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.

Okay. It sure looks like the Fort Worth, Texas Mayor Mike Moncrief made an apology for the Rainbow Lounge incident in this video (and reported in this article), but apparently looks apparently can be deceiving. The Mayor said the following in response to a specific question in a city council meeting regarding the Rainbow Lounge incident:
"I am sorry for what happened in Fort Worth."
Sounds pretty clear, eh? Watch a video clip from the council meeting to see what you believe Mayor Moncrief is apologizing for.
Well, the Star-Telegram's PoliTex blog is reporting though, in their piece Did Moncrief apologize for the Rainbow Lounge raid?, that...
Many assumed the mayor was apologizing for the raid but, according to city spokesman Bill Begley, that's not true.
"The mayor and council are always sorry if anyone is hurt ever in our city," Begley said Wednesday. "The mayor has asked for a thorough investigation of what happened in the Rainbow Lounge to the point that he's asked for the U.S. attorney to get involved ...They want to make sure that all voices are heard ... but the apology is that anyone is ever hurt in any incident."
Well, with that clarification, whether an actual apology was issued is so much more...well, unclear.
Engh, it's politics. Apparently no politician ever really apologizes, even when it appears clear that he or she is actually apologizing.
