Focus on the Family Action has pulled a controversial video from staffer Stuart Shepard, in which he asked people to pray for rain when Sen. Barack Obama accepts the Democratic nomination for the presidency at an outdoor stadium on Aug. 28.

The Gazette in Colorado Springs, Colo., reported that while Shepard thought the video that appeared on the organization’s Web site was “mildly humorous,” some Focus supporters did not.

“If people took it seriously, we regret it,” said Tom Minnery, vice president of public policy for Focus on the Family Action.


The video in question is still posted on YouTube.
