Focus On The Family Compares Obama To Nazis
By Cernig Friday Nov 07, 2008 9:00amTwo days after Obama and the Democratic Party won a ringing 7 million refusal of rightwing fearmongering and hate, the extreme right are unrepentant and none the wiser. Smintheus at Unbossed writes:
This evening James Dobson's Focus on the Family Action sent out a fundraising email to members that likened the victories of Barack Obama and congressional Democrats in Tuesday's election to the Nazi bombing of England during World War II. The author of this vile letter is Tom Minnery, Senior Vice President of Focus on the Family Action. It was nearly inevitable that anger over losing the 2008 election would soon provoke right-wing extremists to violate Godwin's Law. Obama's victory in Colorado may have been particularly galling for the Colorado Springs based Focus on the Family, which has been heavily involved in the political campaign this year advocating for conservative issues. James Dobson personally endorsed the McCain-Palin ticket this fall.
Focus on the Family has not so far posted this hateful fundraising letter on the web. Here is the opening section of the letter:
Dear Friend,
The spirit of Winston Churchill was alive and well on Tuesday night at Focus on the Family Action headquarters.
You may recall that in the most desperate days of World War II – when Great Britain was being pounded daily by Hitler’s Luftwaffe – that Winston Churchill called on his countrymen not to despair from danger but to rise to the challenge.
It goes on in exactly the same vein, saying that:
Our nation has never faced the kind of anti-family, pro-abortion assault that we’re likely to see in the coming weeks and months. We don’t have to guess what the Left will do now that they control Congress and the White House; they’ve told us.
What are FoF so upset about? Freedom of choice, freedom of marriage and legislation to combat discrimination against gays in the workplace. The last, according to FoF, will be an assault on FoF members' religious freedom. Nice of them to state so clearly that theirs is a path of bigotry.
Obama has their number.
Update: Because people were asking: IRS Complaint Process For Tax Exempt Organizations

I hear this just about every week at church.
why do you go and listen?
Look for a new church.
If my church mixed religion and politics, I'd find a new church.
To formally revoke "Focus on the Family's" tax-exemption status. And if they're afraid of losing their status, making comments like this about Obama is not the way to go, considering the IRS and the Justice Department will be under competent leadership that can order investigations and impose penalties for violations of all sorts of IRS and FEC laws.
Take away their tax expemption? Fine. But take the Rev. Jeremiah Wright's, too.
The political junkie above is the reason we have our constitution. Focus on the Family has every right to voice there opinion and be involved in the political process as any individual or other tax exempt entity does. You just dont agree with them, and thats why you want them silenced. (THE NAZIS WANTED THE SAME THING BY THE WAY) The constitution does not contain the phrase "separation of church and state", it does say the goverment shall have nothing to do with the affairs of the church, not the other way around. I do not agree with any of the extreem left wing non profits, but I would never want to take away there right to voice there opinion. THATS FREE SPEACH
That's funny because the Bush Family has actual ties to Nazi's. But I guess they don't want to deal with that.
And unlike our Christian President Ted Bundy, Obama hasn't murdered anyone.

I'm a no-nonsense woman. I take what's mine, and I expect what's coming to me. Sometimes I like to play mind games. My kids are wonderful, but they're a pain in the ass too. My husband recently left us, and we couldn't be happier. If you want to get with me you'd better be ready to take care of my needs. I have no time for you no-account fools.
That's very pro-family, isn't it. Not to mention all the other crap this unhinged woman sees as her positives.
wow it didn't take long long for the people of intolerance to be heard. they're part of the problem in this country.
And next week it will be Your Kids' Religion is In Big Trouble.
yesterday in Dallas it was The Middle East problem: They're Breeding like Rabbits. (see http://cabdrollery.blogspot.com/ )
white people play hide the sausage,
only they are not intelligent enough
to remember which hole to put it in.......
oral and anal do not end in conception, but
that's a christian value they believe in.
Thats probably the dumbest thing I have ever heard. YOU ARE A RACIST.
.
... Don't you mean, James Dobson's organization, Focus on Hate by FEAR!!!
.
Focus on the Fanatical (Right-Wing Fringe) Family?
Focus on the Foolishness
Out of Focus
or Focus Pocus
Ahhh, the righteous religious right, they never fail to live down to their standards. Obsessed with evil, killing, suffering and judgment, they just have to use combat, war, battle analogies to define their philosophy, because fear and hate live just below the surface with that ilk.
http://lasalettejourney.blogspot.com/search/l...
