Seriously, if God exists, do you really think that he would listen to one particular political party over another? Do you really think he/she cares about James Dobson's Focus On The Family?
Apparently they think God does.
Stewart Shepard, FOTF's video-production-guy, posted a video on the site that asked fanatical right-wing zealots to pray for rain of "biblical proportions" that would, in turn, "wash out" Barack Obama's speech at Mile High Stadium in Denver on August 28th.
But, it appears that FOTF and Shepard had a change of heart and tried to remove the video.
And now, the spin begins:
Focus on the Family Action pulled a video from its Web site today that asked people to pray for “rain of biblical proportions” during Barack Obama’s Aug. 28 appearance at Invesco Field in Denver to accept the Democratic nomination for president.
Stuart Shepard, director of digital media at Focus Action, the political arm of Focus on the Family, said the video he wrote and starred in was meant to be “mildly humorous.”
But complaints from about a dozen Focus members convinced the organization to pull the video, said Tom Minnery, Focus Action vice president of public policy.
“If people took it seriously, we regret it,” Minnery said Monday.

This brings up two thoughts:
First, the religious conservatives in this country are so afraid of Obama, that they are willing to wish a damaging flood upon an etire city. I know from personal experience that flooding is no joke.
Secondly, this is a major signal from the conservative movement that they don't think that McCain is going to be able to beat Obama. I mean, they're praying for a miracle.
