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.

John McCain forced to denounce racist, homophobic member of Virginia leadership team

by: Pam Spaulding

Mon Oct 06, 2008 at 13:00:00 PM EDT


After a Florida middle school teacher uses 'n*gger' in the classroom to describe Barack Obama (and isn't fired), who knows how this is all going to escalate. Wonder no more - look at what was tapped out on the keyboard of Bobby May, who is treasurer of the Buchanan County (Virginia) Republican Party and the (now-former) county's representative on McCain's Virginia leadership team (h/t NotLarrySabato), in an article in the LAT:
A local newspaper columnist, in a spoof of Obama's platform wrote in one recent piece that the Democrat would hire the rapper Ludacris to paint the White House black (a reference to a pro-Obama song by Ludacris), and divert more foreign aid to Africa so "the Obama family there can skim enough to allow them to free their goats and live the American Dream." He joked that Obama would replace the 50 stars o the U.S. flag "with a star and crescent logo," an Islamic symbol, an that his policy on drugs would be to "raise taxes to pay for Obama' inner-city political base."

The columnist, Bobby May, is also treasurer of the Buchanan Count Republican Party and was listed in a July news release as the county' representative on McCain's Virginia leadership team, though he said his column reflected his views alone, and he denied it was racist.
When they knew the sh*t was going to hit the fan, these were the statements released -- first the standard non-apology mea culpa:
"I offer a sincere apology to anyone that I may have offended with anything that I've written when expressing my personal opinions. Effective immediately, I have resigned my position as McCain Campaign Buchanan County Chair." -- Bobby Lee May
And then McCain camp ran for cover:
obby Lee May's comments about Barack Obama are offensive, insulting and have no place in political discourse. Mr. May's comments in no way, shape or form reflect the views or opinions held by John McCain or his campaign. The McCain campaign wholeheartedly disavows Mr. May's column. Mr. May is no longer a part of our campaign organization." - Gail Gitcho, McCain mid-Atlantic spokesman
The fact of the matter is, people like May represent part of The Base of the GOP, the voters McCain is counting on to go to the polls for him. Why do I get the idea that if May had the common sense not to air his bigotry out in the public sphere, McCain and Co., if alerted privately, would have been content to have a racist, homophobic person heading up an effort on his behalf.

Let's take a look at the whole horrible document below the fold.

I particularly like the added flavor of homophobia tossed in -- he associates same-sex marriage with coddling "sexual perverts."

The (clarified) platform of Barack Hussein Obama
The Voice
by Bobby May, bobbyleemay@yahoo.com

In response to criticism that I favor John McCain for president and only present "one side of the issues," I am listing for your consideration the platform of Barack Hussein Obama as best as I can figure it out after venting all of the hot air, straining out the honey and removing the smelly substance similar to what the old bull left behind.

I think I've did (sic) a pretty good job of boiling his positions down to their very essence for the sake of clarity.

HIGH GAS PRICES:  Inflate your tires.

OBAMA'S LACK OF EXPERIENCE:  Inflate his ego.

ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION:  Learn to speak Spanish.

TERRORIST THREAT TO AMERICA:  Learn to speak Arabic.

IRAQ:  Establish time table to turn tail and run.

HEALTH CARE FUNDING CRISIS:  Don't get sick.  And raise taxes.

ENERGY SOLUTIONS:  NO coal mining.  NO oil drilling.  NO nuclear power.  Use solar panels and wind turbines to power cell phones and iPods; walk everywhere you go, buy a bike if you have any money left after huge Obama tax increases implemented.

NATURAL DISASTERS:  Raise taxes.

JOB CREATION:  Raise taxes.

REPARATIONS TO BLACK COMMUNITY:  Opposes before Election Day and supports after Election Day.

FREEDOM OF RELIGION: Mandatory Black Liberation Theology courses taught in all churches--raise taxes to pay for this mandate.  Put Rev. Jeremiah Wright in charge.  Condemnation of homosexuality from the pulpit will become a Class 1 Felony.

HOMOSEXUAL MARRIAGE:  Raise taxes.  And coddle sexual perverts.  Give tax breaks for NAMBLA membership fees.

SOCIAL SECURITY:  Raise texes.

PEBLIC EDUCATION:  Raise taxes.

NATURAL RESOURCES:  Raise taxes.

DRUG CRISIS:  Raise taxes to pay for free drugs for Obama's inner-city political base.

