  • @rgf806 It's not called "Old school" it's called "bigot"

  • @ThevanGoghBlues THANKS FOR SHARING!! i did not know that, but am not surprised whatsoever. I'm pretty sure most of those preachers are fake. I believe Christ calls them "wolves in sheep's clothing" It's madness i tell ya! Also, it's pretty sad that so many people blindly follow them just because they call themselves christian and read a few scriptures out of the bible.

  • @ThevanGoghBlues

    Go ahead and throw the stone " sinless". It must be awesome to be you.

  • I for one dont believe in gay marriges or gay people. I guess im old school in the belief that GOD created man and woman for the puropose of one union. Not man on man or woman on woman. I could go on but wont. GOD Bless everyone. GOD'S Will be done

  • @rgf806 Fortunately, simple-minded bigotry such as yours is on the decline in America. Good riddance.

  • Sometime in 1988 Dobson was discussing AIDS on his FOTF radio show and I swear he used the term "explosive, bloody diarrhea" like forty times. James Dobson = colossal right-wing turd.

  • "Dr" James Dobson and Focus on the Family is SICK! How sick would jesus be to know that an organization that preaches his name also spends millions to oppress people instead of feeding people. So disgusting. is he even really a doctor? lol

  • does it really matter, there are still wingnuts out there with super INSANE beliefs.

  • I got to the 1:39 point and I had to stop watching... I'm afraid I know more about the situation than this entertainer does and he isn't necessarily interested in precise reporting - "close is good enough" is the kind of reporting I'm hearing from this guy

  • You guys aren't young turks, YOU ARE YOUNG JERKS. You are out of your mind.

  • @lcr1955=Go suck James Dobson's dick

  • focus on your family, dr. d

  • I bet ur children are as horrible of human beings as you. He is an amazing man. Get a life, a better happier one I hope. I am a 38 year old highly successful ( don't have to do low life podcasts like, hmmmm who am I thinking of?) bc i had loving parents who knew how and when to use the Dobson claw. Think ur parents missed an opportunity during ur development (or lack there of...).

  • @duncantiffany attacking his family when defending focus on the family, nice.

  • @duncantiffany do you actually believe that the things you just wrote here are reflective of the teachings of Jesus Christ? you are a failure as a christian if you think Jesus would approve of your behavior

  • Good riddance.

  • I guess Evangelical Christians are a little behind the curve.

  • This guy is wiser than anybody else. We'll see if can keep talking on dooms day.

  • WTF advertisement?...... pissoff

  • ummm....the LDS church (Mormons) didn't put any money into prop 8, church members did, but the church itself did not.  Get your facts straight.

  • @snoman75 actually the mormon church gave a ton of money. 365gay.com/news/mormon-church-­admits-it-spent-100-times-more­-for-prop-8-than-reported/ <---go to this websight

    "The Church put an estimated $25 million into the battle to end gay marriage in California."

    They lied to everyone about it. You need to get YOUR facts strait. But who needs "facts" when you have "faith" right snoman?

  • PROUD ARMENIANS CAN'T STAND TYT! CANNOT STAND THAT TURK PIECE OF SHIT.

  • Focus on the family is cool and you are not. James has courage to stand up to things he beleives in - well done James.

  • @gladyscornish .....Dobson believes in striking an INFANT with a stick in his book "Dare to Discipline"

    He is doing more harm to religion than helping it.

  • @gladyscornish The fact that this excuse for a man would dare to say you can suppress an unavoidable part of yourself to serve the purpose of worshiping the Lord is scary enough. The fact that he's tot a single person giving him props is sickening. Why isn't he telling the young people not to waste their money on being fashionable, or that it's wrong to bully people in the high school cafeteria? That's more important in God's eye than trying to erase homosexuality.

  • Cenk forgot to mention that Dobson thinks Spongebob Squarepants is gay.

  • This guy needs to get a life

  • this guy is a fool. mr. big mouth here..talking smack about James Dobson.

  • WHAT A FOOL!!!

    NOT JAMES DOBSON.

    I'M TALKING TO YOU, WHATEVER YOUR NAME IS!!!

