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.

Homobigot Ken Hutcherson says he's a 'White House envoy'

by: Pam Spaulding

Mon Mar 19, 2007 at 21:00:00 PM EDT


This story has blown up over at Americablog (see here, here, and here). One of the more persistent, outlandish anti-gay pastors around, Ken Hutcherson of Antioch Bible Church (near Seattle) is making the White House sweat.

"Pastor Hutch" is claiming that the White House Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives has named him "Special Envoy for Adoptions, Family Values, Religious Freedom, and Medical Relief," and so he has been freely identifying himself as an agent of the Bush White House. Look at what kind of "envoy" Hutch is (John @ Americablog):

Hutcherson then claims he used his new White House anointed status to meet with Latvian government officials and go bother our US embassy officials in Latvia.  And who reportedly tagged along with Mr. Hutcherson on his White House endorsed trip?  None of than religious right anti-gay activist Scott Lively, a man accused of publishing Holocaust Revisionism by HateWatch.  You see, Lively is the guy behind the theory that gays were the really masterminds behind the Holocaust.

Hutcherson also says he was there pushing Latvia to oppose gay marriage.  Good God, do these people ever quit?  Hutcherson also lectured the US Embassy officials about their supposed support for the homosexual agenda - I'm sure they had nothing better to do than meet with this goofball now officially representing the Bush the White House.
Hutcherson's boast to The Stranger's blog is delicious.
I asked Hutcherson what the title and the partnership mean in terms of his work in Latvia. He replied:

"In my meetings, I can represent as being with them [the White House] and having the power I need to get things done."

Hooboy. That gave someone agita at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, because the shill at the Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives then denied Hutch had any such "powers."

That denial got Hutch mad, and he's threatening to bust the White House with proof of its pleasure of having him serve as an envoy:

Hutcherson just called me again. He sounded quite perturbed that he is being cast as, in his words, "a liar," and he told me that he is rushing to get his hands on video of an interview with Latvian television that he said will prove his claims.

The video, Hutcherson told me, was shot after a Feb. 8 meeting at the White House between himself; Jay Hein, the director of the White House Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives; and Pastor Alexei Ladyaev of Latvia's New Generation Church.

...Hutcherson said the video will show that Hein met with him, knew of his new title, and approved of his mission to Latvia. As Hutcherson put it to me:

  I'm gonna prove that I had those meetings, I'm gonna prove that I got that title behind me, and I'm gonna show you the video that says I was coming to Latvia and the purpose why.

Someone get out the popcorn...

My own research
I just called my friend who works at the Stranger about it.  He is supposed to get back to me as soon as him and some others get done verifying info for Eli's article about Ken.  Im def following this closely.  Maybe Ken can finally lose his church protected 501k proteted tax status and pay up his dues.

Try not. Do or do not. There is no try.

sweet association
This is too funny.  It's not a good PR week for the Bush Crime Family.

A loony preacher and a Holocaust revisionist traveling to Latvia to save marriage?  It sounds like an offbeat indy buddy flik.  Who wants to work on the screenplay?

Electricity's for light bulbs!


Ken in Riga
According to this story, Hater Ken is well known in Lativa.  He was there to participate in a conference organized by the Latvian Evangelical Lutheran Church.  According to the story, he "needed no introduction."  My my, had to go all the way to Latvia to be taken seriously!

That story also mentions that a group has formed in Riga to oppose the annual gay pride parade.  The hater group's name?  "No Pride".  LOL!  No kidding!

That says it all
He's an envoy, but the Republicans wouldn't allow a gay man to be Ambassador to Luxembourg?

You can't make this shit up.  At every turn, in every way, the Republicans have perverted justice and defied common sense and morality, while claiming to do the opposite.

I wonder if that new Seattle US Attorney might be interested in this case?
Stranger Blog commenter "him" points this out...

Perhaps a violation of 18 USC 912:

Whoever falsely assumes or pretends to be an officer or employee acting under the authority of the United States or any department, agency or officer thereof, and acts as such, or in such pretended character demands or obtains any money, paper, document, or thing of value, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.

Hutcherson
If his trip was an official one for the government, he will have an official cable issued by State authorizing the trip and laying out his itinerary, as well as a separate cable issued by Embassy Riga granting him country clearance.  Ask him to produce those.  My guess is he's a small town blowhard with delusions of grandeur (anyone seeking legitimacy from the Bush White House at this stage is scraping the barrel anyway).

Karl Rover has been busy again in locating BIGOTS


"quite perturbed that he is being cast as, in his words, "a liar,""
John Stemberger's Florida4Marriage.org still trusts Hutcherson's use of the now infamous dutch study.
http://www.boxturtle...

His being "cast as a liar" is said and done.


Latvia has an anti-Semitic history
so I am not surprised that a Holocaust denier would go there to find a willing audience. Remember, the Baltic states pretty much participated in the rounding up of Jews.

Anti-Semitic Ball Ticks
So I guess they must be pretty much now as they were 60 years ago?

I'm not sure, but...
..."Pastor Hutch" is claiming that the White House Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives has named him "Special Envoy for Adoptions, Family Values, Religious Freedom, and Medical Relief," and so he has been freely identifying himself as an agent of the Bush White House.

I thought I had read something a while ago that suggested that it was a federal (US) crime for an American citizen to misrepresent him- or herself as an agent of the federal government in a foreign country.  If that's true, if Hutch is claiming to be a "special envoy" of the Bush administration, it seems to me he would be committing a federal crime by doing so.
