Dr. James Dobson, founder and chairman of Colorado-based Focus on the Family, has been nominated by Chicago's Museum of Broadcast Communications as a 2008 inductee into its Radio Hall of Fame. Dobson, also founder of the Family Research Council, produces a daily radio show, which is broadcast on over 7,000 radio stations worldwide, along with about sixty American television stations.

If inducted, Dobson would join figures such as talk host Rush Limbaugh, syndicated Top 40 DJ and "Disco Duck" auteur Rick Dees, stage and radio actor Orson Welles, and comedy duo Abbott and Costello.

2. You know, I don't care how many of these nutcases they put into the Radio Hall of Fame. I'd never

step foot in their 'museum' because of their 'honorees'.

3. Did they induct Father Coughlin as well?

Father Charles Edward Coughlin (October 25, 1891 – October 27, 1979) was a Canadian-born Roman Catholic priest at Royal Oak, Michigan's National Shrine of the Little Flower Church. He was one of the first political leaders to use radio to reach a mass audience, as more than forty million tuned to his weekly broadcasts during the 1930s. This radio program included commentary about Jews that was widely regarded as antisemitism, as well as rationalizations of some of the policies of Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini that many people found objectionable. The broadcasts have been called "a variation of the Fascist agenda applied to American culture".

6. Fuck 'em. Let them do it. It's such a lame-ass Hall anyway

Any Radio Hall of Fame that inducts Pigboy in year two, Wolfman Jack in year five and Paul Harvey in year ten deserves James Dobson.

7. Let's back Dobson and enter our own nominees.

Tokyo Rose, George Lincoln Rockwell, Joe McCarthy. I'm sure we can find people who truly deserve to be enshrined in that Hall. :evilgrin:

8. That hatemonger belongs in only one Hall of Fame, The ASSHOLE Hall of Fame.
