Dobson: Gay Marriage like the Slave Trade

For whatever reason, CNN.com is giving front-page promotion to James Dobson's gay-hating commentary.  That's a separate issue, I guess, about his legitimacy and CNN's desire to promote it.

Anyway, he rails against gays, gays getting married, people who want them to get married people who don't want to amned the constitution to stop them from getting married, and Senators who don't vote for such amendments.  Pretty standard stuff from someone like Dobson, using lots of pretty facts & figures.

But then here's the juicy part:

So where does the issue go from here? Time will tell. It took William Wilberforce more than 30 years to bring about an end to Britain's slave trade in the 1800s. Unfortunately, we do not have the luxury of a protracted victory.

Huh.  I never knew!  Dobson's fight against gays is like Britain's fight against the slave trade.  Only it has to be completed way more quickly.

See now, I must have been confused.  The slave trade involved exploiting humans based on the color of their skin and selling them as property between other humans...  Gay marriage involves homosexual couples to legally share the same bond enjoyed by heterosexual couples.

Maybe I'm missing something...

...or maybe James Dobson is just plain crazy, and his gay-hating diatribes shouldn't be linked on the homepage of CNN.com.

(I don't have much more to say on this, mostly because Dobson doesn't deserve any sort of rebuttal or response.  Just wanted to point out that he is, in fact, still crazy.)
