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.

McCain rejects endorsements of John Hagee and 'spiritual guide' Rod Parsley

by: Pam Spaulding

Fri May 23, 2008 at 06:00:00 AM EDT


Now that he's going to be the GOP's nominee, John McCain finally "discovered" how radioactive Rod Parsley is and repudiated him as well. There will definitely be a fundie eruption over this one.

Yesterday John McCain finally gave the boot to batsh*t fundie Pastor John Hagee of the 17,000-member Cornerstone Church in Texas after audio was released of the televangelist saying that Hitler had been sent by God to help Jews reach the Promised Land via the Holocaust. This was nothing new, however, so one wonders what rock the Arizona senator and his staff have been hiding under:

[I]n his 2006 book "Jerusalem Countdown", Hagee proposed the theory that "anti-Semitism, and thus the Holocaust, was the fault of Jews themselves -- the result of an age old divine curse incurred by the ancient Hebrews through worshiping idols and passed, down the ages, to all Jews now alive." He also wrote that "Most readers will be shocked by the clear record of history linking Adolf Hitler and the Roman Catholic Church in a conspiracy to exterminate the Jews."
Of course it would be interesting to know why this particular insanity crossed the line for McCain, since he had previously refused to reject the endorsement of Armegeddon proponent Hagee, who has condemned Catholics, gays, women, blacks and more from the pulpit and on video.

We've been blogging about the juicy-mouthed Patriot Pastor for a long time now. Apparently this influential nutbag has finally caught fire on the blogs and forced McCain to repudiate him yesterday as well.

More below the fold.

Pam Spaulding :: McCain rejects endorsements of John Hagee and 'spiritual guide' Rod Parsley
Rod Parsley is a televangelist, for goodness sake. You can't tell me that McCain's people were not well aware of insane on-air bleatings like this (that made the rounds on YouTube):

"This so-called hate crimes legislation would preferred status to people based on entirely on who they choose as a sexual partner. What if they change their mind the next night!"

"Why is marriage under attack?!...Why is the family coming under such brutal attack from the forces of darkness..."

"I will lift my voice against THE AGENDA of America's tortured and angry homosexual population..."

"In essence the Supreme Court of the United States on June 26, 2003, legalized the perverted act of sodomy. And we said nothing..."

"This is not about homosexual rights or lesbian rights...this is about THE DESTRUCTION of the VERY COVENANT (organ music rises up in the background as he waves his finger desperately) They are seeking to "redefine" marriage. In other words, they are intending to PERVERT God's original intention!"

Honestly, this guy is so off the rails (but has incredible political sway, having supported Ken Blackwell's run for governor in Ohio), that he seems easy to dismiss; that McCain drop kicks him now is strategic; I doubt he cares one whit about Parsley's nonsense, but he needed this man's voter base to cross the primary finish line.  

When I wrote this post last night, the news about the repudiation of Parsley's endorsement hadn't broking and I expected Parsley, who saves much of his spittle for homo-tirades and anti-Muslim rants, wouldn't cross McCain's threshold for offensiveness.

The Arizona senator, with an appearance on Ellen and now these moves, is a clear campaign for the Mighty Middle voters. It's also a gamble because it just makes the Arizona senator look more craven -- and more likely that The Base will stay home as he tries to hoodwink independent voters into thinking The Maverick is a moderate.

Repent! Repent!

OMG, and the most popular show in America today is--?

The beauty of this is
that it definitely weakens the Republican's ability to make Jeremiah Wright an issue....

Not to mention
I bet Hagee's church's 20,000 members are probably a little pissed that their leader's been disrespected. Think they'll work for Obama's election or sit this one out?

[ Parent ]
Think "Constitution Party"
In view of Hagee's views, I can't see any of The Faithful supporting Obama. Did notice last week, however, that the Constitution Party -- a truly scary group despite the name -- is getting talked up on religio-political radio as an alternative.

Either way -- supporting a fringe candidate or sitting it out -- wouldn't be bad news.

Didn't the Catholic League
just say that Hagee was fine now that he apologized to them?
Leaves Bill Donohue with a bit of egg on his face..