  • Speaking as a person who was raised ultra fundamentalist and who is now a liberal Christian, it is accurate for me to say that Dr. James Dobson and his Focus on the Family company were a thorn in my side during my teen years.

  • Dobson is probably most responsible in the last forty years or more for why people choose not to believe in God. He does know how to alienate and be way too exclusive. Christianity is no in-crowd, as he would have the world believe. Let's help the poor guy grow up in his old age!

  • Focus on the Family has given American Christianity a bad name. More Americans than ever before declare themselves to be "non-religious," mainly due to arrogant phonies like Dobson, Falwell and Robertson.

  • @HPoelzig what part does Dobson go off? Clarify it for me.

  • @HPoelzig AMEN!!!

  • You turks are rediculous! Still attacking the Christians i see. Go fix your muslim problems first before attacking Christians. James Dobson does not stand for his own views, he stands for the views of real God(bible) so everything you say against Dobson you say against God. The judgement is coming!! Get ready !!!

  • @GarikAxper

    You are so mercifully free of the ravages of intelligence.

  • @GarikAxper Muslim-Christian....... its all bullshit that interferes with my life.

  • @newguyout There are no such thing as Muslim-Christian. These are completely different religions. Actualy Christianity is nor really a religion, but a true walk with God. You dont put your trust in people, but in God Himself, there fore you dont get deceived by anyone ! And if someone is preaching by the bible, then you know that the message is from God.

  • @GarikAxper Um........ yeah. Christianity. Dobson has really thin skin. He is pathetic just like that bean-town toad Bill Donohue.

  • Anyone that takes Dobson seriously has much bigger problems than the Young Turks.

  • Yeah - over 12,000 views and a 5-star rating.

  • What an ass this man is.

  • Comment removed

  • Oh shit its the young turds!! (pause video). That was close I almost got the zero experience, overly wordy, faux friendly opinions of these zeppelin like windbags right in the fucking moosh. Now that I have managed to avoid that I can deposit some hate filled expletives for these fucking tedious cunts. That'll do.

  • This guy is a total idiot.

  • I think James Dobson has always been right. I believe hardcore ponography leads to violent on young men.

  • LOL his standards aren't even supported by the American Psychological Association.

  • Ironically the APA does support torture. Dobson's book "Dare to Discipline" reads like a S & M book on how to force children into authoritarian followers rather than the type of people who question authority. Dobson is the antithesis of Dr Spock.

  • So the studies that show that sexually suppressed men have an increased tendency to sexual violence is completely false?

  • @vazq335112000 , do you have any data or research or facts  to prove this?

  • @vazq33511200=Bitch

  • All charities and not-for-profits groups are suffering in the recession. So are most for-profit businesses. Correlation between financial difficulty in this current environment to support for a group's efforts is really misguided. If anything, Obama's current policy attempts and lack of real results are bolstering the conservative position in the US.

  • That's the most shallow type of faith there is. If there is a god I think he would appreciate followers who worship because of his message than those who simply do so out of fear of eternal damnation.

  • I dont care whether you like Dobson or not. Repent and turn to Jesus or spend eternity in hell. Jesus is alive!

  • @mfmcqueen Repent for what?

  • Actually gay people did have the right to marry in California so yes prop 8 did take away there rights. Gay marriage is a civil rights issue and religion should have no part in it. If the individual churches say they don't want to marry gays that's there right to do so.  But the government has no right to tell you who you can and can't marry.

  • That is so right. Dont agree with homos but why is that the governments concern? Are church and state not seperate there?

  • There were no rights for gays to marry anyway. So to say they were "taken away" makes no sense because there was nothing to take away.

    The question really needs to be whether a specific group of people should be able to overrule the majority opinion, which is what happened in prop 8.

    Voters decided, not advocacy groups.

  • Dobson's views align perfectly with the Bible.

    Liberals and their pals in the Gay Agenda do not.

  • the thing i love is that these radical idoits think that stoping gay marriage will stop us from being gay, that is the funniest thing.....for those of you radical crap sacks marriage is just a public decleration of love.......even with out this right we are still going to exsit. and its pathatic that these group that claim that they want to protect children run ads with kids exposing them to political adgndas. your the idiots exposing them

  • To those opposed to Christianity: If it is a belief that you don't hold then why do you care so much that others do???

