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.

Open thread

* Fantasy GOP candidate Fred Thompson announced he's in on the Tonight Show. His logo says "Security * Unity * Prosperity". Wow. That's t-h-r-i-l-l-i-n-g.

* Joe is liveblogging the Republican debate over at AMERICAblog.  Love this reaction to Thompson:

9:04 PM: Brit Hume opens the festivities by asking about Fred Thompson - who blew off the debate for Leno. Gives them all a chance to take a whack at Thompson. McCain makes an age joke, yuk...and tell Fred "get out in the arena." Mitt is just laughing at his own stupid joke. God, he's annoying. Rudy thinks Fred did a pretty good job playing his part on Law & Order. What a bunch of clowns.
* It's an open thread, but I couldn't resist this snapshot from Queen Drudge. This is from an AP story discussing the new book about Dear Leader's presidency by Robert Draper, "Dead Certain: The Presidency of George W. Bush." (written with his permission, so you know it is a whitewash).


"I've got God's shoulder to cry on. And I cry a lot. I do a lot of crying in this job. I'll bet I've shed more tears than you can count, as president. I'll shed some tomorrow."

Man, you're not the only one crying.

And how about this believable winner:


"I wouldn't be president if I kept drinking. You get sloppy, can't make decisions, it clouds your reason, absolutely. I still remember the feeling of a hangover, even though I haven't had a drink in twenty years."

* From the "has he lost his mind" (yes, long ago) department: Overheard in Australia, Bush tells minister 'we're kicking ass' in Iraq.

Not so Sure about that, Pam
I've only read excerpts or about the book, but I have seen him interviewed, the author, I mean, and he has been pretty candid.  He doesn't say Bush is "steadfast," he says what some people see as being steadfastness can also be seen as stubbornness--that's not a white wash.  I can't recall other things the author said, but he seemed pretty honest.

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

Agree - the book isn't a whitewash
I'm waiting for our library to get copies so I can read it.  According to Newsweek, the Bushies are not happy with this biography at all:

http://www.msnbc.msn...

Indications are that the writer presents an honest sketch of the President.

...for just before President Bush -- then Mr. Bush -- decided to stop drinking.  If we can keep him drinking, maybe we can just stop him from becoming President Bush!"

These tears dry on their own

Calling all Blenders!

In your lives, have you ever met anyone who bragged about how much he or she cried?  I haven't. In my experience, people have done the opposite, either not wanting to talk about it, or they've been ashamed in the moment ("I'm so sorry I'm crying") and try to stop, or say something embarrassed (or surprised, maybe) like, "I just couldn't stop crying."  I'm not encouraging those atttiudes, just remarking on them.

What does it say about a man that he has to boast about crying: "more tears than you could count." 



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

it is
pretty incongruent with the image he and his team have spent years selling ("kicking ass"; "bring em on"; the cod enhanced flight suit; chasing the press corps with various vehicles; having a beer with; etc.).  Or, maybe it's not.  Maybe he wants us to see him as a Wallace from Braveheart type - he's so macho that of course he can cry without being a sissy.  He's much closer to a drunken Gibson carrying on to the police than he is to a Wallace.

Mostly, the quote sounds like a liar trying to sound sincere. 

I'd add that humans are animals with crying included in our function. It's natural.

Pam, question
I've been eagerly waiting for an open thread to ask this. 

Will the upcoming Americablog2.0 feature you as a regular? You would be a great addition to that site (I know that because you have been a great addition for a month now).

Electricity's for light bulbs!


Americablog stint

N8nyc: I was asked to contribute while John was out of the country (he actually posted more than I expected!), not to come on board as a permanent contributor. My stint Regarding AB 2.0, I don't know what's in the works for the relaunch. 

It's been interesting seeing the responses to some of the same posts I put up here vs. ones from the crowd at AB.



[ Parent ]
how so
ok now you've got me all curious!  what are the main differences between responses here and there.  i must confess that i've never gone to AB.

Well. my vote
is for you to be a regular contributor.  I hadn't been reading ABlog as much as I used to and I no longer comment there too often either.  But, it was great reading your stuff there.  I had forgotten how much I like AJ and Joe too.

I read the comments on a few of your threads. People seemed receptive.  It's definitely a different mood over there though.  Commenting's a bit more like a sport. More trolls too.  Did I miss a huge flame war?

Eeew!
I still think that he looks like he is getting blown in the bottom photo.
That said, here's even more evidence that he's prone to wishful thinking and doesn't really have a grasp on reality.
http://www.salon.com...

My America includes LGBT families.

That man is filth.
Bush claims, in that forthcoming biography, that he is deliberately playing Iraq for political capital, maneuvering it carefully so that presidential contenders in 2008 will be forced to contend with it.

He is using wholesale slaughter for political purposes.

Everything he has ever said is filth.

Everything he ever will say is filth.

Everything he has ever done is filth.

Everything he ever will do is filth.

George W. Bush is human filth. A worthless shitstain on the diaper of the nation.

I was pleased when Falwell died. Bush? I'm gonna throw a massive fuckin' week-long party, assuming there'll be a US left in which to celebrate. And I will go to his grave, and I will piss on it.
