DOBSON DUMPED By Organization He Founded
Dobson Dumped?
Josh Marshall | March 11, 2010, 12:31PM

James Dobson

Few evangelical figures have been bigger on the political scene in the last decade or fifteen years than James Dobson and his Focus on the Family empire.

But did he just get dumped by the organization he founded back in 1977? I hadn't heard anything about this. And few seem to want to speak openly about it. But it looks like that's what happened. And his radio show, which is where Dobson's fame and power began, has had to set up shop outside of the Focus media world. The new crew at FoF apparently believe Dobson's confrontational approach to the political world had become counterproductive.

1. Rpbertson had to withdraw from the 700 club so that it...
could avoid taxation. I suspect that this is the same reason Dobson has withdrawn. Gotta keep them feds away from the pulpit by any means whatsoever.
