Blend-o-licious endorsements...



The Christian Civic League of Maine's Mike Hein calls Pam's House Blend:
"a leading source of radical homosexual propaganda, anti-Christian bigotry, and radical transgender advocacy."

He is "praying that Pam Spaulding will "turn away from her wicked and sinful promotion of homosexual behavior." (CCLM's web site, 10/15/07)


Ex-gay "Christian" activist James Hartline on Pam:
"I have been mocked over and over again by ungodly and unprincipled anti-christian lesbians."
(from "Six Years In Sodom: From The Journal Of James Hartline," 9/4/2006, written from the "homosexual stronghold" of Hillcrest in San Diego).

"Pam is a 'twisted lesbian sister' and an 'embittered lesbian' of the 'self-imposed gutteral experiences of the gay ghetto.'" -- 9/5/2008



Peter LaBarbera of Americans for Truth Against Homosexuality heartily endorses the Blend, calling Pam:

A "vicious anti-Christian lesbian activist."
(Concerned Women for America's radio show [9:15], 1/25/07)

"A nutty lesbian blogger."
(MassResistance radio show [16:25], 2/3/07)


Pam's House Blend always seems to find these sick f*cks. The area of the country she is in? The home state of her wife? I know, they are everywhere. Pam just does such a great job of bringing them out into the light.

Foxx tries to backtrack on Shepard comments: 'hoax' was a poor choice of words

by: Pam Spaulding

Wed Apr 29, 2009 at 19:59:09 PM EDT


A poor choice of words? Too late for you, Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-NC5). You know you meant what you said when you spewed that hate on the floor of the House of Representative. You shamed yourself, your district and your state with that filth. And this backtracking is only because you must have had no clue how out of step you are with basic decency. The NC GOP was laughing at the anger over your remarks. I doubt they are laughing now as they have to explain to the media why the party of Jesse Helms and Elizabeth Dole refuse to enter the 21st century. (WXII12-Winston-Salem):
Foxx released this comment stating that she used a poor choice of words:

"It has come to my attention that some people have been led to believe that I think the terrible crimes that led to Matthew Shepard's death in 1998 were a hoax," she said. "The term "hoax" was a poor choice of words used in the discussion of the hate crimes bill. Mr. Shepard's death was nothing less than a tragedy and those responsible for his death certainly deserved the punishment they received.

"The larger context of my remarks is important. I was referring to a 2004 ABC 20/20 report on Mr. Shepard's death. The 20/20 report questioned the motivation of those responsible for Mr. Shepard's death. Referencing this media account may have been a mistake, but if so it was a mistake based on what I believed were reliable accounts."

Let's go back to the videotape...


"The bill was named after a very unfortunate incident that happened, where a young man was killed, but we know that that young man was killed in the commitment of robbery. It wasn't because he was gay. The bill was named for him, the hate crimes bill was named for him, but it's, it's really a hoax, that that continues to be used as an excuse for passing these bills."
She sounds mighty confident about her choice of words, doesn't she?

Change has come
and she's just now learning she's behind the curve

http://www.dyssonance.com  Breaking all the rules...

I'll say it again
Contact your Rep in the House and ask that they move to censure her.

Do it.  Do it now.


I checked the roll call. My Rep voted against the bill.
I have spoken to him more than once in the passed about his untoward views, but he is a REPUBLICAN machine, bought and paid for over the last 20+ years. Actually, he did change his vote on Medicare, but only becuase all the filthy rich subsidized farmers here are now over 65!

It's the Hammer of JUSTICE,
It's the Bell of FREEDOM,
It's the Song about LOVE between,
my Brothers and my Sisters
...All over this Land.

Are you stuck with Herger?
Oh my, a lot of my relatives live along the 299 axis....I read the Record Searchlight online all the time (don't ask me why). It's amazing to me that he can stay in office as so many of the diehard repugs and libertarians who comment online aren't crazy about him....Difficult district.

[ Parent ]
Apparently she doesn't believe in the words "I'm sorry".
But when in the last eight years did a goon like her even bother with a retraction?

The good news out of this is that we quite obviously have these pieces of filth on the run.

Nonetheless, we can't be permanently rid of them fast enough.


I trust that she has a speechwriter
and I trust that this...woman read those words before that speech. I don't know who this...ignorant woman is trying to kid.

And this...bigoted ignorant woman could not even say she was wrong or apologize.