Same Message, Same Right fearmongering,
fof and ALL the reichwing evangelical groups are
nothing more than fucking political CULTS. they
should not have any tax-exemption status and should
be paying taxes for all the racism and bigotry
they incite in this country. fuck them for their hate.
Flood the IRS with complaints about these hypocrites. FoF isn't a religious organization. It's a PAC.
No tax exempt status for FoF. None. Nada.
YES BROTHER, LETS TAKE AWAY THERE RIGHT TO FREE SPEACH. IF THEY DONT AGREE WITH US LIBERALS THEY SHOULDN'T BE ALLOWED TO VOICE THERE OPINION. SOMEDAY US LIBERALS WILL PASS LAWS TO STOP PEOPLE WHO DISAGREE WITH US FROM SPEEKING, AND THEN WE'LL EMPLOY OUR POLICE TO FIND THOSE THAT QUESTION OUR POLITICAL VIEWS. KEEP THE FAITH-LETS DESTROY THERE'S.
... to remember the story of Elijah, who went into the wilderness in search of God. The wind blew around him, but God's voice was not to be heard. The rain fell, the thunder boomed, and the lightning flashed - still, God's voice was not to be heard.
And then, in the moment of quiet after the storm, came the faintest whisper ... and that was the voice of God.
So when the jackbooted Christofascists over at Focus on the Family rant and rave, it's clear to me they're neither talking FOR God, or OF God.
"Judge not, lest ye be judged."
Read the quote further - it means more when you add, "in the same measure."
It's not to address whether God will ultimately forgive any of us, but to keep us from sniping at each other and trying to claw our way to the front of the 'godly' line.
We will be ultimately judged in the same way we judge others.
Thank you for elaborating. Much appreciated.
I've found few people who actually know the entire quote. Dobson and his pack of thieves, bigots and racists are the masters of the partial quote. They pick and choose parts of the Scripture they claim to know so well to further their agenda. Despicable on any level.
always take quotes out of context for their own hate mongering. Or maybe they just don't know them!
amen amen
There is this great old cartoon where Daffy Duck is a traveling salesman desperately and determinedly trying to sell an escaped criminal something, anything, from his wares. In the end, the two of them manage to destroy the entire house, save a doorknob left in Daffy's hand as the entire structure explodes into splinters and Daffy yells something to the effect of,"I got him now, I got him now!! Hey, bub! YOU NEED A NEW HOUSE TO GO WITH THIS DOORKNOB!!!!"
Now, if the GOP were serious (though it appears that they have changed their mind) about making Palin the centerpiece of the future of the party, I could make a joke about Palin, doorknobs and everyone having a turn, but I am a gentleman.
Hahahaha.....Republicans.
Don't EVER press the red button!
wtf do they mean anti-family?? If ever there was a model nuclear family it's the Obamas. And I am so tired of hearing we are pro-abortion. This is hold-over crap from the early days of Feminism when they feared for the family if women ran out and got jobs and *gasp* had sex! Jumpin' Jeehosaphat, Mabel!! It all started downhill when we let you little ladies vote!
Isn't fof the one's that organize all of the protests against TV shows? Like the "wardrobe malfunction" hysteria? Some people need to get real jobs. Hell, I'm recently unemployed, maybe I should start a religion.
Go for it!!
The more they talk about right-wing religious issues, the more they can kiss Moderates and Independants good-bye. Watching the Religious Right finally crumble is quite amusing. Am I a sinner for thinking that way?
Is that the GOP still begs for their endorsement
The
Focus on the FamilyFear of Freedom crowd are especially bitter this time around. After all, one of their own was on the losing ticket. Not just someone ostensibly on their side or someone willing to pander to them. In Sarah Palin, they had the genuine article.The evil Dobson, one of the agents of intolerance to whom John McCain so quickly sold his soul, was highly influential in the ill-fated Palin pick. I'm sure he was beginning to taste the theocracy.
Remember that, everyone! Remember how close they came! And look at how many tens of millions of people voted for McCain, a large fraction of which were hoping he would die during his term.
Know Knothing Knation is huge. It will not go away. It won many battles Tuesday night against gay people. It will always seek power here. Never forget it.
They will try to regroup and regain their lost power and influence. It isn't over yet.
You'll know they are still in power by every anti-intellectual candidate that is on the Republican ticket.
