Powell v. Dobson

BC can't decide if we agree with Daily Beast writer Max Blumenthal's argument that the blood feud between James Dobson and Colin Powell factored into Powell's endorsement of Obama. We have trouble believing that the most loyal man in America (that's one of those backhanded compliments) broke ranks with his party over the playground bully (not any form of compliment). That said, Blumenthal's masterful account of the Dobson intimidation campaign is fascinating. Apparently it's Focus on the Fear when you dare to disagree with Dr. Dobson.
