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.

More GOP family values: anti-gay senator on DC Madam's phone list

by: Pam Spaulding

Tue Jul 10, 2007 at 09:00:00 AM EDT


[UPDATE: Jon Swift has a hilarious post about this -- "David Vitter: Another Victim of Gay Marriage."]

Isn't it sweet? The Republican hypocrite parade continues as Senator David Vitter (R-LA), a co-author of the Federal Marriage Amendment, wasn't protecting his own marital vows when he had some sex-for-hire from escort service Pamela Martin and Associates before he ran for the Senate.

Since his name turned up on the recently released phone records, he had to come clean, so to speak. You know the drill -- God and his wife have forgiven him and he's really, really sorry (that he was caught):

"This was a very serious sin in my past for which I am, of course, completely responsible," said Vitter in a statement. "Several years ago, I asked for and received forgiveness from God and my wife in confession and marriage counseling. Out of respect for my family, I will keep my discussion of the matter there-with God and them. But I certainly offer my deep and sincere apologies to all I have disappointed and let down in any way."

...In 2004, Vitter campaigned with a promise of "protecting the sanctity of marriage," and was a co-author of the "Federal Marriage Act" that sought to prohibit courts from interpreting same-sex marriage laws.

"This is a real outrage. The Hollywood left is redefining the most basic institution in human history," he said then.

A little birdie passed this bit of juicy irony on:
In 2000, Vitter was included in a Newhouse News Service story about the strain of congressional careers on families. His wife, Wendy, was asked by the Newhouse reporter: If her husband were as unfaithful as Livingston or former President Bill Clinton, would she be as forgiving as Hillary Rodham Clinton?

"I'm a lot more like Lorena Bobbitt than Hillary," Wendy Vitter told Newhouse News. "If he does something like that, I'm walking away with one thing, and it's not alimony, trust me."

From Vitter's web site:
"We need a U.S. Senator who will stand up for Louisiana values, not Massachusetts's values.  I am the only Senate Candidate to coauthor the Federal Marriage Amendment; the only one fighting for its passage.  I am the only candidate proposing changes to the senate rules to stop liberal obstructionists from preventing an up or down vote on issues like this, judges, energy, and on and on."

Comments from the peanut gallery? See the Freeper reaction after the flip...

Pam Spaulding :: More GOP family values: anti-gay senator on DC Madam's phone list


Actual Freeper Quotes

He asked forgiveness. He got it. Why drag this up now????

Would anyone be interested in setting up a live thread for freepers looking into these phone records?

Sad. Maybe these public humiliations will make others think twice before they do something similar.

Something about his vote against the stupid amnesty bill, most likely. The media and their puppet masters are reeling from the realization that we out here can and do think and that we are growing more unimpressed with them. In fact this type of admission and character reparation was all the public had wanted from the icky former President but the masters and the media still don't get it. They're gonna be pissed to find that this story goes nowhere. More to come, I predict.

Not to excuse sleazy behavior at all- that's a different subject from "why now?", I assume.

This will be the end of his career. Sad. However, if he was a rat it would be a resume enhancement.

...no mention of party. He's a Dem I take it?

Nope, an R with a pretty conservative record to boot.

Is it too late to assume that he was just polling his constituents?

Well, I am so confused. How could he need to ask forgiveness when the owner of the escort service says nothing illegal was going on? /sarcasm

Well, after all, he *is* from Louisiana. I wonder what everbody else's excuse will be?

I had hoped they'd catch a bunch of RATS and RINOS, but NOOOOO, all they caught was a Republican. LOL We can't win. I beginning to believe that the GOP is a party of corruption! That said, wasn't he one of those who voted for shamnesty along with Bush and the other traitors?

If somebody's smart enough to serve in the U.S. Senate shouldn't he be smart enough to use a pay phone?

Yes. MESSAGE TO VITTER: Sleep on your stomach.

