Focus on the Family plans an unspecified number of layoffs, and will be announcing specifics in the next few of days, Focus spokesman Gary Schneeberger said Thursday.

This comes on the heels of Focus' announcement in October that 46 employees would be reassigned or laid off next year due to a restructuring of its distribution arm. Focus has a staff of about 1,200 people.

Couldn't have happened to a nicer bunch. I almost feel sorry that a bunch of bigots are out of a job. I wonder if their local Mormon temple is hiring? Since the only thing that these two groups have in common is their hate for the gays.

1. Bwaaaaaaa!

2. Let's hope demand continues to slip for groups like this. n/t

19. Their funds and membership rolls have been on the decline for many years.

I've watched them dwindle and will continue to laugh as they finally render themselves insignificant.

23. They keep stealing the same people from each other. "We're

the most bigoted, come to us. No, we're the most bigoted, come to us."

3. So Long Guys, And Have a Great Depression!

That's how you know this isn't just your garden variety recession. When the money for hate dries up it's getting really, really bad.

[JackBeck]

24. Fascinating observation.

I never quite looked at it that way before.

4. Maybe they can get a job at Joe's Plumbing service?

5. I guess it's hard times for the Right-wing Religious Nutball industry too....

6. Donations down on account of Jim "Weiner Dog Abuser" Dobson being an asshat?

How sad for them.

15. I will never forget how he beat his little dog

and then the sick puke that he is, wrote about it in his book.

Beat dogs? Then, what are the chances he "focuses" the same rage on his family?

7. Oh darn.

:nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity:

What's a brainwashed moron to do?

8. I hear the KKK is hiring - however the entrance exam is murder

[Sabriel]

9. Has the downturn reached the hate sector?

To date, it's been a relatively stable sector of the country, but going forward, the forecast is for major shrinkage and perhaps some consolidation of revenue sources.

(I've always wanted to use the phrase "going forward.")

10. What's America coming to when hate can't make a profit? n/t

11. But, But, But, They're A Non-Profit

Must be even harder to sell hate at a discount.

12. Hate for gays and.......

.....love of Mammon. I know because I know some of the Focus on the Family vermin. Their love of Mammon trumps everything else. They just try to disguise it by cloaking it with Jesus robes.

[redwitch]

13. Who are they getting rid of? Mom? Uncle Charlie, Gramma Rose?

I'd lay off my kids, they're really expensive.

[tavalon]

14. I had forgotten to check in with the Rude Pundit

Thanks for the reminder.

16. Mormonism is a cult.

I liked your idea that FotF people should go to the Mormons since they have the one thing in common. But besides that and a belief in a god, that's all they have in common. Fundamentalists believe Mormonism is a cult.

[bullwinkle428]

17. 1200 employees?? I guess I didn't realize how big a business hate was...

[peekaloo]

18. they're aborting jobs?

say it ain't so.

[Gin]

20. New Name: > Focus on The Bottom Line

[Roland99]

21. 1200 people work for that hate-fest?

sad

[tanyev]

22. Time for them to start focusing on their own damn families.
