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.

Michael Savage: no apologies for autism remarks

by: Pam Spaulding

Mon Jul 21, 2008 at 15:30:00 PM EDT


Should we be surprised at this cretin's defiance? He's only backtracking on his claim that 99% of the cases of autism are invalid -- that was "a little high."
Michael Savage, the incendiary radio host who last week characterized nearly every autistic child as "a brat who hasn't been told to cut the act out," said in a telephone interview Monday morning that he stood by his remarks and had no intention of apologizing to those advocates and parents who have called for his firing over the matter.

...On his program lastWednesday, Mr. Savage suggested that "99 percent of the cases" of autism were a result of lax parenting. He told his audience: "They don't have a father around to tell them, 'Don't act like a moron. You'll get nowhere in life." He added, "Straighten up. Act like a man. Don't sit there crying and screaming, idiot.' "

Asked Monday if he actually believed that 99 out every 100 cases of autism was misdiagnosed, Mr. Savage conceded that figure was "a little high." "It was hyperbole," he said.

..."He characterizes children with autism who are very, very ill - disabled children - as essentially bad kids; the only thing wrong with them is they have parents who don't discipline them," said John Gilmore, executive director of Autism United and the father of an 8-year-old diagnosed with autism. "That completely misrepresents what is going on with children with autism."

Autism United held a press conference today to announce a national protest against Savage in San Francisco (Savage's hometow) on July 23 with autism groups and parents from across the nation.
"Those of us who know more about autism than Michael Savage have a responsibility to call him out on this issue," Congressman [Mike] Doyle (PA-14)added.  "If I were a radio station that broadcast his show or a company that sponsored it, I'd certainly reconsider my association with it, and if I were a parent of an autistic child, I'd certainly demand that."

I'd like to know who in hell ever disciplined Michael Savage.
Because obviously his behavior is a cry for attention from negligent parents who should have told him that: 1) No, Michael - your peepee isn't golden; and 2) Not everyone really wants to know what you think; and 3) Dammit, kid - don't you ever THINK before you open your mouth?

I don't think it is the autistic children who lack the discipline - it's the crazy-ass loons who somehow managed to be put on the radio instead of a mental institution.


Umm...
...On his program lastWednesday, Mr. Savage suggested that "99 percent of the cases" of autism were a result of lax parenting. He told his audience: "They don't have a father around to tell them, 'Don't act like a moron. You'll get nowhere in life."

Well obviously Michael's father didn't get the "Don't act like a moron." thing across to his own son.  Wait, maybe Michael is wrong!  Maybe you can act like a moron and still get somewhere in life (or at least make a living out of it).  Although it wouldn't be the kind of life I would be proud of.  


Savage has a mental disorder.
I agree with Will on this one.  Michael's father told him not to act like a putz or an idiot.  When Michael Savage became "conservative", he turned into a putz and an idiot.

I was going to post this earlier, but was so pissed off that it would become incoherent.  It's bad enough that he targeted GLBT, liberals, Muslims, atheists, and some Republicans, but this has gone too far.  It's worse than Rush Limbaugh talking smack on those with Parkinson's disease.

Has anyone told Jenny McCarthy?
She has been a rabid autism activist all year.

She would get plenty of attention directed at this asswipe.


Or Dan Marino or Doug Flutie...
I'm hoping this story will continue...

Please, Keith Olbermann- here's tonight's "Worst Person In The World"!!!

I've given this some real thought...
A fitting solution would be for this asshat to have to go through a month in the US - without being allowed to utter a single word, or write down his desires.

Let him experience what these kids feel for their entire lives.

Question:  What does an atheist do when they fall to the floor and start "speaking in tongues"?

Answer: Get a CAT scan.


Honestly, Snook
I completely agree with the sentiment, but I wouldn't wish that hell on anyone. It's heartbreaking to witness. Thank goodness our kiddo has communication skills finally... I can't imagine the anguish of never hearing your child speak.

But if more awareness of autism/PPD-NOS, Asperger's, other spectral developmental disorders, etc comes out of this and the discussion elevates to a greater national level of noise, then maybe that can affect some positive changes.

