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.

Another love letter from Pastor Billy Ball

by: Pam Spaulding

Wed Aug 08, 2007 at 11:00:00 AM EDT


Fred Phelps wannabe Pastor Billy Ball, of Primrose, Georgia's Faith Baptist Church is a regular reader of the Blend.

UPDATE: Amber of the Georgia Podcast Network wrote me with something fun -- she interviewed Pastor Billy Ball.

Saw the post on your site about Billy Ball. Last year at ATL Pride, my boyfriend and I (well, really just my boyfriend, while I stood there in awe of the whole thing) interviewed Billy Ball for our podcast. You can listen to it here. Skip to about 10 minutes in if you want to skip past the interviews with other people and get straight to the craziness.
The anti-gay minister sends creative, colorful emails to me every so often and they are batsh*t crazy. The latest is no exception. It is below the fold.

I'm not sure what's up with the running puppy graphic.

Just wanted to add a little spice to your never ending pursuit of Truth ! ENJOY !!

Pastor, Billy Ball - Rom.1:16

Subject: Is AIDS primarily a Sodomite Disease??? Read the Following

The homosexual agenda says that AIDS is not specifically a homosexual disease. They say that it can't be the judgment of God on sodomy because heterosexuals get it too. Is that so???

Homosexuality: Revolution in Ruins
James L. Fletcher, Jr., M.D.

Dr. Fletcher is a graduate of Vanderbilt University School of Medicine and completed a residency in Family Medicine at the University of Connecticut School of Medicine. After practicing in Sparta, Tennessee and Atlanta, Georgia, he became assistant professor of medicine at The Medical College of Georgia in Augusta.

(the following in an exerpt from the above mentioned article)

"The HIV has been isolated from lymphocytes, blood, bone marrow cells, spinal fluid, rain tissue, lymph nodes, semen, saliva and tears, so that multiple body tissues and fluids must be regarded as potentially infective. Yet, HIV, is apparently not spread casually, but rather by intimate contact, usually by sexual intercourse with one who has the disease (or contact with his/her infected body fluids--such as blood and semen) or by sharing dirty needles. These modes of transmission of the disease correlate with those who have been shown in study after study to be at highest risk of contracting AIDS. Thus far, roughly 70-75% of cases have occurred among male homosexuals (or bisexuals) and about 10-15% of remaining cases are among intravenous drug abusers. Others affected have included hemophiliacs (who have received blood products infected with HIV for treatment of their blood clotting disorder), heterosexual (especially female) sexual contacts of those with AIDS, babies born to mothers with AIDS, and a few healthcare workers. Thus, although homosexual activists point to cases of AIDS involving heterosexual transmission of the disease, nonetheless it seems an inescapable conclusion that there is something about the specific sexual practices of male homosexuals that predisposes of this dread affliction. Sobering, also, is the fact that extensive abnormalities of the immune system have been found among "well" homosexual men who did not have AIDS, whereas no similar abnormalities were documented among a comparison group. If homosexual practice apart from AIDS is healthy, why do these laboratory abnormalities exist?"

One of my pals is one of the world's foremost AIDS researchers.

He's one of those guys who's forever flying to Africa.  I asked him why AIDS doesn't infect heteros here like it does over there, given how much fornicating is practiced by America's hets.  He said the virus over there is slightly different and that it's likely a matter of time before het rates of infection increase here.

Of course, Billy Ball might assert that God hates black people as well as gays, which is why God has "targeted" African blacks and American gays.  God also targeted a newborn baby in Duluth yesterday, for that baby was born without a spleen, and a granny in Kansas the day before, whose trailer was obliterated by a tornado, and my Uncle Ned, whose played the lottery for pert near 20 years and never won more than 20 bucks.

