Religious Zealot Prays for Rain at Obama Nomination

I'm inherently suspicious of any activist group with "Family" in the title. You've got the American Family Association, Family Research Council, Focus on the Family, and several other ancillary groups. And seemingly, they exist for almost a solitary purpose: to step on the necks of gay, lesbian, and transgendered people. For all their protestations that GLBT people have co-opted the word "gay"--like that is some sort of sacrosanct word that has been stolen--they don't seem to mind co-opting "family."

When I am given the opportunity to make people from these organizations look foolish, I never hesitate to do so. But when the do so all by themselves, all the better. It would seem that if you have a "family" you also must be against Barack Obama. Wait a minute, what? Anyway, apparently FOTF plans on doing a rain dance or its equivalent to get God to spoil Barack Obama's nomination party. Petty much?

By the way, isn't it supposed to be Raining McCain?