Of course, I don't believe that matters between adults such as prostitution should be illegal, but it is and the politicians who vote on the laws should be exemplary in obeying those laws. I'd guess that with his talk about God and sin, this guy Vitter is publicly and fervently opposed to prostitution - if so, he's a hypocrite of the first rank.

Thats the thing if these guys weren't preaching on family values it would not be so bad. That was part of the issue with Clinton.. he ran as a family values dem, and saying he was a great family man. Also pushing sexual harrasement laws on the rest of us. If there is one thing people universaly hate its hypocracy. Even my independent friends who were worried about global warming pretty much lost interest when it turned out Gore was the worst carbon offender they'd ever heard of. They brought it up with me.. oh did you hear about Gore? Hard to take him seriously now was the gist of what they said since then.

All the hoopla ab out hypocrisy is just doublespeak for the fact that liberals have no morals.

It's hard to take any of these "public servants" seriously. Hypocracy is a fundamental to politics. Those who claim altruistic motives--especially the ones who "want to give back"--are the worst. These people are driven by self-interest. And these are the people who love to impose laws on everyone except themselves--on "the little people" (that's us).

Why is public the place to discuss a politicos sex life ?

Why do we care if a politico visits a prostitute when the vast majority of them ARE prostitutes in one way or another?

It seems like many conservatives are only a few steps behind in the no morals race. And gaining ground.

I hope the Pubs somewhere are sifting through these phone numbers, because I can assure you that the Dems are, looking for Republican officials of any sort. We better be looking too to check out any Dem gov't types who may also have participated in the "good life", so we can fight fire with fire. Dem Underground is probably already having at it. Or Huffington blog, etc.

The Supreme Court has ruled that sex in the privacy of one's home between cornholeing adults is a constitutionally protected act. It is a constitutionally protected act shielded by the "penumbras" of privacy. I live in a country, Germany, where a " poof" is an entirely legal enterprise. One Cannot Drive into our county seat without crossing over the river Inn and observing immediately to the left a building with a giant symbol of a heart affixed to the outside wall. This is the local whorehouse. I am told that it is decently run and hygienic. It is only after years of living here that I find this establishment as unremarkable as do the rest of the good burgers in my very conservative and Catholic area. Why is it that the right of privacy has come to hold such a distorted meaning?

Stone him
Next...

Nah
Make him watch some William Higgins DVDs.

Or Cadinot.

Kind of like Malcom McDowell in Clockwork Orange.

"In order to maintain an untenable position, you have to be actively ignorant."  The Colbert Report


[ Parent ]
Yep. He's an adulterer. Where's my stone?
Now, imagine that there is a God and that this God gives a shit about us and that this God manifested beside this adulterer, in whatever form pleased it, whether it's bearded patriarch or Glenda, the Good and bubble-traveling Witch from the Wizard of Oz, or perhaps a garden gnome.

I'd like to then ask this lying adulterer to reassert that God forgives him, with God right there beside him.  I'd like this marriage-breaking-in-private-marriage-"protecting"-in-public liar to speak for God beside God.

More and more, fundamentalism strikes me as being about supreme arrogance more than a supreme being.  Fundies decide, through the magic words of being born-again, that they get eternal life.  Fundies decide whom God forgives and God always forgives them.  Always. 

Fundies are Gods, or as Anne Lamott once wrote, "You can safely assume that you've created God when it turns out that God hates all the same people you do."


[ Parent ]
Thank god I'm safe. "My god" loves everyone I hate.
Are you sure you're not conflating fundies with the idea of a god (of love)?

[ Parent ]
Supreme arrogance
I was going to make the same point, Holly--less articulately and using vulgar language.  Thanks for getting here first and doing a better job.  :-)

Honestly, how does someone who claims to believe in God so blithely dare to take God for granted in such a breathtaking way--to know the mind of a supreme being and to award themselves his forgiveness, a get out of jail free card for anything they do?

On a related note, I'd like to believe that this freeper comment was parody: "He asked forgiveness. He got it. Why drag this up now????"  But I don't suppose it was. 

