He was founder of "Focus on the Family"
en.wikipedia.org
...and had a radio show (heard daily by more than 220 million people in 164 countries) where he preached pretty much the things that we hear today/previously from the conservative right/US Christians. Things like...
Here are a few things he's said or done...
"The natural sex appeal of girls serves as their primary source of bargaining power in the game of life.

This sexual aspect of the marital agreement can hardly be denied.
James Dobson, Dare to Discipline (1970)"
"In 2012, in a broadcast titled "A Nation Shaken by the Sandy Hook Tragedy", Dobson said that the mass shooting was a judgement by God because of American acceptance of gay marriage and legal abortion.
Similarly, Dobson said the 2019 El Paso shooting and mass shootings in general happen because "the LGBTQ movement is closing in on the God-inspired and established institution of the family."