I think there's more under the top layer of dirt here
An article posted at CNN yesterday on the Hagee rejection quoted McCain:
"I have said I do not believe Sen. Obama shares Rev. Wright's extreme views. But let me also be clear, Rev. Hagee was not and is not my pastor or spiritual adviser, and I did not attend his church for 20 years. I have denounced statements he made immediately upon learning of them, as I do again today," McCain said.

Then he turns around and renounces his spiritual advisor.

Astounding bad timing?  Or would shining a flashlight on Ron Parsley come up with some very interesting information?

Seriously, though
I expect a little consistency from people with delusional systems. This guy has said very contradictory things:

The Holocaust was due to Jews being cursed for idol worship.

and

The Holocaust was God's will because he used Hitler to create the State of Israel (Step one towards Armageddon).

Well, Hagee my friend, which is it?

And about that idol worship thing, which version of the Bible have you read? One you wrote yourself?  Because they were so over idol worship.  I wonder, are you?

Someone should tell all these televanglists/Church of Prosperity dudes...

Trent Franks on C-Span
By chance I caught a few minutes of this idiot representative from Arizona this morning.  Anyone in his district has my sympathies.  In addition to claiming that in 30 years history will look back and realize what a great president Dubya is, he stated that no one is a bigger friend to the Jews than John Hagee.  Although he didn't hear what Hagee said that caused McCain to dump him, he was sure than the good reverend was just misunderstood.  Oh, and every problem in the world is the fault of Democrats.


Lock and Load
A couple of years ago Parsley (whose show I watch now and then, for the sheer sleaze value) launched an anti-gay campaign called--and I swear I'm not making this up--"Lock and Load."  His sermons promoting it were accompanied by all the usual anti-gay calumnies, backed by lots of really ominous music.  And he enjoined all his followers to work with him to "Lock and Load" against homosexuals.  If that isn't an incitement to violence, not to say murder, I don't know what is.  That's the kind of sick bastard McCain has been trafficking with.

When he was called to account on the clear implications of his campaign and its title, Parsley played dumb, claiming that he was just following Scripture and had no idea why anyone would think a phrase like "Lock and Load" had anything to do with violence.  Hey, he loves gay people and just wants to show us how to lead happy lives.  Right.


Cynic, n.  A blackguard whose faulty vision sees things as they are, not as they ought to be.  
-Bierce, The Devil's Dictionary


Maybe he can point us to
the passage in the bible that discusses Lock and Load.

As an aside, the church I was raised in used grape juice for communion. A woman left it out of the fridge one week and it started fermenting. The elders were FURIOUS and banned her from ever preparing the communion again. Even though I was young I thought, "How Stupid!" Unless people had refridgerators in biblical times, it's a safe bet they drank fermented grape juice. Gotta love the logic within the Church of Christ (non-denominational).

Pastor Rod
I live about three miles from Pastor Rod's KKKrazy KKKompound.  Not only is it a megachurch, but it's also a K-12 school, and there's an associated Bible College (WTF?) nearby.

I generally give the whole place the finger when I drive by, which is rare, since I try to avoid that stretch of road.  It creeps me out.


of course there's a K-12 school
Since it's impossible for someone to be "born" a christian, they have to recruit. Those poor children.

Anti-Semitism has been a basic Christian value for 2000 years
It was only removed AS a Christian value because Hitler brought it to its logical, psychopathic conclusion. And it's not over, no matter what nice white Americans and Europeans say; there are people, lots of people, in Eastern Europe, Asia and Africa right now who differ from the Nazis in no way but cosmetically and lacking the machinery of a developed market economy to carry out their evil wishes. What are the Catholic Church doing as Berlusconi reestablishes fascist values of race hate at their VERY DOOR? Have you any idea what will become possible once the oil and water dries up? Mass-murder. Say it. MASS-MURDER. the consignment of millions of people to death and degradation to protect the comforts of the few.

The men in dresses bleat their shit but they'll still cuddle up to murderers in the end.
