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.

Gibbs @ WH Presser: unaware of any plans to address heinous arguments in DOMA brief

by: Pam Spaulding

Mon Jun 22, 2009 at 21:09:55 PM EDT


Hot from today's WH press briefing (via email), Robert Gibbs discloses that the WH currently has no plan to reject or change the heinous defenses in the DOJ DOMA brief. Or rather, he's not aware of any -- nothing like floating the whole plausible deniability statement, but given the matters at hand, dust has probably collected on the brief.
Q    Robert, on the issue of the DOMA brief, one of your colleagues over the weekend, Lisa Brown, said that she didn't think some of the language that was in that brief should have been in there.  Can you clarify from last week whether that brief was clear here at the White House, whether it represents the White House's view?

MR. GIBBS:  Lisa is the Staff Secretary.  You didn't ask her?

Q    It wasn't a press conference; it was a panel discussion.  But can you clarify whether it was cleared --

MR. GIBBS:  I don't know the answer to that.

Q    And do you know if there is any discussion underway about maybe modifying it or changing it?

MR. GIBBS:  Not that I'm aware of.

I wonder if that was one of the three questions asked during the WH conference call with LGBT honchos today? The Lisa Brown statement the reporter is referring to about DOMA was said while serving on an American Constitution Society panel (via Queerty):

But Lisa Brown says it could've been worse! Barack Obama's staff secretary said the Department of Justice's lawsuit response to DOMA was "an awful lot better that the brief that was written in the Bush administration," adding, "There's no question - personal statement - that there were some cites in there that should not-that should not have been in there...They were trying to...essentially eliminate arguments that the Bush Administration had made."

Speaking at a panel discussion for the American Constitution Society, Brown's words were joined by Vice President Joe Biden's chief of staff Ron Klain, who noted: "I understand why people are impatient with the pace of progress. We have only been here 125 days, and in those 125 days have many irons in the fire. ... I hope that next year when we have this conference and that question gets asked it doesn't elicit the same kind of applause that it elicited this time."

In semi-related news, Queerty is also reporting that Hilary Rosen will be attending the LGBT DNC fundraiser.

former RIAA chief and current PR strategist-slash-CNN talking head Hilary Rosen will be at the Democratic National Committee LGBT Leadership Council fundraiser on Thursday. We're assuming she'll attend with newly announced girlfriend Randi Weingarten, who might be attending only because she'll have a chance to troll the room looking for job prospects.

UPDATE (6/23):Hilary Rosen contacted me this AM to say she will NOT be attending the fundraiser.

WHat Bullshit
Their best defense is 'hey, it could be worse'?

Hey, how about you lose your re-election bid, and then I tell you it could be worse because in some countries rhey run you out of the country after you lose an election?

It could always be worse, huh?

Spelling question
How many "ucks" in "Fuck you, Misters Gibbs and Klain, Ms. Brown and the Administration at large?"

Evidently they've decided
that the best way to observe the anniversary of Stonewall is by good old-fashined stonewalling.  Could someone please explain to them that isn't what it was about?  

This administration looks more like a retread of Bush/Cheney with each passing day.  Except that George Bush at his worst never attacked us as viciously as Obama did in the DOMA brief.

May I quote you...
...re: your "Stonewalling" quip for an article I'm writing for the Stonewall anniversary? Way witty.

I wasn't freaking invited . . .
But if I were, I'd be tempted attend & wear a nice heavy heel to show them what Stonewall was all about.

One of these days...

Gibbs is going to pull an Ahmadinejad and claim there are no homosexuals in America.

This just keeps getting better and better
Anyone who shows up at the fundraiser protest needs to be armed with extra pairs of shoes. Pink flip-flops. Or eggs and rotten fruit.

There is no excuse for this level of sneering contempt. None. And those who collaborate and enable their own oppression need to be publicly shamed.

Once again......
...Queerty gets it wrong.   Randi Weingarten resigned as the head of the NYC teachers union to focus solely on her second job: head of the national teachers union.

we're not Bush....be happy


"race, taste. and History finally overcome....and you ain't there"
by Tony Kushner


To say, "McCain would have done worse" is utter bullshit
Whether or not McCain would have done worse is entirely irrelevant. The point is that Obama could have, and SHOULD have, done far better.

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même merde.

we do know
what ONE of the three questions was on the teleconference.

It was along the lines of"

"what the hell are we going to do about the bloggers?"


next year? next year?!
I hope that next year when we have this conference and that question gets asked it doesn't elicit the same kind of applause that it elicited this time.

So we'll have the same question and the same answer next year?

Looks like a Freudian slip. What Freud was doing in a slip, I'll never know.
-- with apologies to G. Marx


yeah
yeah, does that mean its gonna take them a WHOLE YEAR to come up with a PLAUSIBLE SOUNDBYTE?!?!?