...

Vitter's phone number: (202) 224-4623

In case anyone wants to register their thoughts on his fake religiosity with his office staff.

Oh, Sportin', your righteous rage is elegantly compact:
"Honestly, how does someone who claims to believe in God so blithely dare to take God for granted in such a breathtaking way--to know the mind of a supreme being and to award themselves his forgiveness, a get out of jail free card for anything they do?"

I know some fundies and they can't eat cranberry sauce without drawing attention to their devotion and alleged eternal gratitude to Jesus Christ, their personal Lord and Savior.  Even "personal" signals their self-aggrandizing, as if Jesus is their personal assistant. 


[ Parent ]
Hope Wendy carries out threat
Said she would be more like Lorena Bobbitt.  Headlines "Severed penis discovered on Capitol steps" !!!!!!1

Make alot of noise. Life is short.

[ Parent ]
I completely agree
These fundies like to PRETEND that they hold a literal interpretation of their Bible. As such, they claim to follow this ancient law to the letter, which allows them cover when they rail against gays and lesbians. You wanna play your whole life by Leviticus? Then you play ALL of it by Leviticus. You don't get to pick and choose which parts. It's all or nothing.

So if you REALLY follow that archaic law from that ancient book, follow it completely. Aldulterers must be stoned to death. Simple as that. No wiggle room. You either follow the law or you don't. Vitter needs to be dragged before the male elders of his town and stoned to death, along with all the women who weren't virgins on the night of their marriage, all the gays, all the kids who disobeyed their parents, all the people who ate shellfish or wore cloting of mixed fiber, and on and on and on.

I am guessing when the stoning is finished, there won't be anyone else to throw stones anymore. At least they will have been consistent..........

A society without religion is like a maniac without a chainsaw.


[ Parent ]
Wake the kids phone the neighbors...
I?m sure the victims of hurricane Katrina will take comfort in the fact that he's taken full responsibility for his ?sin.?

Apologies
He apologized to God, his wife, and his constituents.

But did he apologize to the women whose steaming, corrupt sheets he visited, furthering their degradation as he led them along the paths of unholy lust?

My guess is not so much.

"In order to maintain an untenable position, you have to be actively ignorant."  The Colbert Report


Yep.
According to the Bible, everyone that the adulterer touches is made party to adultery.  They're all adulterers.  And has he fessed up to what he did?  Isn't confession part of forgiveness?  Did she suck his cock?  Did he lick her pussy?  Did she pee on him?  Shit on him?  Did she put him in a cage or make him wear a diaper?  My two friends in BDSM assert that the more powerful the man, the more likely they are to crave being the slave. 

Don't his constituents have a right to know how many kinks are their rep and what he's trying to counter-balance in the bedroom?  After all, Fred Phelps and his millions of fundie followers (Don't believe for a sec that Phelps' beliefs are limited to his family/church.  He speaks for millions of Americans who hate homosexual citizens and vote for their second-class citizenship.) are obsessed with our sex lives.  Here's a chance for them to be obsessed with one of their own.  Just what did this guy do in adultery?


[ Parent ]
This guy deserves immediate damnation:
"Why is public the place to discuss a politicos sex life ?"

And his tailored Hell deserves to be an eternal loop of Rush Limbaugh, circa the Clinton years, pontificating about Bill and Monica.  The volume level will be 750,000 decibels.


For a New Orleans LA Senator..
Really gives new double meaning to "keeping your priorities straight."

I am the only Senate Candidate to coauthor the Federal Marriage Amendment; the only one fighting for its passage.


A Heterosexual Ted Haggard?
Okay, there have been no allegations of meth usage, but this is pretty damn similar to the Ted Haggard situation. A family values spouting, homo-hating wing-nut leader is exposed a purveyor of prostitutes?

Yeah, the "sanctity of marriage" is definitely safe with these adulterous hypocrites in charge.


The short list
After all these years, the short list is Republicans who are not hypocrites.


