Playboy in Braille

Rick Perlstein's picture

That, at this do or die moment of peril for our economy, is what the religious right would prefer to focus on. From a Focus on the Family email soliciting volunteers to call senators to oppose the nomination of David Ogden for deputy attorney general:

Pornography and Obscenity: Ogden has extensively represented Playboy, Penthouse and other pornography businesses on numerous occasions and even argued to force the government to use tax dollars to publish portions of Playboy in Braille at the Library of Congress.

This is really, really, important, says Dr. Dobson:

Again, I am asking every Focus Action team member to call their two senators and strongly oppose the nominations of Ogden, Johnsen and Perrelli. This is absolutely crucial. Despite all his talk of “change,” Obama is moving to politicize the government and staff the Justice Department with pro-abortion, pro-pornography, anti-family activists. Thank you so much for making your voice heard on behalf of life and family.

Take action to save the economy instead.
