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.

Florida: Four teens beat, attempt to drown, black college student

by: Pam Spaulding

Tue Sep 25, 2007 at 19:00:00 PM EDT


Why?
Four teenagers have been charged with a hate crime, accused of the beating and attempted drowning of a black college student at Haulover Beach Park Marina over the weekend.  After calling him the N-word, the teens beat Florida International University freshman Stephen Barrett with a baseball bat and tried to drown him in the Intracoastal Waterway, Miami-Dade police said.  The suspects in the attack range in age from 15 to 18. All had attended a keg party at an island in the middle of the Intracoastal. About 1 a.m. Sunday, Barrett and two other FIU dorm mates were on a boat headed back to Haulover Marina when the driver of the boat said it was overloaded.  ''Get off the boat, N-----,'' the teens said to Barrett, according to police reports.

After that, Barrett and his dorm mates got off and waited for the next boat. When they did get back to the marina, the thugs were waiting for them with baseball bats. According to the Miami Herald, Barrett was knocked into the waterway, and the teens held his head under water. 

It should be noted that Barrett's friends were white and Hispanic, but the thugs went right for Barrett with the racial slur then beat them all -- guilt by association since they were with a young black man.  It makes me sick and sad to hear about young people full of such hate. 

Have we learned nothing?

Troglodytes are immune to shame
particularly when Trog #1 is still in the white house.

The Bush's tacit endorsement of bigotry has left a compassion vacuum that no one is filling; the result is that we're socially backsliding into the 1950s.

Just like all the right-wing wackos want.

I agree
with one minor exception: we're backsliding into the 1850s.

Hate Crime With Intent to Kill...

One strike and you're out.  Life in prison, no possibility of parole.

 

I think it's time. 



Absolutely.

With intent to kill, they're outta gas. 

And this story is messed up!  Guess it'll get blamed on the alcohol.

just so disgusting and disturbing.

I heard 6 positive things coming out of Flor-DUH
  Me, my two daughters, and two beagles. and the roar of my truck crossing the state line for the last time!  :)

If I make sense? it was quite by accident.

LOL!
So to what do you attribute the mean-spiritedness of "The Sunshine State"?  I really don't understand.  Is it just a function of being part of the south?  Or too many conservative blue hairs down there?  Sand in the watercress sandwiches?  What?

My Flori-Duh Story

Last year I went to Orlando to hang out at the amusement parks with my friends from the UK.  We climbed aboard a bus to head to the Universal Studios park when some yokel plopped down next to us.  He kind of gave us the stink eye, but engaged us in conversation, trying to figure out what the story is involving us.  When I spoke, he jumped upon my Midwest accent, and pretty much wanted to know what I was doing hanging around a pair of Brits.  I explained our friendship, and at one point, he interjected, "You know, we fought WARS against them, you know.  We had to fight for our independence."

 My British friends were gobsmacked.  They snickered.  I said something like, "Yes, well, since then, we have fought alongside of them in quite a few wars, so I guess we're even," then broke off conversation. 

 I was never so embarrassed to share a continent with another human being in my life.

Predictions

I am just sickened by this.  What lame defense will they offer?  My bet is that they'll claim Barrett threatened them first, or made a pass at one of them.  They'll say that they're not racists, that their actions were in no way racially motivated, that they were acting in self-defense. They will feel no remorse, will act like victims, will wear nice little suits in court. They'll pin their underage drinking on the adult who sold them the liquor or on the 18-year-old.  The courts will go easy on them because they're white and young and just being boys, and justice will go unserved once again in the south.  Anyone who protests the verdict will be personally threatened by David Duke and other white supremacists on a public website.

 

BTW, check out the heartwrenching article about Elizabeth Eckford, one of the Little Rock 9, in Vanity Fair online.



Say Hello to Jim Crow Time Again

The entire Republican and conservative movement is built on Confederate Family Values.

They are racists, Misogynists, Anti-Semitic, Homophobes to the core.

 The only thing that puzzles me are the Uncle Tom Black Ministers who are so ready to say "Yes Massa to them in the name of homophobia and the all might god of Moonie bucks.



I was with you until
..."Moonie bucks"? I don't get it.

Fact of Flor-DUH,
  They don't have many protections for hate crimes, and if it is shown to be a hate crime, good luck.  Vey few areas have city or county ordinances with hate crimes protections.
Okeechobee  County just had an apeals court hearing for a GSA at the local High School, yes they won, but it will go to a Jeb Bush filled Supreme Court.

  And Flor-DUH figured out how to control the money, Raise the tax and insurance rates in those democratic voting areas, to supress the amount of money going to Democrats.

  I am GLAD I left when I did.

If I make sense? it was quite by accident.


Some values
How does a young adult turn into a violent racist?

This makes me sick too.  I hope the hate crime charge sticks and they are held accountable.

Sadly, with this administration, the current SCOTUS configuration, and an ineffectual Senate, it's hard to hope for anything on a federal level that will earnestly attempt to reign in the Confederacy in local areas where it's strong.

Electricity's for light bulbs!


Pam thanks for the info
I've linked to you in my own post at Booman Tribune on this story comparing the deadfly weapons allegedly used by the Jena 6 (their shoes) with the ones employed by these kids.

it took me a while
but it finally sinks in that what is especially vile about this case is that the haters waited for the 3 guys to cross the water.  there can be no bogus twinkie defense, no bogus gay fright defense - no defense at all.  this was pre-meditated brutality.  if they had a valid complaint against the 3 guys, they had plenty of time to drum up the cops while waiting for them to arrive via the boat.

it shudders to make me think this, but sometimes i long for "eye for and eye" punishment.

."Moonie bucks"? I don't get it.
Moon's Unification Cult is giving bunchs of Black Churches big bucks to support Bush and the Republi-Nazis as well as to persue their homophobic public positions.

interesting

most of the perps, based on their last names, were hispanic and north african (possibly moroccan). one had an italian last name. great. minorities are beating each other. self-hating gays are beating other gays. ugh.

 

 



So I'm wondering...
...when is the DA going indict these thugs for "attempted murder" like the black kids were in Jena, LA? These losers will probably get off with a small fine and a slap on the wrist.