  • I don't think its a matter of very many people opposing Christianity as a faith. Many, many wonderful people are self-described Christians. I think that the thing that irks people is how some (and I emphasize some) people who call themselves "Christian" seem to hold the right of each and every American to the pursuit of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness in complete contempt. This is simply anti-American, and I for one have zero tolerence for it.

  • It's not so much that people care about Christianity...it's that those of us who are not Christians...don't want Christian morality...or any religious specific morality...to be imposed on state or federal laws.

    It's dangerous policy to allow religion into politics/public policy. PROP 8 is scary. The majority was allowed to vote away the rights of a minority group of Americans. That should scare everyone.

  • THANK YOU! FINALLY, someone who understands! :D

  • @rhythmtapper

    Some of us are Christians, (according to John 3:16), and we still find Dobson a bigot and crazy to the point as far as I am conserned he's against what Chirst taught- Love your neighbor as Christ has loved you.

  • live in hell james dobson, to bad its made up.

  • It's disgusting. Some of these folks even took out second mortgages to donate to prop 8. CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT? What gets me isn't that prop 8 passed, but that so many people had that much hate that they were willing to go to such lengths to pass it.

  • lucky im atheist lol

    i dont think atheist would do that, ever

  • Even some Evangelical Christians are wising up to this lying sack of shit.

  • TYT ?...geez..who watches this stupid show anyway... hearing this boring and ignorant guy ridicule other people well, that just shows you what kind of people listen to this trash. get a life people. ..and hitting a dog,hey,whatever works...its effective discipline

  • obviously you watch this show. lol. And care enough to write about it.

    Better yet, who listens to Dobson? Don´t tell me I already know.

  • What a scary guy this Dobson is, I had never heard of him before. But that scene of him bragging of beating his dog is forever etched in my mind, this is one sick person. And he wrote books on how to raise your children?? How could anyone give credence to this guy?

  • huh? beating dog?

  • James Dobson and his followers believe that God made us different from animals and therefore superior. I have heard hundreds of bullshit lectures on this subject by him and his disciples. They get mad at movies such as Charlotte's Web because it actually suggests that a life is a life whether it is a pig or a human. I heard this idiocy for my whole childhood and feel scared from it.

  • You must look at a lot of videos lol. Ive seen you comment on many ones I have commented on, not even ones with a ton of views.

  • actually this is the only one I have commented on. Sorry

  • Man...he is no man... We are created in his image! Jesus came down as a man yes and he was perfect.. thus his death and resurection took our sins,, mine and yours.

  • I like how you all believe that things having to do with the living God are stories and made up by campfire story writers. You all are so terribly misled!

  • this guy is so sad, and anyone who agrees with him. He clearly needs Jesus Christ to change his blinded mind. of course the truth is, if he hates James Dobson, he would hate Jesus Christ 100 times more.

  • you're joking right? you mean you're really comparing dobson to christ? i think i just threw up in my mouth......

  • i didn't put this....

    but it didnt compare him to Christ.

    he just lives the way Christ wants us too.

    and he dosen't hate gays he just doesn't like the act of it.

    whoever posted that comment in my name I do agree with dem

  • Do you think Jesus would brag about beating a 12 pound animal with a belt for sleeping on the bathroom rug? Do you think that this is "living the way Christ wants us too."

  • Thank you for pointing this out, RustyTBone69.

    After reading your comments here, I wanted to verify if in fact James Dobson did abuse a little dog with a belt. I found a passage he wrote in "The Strong Willed Child" where he not only admits to this, but also brags about it!

    James Dobson has no business dispensing advice to dog trainers OR parents; in fact, he needs to seek professional help for his serious anger management issues and his embarrassing arrogance.

  • although i am a christian, i really dislike james dobson. he basically advocates hitting children saying "it helps their self esteem". He is disgusting and parents should not listen to him.

  • Really? oh okay...I think you are mistaken

  • He does. He thinks its a parents right, to physically hurt their kids. My parents used to listen to him all the time. Thank God I am no longer a kid

  • Thank God you are not a parent!

  • I wasnt talking about you for the comment thing. I am a parent; and a good one.

  • ahh.. I see...

