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.

Sen. Vitter doesn't know if Loving v. Virginia was a correct decision: 'I haven't read the case'

by: Pam Spaulding

Wed Nov 18, 2009 at 15:30:00 PM EST


Who'd have thought we'd be talking about miscegenation in 2009? But as we saw yesterday, and now with this bit of business, there are people who have "Jungle Fever" still eating away at their bigoted brains 40+ years after Loving v. Virginia.

For quite some time, the press, including Mike Stark of The Stark Report, have been trying to get Sen. David Vitter (R-LA) to give a comment about the racist Hammond, Louisiana Justice of the Peace Keith Bardwell, who refused to marry an interracial couple. Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal and Sen. Mary Landrieu were quick to condemn Bardwell (who said he wasn't racist because his black friends can "use my bathroom. I treat them just like everyone else.")

Well, maybe there's a reason Vitter hasn't made a comment. Mike Stark just learned that, after catching up with Vitter, the senator's excuse is even more breathtaking -- I haven't read the case." Watch it:

I emailed Vitter's Press Secretary and asked if Vitter believed Loving had been decided correctly or if it was a case of unwarranted judicial activism. I let them know that if they sent me back a clarification, I wouldn't have to ask the Senator on camera. Of course, if I did see the Senator before I received their statement, hopefully he would be prepared to answer the question.

Almost a month had passed when I ran into the Senator yesterday.

Here is the result:

I mean savvy politicians are good at an artful dodge, but this bumbling performance is classic. Mike:
Vitter graduated Tulane Law School in 1988.  Loving v. Virginia, decided in 1967, was a unanimous Supreme Court decision that declared state anti-miscegenation (interracial marriage) laws unconstitutional.  It is one of the bedrock civil rights cases, right up there with Brown.  It is simply not credible for any lawyer to claim ignorance when asked about Loving.

I can't WAIT to vote that f*cktard out of office
I tell you the politicians down here are like a BIZARRO Universe from who ran in MN. Michelle Bachman is an aboration that happened AFTER I left the state. Here they are the NORM. ONLY Cao seems to have any functioning brain cells. Mary Landreiu makes vomit rise in my throat.

wow, I left the state of Louisiana
I lived there for 26 yrs ... It is one god-awful place to live.  There are some really cool people there, tho'!  :)

Vitter was probably having a diaper leak and couldn't discuss the case, you see. ... Louisiana is a whacked-out place, dude.  He knows damn well what Loving v. Virginia is.

yep, and Cao received a barrage of vile threats and insults from the Cons and Fundies there, I saw that when I somehow got directed to the Twitter feed for La. gov. ...
I've met Mary and several other slimy La. pols through business dealings.  Mmmm, good ole Louisiana politicians ...

The South still holds a resentment over - well, I was gonna say - the 50's and 60's civil rights victories but, hell they (racist white Southerners) still resent the gottdam Civil War.  It hasn't been all that long -- example, my grandfather was born only 15 years after the Emancipation Proclamation ... Then add in all of the history, the bitterness passed down to the next and the next generation ... et voila, the kkk and other hate clubs are alive and well, especially in the South.
And Louisiana almost elected fuckin' David Duke for Governor back when ... I was so embarrassed.

sorry for the rant, people.  ;)    I cannot stand these lying pigs...

But will Vitter lose re-election?
Poll results released a month ago indicate that he has a double-digit lead over the Democratic candidate.
Vitter had 47.6 percent to Melancon's 35.8 percent, with 16.6 percent undecided

http://www.nola.com/politics/i...

Granted, that is a high percentage of undecided voters for an incumbent senator, but why would Louisiana voters need to think twice?

He seems to have the same lack of intellectual curiosity as our last president

It would not surprise me one bit if he actually did not know what the Loving case was. And the question had big words in it.

He really strikes me as not that bright.

Question:  What does an atheist do when they fall to the floor and start "speaking in tongues"?

Answer: Get a CAT scan.


I thought the sheen off the camera lens or mic
was all it took to get his undivided attention. EVERY box of chocolates suprises david DIAPER vitter.

Wow
They're not even trying to hide it anymore, are they?

I disagree: It is quite credible for a lawyer to claim ignorance when asked about Loving
When, that is, said lawyer is a racist bigot who believes that Loving was a bad decision but daren't actually say that.

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

"It is simply not credible for any lawyer to claim ignorance when asked about Loving."
Its as credible as what Clarence Thomas claimed regarding his relationship to Roe v. Wade during his confirmation hearings in 1991.

Oh........................

>^..^<


Golly, so Vitter hasn't had time to read the decision.
That's perfectly believable.  As he says, he has a lot on his plate--just like Obama.  Hey, if it's a valid excuse for one of them, it must be valid for both, right?

**sigh**  American politics would be wonderful if we could just get rid of all the damn politicians.

Cynic, n.  A blackguard whose faulty vision sees things as they are, not as they ought to be.

I don't really think he's claiming ignorance...
I think he just is.

No one is free when others are oppressed!

"I haven't read the Emancipation Proclamation...
...so I don't know if it's a good thing or not."

Or the constitution...or the Bill of Rights

Doesn't surprise me. I know some of his family members.
They are so racist they don't even realize that most people don't think that black people are inferior.  

"I haven't read the fourteenth amendment...
...so I don't know if it's a good thing or not."

I am the lizard queen!

No joke
That I'm sure he has read - because he's of the political wing that believes it was never validly enacted.

Had Dubya manages to put one more Scalitobertsmas on the court, the first case thereafter to get to the SCOTUS would have resulted in an opinion wiping out the 14th Amendment.

Makes me wonder if evolution stalled in some places.  Looks like another case of taking someone kicking and screaming into the 20th century.

As they try to seperate and undermine us
tell them we'll come back for them..... LATER

Focus
health care health care

Seems like a great finger in the ear to every other issue.

Yes, health care is important.. but does that give legislators the green light to avoid all other issues?  No.
