When James Dobson Leaves Focus on the Family, Where Will He Take His Hate?

Focus on the Family’s James Dobson — who in May claimed he was giving up his battle against gay civil rights because “there is nothing you can do at this time about what is taking place because there is simply no limit to what the left can do at this time … we can’t stop them” — will end his 32-year reign at the organization at the end of February amidst FOTF’s continuing fiscal problems. Having already stepped down as chairman, Dobson, 73, will relinquish his hate-spewing radio show. It does not, however, mean the bigot is leaving the scene entirely; he’s expected to continue preaching hate and divisiveness via other channels that, as the org’s chairman intimates Jim Daly, are not as confrontational as the “new” FOTF.
