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.

Scandal-ridden homophobic D.A. in 'Lawrence v. Texas' case resigns

by: Pam Spaulding

Wed Feb 27, 2008 at 07:30:00 AM EST


"I think that this Court having determined that there are certain kinds of conduct that it will accept and certain kinds of conduct it will not accept may draw the line at the bedroom door of the heterosexual married couple because of the interest that this Court has that this Nation has and certainly that the State of Texas has for the preservation of marriage, families and the procreation of children. "Even if you infer that various States acting through their legislative process have repealed sodomy laws, there is no protected right to engage in extrasexual - extramarital sexual relations, again, that can trace their roots to history or the traditions of this nation."

-- Houston District Attorney Chuck Rosenthal, in arguments to the Supreme Court in 2002's 'Lawrence v. Texas' case.
Oopsie. Chuck unfortunately got into a bit of a hypocritical mess after the discovery of sexually explicit videos on his office computer, along with racist jokes and sexy emails to his executive secretary. (Newsweek):
Last December, as part of a federal civil rights lawsuit into how justice is meted out in the county, he turned over the (partial) contents of his government e-mail account. And what a batch of e-mails it was. Black ministers called for the Republican to resign because of racist material, including a cartoon depicting an African-American suffering from a "fatal overdose" of watermelon and fried chicken. There were adult video clips and love notes from Rosenthal to his secretary, his mistress during a previous marriage. "I love you so much," Rosenthal says in one. "I want to kiss you behind your right ear," he says in another. "Go spend time with your family," she admonishes him back.
Now listen up you Republican Sexual Hypocrites out there -- when you get busted doing hanky panky on the office PC, you can't delete the contents -- they are subject to e-discovery. Hand Rosenthal the Royal Duncecap, since he thought his massive e-deletions were not going to be detected, then he lied about it. So he's out of a job AND faces going the clink. So sorry...  
Pam Spaulding :: Scandal-ridden homophobic D.A. in 'Lawrence v. Texas' case resigns
In the wake of the e-mail revelations, local GOP leaders forced him to abort his re-election bid. Then, on Feb. 15, after Lloyd Kelley, the attorney in the civil rights case, brought a lawsuit accusing him of drinking on the job and "incompetence, or official misconduct," Rosenthal resigned. But his problems may not be over. As eye-opening as his e-mails were, it's the ones that disappeared that might cause him more trouble yet. Rosenthal deleted thousands of e-mails (even going so far as to delete them from the trash folder) that investigators in the civil rights case wanted; his actions could lead to obstruction of justice charges (the messages were destroyed after he had received a subpoena for them, he admitted in court). And during a contempt of court hearing earlier this month, Rosenthal appeared to contradict his sworn statements about the e-mails, leaving him open to perjury charges. The hearing was abruptly adjourned at the request of his lawyer and is scheduled to resume March 14. If found in contempt, the former top prosecutor could wind up in jail.
How do you think Rosenthal explained his behavior? It sounds all too familiar...
In an earlier statement to the press about the content of the e-mails, Rosenthal said, "I deeply regret having said those things ... This event has served as a wake-up call to me to get my house in order both literally and figuratively." On Feb. 15, in response to the new lawsuit, he blamed a combination of prescription drugs for causing "some impairment" of his judgment.

Hat tip, Dan.

Trash folder
Deleting them from his trash folder isn't going to help him much. When you empty the trash folder, it doesn't actually remove the files from the hard drive; it only de-indexes them so they don't showing up in the listings. An unindexed file remains on the drive until it happens to be overwritten by a new saved file. Until then, the deleted file can still be accessed using special software.

Ultimate irony
And with astonishing chutzpah (and a remarkably ironic twist), he attempted to get out of having the emails revealed by invoking "zones of privacy" established by... wait for it... Lawrence v. Texas, the very case he prosecuted!!

For details, see

This is the sort of thing too weird for fiction!


Thanks
We really do owe Chuck our thanks.  He prosecuted Lawrence so incompetently before the Supreme Court that the result was a broad overruling of Bowers.  A more strategic prosecutor might have been able to convince the majority to go Justice O'Connor's preferred route, an Equal Protection decision, which would have been terrific but nothing close to the victory ultimately acheived.  

He was up against a legal giant
Former Irish President Mary Robinson, also former UN High Commissioner of Human Rights, was Reid Professor of Law at Trinity in Dublin.

She authored the Amicus Brief quoted extensively by the USSC in Lawrence.

Why can I not picture President Bush having as spectacularly successful a post presidential life as Madame President Robinson has lived?

I tell you Chica that no greater abomination exists than women denying their spirit of sisterhood and instead becoming the oppressor. -Rebeca, Universidad Complutense de Madrid

It was funny
that on the day he packed up and actually left his office, the news cameras first spotted him leaving in his car with his office squeeze, his secretarty ... uh, secretary.  As soon as he saw the cameras, he turned around, drove back into the dark parking garage and the re-emerged a few minutes later, alone in his car.  I'm guess that the drugs probably hadn't worn off yet.

We all owe him a debt of gratitude
if Texas had been represented by someone competent, we might not have won Lawrence.

He was so outclassed arguing before the supremes that it was embarrassing.


With enemies like this, who needs friends?
It's like they're doing our work for us.  

Here's what I find about compromise--
don't do it if it hurts inside,
'cause either way you're screwed,
eventually you'll find
you may as well feel good;
you may as well have some pride

--Indigo Girls


Something to be Glad For (Pun Intended)
At least he didn't have any gay stuff on his hard drive.  He's so creepy I'd hate to think a guy would sleep with him.

Against stupidity, even the angels fight in vain. --Schiller
