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.

Sotomayor, and an interesting argument about upbringing

by: rupi3000

Fri May 29, 2009 at 09:00:30 AM EDT


I just stumbled over a very interesting around Sotomayor's nomination: Top Republican calls Limbaugh, Gingrich comments 'terrible'. It's mainly about some GOP senate politicians getting somewhat freaked out by the comments angry old white men (Gingrich and Limbaugh) are making about Sotomayor and try to distance themselves from those comments.

Senate politician Cornyn - after distancing himself from Gingrich and Limbaugh - concludes with the following quote:

"We are all a product of our upbringing and who we are and I think it's a fact people do have different backgrounds, but I don't think those background ought to determine what the law is."

Now wait a second: "law should not be determined by upbringing". This is interesting! Isn't the whole anti-gay marriage industry sometimes explicitly and the rest of the times implicitly based on 'christian beliefs' and 'christian upbringing'? But why am I surprised, it's just another piece in the big bigotry puzzle ...

Good Call
Good call Rupi3000! And a good laugh for a Friday night - the constant contradictions and hypocrisies of the those republican neanterthals are so amusing (yet maddening at the same time). Thanks for the laugh!

Close the GayTM. Only give to candidates who have actually done something other than make promises - most are just pandering for our cash.

Consistency
is not a conservative value.

I am the lizard queen!

I was just listening to progressive talk radio here
and heard about this. Interestingly, the radio story also had similar quotes/stories from Thomas, O'Connor, and Alito.

Curiouser and curiouser.


Alito
actually has made VERY similar comments to Sotomayor in the past, about his upbringing, background etc. But of course, the right doesn't complain when it is a white male who says that his upbringing affects his outlook on law. Glenn Greenwald had a recent article detailing this.

Anyways, it isn't terrible curious. Despite the rantings of the Limbaughs, the sane republicans know that they have no chance of stopping the pick, not when seven Repubs, not including Spector, voted for her previous nomination. Especially since Sotomayor isn't progressive or even liberal.  


[ Parent ]
Republican Senators have basically packed it in already re Sotomayor.
They'll pay particular attention in the committee hearings to the New Haven firefighter case, but you can bet they'll treat her with respect.  What the Republican Party can ill afford to do is alienate even more Hispanics than they already have with their immigration policies by beating up on a Latina.

I imagine that has a lot to do with Cornyn's remarks about Limbaugh and Gingrich.
