Dobson And Disgraced WH Staffer Pay Bush Tribute: He Was ‘The Instrument In God’s Hand’ That Kept Us Safe

This week, James Dobson has been using his Focus on the Family Daily Broadcast to air his 1 1/2-hour interview with Tim Goeglein, a former special assistant to President Bush. The interview — billed as an “Insider’s View of the Bush Presidency” — has actually been a 1 1/2-hour love fest to the former president. Some highlights of Goeglien’s thoughts:

– “George W. Bush kept us safe. Providence kept us safe. But George Bush was the instrument in God’s hand as the leader of the free world.”

– “Of course, this was the great blessing of our first president, George Washington — the original George W. … The greatest trait of Washington was to see things as they were and not as he wanted to see them. That was George W. Bush’s gift when it came to this war. He immediately upon being told of the attacks knew that this was war and that we were being attacked existentially by radical Islam.”

– “I am actually very confident and hopeful, that in the years ahead with the benefit of time and space, that historians will look back at those remarkable and incredibly eventful eight years and say, ‘You know, he made the right decisions about the biggest things during those eight years.’“

Dobson also gave Obama a back-handed compliment, saying that unlike Bush, he can “read without sounding like he’s reading.” “That is a real skill,” added Dobson. “I mean, that’s something not very many people can do. In fact, I think President Obama is in the White House today because of that ability to read off a teleprompter.” Listen to excerpts here: ... http://thinkprogress.org/2009/06/11/dobson-goeglein-bush/

1. What silly nonsense.

bush was an Abject Failure. Dobson is an ass. End of story.

:eyes:

[trusty elf]

12. But, but, but...

I have a picture of god and smirkus maximus keeping us safe.

[L. Coyote]

19. God bless the Crusade.

Stirring up religious war makes America safe? :rofl:

[MotorCityMan]

46. I'd go looking for the "St. * with his halo" pictures

that the media used to print with disgusting regularity, but they were pretty sickening.

This deification of * is the most undeserving since they elevated Ronnie to sainthood.

[timtom]

2. Wotta load of absolute crap!!

I want to scream when someone like Dobson sounds off.

George Bush was COMPLICIT in 9/11!!

[moggie]

3. I'd prefer the word "tool"

[Cobalt-60]

21. You got there first!

But I still have to say it : Junior was a tool.
He's too crude to be called an instrument!

[burning rain]

4. Bush didn't keep us safe on 9/11.

And he didn't keep thousands of Americans safe in Iraq.

[no_hypocrisy]

7. Absolutely.

[Berry Cool]

5. If Bush was "the instrument in God's hand"

would that God had taken up the oboe instead.

[Lasher]

6. Kept us safe.

Except for that thing on September 11, 2001 when he was asleep at the wheel. And that needless little adventure in Iraq that he lied us into. 4,311 US solders weren't kept safe from that.

[marmar]

8. Dobson is something else that goes in your hand....when you're standing at a urinal.

..... n/t

[Political Tiger]

9. Apparently God had a different instrument in His hand on 9/11.

n/t

[ejpoeta]

10. he didn't keep us safe on 911. and he hasn't kept us safe since then.

[Stephanie]

11. Tell it to New Orleans, and Manhattan

[malaise]

13. Sorry James Dobson

9/11 happened under Bush's watch. The instrument of God failed everyone.

[DCKit]

14. It's just not fair. They can holler any crazy bullshit they want and they're covered...

by "free speech" and religion, but when anyone points out the documented criminal acts of the former Administration, they're unpatriotic (at best) and should be locked up. He who screams loudest always wins the argument, no matter how insane or illogical it might be.

The wingers don't fight fair. Maybe it's time we started using the same tactics.

[Vinca]

15. Except Bush didn't keep us safe. What's wrong with these people?

Have they moved 9/11 to Clinton's watch?

[Frank Cannon]

16. I agree with Dobson that Bush is an enormous tool

But I disagree with him on the whole "kept us safe" thing.

[Bandit]

17. If Bush* kept us safe why did so many Americans die from cancer

Bush* actually cut cancer research funding..More people die daily from tobacco related illness than did on 9-11 and yet Bush* actually cut research funding for health care..