 


I doubt the speechwriter -
She has staffers who 'brief' her on issues, and of course she gets the Fox  daily brief of talking points, but that littes screed was impromptu -

The same sort of veritas one hears when the spaeker has had 8 glasses of zinfandel.

That was her, through and through.

Question:  What does an atheist do when they fall to the floor and start "speaking in tongues"?

Answer: Get a CAT scan.


[ Parent ]
I wonder
if the fact that all her answering machines are full of outraged messages left by citizens disgusted by her remarks had anything to do with this.

A Question for Ms. Foxx
Why do liars hide behind other liars?

http://www.matthewshepard.org/...


Yeah, right
well . .it's not 2004, and the facts are the facts. Shame on Virginia Foxx. You can't backtrack on statements made in the congressional record. . .statements made in the face of the Mother of the victim who is named for the legislation.

This one isn't going to go away with a press release. . .Nor is it going away by not allowing people with a specific zip code to contact her via the interwebs.


Unfortunately
as a member, she has the right to edit her comments before they go into the Record.  It's done all the time.  

Cynic, n.  A blackguard whose faulty vision sees things as they are, not as they ought to be.  
-Bierce, The Devil's Dictionary


[ Parent ]
true . . .
but we know what she actually said. She can try to whitewash it all she wants. . . .even if the written record is washed . .it's an antiquated form of documentation.

Again . .it's not 2004, nor is it 1984. . .or is it?


[ Parent ]
"she has the right to edit her comments before they go into the Record"
But not before they hit the Internets.

Just ask Orrin "clean Americans" Hatch.

"I was referring to a 2004 ABC 20/20 report on Mr. Shepard's death"
I think we should all learn important facts from a hackneyed Tee Vee "news" program from five years ago.

Lies, lies, and more lies
Is this idiot even aware that the 20/20 special was completely debunked by the police chief who handled the case? His response to it was recorded quite clearly by the Laramie Boomerang. Pam, I seem to remember something you wrote in 2004 about this very thing.

My own post on the subject.

NYU journalism department tears 20/20 apart.


God save ornery old queens! - kevinchi


Heh
"It has come to my attention that some people have been led to believe that I think the terrible crimes that led to Matthew Shepard's death in 1998 were a hoax"

"...Because I said that."

AAAArrrrrggghhhh!!!!!
Her email site only accepts messages from persons whose zip code matches her district. Such cowardice!!

Looks like Keith O is going to recognize her
With one of his coveted slots on tonights' "Worst Person in the World." Wanna bet she get's the number 1 position?

[ Parent ]
I know!
Did you see the split screen of Michelle Bachmann on the left and Virginia Foxx on the right?

"Hit it out of the freakin' PARK" imagery!

Go, KO!!

[ Parent ]
Yep - She was Number 1 Worst!
AND Keith gave a great mini-special comment calling on her to apologize and recant, or resign. He also noted, and I did not realize this, that Judy Shepard was in the gallery of the House when Foxx spoke.  

[ Parent ]
She said this in front of his MOTHER???!!?!?!
Oh no she didn't.

I have hardened myself, over the years I have worked in politics, to the apathy, arrogance and derision of a certain type of misinformed bigot whose name always seems to be bracketed by 'Rep.' [Joe Blow], (R).

The appalling lack of human empathy it would take, to stand there in front of Judy, look her in the eye, and say that efforts to prevent future hate murders are the result of a hoax, because everyone has been fooled about the violent death her son suffered...that falls beneath even my well-informed low expectations of Republican House members.

But wait, there's more!


[ Parent ]
I know
IN FRONT OF HIS MOM...

Had I not been a first hand witness to open discrimination and hate this past week, I would have doubted that anyone could honestly be THAT cruel and heartless.

Now I know better.

Woohoo!
I got my wish!

The Foxx press release
The Winston Salem Journal is reporting that Rep. Foxx has not been available for comment at all today but her "spokesman" released the statement clarifying her statement.  I doubt Virginia Foxx had anything to do with releasing the clarification statement, after having followed her for years I have learned once she says something she believes she is ALWAYS right and NEVER changes her mind.  Her district is rapidly republican and most of the people there are as ignorant as she is.

Her Resignation
 Who do we write to in the Republican Party to asked for her resignation. My representative is republican-should i write him.-Mike  

John Boehner
 I wrote House Republican Leader John Boehner requesting her resignation. -Mike
