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.

| David Smith, HRC's VP of Programs, was on The Michelangelo Signorile Show (SIRIUS OutQ - channel 109) on Wednesday, and they went toe-to-toe on the matter of HRC's recent endorsements, notably the nod to Susan Collins of Maine, the lack of an endorsement in the U.S. Senate race, and the Oregon U.S. Senate contest (see clips from their televised debate here).
Smith was also on to rebut the comments of activist and blogger Howie Klein, who wrote a scorching post on the endorsements. It got pretty heated, so stand away from the keyboard lest you receive second degree burns. The interview is in two parts. Mike Signorile has a post up at his blog, The Gist, describing the interview.

| Pam Spaulding :: Mike Signorile interviews HRC's David Smith on the org's endorsements |
The audio from later in the shows this sounds like it was a gas. Oregon gay Democratic activist and founding member of HRC, Terry Bean, called in pretending to be an average caller - and Mike called him on it. Whew.After a few calls critical of HRC, Terry Bean, an HRC board member, called in to the show to defend the group. It wasn't clear that he was meaning to identify himself as associated with the group at first -- he called himself only by his first name, "Terry" from Oregon -- but his use of the word "we" to defend the group soon brought it out in the open, and I asked if this "Terry" was indeed Terry Bean, who I knew as an HRC board member.
The conversation became heated as he was clearly frustrated and angry with me for criticizing the group. It seems in the heat of the moment something slipped out: He said that HRC would not endorse anyone in the Oregon race -- not Gordon Smith nor the Democrat running against him -- and would remain neutral in the fall. And he claimed that the two Democrats vying for the nomination -- both very pro-gay, one of them a full supporter of marriage rights -- "understand" why the group needs to remain neutral.
But why on earth would HRC not endorse a pro-gay Democrat and remain neutral in the race? That's even more indefensible than if they actually backed Gordon Smith. Related:
