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.

Why is the Congressional Black Caucus Institute hopping in the sack with Faux News?

by: Pam Spaulding

Fri Mar 30, 2007 at 10:00:00 AM EDT


Fox News, Black Caucus join forces for presidential debates. This is simply sad. The CBC should not legitimize Fox in any way shape or form, given its treatment of blacks over the years. Hell, why partner with a network that ran a bogus "Madrassa/terrorist" story about Barack Obama? The network where  Mary Matalin called black civil rights leaders attending Coretta Scott King's funeral racist? The channel where Faux News host John Gibson called for the birth of more white babies because he's afraid of the country being overrun with minorities?

Don't take my word for it -- it's all right here, from foxattacks.com.

I love the clip of one of the winger brothers Faux put on to say that he had no problem with Michael Richards and his insane  "nigger rant" onstage. They can always dig up some person of color to promote their bigotry.  (AP):

Fox News, rejected by Democrats as host of a Nevada presidential debate, has a new debate partner.

The cable news network will co-sponsor primary debates for each party's presidential field this fall in partnership with the Congressional Black Caucus Political Education and Leadership Institute.

...The CBC Institute, a nonprofit group whose directors include members of the Congressional Black Caucus, and Fox News announced their agreement Thursday.

Black Caucus officials made it clear that the size of the Fox News audience was more important than disputes over ideology.

"The CBC Institute is committed to presenting the presidential candidates to the broadest audience possible," Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., the chairman of the institute, said in a statement. "Collaborating with Fox News provides an opportunity to take this presidential election to millions of households."

Color of Change has launched a campaign to let the CBC Institute know that this partnership is not only unacceptable, but embarrassing.
The Congressional Black Caucus is letting us down at a time when Black Americans need strong and strategic leaders more than ever. We are beginning a campaign to make it clear to key CBC leaders, and the voters in their districts, that the majority of us are not with them. We must keep raising our voices, making it clear beyond a shadow of a doubt that Black America is speaking out against this kind of irresponsible and disrespectful representation.

While we work to shame the CBC Institute into dropping out of this embarrassing partnership with a network that consistently denigrates our people, we will also focus on the presidential candidates. The candidates should take the stand that CBC members have been afraid to take-refusing to participate in debates sponsored by a network that is hostile to the interests of Black America.

* Jackson blasts CBC on debate.  From the release:

[Jesse] Jackson said, "I am disappointed by the Congressional Black Caucus Institute's partnership with FOX, and strongly encourage them to reverse that decision.  Why would presidential candidates, or an organization that is supposed to advocate for Black Americans, ever give a stamp of legitimacy to a network that continually marginalizes Black leaders and the Black community? FOX moderating a presidential debate on issues of importance to Black Americans is literally letting the Fox guard the henhouse - FOX should be rejected."

..."Fox has a long history of treating Black people unfairly. They are not a trusted news source for most Black Americans," added Benjamin Todd Jealous, former executive director of the National Newspaper Publishers Associations (NNPA), a 98-year old federation of more than 200 Black community newspapers.

audience size is a red herring
every tv comes with a remote.  if someone wants to watch presidential debates, but they are on another channel, they're not going to say "oh gee, love to see them, but i NEVER change the channel".

I wonder if the institute, or some of its fox-cooperating members, is now receiving "donations" it otherwise wouldn't have without this deal...

Groping,
I keep groping to come up with what reason they might have that's beyond my political ken, but I just can't.

I keep trying to imagine some way they might be able to outsmart Faux News, but I just can't.

I keep trying ti imagine some way Faux News won't end up using and abusing and humiliating them, but I just can't.

All I end up with is seeing this as pathetic. So I can only hope most of all the bad that will come out of this is confined to the bozos in the CBC that thunk this up, and that not too much harm is done to candidates, or rank-and-file Democrats, or anybody else.



i'm not worried about the candidates
because the democrats have refused to participate in faux debates.  who cares about the republican candidates.  the dems will have their own debates elsewhere.

First off
the SC debate, on MSNBC.

Pam, can you clarify something?
WHat relationship does the CBC Institute have with "the" CBC?  Is there much overlap between CBC Institute membership and the CBC?  If there isn't necessarily a close relationship between the two, it would be disappointing for members of the CBC to get a bad reputation because teh CBC Inst. is doing stupid things.

thanks
somehow i didn't manage to drill down through their website far enough.  so the institute is indeed a creature of the CBC.  sigh.  i was hoping the CBC INst was more like candidate incubators that didn't necessarily have such close ties to the legislators once they were elected.  well, all we can do now is sit back and see where the chips fall.