For those who assert that God is punishing this person and that, I say, with all due forking of lightning, pish-posh. 



love letters from Billy Ball

I tracked down the article he is referencing here. It is from a "journal" called Biblical Medical Ethics, which says a lot right there. I checked this guy's references, and sure enough, the newest reference was from 1987. During the 80's, HIV did diproportionally effect gay men, but by the end of the 80's begining of the 90's, gay men got on the safe sex band wagon and since then their rate of infection has dropped dramatically, while the rates for heterosexuals have skyrocketed.

 Just a little aside here, if HIV/STD is evidence that God is displeased by gay people, how come lesbians have such low rates of both?

Because lesbians can't have sex

Duh ;-)



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

Good Question

"Just a little aside here, if HIV/STD is evidence that God is displeased by gay people, how come lesbians have such low rates of both?"

 

They can't quite bring themselves to criticize lesbianism too much since it makes up so much of their porn consumption.

My favorite AIDS joke...
If AIDS is God's punishment against the people he(she) hates.....than it only stands to reason that Lesbians must be God's chosen people!

[ Parent ]
Dr. Fletcher...

published this in 1987 in something called the Journal of Biblical Ethics in Medicine, Volume 1, Number 3.  The first sentence (other than a quote from the bible) is "Where is Homosexuality in 1987?"  This 'journal' is published by Biblical Medical Ethics, Inc.  They stopped publishing this journal in 1994 (I wonder why???).  The purpose for Biblical Medical Ethics, Inc. is:

  • to recognize the authority of the inerrant, infallible Word of God over the practice of medicine,
  • to uncover and advocate the biblical principles upon which medicine must rest,
  • to encourage physicians and patients to undertake the prevention and treatment of illness in accordance with Scripture,
  • to challenge existing ideologies which teach the autonomy of man or the sufficiency of reason,
  • to disestablish the mechanistic view of man or any other view of man that fails to acknowledge accountability to God and,
  • to affirm God's provision of mercy through biblical medicine as a secondary agency.

I wonder if Paul Cameron had a hand in this group? 



Reminds me of

diploma mills that boast of being "accredited," but after a little digging it becomes apparent that the accrediting organizations exist to accredit diploma mills.  That is, they are bogus.

Reminds me also of my visit to the Church of Scientology's L. Ron Hubbard Life Exhibition in Los Angeles.  It is rife with lauds of Mr. Hubbard from either brainwashed Scientologists or people who were almost certainly tricked.  It is one of the sickest things I've ever seen.

Re: I'm not sure what's up with the running puppy graphic
Keep watching.  Maybe it'll take a p**s (appropriately) all over Billy's e-mail!

Fletcher and Cameron
Looking through Fletcher's article, I see that he has extensively quoted Cameron.  I'm not surprised.  I think 'rev.' Ball needs to take a bit of a breather from all of his homosexual research which he seems to take such delight in.

Biblical Schmiblical

Dear Pastor Billy Bob...or whatever you are called:

 Did you learn to read Torah Hebrew in seminary? Probably not. Only liberal Northern divinity schools require it. It's a shame that you do not read Hebrew. It's sad that Southern Baptists only read their own translations of the Old Testatment: it is full of mistakes. In Leviticus, the book which you love to quote, in one particular passage, calls "man lying with man" an ABOMINATION. The word for abomination in Hebrew is "schicksa". This word also refers, in modern day Hebrew, to a Gentile woman who marries a Jew.

ERGO...My gay sexuality is EQUAL to a Gentile Woman. ERGO butt fucking, one of my great life pleasures, is EQUAL to any non Jewish woman. Schicksa is as schicksa does! And trailer trash is as trailer trash does. Have a nice day, Pastor Billy Bob!



just cking
can't post in the clinton thread

Pam, you must be doing something right...

...to merit that kind of assinine attention.  Keep up the good work!

 With love and respect from a proud "Whore's Blender"...

 :) 

 

BTW, that extract from the "medical article" just proves that some people should licensed before they try to use science... 



The puppy is smart,
  it is walking in the opposite direction of the Jesus Fish.

If I make sense? it was quite by accident.

