Focus On The Family Faces Massive Layoffs After Prop 8 Push

Colorado Independent:

Focus on the Family is poised to announce major layoffs to its Colorado Springs-based ministry and media empire today. The cutbacks come just weeks after the group pumped more than half a million dollars into the successful effort to pass a gay-marriage ban in California.

Critics are holding up the layoffs, which come just two months after the organization's last round of dismissals, as a sad commentary on the true priorities of ministry.

Karma is great, once again.

Isn't it ironic that Focus on the Family ran into financial trouble in 2005? That's right after the first term of Dubya, the compassionate conservative they helped put in the White House to advance their cause! God really DOES have a sense of humor!

[doug108]

It bodes well for the country.

[mick7191]

When do they start taxing these people? Enough.

[doug108]

I like me some schadenfreude.

[roshni]

Gee, people making a living out of spreading hate are going to lose their jobs......­........

[BabsfromKansas]

Merry Xmas!!!

[winnie47]

Shall we cry a tear for them? NOT!

[Chironomid]

Let's all sing a little song, shall we? Yay!! Here goes:

Down the drain, down the drain.. Get set for going down the drain!

I feel bad for the little folks working in their mail room and offices, though -- just folks who need to work somewhere, anywhere to make ends meet, and probably don't even believe half of their nonsense.

That guy is satan in sheep clothing and he is going to be judge real hard by GOD. Watch in the next couple months.

[namewithheld]

Maybe there are some openings at Planned Parenthood?

[BeefSupreme]

Too bad Focus on the Family didn't use all that money to feed the hungry, heal the sick and shelter the poor - you know, like real Christians are supposed to do.

[AnalyzeIT]

Thank you well said.

[ralph10]

Read from a post earlier that the 46 people they're laying off wasn't massive. Well, to update that they're laying off 206 people. Sorry!

[piquet]

who cares...th­is is like caring for people that were ripped off by Jim and Tammy Faye Baker.

...stupid does as stupid do

[wdw102]

"stupid does as stupid do" at least quote it correctly please

jim baker is dead right? who cares.....­..

[AngryCitizen]

ahh, inter course them!

[rhettisha]

I tried for the longest to think of something smart aleky to say, but I'm just too happy and too full of joy at the thought of all those hateful people stuck in a new blue state, jobless and full of bile. I just love it. I mean I just really love it.

[Lionsden]

What hateful people?

[rhettisha]

The people who were laid off at focus.

Oh, I get it, "people." Are you using people with air quotation marks when you say it?

[ralph10]

Something tells me a poster was waiting for a moment to jump in and found it.

[roshni]

I agree - I usually really feel for people who have lost their jobs but not these people.

[canobserv]

hahahhahah­ahahahahah­......deep breath....­.hahahahah­ahahahahah­ahahahah

[sammdphd]

lol

[RobHughey]

LOL

You rock.

[ChaiKat]

The term reap what you sew comes to mind. Did I spell that right?

[Lionsden]

Actually, it is "sow", as in planting a seed.

So, everyone who loses their job deserves it?

Or just Christians?

[winnie47]

Not Christians. Just hatemongers.

[ralph10]

And you would have this much sympathy if say people at Playboy Magazine got laid off?

[doug108]

The minions of a bigoted f*ck deserve it.

[aznurse]

how about "rip what you sew?"
