James Dobson’s Focus on the Family has apparently sent
out an email giving its members Michael Moore’s home address. I think this is a terrible move, simply on principle. There are other addresses to send Moore mail. Why legitimate this sort of thing?
But, I should add, Michael Moore has zero-point-zero grounds to complain. After all, he did set up a webcam aimed at my parents’ bedroom during the Clinton troubles and promoted it in on television, in an effort to show the whole world where my mom lived and invade her privacy. (My mom turned things around and sold ad space in the window to the National Inquirer) If I recall correctly I appeared on some show with him in which he proceeded to make an idiot out of himself on some nonsensical constitutional point. Also, if I recall correctly, any number of liberals and journalists thought Moore’s stunt was hilarious. So let’s not hear too much piousness about Dobson & Co. from that quarter either.
Still, I think it’s just wrong to divulge home addresses for the puprose of harassing public figures.
