Six Times Not Charming for Dobson

Six researchers in three countries in less than a year have come forward complaining that James Dobson is distorting their research in his references to it. Most recently, Dobson wrote a guest opinion in TIME Magazine about Mary Cheney's pregnancy and condemned same sex parenting. To support his view, he quoted two researchers, who immediately issued statements that he had distorted their research. The same week, an author and professor said she was "incensed" that he had misquoted her in another article. Three similar incidents have occurred in the past several months. Dobson's defense: the professors are "liberal" and "politically correct." I'm not sure how that explains either the lying on Dobson's part - six times, or his decision to hold up their work as reliable in the first place.
