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.

Thanks to Jeremy at Good As You, Daddy D's shop had to admit it lied about a poll conducted by Cornerstone Policy Research and cited by Focus on the Family, that claimed it "surveyed every New Hampshire household" on the subject of marriage equality. Jeremy said:Now, keep in mind that they're not saying they attempted to contact every household. They're not saying that they're using a representative sample that approximates the full spectrum of NH households. They, without any margin of error or qualifiers, are claiming that every single household in the Live Free or Die state weighed in on this subject, with 64% adding a caveat to the the first part of that state motto. With a claim that bold pointed out publicly, Focus's Gary Schneeberger had to fess up (Jeremy has the letter) to an "inaccuracy" on the part of the anti-gay organization. How convenient. A snippet of the excuse:I'm not a teleemarketing export so I don't know the technical meaning of "survey" as it applies to the industry. But as a communications professional, I do know the word implies a connectino beyond placing a phone call, and I have confirmed today in follow-up conversations that it is inaccurate to say all households in New Hampshire responded to the survey questions.
FNIF made and error -- not one of malice, but of insufficient due diligence in reporting a story. Jesus. This is how these organizations operate, particularly when polls like this and junk science are concerned. This time they were caught with their pants down because the claim was so outrageous.
But what if no one had challenged Focus on this? This lie would have continued to circulate, get repeated by fundie talking heads on news shows, turn up on winger blogs, etc. You know the deal. This is particularly true of the folks like Maggie Gallagher, Tony Perkins, etc. -- they are popular with these chat shows, and can go on-air and spout off false statistics and quote slanted, questionable research as fact, because they know the under-prepared host or moderator won't challenge the veracity of their statements. |
