Dobson's flaws notwithstanding, this is a huge get for Rand Paul.
He talked mostly about women's and moms' issues, playing to his primary audience. He did a lot of what I perceived as "man bashing". He must have taken some criticism about that, because he addressed it by.....having 4 women on who spent the show complaining about men. "Forget this" said I, and never looked back.
Dobson has never been one of my heroes either, but...
I guess you might expect that sort of thing from a pediatric psychologist. Besides, was it man-bashing, or just pointing out that a lot of kids problems stem from absentee fathers who deserve a good bashing?
But generally, Dobson's old show did kind of annoy me, just as the tone of most Christian talk radio annoys me. Too milquetoast, too comfortably middle-class. I swear one radio ad I heard was about a woman just distraught over the idea that her children might encounter other kids who don't share their family's values!!