  • Thank you and God Bless you. Unlike AMEAGLE199 you actually pay attention to the evil of James "the child abuser" Dobson.

  • younger people that go to church SHOULD give a damn about homosexuality or theyre hypocrites.

    Jesus told us that homosexuality is wrong. Its been wrong, it IS wrong, and will continue to be wrong, even if this crappy show and the media try to sway you into this liberalism.

    cranky old dudes? hes more loving than most of us will ever be. a PHD in child development.

  • you must be drinking the dobson koolaide. quote chapter and verse where christ even mentions it as himself in human form. methinks thou dost protest too much. hey i have a good scriptural reference for you: exodus

  • Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders 10nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 1 This is from the bible The word of GOD.. Jesus is GOD!

  • no doubt jesus is god, and jesus is god's word; as for all the rest? hearsay.

  • but you just said Jesus never said anything about homosexuality, but then you admitted Jesus is God, so Jesus did indeed speak on Homosexuality if Jesus is God and the Bible is the breathe and word of God... Then Jesu who is God who did authur the Bible spoke on Homosexuality as immoral!

  • I am not sure why you are making so many posts on this topic. Interesting. Very interesting.

  • Comment removed

  • Dr. Dobson is an angry, bitter man. I used to like him, before he became very political. Look at his face. His face shows a lot of anger. I hear it in many of his broadcasts. While I have questions about his ethics, I feel his is to be pitied. By conservative Christian standards, if you have "excepted Jesus", as you say you have "excepted Jesus" you will be in hell. Excepted is not the same as accepted. :-)

  • you are very right.. my mistake.. but you have not answered my question. What about you? Can I pray with you or for you?

  • I am a Christian. You need to pray for Dobson - that he will start being a decent person and a good witness for God.

  • Really... no, I mean yes I need to pray for him, obviously Satans army like to attack him, but He represents quite well. Seem like people like to misquote him as much as they like to say he mis quotes others.

  • he tells people to beat their children and brags about beating up little animals. I know it is hard for you to understand but there is a difference between a Christian and an Evil-gelical who is obsessed with Pre-Maritayaaaal sex, Israiyel, and miiiy riiite to spank miiyyy yungins.

  • James Dobson thinks he is serving God when he is really serving Satan.  He certainly needs your prayers.

  • I listen to him quite often, and he touches on the subject once in a while, but no more than any other Media outlet. He is a Conservative and we must stand up for what is right. Part of being in this great Republic of ours.

  • And you never heard him brag about beating up that little dog???

  • James Dobson is a very evil human being. Read the strong willed child where he brags about beating up a little animal. By the way, this piece of trash is still making money on his Ted Bundy interview.

  • That is one book I have not read. Many years ago, I read Dare to Discipline. I do not recall any specifics about that book. In most cases, physical discipline is used when parents or dog owners are angry. That is not a good time to discipline (teach). Many forms of teaching animals do not use physical punishment.

  • Jesus never said any such thing, dumbass

  • If Dobson were given an faecal enema he would shrink to the size of a cat.

  • I hope Focus on the Family and all its members get the most horrible case of the shits ever recorded.

  • I used to read his books and thought very highly of him. Today I feel let down.

  • he is retiring..That is ll.. ooohhh the TYT whoever they are think they had anything to do with his leaving.. He is getting old.. it happens to everyone. Dr. Dobson is just retiring.. and God Bless him!

  • Lets pray that he doesn't beat up anymore little animals

  • I am glad that this animal abusing, child abuse promoting piece of trash is gone. I wish he would go away completely. Thanks Young Turks. Love the show!

  • Animal Abusing? If Disaplining your child is such a bad thing why does the Bible say " The father who does not disaplin hates his child"

  • Apparently you have not read "The Strong Willed Child" This miserable piece of trash beat his 12 pound dog with a belt for sleeping on the bathroom rug. Then he brags about it saying "It was not a fair fight because I was 200 lbs and he was 12 lbs." where is the outrage from people who claim to follow Jesus. Just imagine the outrage from these white trash if someone beat James Dobson with a belt and bragged about it.

  • So James Dobson did this? James Dobson beat the dog? The Strong willed Child is about raising Children.. not beating animals.. I do not know what you read, but I just read over it again and fail to see anything about a dog.

