Focus on the Family gets stormy response to Web video
Posted: 01:00 PM ET
 
(CNN) — Last month, Colorado Springs-based Focus on the Family posted a video on its Web site calling on Christians to “pray for rain” to disrupt Barack Obama’s acceptance speech at the upcoming Democratic convention in nearby Denver. Weeks later, their efforts did result in a deluge – the flood of criticism and news coverage that accompanied their decision to take down the video.

Focus officials insist the video — narrated by the man in charge of Web operations for the group’s political wing — was intended as a joke, and not a request for any divinely-inspired weather patterns.

  These people make me ashamed to be a Christian sometimes. Praying for rain on Obama's speech--why don't people grow the hell up?

Have you ever seen the male leaders of this group interviewed?  They are all closet cocksuckers. in the vein of Ted Haggard.  This group should rename itself: Focus on Someone Else's Family.