Billy Ball and your wife Sasquash

What you don't know about AIDS would fill a Medical Liabrary.

The LIES you are sreading endangers the lives of women, specificly women of color who have GROWING numbers of infections.

I know hating queers is dear to your heart, but just hate the queers, you don't need to spread disinformation about a pandemic.

Sasquatch and the puppy as a replacement for his wife.

Blech.

That's not just ad homming, but ad homming beyond Billy Ball.  So, what happens when Billy Ball sends some more hatemail?  Do we mock his kids?  Do we belittle his grandkids? 

I once thought of the Blend as an exceptionally sweet place, an exception to the general rancor of the Internet.  Of course, there's still sweetness here (and braininess and wit), but why, in a place that's allegedly anti-sexist, does the community permit this misogyny?  It's well-known that if you want to attack a woman you attack her appearance, since a sexist society assigns value to women by their appearance.  But Mrs. Ball didn't attack the Blend.  Billy did.  We could certainly rebut Billy without disparaging his wife.   

Anyway, I've made my point many times and the ad homs continue.  I'm past redundancy. 



[ Parent ]
Which is worse attacking a woman's appearane or lying about AIDS?

I don't claim to be sweetness and light, I'm an alley fighter and I use whatever is handy. If that insults Mrs. Ball, I don't give a sh*t, her husband (with her support) is spreading information which not only lies about "at risk" populations who could become infected, he lies about hazards of living as a gay man, and he dishonors ALL who have died/dying of AIDS. I know a helluva lot more on this subject since I and my current lover both have full blown AIDS, and we've each lost a lover due to AIDS.

So don't preach to me of a relatively minor insult to Mrs. Ball,(btw. have you seen her picture OMG!), I'll kick in the teeth of Billy Ball any way I can.

You verbally attack a woman on the sidelines...

...and you're a streetfighter?

By your logic, if you punch a kid, are you a professional boxer?

If you kick a kitten, are you an Army Ranger?

You have Billy Ball's email.  If you want to attack his position, go for it, but leave his wife be. 

Yes, I saw her photo.  She looks typical for a rural woman of her age.

In closing, I'm sorry that you and those you've loved have suffered so much from AIDS.



[ Parent ]
Billy Ball calls Pam and EVERY woman on this site a WHORE

If you want to tip toe around confronting FILTH like this "Pastor" and get all PC Police on me cuz I make a jab at his wife who looks like Lurch in drag...FINE!

You sit on the sidelines PRIM and PROPER,and don't get in the gutter, but don't criticise how I fight.

 

When you are infested with rats, roaches and maggots like Labarbera, Ball, and Phelps...you better be willing to fight dirty, cuz they sure will.

"race, taste. and History finally overcome....and you ain't there"

where are Fletchers qualifications on AIDS?

The Medical College of Georgia in Augusta,

 

I researched this institution receiving Ryan White Funds SPECIFICLY to outreach to WOMEN at risk, they also received 5 Million dollar grant for HIV/AIDS, maybe the College would like some Congressional investigation into the G*D DAMN erroneous material this professor is spewing in his classes.

AMA should look into this Bozo's qualifications to publish a paperr on HIV/AIDS with NO QUALIFICATIONS on the SUBJECT, or the CDC can look into his qualifications.



"race, taste. and History finally overcome....and you ain't there"
by Tony Kushner


No qualifications necessary

There are no qualifications for publishing in a scientific journal, at least for every journal I've seen. None. Determining if your work is of high caliber, that your conclusions are supported by your work, and whether the paper should be published is the responsibility of the peer review process.  

From a comment above, it sounds like this article comes from an utterly non-scientific journal, so it's not like they would particularly care if his work was valid or not. 



[ Parent ]
The links to this specicic screed on AIDS isn't an active link

The only paper I saw by this James Fletcher Jr. concerned spanking a child in a Pediatric paper.

Yeah this is a specialist in HIV/AIDS!

Go to the body.com and see REAL AIDS information, not this crap Billy Ball is peddling!