  • Sorry to say that you are either lying when you say that you read the book or you do not want to admit this. Google "dog abuser" and "Dobson" and it will help you see where he brags about beating the little animal with a belt. He is a filthy piece of garbage.

  • Discipline isnt bad. but abuse is. Not even the same thing.

  • ur stupid!

  • Good riddance to this bigoted fuck.

  • Democratic socialism might not be exactly correct. They're government really isn't all that dissimilar to the U.S., they have a capitalist market, they have elected representatives at all levels of government, and the people own property. The main difference is that they have more taxes, and those taxes fund social programs. They have things like national healthcare, maternity leave, unemployment, safety-nets in other words.

  • The issue is a little more complex than that. Recent studies regarding crime rates in nations with diverse religious cross-sections would seem to indicate that the more religiously fervent the population, the greater the crime rates. Conversely, the greater the atheist population, the lower the crime rates were. The problem with the study is that religious states trend towards the totalitarian end of the spectrum, while largely atheist populations trend towards democratic socialism.

  • cont... Furthermore, it wasn't disclosed whether or not the results were obtained by looking for actions that are considered crimes in common between these populations. In other words, the more things that are legal, the lower the crime rate. Interestingly, Sweden which is supposedly the most atheist/agnostic nation in the world (87% of those surveyed according to a Pitzer College study), it is the most democratic nation in the world according to the Democracy Index (The Economist) .

  • We do not live in a Democracy! We live in a Republic! Get your facts straight.. I do not want to live in a Democracy! Thanks for playing!

  • I was going to respond to you with a carefully worded and respectful argument where I stated that yes we live in a democracy, a representative democracy that because of it's unofficial dual-party system and the influence of funding from private interests, operates more like a dual oligarchy. Instead, I've read the rest of replies here, and I feel I can't ignore the thread of stark raving lunacy being spun from your mouth. It's unfortunate that the mentaly ill often seem drawn to religion.

  • Ahh.. so you decide to attach me personally.. I see. Well okay then just recite the pledge of aligence. The one for the free U.S. the one that says "and to the decomocracy for which it stands" oh wait.. it doesn't ..does it? It says "and to the republic for which it stands"

  • I think you're forgetting about philosophy. Many of the moral concepts that humanity leans on whose origins are claimed by religion, are actually the product of philosophy. If you ask me, religion being abandoned just means one less tool that the opulent and powerful have to manipulate and control the masses. Hopefully one day a majority of the population will be empowered and informed about the world around them, instead of the current trend where we are misled by politicians and religion.

  • This guy says that Dobson wants to "take away rights from Gay people." That is not true. Liberals are people that want to change things. What they want to change is the status of marriage with respect to Gays. It is obvious that Gays didn't have the option to get married in the past in America. So nothing is "taken away". It is a matter of whether things should be kept as they are or to change them. This turkey guy should stop lying and just present his agenda accurately.

  • "That is not true."

    No, I'm pretty sure it is. Marriage is a right, and prop 8 took that away.

  • The will of the people of California decided it was not.

  • They never should have been given the opportunity to vote on it. You can't have a question of civil rights put up to a vote, otherwise we'd probably still have slavery.

  • Blacks are offended by your remark. You trivialize slavery as something equal to a sexual fetish. I am stunned you cant see your racist remark.

  • Any black person with a brain would know there isn't anything offensive about what I just said. Homosexuality is not a "fetish"; it's what comes most naturally to millions of people.

    Since it doesn't hurt anyone, the State has no right to ban it.

  • Dobson is a world-class homophobe. Dobson's stand against hate crimes protection for gays makes him an ally to those who beat up and murder gays. He has been accused of twisting scientific research to make it sound like the scientists were saying things they did not say. That is a very serious charge. I don't know if it is true, but if it is, he is guilty of lies.

  • Homos have the same rights as non-homos. Name me one right or law that doesn't apply equally to both.

  • Now we know where you stand. You are a true homophobe. Had you used less bigoted, hate-ridden terms you might have come across as a person who was reasonable. You've damaged your reputation here with your posts.

  • What problem do you have? The word, homo, is not hate. It is an endearing word of affection. You'd probably think I hate blacks if I called them Negros. You are way too sensitive.

