Dr. James Dobson's more than 30 years of broadcasting have been honored with induction to the National Radio Hall of Fame. The 2008 Class was the first selected through national online voting, and the "Focus on the Family" broadcast is the first religious program to receive such an honor.

Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

I don't always agree with him politically, but I love most of his books. Good for him.

Its so funny that in recent years Dobson has become known for his political statements. The vast majority of his work is on family and moral issues. His show is often informative, funny, and very positive. When most of what is on Christian radio is preaching, it is a nice change of pace. Of course, I haven't listened that much in quite a few years, but I do know that the whole Focus on the Family organization does a lot of good. His show could be considered an Oprah for Christians.