"In order to maintain an untenable position, you have to be actively ignorant."  The Colbert Report

PS
I guess the truth is that the GOP is the party of psychodrama and projection.  Their massive and consuming campaign to police people's morals is really about nothing more than reigning in their own--to them--shameful impulses. They're not really afraid of the fall of society and corruption of public morals--they really are terrified of their own impulses and find them disgusting.

"In order to maintain an untenable position, you have to be actively ignorant."  The Colbert Report

I think that's so. Well put.


[ Parent ]
It is only disgusting to them...
...when they get caught.

If I make sense? it was quite by accident.

[ Parent ]
I disagree
Look at the way they revel in sexual detail of the grossest sort and paint apocalyptic portraits of what unbridled sexuality or homosexuality will do to the world.  They find sex disgusting and terrible--especially their enjoyment of it.

"In order to maintain an untenable position, you have to be actively ignorant."  The Colbert Report

[ Parent ]
Psychodrama and projection
Yes, I agree.

And it's not just externalization of their own conflicts, but those of unfortunately many of their voters.  The unctuous piety works because there are so many weak-minded Americans who wouldn't recognize genuine ethical decisionmaking if they tripped over it.  They love the magical sin/forgiveness model because it's so much easier than doing the right thing in the first place.

The fundie GOP know this, and are first-rate manipulators and demagogues when it comes to pushing the buttons of their target suckers.

Sportin', the fundie relationship with God reminds me of a child's...
...relationship with Tinker Bell.  Remember when Tink was dyin' and Tink could only live if the children believed in her and said so, again and again? 

So it goes with fundies, who assert that God just wants them to believe in Him and love him.  God's a pretty needy sky-dude then, if God JUST WANTS farily hairless apes to believe in Him and love Him.  In such a framing, it isn't God who's all-powerful: it's the fundies.  They decide whether they'll dispense that all-powerful love to that all-needy God.  They've got God by the short and curlies.  Fundamentalism isn't just infantile.  It's infantilism grown to monstrous proportions, where one isn't just the center of the Universe, but even God pines for their affection.


[ Parent ]
Guess who he endorses for 2008?
  In March 2007, Vitter announced his support for Rudy Giuliani's presidential bid. Vitter will serve as the southern regional chair of Giuliani's campaign.

  Anyone suprised?

If I make sense? it was quite by accident.


Campaign slogan
Vote for Giuliani.

He supports marriage so much he's done it three times!"

Ever have a spittin' mad day?
Today is such a day for me.  The average American wedding costs $27,000.  That's $27,000 worth of flaunting privilege.  Then they have to have their own parades, further flaunting that privilege: honking their horns and displaying their excesses of liquor, consumption, and faux virginity, since only 5% of brides are virgins, thus making 95% of them profligate fornicators.  And those who believe that they're moral because they're not homos and those who vote to protect their privilege, while we pay for it, both by what we don't have and through our taxes that support the inequity, are Ted Haggard's moral equivalents.

Homocanes
"Unfortunately, it's the crossroads where Katrina meets Rita," said Vitter. "I always knew I was against same-sex unions."

Damn!  It must be the fault of the subverted commie pinko National Weather Service.  Why can't we have more male hurricanes meeting more female ones?  Then the world would be set right.

Odd storm out
They actually alternate male and female names for successive storms.  So if two female hurricanes were able to cross paths in spite of the system, love was in the air. :D

Vitter is the whore-monger who keeps on giving
Now a Louisiana Madam has also named Vitter as one of her Johns, too.
I heard local Louisiana talk radio discussing Vitter, and many voters would still support him, I'd bet if he'd had a hustler, (and who knows if the DC madam might have had some boys in her stable) the LA voters wouldn't vote for him ever again.

I understand he said...
David Vitter, 1998:
"I think Livingston's stepping down makes a very powerful argument that Clinton should resign as well and move beyond this mess," he said. [Atlanta Journal and Constitution, 12/20/98].

I guess he is above all this though!?!