    But you still didn't answer my question. Because you know that no rights or laws have been violated.

    The fact that men can't marry men applies to both. I can't marry a man even if I wanted. So you dodge the question.

  • You need to show respect. This far, you have not done that. The word homo is widely considered to be an insult. The word homo is almost as offensive to the queer community as the word niger is to the Black community. When you talk like a bigot and a homophobe, you will not be responded to with respect. Are you interested in intelligent dialogue or just insulting people? When you start acting like a decent person, not like a pig, I will respond to your questions.

  • The young boy eagerly unbuttoned Britneys blouse and dove into her perfume scented boobs. As he sucked her pink nipples she reached down and began to stroke his hardening penis through his unzipped pants.

    Suddenly with knees buckling the young boy moaned with ecstasy as he laced her hand with strings of his sticky sperm.

    Collapsing to the floor the young boy wept with guilt, joy and wonderment as he thought about his mother who sheltered him for so many years from carnal knowledge.

  • I am not sure I understand why you posted a story about sex in response to my comments. Your posts continue to damage the very positions you are trying to promote.

  • Homo means "the same" You guys are laughable!

  • Comment removed

  • Marriage!

  • Really? Name the lies.. I mean you said he is a liar... What has he lied about since you know so much?

  • Google the following "The Distortions of James Dobson" and you will find an article on the Truth Wins Out web site about James Dobson distorting research reports.

  • oh yeah i forgot.. you can believe everything you read on the internet... PLEASE! Gary, I think you need to do your homework son!

  • I've seen videos where social scientists have told Dobson they do not want him ever citing them again, because he has misused and twisted their studies to say things the studies did not say. When people go on camera to make those comments, there is a serious problem. Dobson's professional ethics have been called into question. As far as I know, he has not launched a saw suit for defamation, so I suspect there is some truth to their concerns.

  • James Dobson is scum. He is loathsome. I can't think of enough negative things to say about him.

  • The only one worse than that son of a bitch Dobson is the creep and horror Fred Phelps.

  • I was thinking that the speech was just more persecution-complex posturing. Good to hear that the organization is genuinely suffering. As for Dobson himself, hopefully he'll have the good grace to die of AIDS or something soon. America needs him less now than ever and he certainly deserves to suffer on his way out. Anyone who works so hard to deprive others of their basic rights deserves the worst fate imaginable.

  • TYT Army, is it time to ride? Gahahahaha!

  • So what did you 'young turks' have to do with him stepping down?

  • Dosvedonya to this racist fuck. He won't be missed. He oughta focus on his own goddamned family.

  • Yeah, I remember crap like that too. The Little Mermaid movie was boycotted for being about magic. (There's an evil undersea witch, you know.) And don't even get me started about the evils of modern music. I feel for you... I think there should be some kind of recovery group for people that survive being raised with Dobson's edicts.

  • Totally agree with you. I was raised on Dobson and Adventures in Oddesy. It is so stupid that I had to deal with guilt for wanting to watch Star Wars and Star Trek.

  • It's more than just television and movies too. Like the idea that parents should keep a spanking paddle, so that when you hit your kids they won't fear you, they'll supposedly fear the paddle instead.

  • Well said faething & blackmetal. Dobson is a sick creep. Faething said it best - there should be a recovery group for people raised by Dobson's methods. Shame on Dobson & his fellow scum at Focus on the Family.

  • Ugh... James Dobson, puke!! My mother used to subscribe to his magazine and listened to his radio show. She used all his parenting tactics. I'm one of four children no longer on speaking terms with her, and I partly blame Dr. Dobson. His crap ruined our whole family.

  • As an Born-again Christian and an ex-republican, to me it makes more sense to be a Democrat than a Republican

  • Focus on the Family isn't going to get any better just because Dobson's not the face.

  • One- Only 30 percent of inmates are black

    Two- Rappers are told what to sing by corperate CEO's, most of whom are WHITE

    Three- Not all rappers or rapists are black

    Four- If so many black children are getting STD's and are being raised by one parent, why don't you help them instead of making up disgusting lies about them

  • I dont have to help them...

  • Then why waste your time bad-mouthing them?
