsend, if some freak was to try to hurt Moore's family as a result of what Dobson is encouraging, what they need is to be implicated in inciting violence and thoroughly discredited.

What micheal moore should do is simply sue them on one account for every person that harasses his children. This is clearly violating his childrens rights to remain private citizens. What kind of people thought this up? These people are clearly persecuting Moore for his political views, and are inciting harassment and possible violence on his part. They are violating rights here, maybe since they think they are holy and the boon of their god that they dont need to follow the laws of man.
