From the Colorado Springs Gazette:
Focus on the Family announced it will lay off 30 employees and reassign 15 others because of a drop in projected revenue and a shift to e-mail and Internet-based communications.
And while that was making me smile, this was making me both laugh my ass off and get infuriated…Kathy Griffin, the unfortunate fallout from her Emmy speech, and the ridiculous attacks coming from William Donohue.
Kathy’s speech rocked, in my opinion. It wasn’t anti-religious, it was a joke aimed at how many people thank a higher being whenever they win something.
And who is William Donohue to call on her to apologize?? Here are just a few things William Donohue has said about other religions in the past:
* On the February 9, 2006, edition of MSNBC’s Scarborough Country, Donohue said: “People don’t trust the Muslims when it comes to liberty.”
* On the December 8, 2004, edition of Scarborough Country, he said: “We’ve already won. Who really cares what Hollywood thinks? All these hacks come out there. Hollywood is controlled by secular Jews who hate Christianity in general and Catholicism in particular. It’s not a secret, OK? And I’m not afraid to say it. … Hollywood likes anal sex. They like to see the public square without nativity scenes. I like families. I like children. They like abortions. I believe in traditional values and restraint. They believe in libertinism. We have nothing in common. But you know what? The culture war has been ongoing for a long time. Their side has lost.”
* In 2004, Media Matters first detailed anti-Catholic comments made by Jerome Corsi, who, as co-author of Unfit for Command (Regnery, August 2004), was one of the ringleaders of the smear campaign by the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth against Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) — a Catholic presidential candidate. Among Corsi’s bigoted comments: “Boy buggering in both Islam and Catholicism is okay with the Pope as long as it isn’t reported by the liberal press.” Despite the uproar surrounding Corsi’s comments, Donohue subsequently dismissed the comments as “quips.“

I think Kathy is the most amazing girl. I don’t thinkthat peopleshould rush to her defense,saying thaqt her speech was anti-religious. It should not matter if her speech WAS anti-religious. Where have we gotten off track in the nobody flinches when the pope calls gays and lesbians satanic, but if someone says one tiny little thing, even for the sake of a laugh, against religion everyone is up and arms? I know why… but the reasons should not amount to a pass for this horrible paralell.
sorry I miss spelled everything! LOL
