Two days after Obama and the Democratic Party won a ringing 7 million refusal of rightwing fearmongering and hate, the extreme right are unrepentant and none the wiser. Smintheus at Unbossed writes:
This evening James Dobson's Focus on the Family Action sent out a fundraising email to members that likened the victories of Barack Obama and congressional Democrats in Tuesday's election to the Nazi bombing of England during World War II. The author of this vile letter is Tom Minnery, Senior Vice President of Focus on the Family Action. It was nearly inevitable that anger over losing the 2008 election would soon provoke right-wing extremists to violate Godwin's Law. Obama's victory in Colorado may have been particularly galling for the Colorado Springs based Focus on the Family, which has been heavily involved in the political campaign this year advocating for conservative issues. James Dobson personally endorsed the McCain-Palin ticket this fall.
Focus On The Family Compares Obama To Nazis

Focus on the Family has not so far posted this hateful fundraising letter on the web. Here is the opening section of the letter:
Dear Friend,
The spirit of Winston Churchill was alive and well on Tuesday night at Focus on the Family Action headquarters.
You may recall that in the most desperate days of World War II – when Great Britain was being pounded daily by Hitler’s Luftwaffe – that Winston Churchill called on his countrymen not to despair from danger but to rise to the challenge.
It goes on in exactly the same vein, saying that:
Our nation has never faced the kind of anti-family, pro-abortion assault that we’re likely to see in the coming weeks and months. We don’t have to guess what the Left will do now that they control Congress and the White House; they’ve told us.
Let me speak plainly. Our nation has never faced the kind of anti-family, pro-abortion assault that were likely to see in the coming weeks and months. We dont have to guess what the Left will do now that they control Congress and the White House; theyve told us:
* President-elect Obama has promised, The first thing I'd do as president is sign the Freedom of Choice Act. That bill could wipe out every abortion restriction in state and federal law and result in an increase in abortions each year in America.
* He has also pledged to overturn the Defense of Marriage Act signed by President Clinton in 1996 and force every state without a constitutional amendment or specific state law protecting traditional marriage to recognize same-sex marriages.
* And religious freedom will be badly damaged if and when the gay lobbys two top bills hate crimes and Employment Nondiscrimination Act (ENDA) become law. A veto threat is all that has stopped them before, and Obama has vowed to sign them.
To stop these tragic outcomes and much more that I wont take time to list right now we must mobilize extraordinary numbers of citizens who care about upholding virtue, defending life and safeguarding religious liberty.
The letter carries on then with a typical appeal for money to stem the tide of liberalism, and concludes:
Together and with Gods help, we can turn these sterner days into great days in the history of America!
They should rename themselves "Focus on Hate"
