His sin? He said, ""Evangelicals are identified politically more than theologically...We get associated with the far Christian right and marginalized...Sometimes in taking our stands we have allowed ourselves to be typecast and the effectiveness spiritually has been diminished...We do have a political orientation...but that should not be what we're known for." For that, people like Don Wildmon, Tim LaHaye, and James Dobson demanded his resignation. This was the last straw for me on Dobson. I've had it with him. See <a href="http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2002/004/20.37.html">Enough Bullying</a> from Christianity Today.

Basically, I "listened to the station", gave feedback, and got assaulted by management. Do these folks just listen to the programming, or do they involve themselves in such matters as what the station sponsors (my beef; the station sponsored an Amy Grant concert, and Amy needs to answer some questions before she should be promoted by "Christian media")?