"race, taste. and History finally overcome....and you ain't there"

Hey, Rev!
In the last sentence of your excerpt is the question: "If homosexual practice apart from AIDS is healthy, why do these laboratory abnormalities exist?"  Let's apply a little science to this and formulate a hypothesis (which, in case you didn't know, is the first step of the scientific method).  Let's just suppose that the immune system abnormalities came BEFORE any HIV exposure.  Further, let's suppose that these abnormalities make it easier for people who have them to contract HIV.  And finally, let's suppose that these immune system differences are also tied into the biological basis for homosexuality.  Well, there you have it.  Another explanation for your "facts".

And BTW, I didn't know you were a Star Trek fan.  You like to role-play as a Romulan of the 1st Rank of the 16th Plenary?  Is that when you're not role-playing as a preacher?


Good ol' Dr. Fel(t)cher...

So, Dr. Felcher, are hets naturally dirty, disgusting people since they have the highest rates of herpes transmission?

I'm only basing that clear and obvious fact on the preponderance of Valtrex commercials on the teevee, and it's all about them skraight people and their dirty, disgusting habits of kissing with lots of tongue.

Hey, if Dr. Felcher can get his AIDS info from SPIN magazine, then I can make up stats on herpes transmission rates based on the amount teevee commercials dedicated to one medication. Not mean if it's true.

And what the hell is "rain tissue" anyway? I'm all over it. I'm calling in to work tomorrow with an infection of it...whatever it is. "Sorry, boss...rain tissue done flared up again! Cough."



Curses! My million dollar ideas foiled again: "God Bless Your Brand!" http://www.christvertising.com/

My buddy Billy always
makes my day :) He's a very special kind of xtian.

it seems an inescapable conclusion

That sounds very, um... conflicted.  Fletcher's MD does not make him an epidemiologist.  It makes him a really advanced technical support specialist for the body.  Not that there aren't MD's who do great science.  I just wouldn't imagine one of them writing something like the passage Billy quotes.

I just looked, briefly, and found very little in Google Scholar and PubMed about homosexual men and altered immune system function.  I found this article from 92 that presents findings that contradict Fletcher's statement.  The abstract:

This study evaluated the self-reported patterns of handedness among a large subsample (n = 1612) of the gay/bisexual men comprising the Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study (MACS). There was a small but significant elevation in left-handedness among gay/bisexual men compared to available normative data. However, there were no differences within the cohort in measures of immune function, self-reported autoimmune disorders, asthma, or hay fever, although there was an association between handedness and allergy. Performance on neuropsychological tests also did not differ as a function of handedness.
I wonder if that last sentence's finding would show correlation with something as simple as the hand we shake with versus the one we're most likely to rub our eyes or eat with?

Anyway, I think I trust Neuropsychologia a little more than the Journal of Biblical Ethics in Medicine.  A more interesting journal would be Bibical Medicine in Ethics!  Now that I'd read.

Electricity's for light bulbs!


"Pastor" Ball interview begins at 15:56
like watching (listening to?) a trainwreck

Give it up Billy Ball.
The highly profitable gay bashing market is already saturated.  Same as the out of date and dubious literature you attempted to pass off, you're at least 20 years too late in your attempts.
As the old saying goes, "You can't run with the big dogs when you piss with the puppies."


I would rather be hated for whom I love; than loved for whom I hate.

Video for Billy to watch
I just came across this video at Pharyngula and immediately thought of him.  It's a bit harsh but in his and Phelps' case that's all they deserve. 

My America includes LGBT families.

It's a great video.

The guy's wicked smart and wicked funny.

Watch some of the rebuttals. 

In one, a woman says something to the effect: "He doesn't know what he's talking about and he's talking out of his ass."

And that's all she's got.

I love the wicked smart guy's point about faith being used to police actions and thoughts.  It's not just an affectation, like liking striped pants, but sometimes an infection, like using faith to restrict rights, as in the case of DOMA.
