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.

Arkansas dad claims his sons 'disturbed' by lesbian book in library

by: Pam Spaulding

Sat Apr 21, 2007 at 00:00:00 AM EDT


Somehow, while looking for books on military academies, the two teen sons of Bentonville Arkansas resident Earl Adams just happened to come across a book on lesbian sex. Because of this, the father wants the city to pay him $20K for "pain and suffering" that his "traumatized" sons experienced. (365gay):
"[They were] greatly disturbed" said Earl Adams his letter to the city. "[We had] many sleepless nights in our house."

Adams wants $10,000 per child, the maximum allowed under the Arkansas obscenity law. Adams also wants the city to fire library director Cindy Suter.

The book, "The Whole Lesbian Sex Book" by Felice Newman was moved to an inaccessible area of the library after Adams first complained, and then removed altogether following a second complaint from the man.

In a letter to Mayor Bob McCaslin, Adams said the book is "patently offensive and lacks any artistic, literary or scientific value."

The city attorney said Adams had no case, but would you be surprised that the fundies are ready to sue and raise hell if the book is placed back where the boys "discovered" it?
"Any effort to reinstate the book will be met with legal action and protests from the Christian community," Adams stated in an e-mail to the Morning News newspaper.

I'm sure it casued many sleepless nights.
Not nightmares I can assure you. :)

I know for sure that there are better things to worry about in AR.
Perhaps someone should teach the kids how to use the card catalog and then they wouldn't stumble upon lesbian sex whilst hunting for military academy books.

they didn't sleep because
  they found out their mother checked the book out a week before, and Earl was grilling the kids wondering where his wife was.

If I make sense? it was quite by accident.

Traumatized
He could tell his sons were traumatized because when they got home from the library, they locked themselves in their bedrooms and moaned.

bwaaahahahaa!
i'm sure it was no different from that time they found his personal video collection. 

The gays stole my lunch money

[ Parent ]
ah well
Blessed are the easily offended, for they shall find things to offend them.
Really, I'm sick of outrage junkies who want to control the discourse, if not what we think. 
I mean, I'm outraged that he has gotten this far in attempting to control what other people read.

New Ways for Parent to Teach their Kids Sex Ed?
or how to teach children how to Lie & use Extortion Techniques towards city government? The City should tell Adams to buzz off.

Wonder when someone will ask if the sons are gay. Seems like
being greatly disturbed over finding out lesbians were having sex could do that to a young gay teen...

Call Brandi Swindell!
This is a job for Princess Barbie Talibania.  First it was The Joy of Gay Sex in the Nampa, Idaho, public library, and now this!

Don't these librarians realize that some people think gay sex is icky-poo and don't want to have to tell their children that some people have sex in icky-poo ways?  Gosh, the world would be so much easier if those pesky gay people would just go back to being invisible!

hypocrites
When people get outraged like this father did, you can't help but wonder what they're exposed to at home.  I'm being judgmental here, but those kids probably are allowed to watch whatever they want to on television and Daddy doesn't care. 

If his sons are so delicate that they couldn't sleep for nights,
they're far too fragile for a military academy.

[ Parent ]
Price Check in Ailse 5
Ahh.  Bentonville.  World headquarters of Walmart.

There are just too many ways to go with the whole military academy thing.  Not that military academies are ever homoerotic or anything like that.


I was thinking
that my husband would lock himself in the bathroom with that book.  Gawd.

I guess Daddy was organizing his would-be troops for an assault on our freedom to read what we damn well please. 


Their agony is making the whole house shake
I had a lot of sleepless nights when I was a teenager too.  Never thought to sue anyone over it.  Isn't that a case of having your cake pie and eating it too?

Simple solution: Bentonville should close the public library system.
If that is done, nobody would have a chance to be offended by books they might find there, and it would save the taxpayers lots of money.

This manufactured controversy is silly.  I really do hope that Adams sues the public library, because, after his suit is thrown out as being utterly frivolous, he will be liable for the library's attorneys' fees.

Actually, I'm surprised that the spawn of such a man was in the public library at all.


The Wal-Mart of Hypocrisy
How much do ya wanna bet that - when he isn't having his own personal 'sleepless nights' thinking about lesbian sex - this guy rants and raves about 'frivolous lawsuits' launched by lib-rul trial lawyers?

Wow.
I loved the total sanity in the comments.

[ Parent ]
All the good lines are taken.
I should have suspected as much.

Poor kids
Someone needs to teach them how to actually use the library because obviously they don't realize that "military academies" and "lesbian sex" wouldn't even be in the same section.

Poor uneducated children...


Library tour
This would be a good time for some local GLBT folks to take copies of various pages from numerous gay sex books, including pictures, and randomly place them in the books of the religion section. :)

That used to happen in the gay section of Barnes & Noble back home.  The fundies had a Friday night free-for-all where they stuck bible verses in the pages of the gay books.  Some actually "replaced" our books with books from the religion section, particularly those that had anything to do with having a satisfying sex life or marriage.

It was pure entertainment, let me tell you.


And
they thought this had WHAT to do with military academies?  The kids picked this up of their own free will because they were interested.
