Anti-Gay Dobson To End Radio Career

[ccharles000]

Focus on the Family founder James Dobson will end his radio career at the end of February, the group announced Friday.

Last February, Dobson stepped down as chairman of the anti-gay group he founded in 1977 but remained the group's primary radio voice.

Jim Daly, president of Focus on the Family, called Dobson's rein at the Colorado-based group “remarkable.”

“The Bible tells us that to everything there is a season – and Dr. Dobson's season at Focus on the Family has been remarkable,” Daly said in a statement. “He has done a superlative job in modeling the graceful transition of leadership from one generation to the next.”

The announcement comes on the heels of several rounds of lay offs at the ministry and the summer announcement that it was exiting the “ex-gay” business. In an August letter to donors, Daly explained that the group is about $6 million in the red for the year, and had decided to sell off its Love Won Out conferences to Exodus International, whose motto is “Freedom from homosexuality though the power of Jesus Christ.” Focus said at the time it would continue to support the workshop financially.

2. Here's hoping the entire 'fix teh gay' movement falls on hard times

and that Dobson fades into obscurity and ignominity. May future generations never have the misfortune of having a public figure who is such a sanctimonious prick.

3. Good riddance

Hateful, abusive, sociopathic SOB.

4. The sun is setting on that brand of misguided crackpotism.

And soon comes to all and each the eternal embrace of Lord Jesus, Or maybe of somebody situated further south.
