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.

Dr. King's anti-gay daughter to head civil rights organization he started

From the Seattle Times

The Rev. Bernice King has been chosen as the first woman to head the civil rights organization co-founded by her father, the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.

The Southern Christian Leadership Conference announced her election as its eighth president Friday morning. Interim President Byron Clay called King and said she accepted the position.

I find this disturbing. King has made a name for herself as a strong opponent of gay rights which resulted in her estrangement from her mother, Coretta Scott King, and her sister, Yolanda King, both outspoken supporters of equal rights for all. Her homophobia is also a slap against the SCLC's co-founder, the openly gay Bayard Rustin, who counseled Dr. King on non-violent resistance and was instrumental in organizing the March On Washington in 1963.

TechBear :: Dr. King's anti-gay daughter to head civil rights organization he started
From CNN:


Bernice King, the youngest child of slain civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., has been elected president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, a spokeswoman for the group said Friday.

King, 46, was elected as the SCLC's first female president, said Renee Richardson.

"It is a destiny call," she told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution last week. "It is part of my father and mother's legacy and a continuation of the legacy he started in the '50s and '60s through this organization. I believe that the hand of God is leading me."

From BBC:


Ms King said her election would be a continuation of her father's legacy.

She beat Wendell Griffin, the first black lawyer to work for a major Arkansas law firm, to the post.

After its foundation in 1957, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) was for years one of the country's most influential civil rights groups with a reputation for organising effective non-violent direct-action protests.
Under Martin Luther King's leadership, the group played a key role in the passing of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, which banned racial segregation.

In recent years, however, the organisation has suffered from infighting - with some members in Florida threatening to secede - and controversy brewing over the president of a branch in California backing gay marriage.

She will be the third member of the King family to preside over the SCLC. Her brother, Martin Luther King III, was president from 1998 to 2003.

Well, when it was announced that
this evil anti-gay witch (and you know that's not what I want to say) was running for this position...I had a feeling that she would get it.

The SCLC seems to be staking out the anti-gay position to the NAACP.

I'm cool as long as Miss Bernice keeps her anti-gay remarks confined to her religious beliefs (well, I'm not cool with that but you know what I mean) and not to all black people.


Please don't associate her with Witches, Kevin
Most Witches that I know are wonderful women; accepting and inclusive as well.

You're right, Maura!
My bad!

Thanks Kevin.
Whatever good that she might do for some, Ms King remains a nasty piece of work

And I've known some witches
so I know that's right.

See, even I have to decolonize myself (to use a bell hooks term...at least I learned it by reading her) from the language and the connotations of it by this society.


[ Parent ]
Continuation?
It will a subversion of her father's legacy!

I agree.
How disheartening. She is essentially abetting the same discriminatory white power structure her father fought against. All the 'family' arguments, all the subversion of Christian teachings, it's the same wall of intolerance. But instead of charging through it or climbing over it like her father inspired a generation to do, she walks alongside that wall because she isn't personally affected by what's on the other side.
"An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity. "
-Martin Luther King, Jr.

Ugh
A few DNA strands and a last name, that's the only resemblance that horrible woman has to her father and the legacy she's blatantly trading upon.  

it's gonna get ugly....
SCLC national is already in  apissing match with SCLCLos Angeles (the largest chapter) about it's President (Dr. Eric Lee) and his support for marriage equality and opposition to Proposition 8.

Bernice has been a LONGTIME, VOCAL homophobe. I see no reason why she should stop now.

The SCLC is rapidly sinking...
...into irrelevance.  She will push it under for the last time.

I eschew any organization purporting to be a civil rights organization
that has a blatant religious reference in its title.
