Bring out the tiny violin…Joe at Amplify received a letter from a desperate Focus On Your Family begging for cash:
“Right now we’re facing a serious budget shortfall that threatens our ability to reach out to parents, families and married couples who count on our help. Income is down nearly $6 million from what we expected and planned for this year.”
Oh my, why isn’t God looking out for the organization founded by Daddy D to save America from the evils of ho-mo-sexuality, fornication and reproductive rights?! Damn, are they not praying enough? Oh that’s right, they are so busy peeping into everyone’s business that they forgot to drop on their knees to ask for protection of “the God-ordained covenant between one man and one woman.”
The other problem is the FOTF’s donor base is now probably on the dole and eating Alpo because of the sh*tty shape Holy Dear Leader left the economy in when he took off in the helicopter to fly back to Texas and away from the mess he made.

Funny and Good News at the same time. . .“the sh*tty shape Holy Dear Leader left the economy in when he took off in the helicopter to fly back to Texas and away from the mess he made”
Now that made me laugh. Thanks Pam.
Maybe they should rename themselvesLike maybe “Focus on the Finances…”
Oh, I forgot, that is what they always do, silly me…
Aw…Maybe god is trying to tell them something.
Such as having a Focus On The Anus going out of business sale.
Just saying…

More news. They are laying off 200http://blog.christianitytoday….
Old article. Sorry. Opps
I have the rest of it…
Don’t forget the kiddie porn bill.
actually,they had people do yard sales this summer and send them the proceeds. no kidding.
hmm…perhaps its time for Daddy D’s mental…er…”religious” institutionto start dropping some radio stations…
We should gather a list of those coming up for license renewal…
Good griefAny idea how much they got from that?
no idea.it seems a kind of cute idea, until you consider this is their way of wringing pennies from people during the worst economic downturn in decades. Here’s their precious down-home how-could-they-be-haters-they-have-cool-junk?! promo video.
Oh there are justSo many things I could do with that rope.
That comes across as pretty desperate for money.

UHG!!!I really shouldn’t watch those things when I’m testing out a new medication.
If only….If only the National Organization for Marriage would suffer the same fate. I’m encouraged that Tim Horton’s pulled out of their event in RI.
We need more sponsors to drop their ass.
Income is down nearly $6 million from what we expected and planned for this year.
Schadenfreudeis a wonderful thing. :-)
The sky is falling…I don’t believe it for a second… For years Jim and Tammy Fay made the same appeal and it just went on and on, if it hadn’t been for the excessive greed they would still be around.
Scam artists to the end, all of them.
(Although by all appearances, by the end Tammy Faye “got it”, and so has her son.) Be that as it may, as I said before,
EVIL f*cktards going broke…….pityit’s not enough for them to go broke, as good as that is
it’s not enough for there bat sh*t crazy ideas are being blamed for Republican party becoming a permanent MINORITY Southern Regional white men’s Party.
it’s enough when both of the above happen…and WE LAUGH AT THEIR FAILURE!
I’ll just bet…they treated Rush Limbaugh to lunch, cigars and oxycontin again. Dammit, they gotta watch that kind of thing!
Gosh if only they hadn’t spent so much money on Proposition 8…..
6,000,000 short. I have to wonder If somehow the Obama administration and its continued faith based Bull Shit will come to the rescue of Focus on the Anus?
We all know how well Obama loves him some jesus and how god is in the mix. We know how he went vote shopping with Ric Warren taking the stage front and center at the inaugural.
Will FotA get some Obama Asmin cash? I wouldn’t put it past him.
They’re $6 million short…yet they still gave $31,000 to NOM’s anti-marriage campaign in Maine?
Nice to see where their priorities lie.
$6 million short is not a $6 million lossAt the end of 2007, FOTF reported a $1 million loss for that year on revenue of $145 million. They had $75 million in the bank, above and beyond annual revenue, so FOTF could last 75 years if it lost only $1 million per year.But the latest fund-raising letter does not say FOTF lost $6 mil thus far this year — just that they're $6 million below the wildly inflated public revenue number that they invented in order to scare donors into donating for still more deficit spending against gay couples and their families.I believe this is an extension of FOTF's name-it-and-claim-it prosperity theology: If you spend enough money on so-called faith, God will someday reward you and dig you out of debt.It never happened under Reaganomics, it didn't happen in the Bush economy, and it won't happen now. But FOTF still has enough savings to survive a long, long time.–Mike AirhartTruth Wins Out
Cry me a river, fundiesIt’s about time you got your comeuppance, even if it is a financial one instead of the righteous legal smackdown you deserve. I plan to watch with a grin on my face as you and your ilk fade into obscurity with the next generation.
Someone pass the popcorn.