We all know they'll go for it.
They can't help themselves.
They really think God speaks to them, through them.
God tells me differently.
Anyway, I'm ready. Hell, I'll work overtime to fund
any candidate running against one they support.
and saw that Obama got elected. There goes their meme that our leaders are selected by God. Dobson wants to serve God, but only in an advisory capacity. Keep your eyes on these idiots. They mean business.
Arnold Schwarzenegger also has ties to the Nazi's. Sorry but that's the truth. Uncomfortable as it may be.
It is his vitriolic speech's that have destroyed the Republican Party. Dobson, Hagee, Falwell, Robertson .... They all deserve credit for breaking down the Republican Party,
Christian movement with a vengeance. They pandered to them for 30 years. Abortion, abortion, abortion.....that was the mantra. And now, like the camel who only wanted to put his head in the tent to get out of the desert sun, they now own the tent.
The Republican Party can have these people, but they won't have much else until you watch a GOP convention on TV without seeing 60% old white guys, 20% old white women, and 38 black people, a hundred Cubans, and a few assorted token others. Dobson and these very scary, but presntly pretty toothless people are all they have left. It's going to take more than a few months to fix the major problem with this party....not diversity. You can't build that overnight. They've got a real problem, and deserve every facet of it.
We need to encourage these wingnuts to continue their racist, misogynistic, homophobic behavior. It's tearing the Republican party in two. Nothing progressives or liberals could do could be more damaging to the G.O.P.
So don't be a hater; be a hater player.
I agree. Let their hate flow like wine.
Fear of losing the power they once held over their sheep. At least some of their sheep could smell the bullsh** and voted for Obama. Their people are suffering through this financial crisis and all they can do is yell and scream about abortion.
Fear of losing their Faith-based Initiatives.
Fear of losing Abstinence only education (in addition to the things listed above).
These people are about as far from the teachings of Christ as one can imagine.
these people are pissed. they can't handle the fact that obama will NOT participate in this division. that's
what they want. they were behind BUSH and wanted Palin. they want to rule people like BUSH did/does. they don't have an appreciation for being/letting people being governed. sometimes i wonder about
what seems to be a slight obsession with the Nazi Movement/Philosophy. these people live by the theme
your either with us or against us. they get off on hating people NOT like them. it doesn't take much contrarian thought to see these people are JUDGEMENTAL and HYPOCRITES. some live ina futile cycle
of passing judgement/intolerance then ask to be forgiven. i'm tired of their insignificant nonsense.
They are what they preach. Look how close we came to a totalitarian regime under Bush-Cheney. The similarities were astounding.
the religious right was dramatically folding at the end of the Clinton administration. For at least 25 years prior to that time, they'd been politically working for and dreaming about the day when America would become a theocracy. It was a carefully-planned strategy, beginning with religious rightwingers getting elected to school boards to affect what was taught in the schools. Then came the rest, including entry into big-time mainstream politics.
But if they were really folding and getting resigned to returning to their marginal status, what happened?
GW Bush happened. He, with his messianic hubris and his faith-based programs, energized the religious right as nothing had since the beginning of the movement.
Let us work to marginalize the radical religious right in the next few decades. Religion is a private matter, not meant in America to be a political platform. We should be able to de-fang the "religious" serpents of hell in the next eight years. America needs to return to Constitutional values, not religious values.
to simply become POLITICAL PARTIES. Would help solve the problem of the complainers to the two-party system. Plus, since hatred is their specialty, they should be used to battles.
Attacking your fellow Christians is not going to be fruitful especially if Obama manages to make some headway on the economy and with the wars. Thankfully, Obama knows enough about these nutjobs to speak up against them and refute their extreme positions. As their followers worry more and more about whether or not they can feed their families, their power will become diminished.
folks.
the color green. The color of money.
I've found nothing to be more hateful and rabid and so-called 'Christians' turning on their own when they feel they are 'misguided'.
I can't understand why a group who is so vocal against abortion can be fine with capital punishment and an illegal war that has killed thousands of innocent Iraqi children. As with most other things they do, it just doesn't make any kind of logical sense.
about FoF. Take away their tax exempt status.
I think the more powerful approach would be to file complaints with the IRS and send copies to the ACLU.
How do I file a complaint?
See the post update for the link where you can download a PDF of the complaint form, and the address/email to send it to.
