Hate Groups Affected by Economy?



Focus on the Family Shrinks: Does God Hate Homophobes?

The Gazette

Because of a weak economy and cash-strapped donors, Focus on the Family said it is eliminating 202 jobs, the deepest cuts in the 32-year history of the Colorado Springs-based Christian nonprofit. The ministry laid off 149 workers, and cut another 53 vacant positions.

The cuts announced Monday slash Focus' local workforce by nearly 18 percent - from about 1,150 to 950. Twenty percent of the cuts are in management.

The layoffs come just weeks after Focus announced it was outsourcing 46 jobs from its distribution department. Focus also laid off 30 workers and reassigned 15 more in September 2007.

The organization also cut its [...] budget from $160 million in fiscal 2008 to $138 million for fiscal 2009 in anticipation of tough times.

I can hardly stand to read about these loathsome bastards, even when it's the wonderful news that they're shrinking. I've been trying to think of any other city on earth that has been infected with as horrible a collection of humans as Colorado City which is overrun by evangelical "Christian" zealots.
