James Dobson resigns

AP is reporting that James Dobson has resigned as chairman of Focus on the Family.

His resignation comes only a couple of months after extensive layoffs at the conservative and anti-gay Christian group.

In a statement, Dobson said he was resigning in part to allow the next generation to prepare for "executive authority."

Perhaps Focus on the Family's declining influence in their home state of Colorado and in the nearby state of Wyoming also had something to do with Dobson's departure.

Whatever the reason for his resignation, Dobson's legacy is one of hatred, fear, and misinformation.