Regards, C
let these faux-religious bigoted zealots cry about whatever they want to cry about. I say we just ignore them and marginalize them. A vast majority of Americans have woken up and realize that people like Dobson are not Christian leaders but rather EXTREMIST leaders, and as such they should be ignored and laughed at when appropriate.
Their followers are such sorry sorry people, i feel so badly for any children that are swept up in the cult-like mentality of these zealots...
CommonSense:
Ignoring them will strengthen them. They are highly organized. They are so deadly serious about what they want, and if we are not constantly paying attention, they're moves will gobsmack us.
I'm not saying we need to treat them as legitimate players. Just that we need to pay attention, and warn people about them. We ignore them at our peril.
A vast majority? I don't think so. Know Knothing Knation represents an extremely large portion of this country. And while Obama's victory was cathartic, it wasn't that large in terms of the popular vote. Make no mistake, millions were voting purely against McCain, and tens of millions were voting for Sarah Palin.
Indeed, it is because of the mind-control this giant cult has over its followers that we cannot ignore them. There is no talking with them. There is no reasoning with them. And they will regroup.
Eternal vigilance is imperative.
In good X'n family fashion, James and his friends just need a good spanking. These children will grow up to be hellyuns if they're not given stern guidance.
That FoF are the kind of un-american scumbags that won't support their president during a time of war.
Hahahahaha!
Time to wake up, Obahhhhhma sheeple.
Obama is playing you, betraying you already with his first appointment, Rhal Emanuel, who wants to restrict free speech with bills like the Homeland Terrorist Act, is considered Israel's man in Washington according to Israeli newspapers and who is as bloodthirsty and as much a warmonger as Bush ever was. He also wants a one million strong Homeland Security Force, as does Obama, along the lines of Fascist Italy prior to World War 2.
And Obama was supposed to bring us together, but Mr. Emanuel is about as hardcore democrat as you can get. Which is good. He'll likey offend conservative democrats which will lead to divided government. Just like Jimmy Carter.
A Rolling Stone profile of Emanuel had this to say:
"There's the story of how, the night after Clinton was elected, Emanuel was so angry at the president's enemies that he stood up at a celebratory dinner with colleagues from the campaign, grabbed a steak knife and began rattling off a list of betrayers, shouting 'Dead! . . . Dead! . . . Dead!' and plunging the knife into the table after every name. 'When he was done, the table looked like a lunar landscape,' one campaign veteran recalls. 'It was like something out of The Godfather.'"
I know many of you wanted change, but you may regret the change that unfolds. As Joe Biden stated, prior to the election, Obama's popularity will plummet as he implements "sound but unpopular" economic policies -- can you say massive austerity measures and no tax breaks -- and the US is drawn into a "contrived crisis" where the US moral position is questionable -- can you say war on Iran or Pakistan?
And, oh ya, the trillions to Wall Street banks will continue, and you will be given the tax bill. And your children, and grandchildren.
The elite are back into power, just under a different brand. That is why America is failing today, there is no real choice in elections. And I am actually pleased Obama was elected: once he is shown to be the Wall Street Toady he always has been, people are going to have to look more seriously at what is going on. Both "major" parties are wings of the same party, the war party, and you democrat supporters just handed the war party the keys to the White House again. He even voted for the FISA provisions -- when he said he would fillibuster -- and was instrumental in getting the Banker Bailout bill passed, and not one of you even bleated once. You are right ready to be completely sheared.
Enjoy the glow of getting your
dictatorpresidential candidate into the White House, but I will be here to hold you accountable for what unfolds.You would be happier with Moose-Girl and the Artful Codger?
I would be happier if it was becoming clearer to the Powers That Be that they can't play people off each other all the time so that they can place their puppet in power -- Democrat or Republican -- and run with that dead horse until eight years are up and they can switch another dead horse.
Today, the Powers That Be must be very pleased that not only did they get their puppet in power -- albiet with only 52% of the vote, hardly a majority considering Obama spent 4 times the money McCain did -- but they have a loyal core of useful idiots supporting him -- including all of the mainstream media, I might add -- prepared to give him a long honeymoon before they wake up to how much he has betrayed them.
The whole political system in the US needs deep reformation and cleansing of corruption, and that sure isn't going to happen with Obama.
There are the top two republican talking points I was waiting for from you.
1. Obama spent more money so, of course, he won.
2. The mainstream media supported him so, of course, he won.
Yeah, maple syrup, you're from Canada.
