James Dobson Resigns

Glitter Graphics





After reading, it really makes one wonder what evil asshat is waiting in the wings to take over:

James Dobson, who stepped down as president and CEO of the Colorado Springs-based anti-gay group Focus on the Family six years ago, has resigned as chairman, the AP reports:

"Dobson notified the board of his decision Wednesday, and the 950 employees of the Colorado Springs, Colo.-based ministry were informed Friday morning at a monthly worship service, said Jim Daly, the group's president and chief executive officer. Dobson, 72, will continue to host Focus on the Family's flagship radio program, write a monthly newsletter and speak out on moral issues, Daly said. Dobson's resignation as board chairman 'lessens his administrative burden' and is the latest step in a succession plan, the group said."

Said Dobson: "One of the common errors of founder-presidents is to hold to the reins of leadership too long, thereby preventing the next generation from being prepared for executive authority, though letting go is difficult after three decades of intensive labor, it is the wise thing to do."

GLAAD President Neil Giuliano released a statement in response to the news: "For more than 20 years, James Dobson has used his expansive, well-funded media platform to promote defamatory and false information about the lives of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people. As Dobson resigns from his role as chairman, it is important to remember his history of false and defamatory claims about our community. GLAAD urges the media to not allow Dobson to turn today's news into yet another media platform for him to advance his intolerant divisive attacks on gay and lesbian Americans and their families."

Palin Family Values

Sure, there's this.

But, now there's this:

Is the party of traditional marriage aware that the vice-presidential nominee actually eloped with her now-husband? And just in case you missed it: Scott Richter, Todd Palin's former business partner, has just filed an emergency motion to seal his divorce papers.

Jesus People To Hold Rain Dance Against Dem Buttseks Party

Stuart Shepard with Focus on the Family wants all good people of faith to join together and pray for rain when the Pagan Messiah, Barack Obama, takes the stage to accept his party's nomination.

Again, the reasoning for this is that St. Barack kills babies in his free time and tosses them into a dumpster for a 3-point shot near the bathhouse where he officiates same-sex marriages.

Focus On The Family's New Logo

Good As You gives their take:

And to be honest, we find the image a little bizarre. For while the Dobsonites clearly mean for it to represent a child with his mother and father, we see several other options that can easily be gleaned from the sketch. Like, maybe:

- A butch and femme lesbian couple with their child

- A gay male couple, one with broad arms and one with more diminutive features, with their kid

- A child whose parents are divorcing and fighting over which way the child is going to go

- A family standing hand-in-hand on a protest line, chanting freedom songs in protest of FOF's constant push for inequalities

- A demented child who has just ripped his parents limps off of their bodies and is now holding them up as a sign of his victory (and/or warning to others)

- A child being forcibly pulled into "ex-gay" therapy against his will
