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.

Virginia: incumbent state senator and state GOP send out homophobic mailer

by: Pam Spaulding

Sun Oct 28, 2007 at 12:00:00 PM EDT


In the neighboring state to the north, the District 39 race in Virginia is getting ugly, thanks to Republican State Senator James J. "Jay" O'Brien Jr. In a desperate bid to pander to the wingnut vote, he decided that sending out a flyer that says, among other things, that his Democratic opponent
"George Barker wants to take time away from core academic subjects like math, science, and reading to teach children to accept the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender Lifestyle (GLBT)."
It's no surprise that this flyer (PDF) was paid for by the Republican Party of Virginia.

It's clear that the right wing is ratcheting up the homo-hate as Barker has received the endorsement of the Washington Post.
Republican Sen. James J. "Jay" O'Brien Jr. is an affable incumbent, but his scant command of policy and legislative issues has failed to impress.   His Democratic rival,  George L. Barker, a health-care planner, would make a far more able, detail-oriented and effective senator in this district straddling the Fairfax-Prince William line.
Barker also has strong support from educators (I'm sure O'Brien feels they are part of the Homosexual Agenda anyway).

More from the heinous mailer -- he certainly telegraphs his priorities:
George Barker went on to say that he would vote for legislation that would teach Virginia students about the "GLBT" lifestyle during school hours -- regardless of their family's own beliefs. Barker also said he would "guarantee" his support for "GLBT" clubs in public schools.

...George Barker worked very hard in terms of opposing the marriage amendment, and be strongly in favor of gay rights, be [sic] he shouldn't impose his values on elementary school children.
A question for O'Brien - I suppose that kids in your state don't need to know about tolerance and families that are different, you know -- like that of little Samuel Cheney, a resident of Virginia and son of loyal Republican Mary Cheney.

Virginia Delegate Adam Ebbin (D-49 - Arlington County, Alexandria City and Fairfax County) is the only openly gay member of the General Assembly. He has a call out to help George Barker "take out the trash."
O'Brien began his career by touting anti-gay legislation to keep gays and lesbians from serving in the Virginia National Guard. We can not and must not let Virginia Republicans continue to get away with these George Allen/Ollie North/Karl Rove style tactics. Times have changed, and though anti-gay extremism may have helped O'Brien win election in 1993, let's show Virginia that anti-gay extremism can end his career now.

Please help my Virginia Progress Fund PAC combat such hateful tactics by donating on our special web page. I would like the  Progress Fund to be able to present George Barker with a large contribution to help defeat extremist O'Brien. Please click here to help.

Arggg
Sometimes this state just out and out infuriates me.

"I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it." -- Thomas Jefferson

As long as it works ...

... in Virginia, and in most other states, Republican candidates will continue exploiting homophobia.

You could almost say that "Leave No Gay Unbashed" is a Republican slogan.

(Okay, there ARE some Democrats on the wrong side of gay bashing. But the more common failing of Democrats is standing timidly by while Republicans continue their nastiness.)

 



The Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender Lifestyle
Woohoo, the superstitious right embraces inclusivity!  Has anyone come across the "gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender agenda" yet in any of the scare propaganda?

"Our Liberties We Prize and Our Rights We Will Maintain" -- Iowa state motto

I finally got my copy of the Homosexual Agenda
It reads: "get the rest of the world to see us as people, too."

Confederacy envy

Everyone in Virginia knows that the wingnuts here are extra-rabid. They wish they could be as openly racist and homophobic as they could be if they lived in Alabama, but they're frustrated because the pocket of civilization in the northeast corner of the state won't let them.

I've long thought it would be a great idea if Virginia split into the DC-metro area up north and the Confederate-sympathizin' south. NoVA money props up the rest of the state, so I say, if they don't want to join us in the 21st century, let them rot without our tax dollars.