A) I never said that because he spent more money he won, only that he spent four times what McCain did and still only wound up with 52% of the vote, which is hardly an overwhelming mandate. BTW, I think McCain was there to lose, again the illusion of choice.
B) The mainstream media treats this guy like a messiah, which, if you study history, always preceeds a facist movement. The reconstruction of human beings and all that, the creation of the superman. You cannot deny that the media coverage of Obama has been nothing less than fawning.
If you wish to drop me into a category that allows you to negotiate life and simplify your decision making processes, so be it. I don't view it as an effective survival strategy. And it doesn't negate anything I have written so far.
I don't vote in your elections, because I am from Canada. But it sure is great reality TV. Sort of like "Are you smarter than a 5th Grader."
And this will be Obama's fault now.
*
People have been afraid of change throughout history, so we comfort you now in this time of fear for you. All of the greatest figures in history had detractors and enemies and Obama will be no different. Obama had so much more money to actually spend because America has opened he eyes to the fear mongering of the right and has embraced a fight for the greater good, thus flooding him with the means to get his message of good out to the public. You are so wrong about so much, but again, we offer our support in your time of idiocy. We welcome your uneasiness about Obama's fight for the betterment of America, it will help us see the many dimensions of ignorance and hate that is in front of us.
Ah, go suck a hockey puck!
If we discontinue to bankroll your fucking sport, WTF will you do then? I want no more shit from you, America jr.!
Oh, don't worry, you are about to get more shit thrown at you than you can imagine. And none of it will come from me.
But in fairness, I will look into all of your link-less claims.
Meanwhile, have a ball copying and pasting your diatribe into every "lib" blog you can find.
You had a whole election to do your research, I won't hold my breath.
And don't feel so bad, tyrannical facist governments are a phenomenon throughout the Western World. But they couldn't pull this crap if people showed a little more critical thinking skills.
PS Calgary, Alberta, Canada, actually. Seeing as how after they collapse the economy down there they are going to roll us into a North American Union, figured I had an interest in how things turned out. It was a real lesson in how to create the illusion of choice with an election
fuck nader, fuck paul
fuck every unhappy shitdisturber in this country
move to fucking canada you filthy hippy
A typical Obama supporter: a vile little person with all the intellectual depth of a toilet. And a shining example of exactly what is wrong with America today
Maybe you should be more concerned with that leader of yours who clearly loves the taste of Dumbya's tiny dick.
Yup, a vile little person ....
And yes, I am concerned about Harper too. But the tyrrany will happen with a vengence down south first, already is actually, before it explodes up here. So believe it or not, my prayers are with America right now, because corrupt government aside, the American people are still a light on this planet. If America finally stands up and says enough, that might finally mean real change not just for America, but for the planet.
People have to wake up, though, to the fact that their country is being bankrupted and handed to international bankers. By the very people posing to be your saviors.
Well, we are certainly fortunate that we have a person with your insight, knowledge, maturity, and class to explain it all the the poor unfortunate, silly people who voted for Barack. I do think, however, that you might take another glance at some of the crowds that McCain/Palin drew before casting aspersions on Obama supporters. Some of them appeared to have been marrying their first cousins for several generations. That's never good for the gene pool.
Again, I never said McCain was any better, only that it is probably a good idea to hold your new
dictator'spresident elect's feet to the fire rather than give him six months honeymoon or we may be thinking the Bush administation was "the good old days."And if he does prove to be a Wall Street Toady, and he does continue -- as he did with FISA and the Bailout Banker's bill -- to betray his base, you all better start thinking outside of the box they are putting you in.
I'm fascinated by your accusation of name calling and then you type dictator and cross it out and add president and you're not name calling? You don't like Obama, you don't like McCain, your concern is odd.
No one here needs to explain to you why they voted for
whomever they voted. It's absolutely none of your business. And, you have an unusual emotional
investment in the outcome of this election for someone
who supposedly does not live here.
Please don't come here and act like you're some kind of
expert on what we are experiencing and that you have a
very clear future view of how Obama will act in office
and then get offended when people take offense to your clearly negative and one-sided view.
While you are welcome to provide your opinion and when done in a respectful and gracious manner you will likely
not get an FU, I for one, am very offended when you come
on to a site that caters to Democrats, call the man that
we supported a dictator and then get all pissy when
people call you out on it. And, make the blanket statement of all Obama supporters behaving that way.
None of us truly know how he will conduct himself.
