Dobson v Beck: Who Do You Root For Here?

By Ed Brayton

In a battle between James Dobson and Glenn Beck, and between right wing fundamentalists and right wing Mormons, who exactly am I supposed to root for? This post at Pam's House Blend tells the story of how Focus on the Family put up a video promoting Glenn Beck's new book - until some of their followers threw a fit about promoting a book by a Mormon and they took the video down.
