			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://minnesotaindependent.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/picture-17.png"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-13210" title="picture-17" src="http://minnesotaindependent.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/picture-17.png" alt="" width="290" height="167" /></a>On Nov. 8, Focus on the Family will be <a href="http://www.museum.tv/rhofsection.php?page=465" target="_blank">inducted</a> into the National Radio Hall of Fame, a move that has sparked outrage among gay and lesbian activists who denounce its founder, <a href="http://minnesotaindependent.com/?s=dobson">James Dobson</a>, for a &#8220;long record of extremism&#8221; and &#8220;bigotry, hatred, intolerance&#8221; toward LGBT people. <span id="more-13205"></span>A right-wing religious broadcaster, Dobson&#8217;s &#8220;Focus on the Family&#8221; radio show is broadcast on 3,000 stations nationwide.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://dumpdobson.com/" target="_blank">Dump Dobson</a> coalition has purchased a <a href="http://dumpdobson.com/news/14-oct-2008/img/tribune_ad_large.jpg" target="_blank">full-page ad</a> in the Chicago Tribune this Friday and will hold a <a href="http://www.truthwinsout.org/pressreleases/press-conference-announcing-dump-dobson-ad-campaign/" target="_blank">press conference</a> on Thursday. The ad quotes Dobson, who in 2004, claimed &#8220;homosexuals are not monogamous. They want to destroy the institution of marriage&#8221; and &#8220;destroy the earth.&#8221;</p>
<p>The group&#8217;s ad urges Hall of Fame CEO Bruce DuMont to rescind the honor or face a protest at the induction ceremony, which will take place in a Chicago hotel. On its website the Radio Hall of Fame addresses the controversy, writing that a &#8220;broadcaster’s political, social or religious views <a href="http://www.museum.tv/rhofsection.php?page=465" target="_blank">never are considered</a> when deciding to include or exclude a candidate.&#8221;</p>
