"Dobson did not hit me; my father did. But Dobson told him that he was right to hit me, that God gave him permission. That if he hit me, I would obey my parents and the Lord, and that everything would be all right because to strike a child is to love her."
And:
"Now that Dobson is dead, it is easier to see the scope of his legacy."

"A childhood like mine is a personal tragedy with political dimensions. Dobson served tyranny all his life, and over time, he sought to enshrine it in the highest seats of power. To him and his heirs, the American home is a laboratory; they inflict suffering in private to better reproduce it in public."

"There is arguably no path to Trump without Dobson, and it begins with the broadcaster’s commitment to violence and ideological rigidity."
