When Dr. James Dobson and the "Focus on the Family" broadcast were voted into the National Radio Hall of Fame in July, no one could have guessed how gay activists would react.
They have launched not one, not two, but three campaigns to get Dr. Dobson kicked out of the Radio Hall of Fame. The latest attack — a full-page ad in the Chicago Tribune — accused Dr. Dobson of bigotry, intolerance and hatred. All this because Dr. Dobson takes a biblical view of sexuality.
In today's Chicago Tribune, two Salem radio stations — WYLL and WIND — are running a full-page ad of their own, to congratulate Dr. Dobson and Focus on the Family.
“It’s great that the people of Chicago will get to see, in these testimonials, people whose lives have been changed by the broadcast," said Gary Schneeberger, vice president of media and public relations at Focus on the Family. "It’s important the people of Chicago see that, and recognize that’s why Dr. Dobson is in the Radio Hall of Fame.”
Dr. Dobson's broadcast won the public vote in the “national active” category, beating out Bob Costas, Dr. Laura Schlessinger and Howard Stern. To qualify, a broadcaster must have contributed to the radio industry on a national level for at least 10 years. Dr. James Dobson has been helping families through his daily radio broadcast for more than three decades.
