Dobson might want to re-read the sermon on the mount once in a while! Oh wait, didn’t he take credit for that already?

Forgive me if I’m wrong (although I’m not) but no one said anything about shutting down his radio show and discontinuing his 1st amendment rights… We simply have stated that it discredits the award givers for supporting such hate.

He’s protected by 1st amendment rights. If you don’t like/agree with him, change the channel…

Just as an FYI – Dobson’s co-nominee is Dr. Laura Schlessinger. Perhaps the Museum knows exactly what they’re doing and IS promoting an agenda of hate.

Sic ‘em.

I agree that this is somewhat of a non-issue, radio-what-award..

Dwelling on it though, this man became famous by throwing around hatred for people that he claims are evil and yet these same people are now more or less proven to have been created that way by his holy/perfect creator. Sounds similar to the men saying black people are the devil.

Giving this man an award showing radio accomplishment would be like giving Hitler an award for the scientific accomplishments he made at the expense his brutal exeriments during the Holocaust. Yes he transformed radio, but at what cost. Does humanity really want to condone this man? I would hope not.

As a g/l/b/t group, I think we should always speak up and protest, but losing this ‘battle’ is not an issue. I support Queerty for bringing it to our attention, i encourage folks to vote and alert friends and co-workers about this bullsh*t, but move on.
Time and the growing youth of America are on our side. Thanks for keeping us alert Queerty.

The once King of England, the Duke of Windsor, vacationed with his buddy Hitler. you can’t stop water from seeking it’s own level.

Obviously, the K’s have it – I’m with Kree and KJ. This is an award no one knows or cares about. The MOBC is trying to garner publicity by giving an award to a name that draws controversy. This award is so precious and meaningful, that anyone can register to vote for the winner – even you. If you like, you can register to vote here:

Vote for someone other than Dobson.

Radio Hall of Fame is an award I never heard of, so if they likee Daddy Dobson it’s no skin off my a$$, I agree with kree….non event.
It’s not like he won Design Star or something equally prestigious.

If we get our panties all in a twist about an award that nobody has heard of, everybody will hear about it and Dobson will use the reaction to garner contributions from his listeners as he plays the victim to godless homosexuals.

Ignore it, and let it go away.

If a stupid-ass can be awarded the Presidency of the US twice, why shouldn’t another stupid-ass get a radio hall of fame award? At least once…

Not so much their personal beliefs but the ideology they promote through public airways.
Which in Dobson’s case is a hate filled one.

But bah! who listens to the radio anymore?
People over 60, its becoming a more irrelevant medium of entertainment and information with each passing year

Sorry to answer your question with another question…but when you say personal beliefs, do you mean the beliefs that the individual holds dear and practices in their daily life (good or bad), or do you mean the beliefs that the individual tries to force on others through fear-mongering, misrepresentation, and slander?

I must say reluctantly that if the Museum is to remain completely non-biased, the answer is no in either case. There are only so few people who are on the air for two decades, and almost all of them are ideologues like Dobson. That being the case, if the Museum chooses to narrow the field by ruling out those who are political, they won’t be left with many to pick from…and if they pick and choose whose politics they like, then it is a political award, not one for broadcasting at large.

In the end, the only people who will be impressed by this are his slathering audience, who would already kiss his fundament and call it ice cream. Foreverafter, the Radio hall of Fame will be nothing more than an endurance award to me (make it this long, no matter how wretched you are, and we’ll give you this here trophy!)…but this is the first time I’ve even heard of it, so I really couldn’t care much less anyways…