You think you have a very clear idea of EXACTLY how his
term will flow and I happen to think you are wrong.
That does not make me stupid because I don't agree with
you and think that your assessment is inaccurate, that
means our opinions differ.
Perhaps in the future, you will be a little more accommodating when the people who actually live these things and have a very real investment in the situation are put off by your very strong words on something that,
in the end, you're clearly sitting in the stands observing.
Couldn't have said it better myself (even if I had the time).
Dave, keep coming by. I am sure your opinions will be interesting, despite my earlier snark about you not being Canadian (I am just so knee-jerk accustomed to righty trolls saying whatever they can to get attention). But keep acting the dick, leading with insults and pissing in our Cheerios without even so much as a 'good morning', then don't expect people to give much of hoot what you think.
Here's to all of us holding President-Elect Obama to his word, just as he has asked us to do.
p.s. boocilla69: my gentleman/lady hero of the day!
have a good day, all.
...lives in Alaska and got lost searching for that meth lab in the woods.
NO offense are you on the correct thread. while your at it, can you please share your strategy to address these issues you repetitively bring up. i have read your complaints/opinions. i'm curious about how you
would realistically resolve these issues.again realistically.
Bankrupt Wall Street by making derivatives and credit default swaps and other toxic financial instrument illegal.
Nationalize the Fed and loan money to anyone who has assets that produce wealth in the real economy as well as start building badly needed infrastructure projects throughout the US along the lines of the New Deal which was a Democratic President's program and got him elected 4 times.
Lower taxes initially for the first year at least to stimulate spending. Kennedy, another Democrat president, cut taxes by 50% when he was in power and the tax base exploded due to all the spending in the real economy.
Impeach Bush and Cheney -- today -- and jail anyone else implicated by their crimes (like Pelosi and Reid, amoungst others.) Roll back things like the Patriot Act, FISA and the John Warner Defence Act. And get back to respecting your constitution, which I have a great deal of respect for.
Stop the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq immediatly and begin bringing troops home from overseas. That will save you trillions.
Here is a few ideas for starters, none of which will see the light of day in an Obama presidency.
creepy statement, friend. If you can't see that you practically had a dictatorship for the past 8 years, you have your own world view that few share. Why do you think the world was dancing in the street Tuesday night? Because ding, dong, the warlock was dead. Bush is going away. That's the closest to a dictatorship that I've seen, and I've been around a long time. Your just sore that Mr. Hair on Fire In Any Emergency lost.
they dont care about abortion or gay marriage...they care about money
if obama really does continue some of bush's faith based practices, watch the money be funneled away from these megachurches to faith based orgs that truly do make a difference
that is what dobson is afraid of...the spigot closing
Abortion and gay rights are just issues to keep the pews and coffers full.
On Monday's radio show, Dobson featured a sermon by a man named Laurence White who said "God should destroy America", to which the audience applauded.
We need to archive all these things that Dobson supports and the people he features and run our own Jeremiah Wright ads in 2012 when Palin or Romney or whoever runs on the republican ticket, since the republican candidate will surely run to Colorado Springs to kiss the ring of Papa D.
More on Dobson's Monday show and Laurence White here
If any of you are serious about filing tax exempt status complaints with the IRS, please make sure to include the state taxing authority. For Dobson, this would be the Colorado State Tax Commission. Also, since churches pay no property taxes, a complaint should be filed with whatever County agency is responsible for property taxes in Colorado Springs.
Make sure you find out what IRS tax exempt code their ministry falls under through their website and site that code number in your complaint.
Good luck.
I'm seriously going to try. I will keep all records and copies for the ACLU.
According to their tax return, they are a California Corporation.
They also have Focus on the Family Action (page 17 of the tax return pdf file) which is a 501(c) 4 and is described in Statement 22 of the tax return.
Here is the link to all of their financial reports and tax returns:
http://www.focusonthefamily.com/about_us/fina...
I have bookmarked this for further study. These people can be beaten I believe in the pocketbook.
I hope you are right. I'm always amazed at what politics pass through these exempt organizations.
During the 04 campaign, an Episcopal minister posed a question as to which candidate better exemplefied the teachings of Jesus. He didn't state a preference, yet he was badgered for months by the IRS (via the Bush administration), which this blatant support and pressure to vote all things Republican goes unfettered.
If I were British I would be bloody damn offended by this comparison.
These people are certifiable...
I'm not sure they ever recovered from W. comparing himself to Sir Winston.
