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.

Breaking: Clinton campaign manager 'throws in the towel'

by: Pam Spaulding

It's hard to know unless you're on the inside whether this was voluntary or involuntary. I guess the realization that the campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination isn't going to be wrapped up soon has begun to settle in. A shake up has been in order for some time; I would think any campaign dealing with unexpected losses would have had one by now.  (MSNBC):
Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton has replaced campaign manager Patti Solis Doyle, naming longtime aide Maggie Williams to the top job.

Solis Doyle announced the shift in an e-mail to the staff on Sunday.

"I have been proud to manage this campaign and prouder still to call Hillary my friend for more than 16 years," Solis Doyle wrote. "Maggie is a remarkable person and I am confident that she will do a fabulous job."

Spinning a shakeup can be difficult, since no one in a campaign wants to communicate that the staff changes indicate failure or shortcomings of any kind in the campaign. Therefore, the public statement regarding Solis Doyle's departure isn't surprising; even still, what's leaking out indicates power struggles to turn things around. (ABC):
After Clinton lost the Iowa caucuses, Williams was brought in to help manage the campaign. Campaign insiders say the move took power away from Solis Doyle.

Many on the campaign underline that family considerations also played a role in her decision. The mother of two young children, Solis Doyle is like many in the campaign who had expected the nomination fight to have been wrapped up one way or another by Feb. 5, Super Tuesday, and are exhausted and somewhat demoralized to think this struggle might last weeks or even months longer.

The statement that Camp Clinton thought it would be all over last Tuesday says a lot about expectations about what Campaign 2008 was going to look like. As I blogged yesterday, those who wanted it sewed up for Hillary Clinton really did all the "right" things in a traditional campaign -- courted the purported minority movers and shakers, glad-handed the embedded party establishment figures, used traditional fundraising channels. What could possibly go wrong?

In this topsy turvy environment where every sure assumption has proven to be only a stab in the dark, the Clinton (and the Obama) camps have encountered surprise after surprise. The only difference is that at this point, Clinton's been on the receiving end of unfortunate surprises at the polls.

Damage control ?
Solis Doyle's mother and father were illegal immigrants from Mexico according to a biography on Wikipedia.  
Frank Rich's column in the NYT was critical of the Clinton campaign stiring up racial bias against blacks.  New campaign manager Williams is black, which now shoots Rich's argument in the foot.

I disagree
Having a minority campaign manager or aides doesn't mean that a campaign won't try to use racial, ethnic, religious or any other bias to pander for votes.  For them, it's all about winning, not how they win.  Rich's article was slanted, but he pretty much nails the fact that Hillary decided to trade Black votes for White voters who are afraid of "the scary Black man."  This isn't the first time this tactic has been used in politics, and unfortunately  it probably won't be the last.