[opihimoimoi]

18. Bush and supporters are of the DRAINER CROWD...they Drainus of energy

In the end, they are a PAINUS GIGANTUS

Bush let us down on Aug 7th 2001...instead of warning the Nation of impending attack...he did nothing

No warnings...not even one....

He did not keep us safe....he made it worse....

He is EVIL as they come....

[tanyev]

20. Are those really Goeglein's own thoughts, or is he plagiarizing again?

[HughBeaumont]

22. Dobson also advocates beating kids with plastic rods. So he can get fucked.

Grizzled old bastards. Put them all on an island, let them be angry and weed each other out for whatever reason and let us all live a douchebag-free life.

[Dappleganger]

23. He is right about one thing...

historians do tend to re-write history, although it'll take a whole lot of stupid to paint Bush with in a positive light.

Dobson is demented tool, spawned by Satan. :evilgrin:

[spanone]

24. bwahahahaha....oh it hurts, stop it. bwahahahahaa

[hatrack]

25. I thought he was the plunger in the hand of Joe The Plumber . . .

Pushing this country down the drain once and for all . . .

[Solly Mack]

26. Idiot

[lunatica]

27. Which means that God used Bush to kill innocent people

Ergo we must be God's favorite. The End.

[kskiska]

28. Why couldn't God have found a way to keep him in office forever?

The Lord works in mysterious ways. Dobson just misses the good old days when he had a direct line to the Oval Office.

[lunatica]

29. why did God use Bin Laden to attack us?

[mnhtnbb]

30. He immediately upon being told of the attacks knew that this was war and that we were being attacked

:rofl:


Bush knew shit immediately upon hearing of the attacks. He had to run away on AF1 to God knows
where--hiding in bunkers-- so Big Daddy Dick could engineer the stand down of our air defense.

What a load of crap. Do these guys ever pay any attention to facts? They just make up whatever
suits their tiny little brains and fits with their bullshit.

:rofl:

It's really sad that people this stupid get any attention at all.

[peekaloo]

31. like a joystick for a violent video game.

or he's implying, you know, Gawd kept his hand on his hoo hoo dilly for 7 years. remember that first year doesn't seem to count.

[madmom]

32. Well that just proves that god isn't as "all knowing" as they say he is, or he

would've chosen someone better.In other words he fucked up, big time!

[opihimoimoi]

33. The man is clearely NUTS and should be banished from the media

[JBoy]

34. That made me throw up in my mouth.

[ljm2002]

35. "George Washington — the original George W."...

...OMG I could not get past that part, was laughing so hard.

Pathetic.

So in their world, I suppose God must be taking a holiday -- what with putting that darned Muslin into office and all.

[Froward69]

36. Dobson Is vile

the "lace draped hate" that spews from that nutjob is unrepentant. He does not allow anyone to "focus on HIS family." only the rest of us get to be ridiculed and subjected to misinformed bigotry.

[Aristus]

37. They pretend September 11th didn't happen.

Traitors...

[Forkboy]

38. Methinks God has has had a different tool in hand all along.

[Swamp Rat]

39. Dobson sure likes 'tools'

:hi: Forkboy

[Forkboy]

41. Jesus, dude, now I'm going to have that line stuck in my head all day.

"Shower with your son and show him your penis." Make a great t-shirt. :)

:hi:

[BolivarianHero]

40. And this fucker's a doctor?

What the Hell is wrong with America?

Though it's quite possible that God intervened by encouraging Bush to take so many vacation days. Just thing about how screwed up the U.S. would be if the country had been subjected to full-time, rather than part-time, incompetence.

[Hepburn]

42. I want some of what Dobson has been smoking....

...it must be some good stuff cuz I have NEVER seen reality altered that much!

:rofl:

[Initech]

43. RIP separation of church and state.

[Bjorn Against]

44. By instrument does he mean tool?

I certainly agree that George Bush is a tool, and if Dobson considers Dick Cheney to be God then his statement would make sense up until the point he claims Bush kept us safe, because anyone who thinks George Bush kept us safe when thousands of Americans were sent off to die is delusional.

[Bucky]

45. Also the instrument of God's hand punishing those 4500 Americans in Iraq for whatever

I don't know what those 100,000 Iraqis did to piss God off so much that he used George Bush to kill them and blow their children's legs off, but it must've been baaaad.
