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.

William 'Deep Freeze Dollars' Jefferson indicted

by: Pam Spaulding

Mon Jun 04, 2007 at 17:00:00 PM EDT


U.S. Rep. William Jefferson (D-LA) is going to experience a little freezer burn in court. (CBS):
The 94-page indictment, handed up in the Eastern District of Virginia, includes charges of racketeering, solicitation of bribes, wire fraud, money laundering, obstruction of justice, conspiracy and violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.

...The investigation of Jefferson centered on accusations of bribery by accepting $100,000 from a telecommunications businessman, allegedly to be used to bribe Nigerian officials. FBI officials said they videotaped the congressman taking the cash and later found the $90,000 in a box in the freezer of his Louisiana home in August 2005. 

The bribery booty was neatly stored in his freezer in "various frozen food containers" and in aluminum foil.

Two of Jefferson's associates have already reached plea bargains and have been sentenced; the congressman has publicly denied any wrongdoing. Jefferson actually won re-election despite the scandal swirling around him at the time.

Jefferson, who landed on Rolling Stone's 10 Worst Congressmen list, also famously used the National Guard troops to check his property and rescue his personal belongings from his New Orleans home after Katrina struck -- while people were dying at the Superdome. A military vehicle was commandeered to pull up onto Jefferson's front lawn so he wouldn't have to walk in the water.

Here is the indictment. Jefferson was also named one of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington's Most corrupt members of Congress.

In the racist "we all look alike" department: Faux News, in its coverage of the Jefferson indictment, actually shows footage of Rep. John Conyers (D-MI), Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee!

William Jefferson: The GOP's favorite Democrat
If he can do it, they can too!

What the hell was I doing in Oaxaca in 1992, on the eve of the Zapatista revolution?

Pam
I don't want to sound like I'm kissing your ass, but you are without doubt the most fair big blogger on either side.  I know you have extremely strong political beliefs, but I am very impressed you have posted this story without comment or excuse-making.

That's why I like to hang out here
Pam is extremely fair and balanced (unlike some news outlets).  Wrongdoing is wrongdoing, whether it is a republican or a democrat, and Pam is more than willing to raise a red flag when it occurs.

I believe, as I think Pam does, that civil discourse is not only needed but demanded by a free society.

Mr. Jefferson has a longstanding history of "shady" activity, which unfortunately is all too typical around New Orleans.  Even though he was reelected to Congress, he has to play by the rules of Congress, not New Orleans.  It is his time to answer for his actions.

Indeed!!
Bullshit is bullshit.  If he's corrupt, prosecute his ass, convict him, get him out of the House, and jail him where he belongs!

Likewise
That is exactly why I like this blog.  Pam is always fair in her postings. My two favorite sites on the net are Pam's and The Huffington Post. The rest of the time I surf the Wingnut world looking for idiocy (like trolling for trout in a fish hatchery).

The place is way better than the DU
which has become almost a hate site.

[ Parent ]
There's only ONE way to stop him
The only thing that's ever worked against Mr Freeze... is a millionaire playboy loner.

All I need is money, and I'm the guy


Finally
It's about F'ing time he got indicted!

Disregarding race or party, corrupt is corrupt!
