The Focus On The Family broadcast of Monday January 26th will without doubt go down in history as the worst thing that James Dobson ever did in his long and mendacious career.
It was a 20th anniversary rebroadcast of Dobbo's pre-execution interview with the charismatic lying psychopath, Ted Bundy.
Ted said "I want my words to be remembered" and James Dobson was more than willing to oblige just because (a) Ted said he had given his life to the Baby Jesus and (b) he told Dobson EXACTLY what he wanted to hear - "Porn made me do it" - Lurid Detective Magazines. Oooooh!
And Dobson nauseatingly lapped it up like a dog returning to a monster's vomit.
He even got to the sickening question of "What did you feel like, after that first killing?"
AAAARRGGHHHH!!! No one needs to ask that. No one needs to know. Of course Ted, said something like "It was like coming out of a dream" - distancing himself from his actions. And Dobson lets him have his say. He never attacks him or challenges him. He just lets him lie and say whatever he wants. It wasn't an interview, it was a puff piece with that sweet porn center that Dobson so wanted to hear.
And Ted is so solicitous, saying "better men than I have studied this" and then he goes off giving us his lying opinion anyway and trying to justify himself. All the while Dobson is deferential and just as bad as bad can be.
He even lets Bundy get away with saying he is a "normal man, with this 'one thing' that I had to keep secret".
No Ted. You really are a MONSTER.
This interview annoyed me more than ANYTHING that James Dobson has ever done.
You can't rely on the statements of a monster to in any way justify your pet crusades against what you fatuously perceive as society's ills. You cannot. And if you try to, you are an idiot.
Even that day Bundy wanted to be in the news. He wanted to confess to more killings to get a stay from his execution. He still wanted to be famous and James Dobson walked right into that penitentiary and he simply OBLIGED HIM.
James Dobson was as gullible a fool 20 years ago as he is today.
Wherever Ted Bundy is now, I'm sure he is thanking Dobson for the publicity and laughing at him in equal measure.