I hope so...

Thanks
have kept down club soda and fresh steamed zucchini; think I'll be fine and foolish again tomorrow!

Jean has spent the day coloring me lots of pictures of flowers, getting me a stuffed bunny to cuddle, checking my forehead and kissing the top of my head. She is so remarkably compassionate and understood why there was no trip to the local beach today.

So get stuffed, Mike Savage et al- my "brat" is a pretty terrific person and I wouldn't trade her for the world!!

I'm glad this pr*ck stood by his insane and bigotted remarks
Now fewer companies will want him associated with their products. Weiner may have violated People with Disablity Act...which is taken DEADLY SERIOUS, you aren't just bashing fags anymore Michael.

Didn't I read
where it's coming up on the 18th anniversary of the disability act?

What better way for Talk radio to celebrate it than to get rid of him.

These are the mouth pieces of the Republican Party II
  If you aint perfect in every way in their eyes, no matter what, this is the treatment you will get from them.

 Just look at how the Bush Administration treats the wounded troops coming home from Iraq and Afganistan.

 

If I make sense? it was quite by accident.


Micheal Savage
It's unbelievable what this __ is saying about Autistic Children. I am sure that some of the major sponsors would be interested in hearing what their advertising dollars are suporting.

Hopefully each of you will take the time to contact these sponsors of the Micheal Savage's Radio Program and express your opinion about his comments.
I am sure that Jenny McCarthy & Jim Carrey along with the other celeberties that attended the fundraiser for Generation Rescue on July 20, 2008


One of my twins has autism.

'Nuff said.

Imagine
If people got this incensed over the CONSTANT barrage of anti-gay diatribe that has hurled from his hideous puss through the years?

Absolutely agree
If there had been the same level of outrage, support and protesting, perhaps his show and others like his would have been pulled years ago. Since that wasn't the way it happened, these shock jocks have continued to push the boundaries of creating controversy/ audiences. Why ANYONE would listen to any of these shows astonishes me.

BTW, CNN is finally covering this story. Just saw the "teaser" a minute ago; first they need to talk about jalapenos being the cause of salmonella...

Yes indeed
As a parent of an autistic son (17) I have been in a literal rage over these remarks since I heard of them. But Signorile, at the end of his show today, made the same observation you did and it is spot on. Hate against one group reflects hate against all. He should have been shit canned many, many years ago. That it took an attack on innocent children and their parents to get corporate sponsor(s?) like AFLAC to pull their sponsorship is telling. Maybe someday we'll live in a world where all dignity is respected.

[ Parent ]
Completely agree
just like Autism if you aren't gay yourself, you know someone who is.  What I think is utterly mind boggling is that these people can't live by their own rules.  "Judge NOT, lest ye be judged"

[ Parent ]
Truly proving
Once a Weiner, always a weenie

CNN just reported
that AFLAC has pulled its sponsorship!!

This is huge and a correct move on their part.

Sponsors
Get your message to the big Sponsors and they will follow AFLAC's role. Hit him in the pocket book.

The Petition
He is such a moron! You can't fake autism, it's too complex! Something else "Dr." Savage doesn't know about autism, a very simple fact about people who have autism ... they don't lie. Research that fact a.hole, oh, that's right, you don't research first, you just talk out your ass.
Here is a link to the petition to get this jerk fired. Please sign ...

Thanks for the soap box Pam!
Shell

Whatever it takes
to get this asshole off the air is fine with me. I just wonder why his bigotry against autistic children is the one that might get him canned?

Savage DUMPED from seven MS stations....YES!
"Super Talk Mississippi, which owns and operates seven conservative radio stations in Mississippi, issued a press release today stating that Michael Savage and his radio show Savage Nation had been canceled effective immediately. The radio broadcaster said Savage had crossed-the-line with comments he made about autistic children." For those of you living under a rock, Savage - who's savagely anti-gay - said that 99% of autistic children are just brats. [On Top]
just saw it at Qweerty.com

Glad I wrote his sponsors!