SPACE EXPLORATION:  Raise taxes to send all Republicans to Mars.

ABORTION:  Anywhere, anytime, for anyone for any reason up to 9 months and send taxpayers the bill.  Encourage partial birth abortion.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT:  Keep buying foreign oil and sending billions to Muslim countries that hate us and want to destroy us.

TAXES:  Soak the rich; everyone is hereby declared 'rich' for taxing purposes.

2ND AMENDMENT:  Under Obama will only apply to gang-bangers, illegal aliens, Islamo-Fascist terrorists, and Senator Jim Webb's aide.

REST OF U.S. CONSTITUTION:  Appoint George Soros to update it for 21st Century, adding Socialist/Communist "grand ideas" and deleting First and Fourteenth Amendments upon advice of Buchanan County Democratic Party.

FOREIGN RELATIONS:  Appoint Rev. Al Sharpton as Secretary of State, Jesse Jackson as UN Representative and let Bill Clinton handle all other "foreign relations" ... as long as Hillary doesn't find out!  And raise taxes.

THE WHITE HOUSE:  Hire rapper Ludacris to "paint it black."  Taxes to be increased to buy enough paint to do the job plus spray-paint for graffiti.

THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES:  Raise taxes to send $845 billion, send most to Africa so the Obama family there can skim off enough to allow them to free their goats and live the American Dream.

POLITICAL CORRUPTION:  Yes.  (Must in future be based upon the Chicago model; no other restrictions will apply as long as Mayor Daley's machine gets a percentage.)  And raise taxes.

NATIONAL ANTHEM:  Change to the "Black National Anthem" by James Weldon Johnson.  And raise taxes.

VOTING RIGHTS:  Extended franchise to the French, English and especially the Germans due to their level of political sophistication and admiration of "The New Messiah."

STATEHOOD:  Extend statehood to The District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Kenya, Cuba, Palestine, Freedonia, Bugtussle and "The Free State of McDowell."  Then raise taxes.

U.S. CURRENCY:  Update photos to reflect U.S. diversity; include pictures of "great Americans" such as Oprah Winfrey, Ludacris, Sheila Jackson-Lee, Paris Hilton, Britney Spears and Louisiana Congressman William Jefferson (Obama's new Secretary of the Treasury--50 Cent refused position after learning that he would lose his crazy check if he accepted the nomination).  And raise taxes.

U.S. FLAG:  Replace 50 stars with a star and crescent logo; red stripes changed to green to represent Obama's tree-hugging radical environmentalism and his lack of experience.  Flag label (sic) pins, having become a substitute for "real patriotism" will henceforth be banned.  And raise taxes.

U.S. MILITARY:  Confiscate all weapons, substitute water pistols, pea shooters, and bows with suction cup arrows.  Replace U.S. flag on uniforms with peace symbols changing uniform color grom green to pink and abolishing the "Don't ask, don't tell" policy, replacing it with "A queer in every foxhole and a camouflage sex toy in every backpack" requirement.  Condoms will be issued instead of bullets and brotherly love encouraged.  Barney Frank will be the new Secretary of Defence (renamed Secretary of Peace and Love) and Rosie O'Donnell, Ellen DeGeneres, Lindsay Lohan and Rick Boucher will be made 5-star generals.  And raise taxes.

*  *  *  *  *

If Barack Obama a/k/a "The Great One" or "The New Messiah" takes issue with any of the above then I dare him to meet me on County Talk next Friday to debate his plans to divide and conquer America and change Liberty and Freedom to Socialism and Communism.

I'm so tired of these juvenile denials of racism when it's as blatant as this (notice he has no problem being a homophobe). Exactly what, in this man's book, would qualify as racism? Burning a cross? Tying a man to the back of a truck and driving until his body parts come off? Calling a women's basketball team "nappy headed hos"? You have to wonder.

The word "racist" has become so toxic that no one, including Mr. May, wants to claim ownership of it. I say take back that word Mr. May, own it, love it and embrace that label, that inner bigot and tell the world why you are right to call yourself a racist. Make the case. This is a landmark election so let's just separate the wheat from the chaff.

***

And while we're at it with race-baiting and homo hate, let's through in an oldie but goodie --  John McCain's brother deemed progressive Northern Virginia "communist country." And irony abounds...

Joe McCain, speaking at an event in support of his brother, called two Democratic-leaning areas in Northern Virginia "communist country," according to a report on The Washington Post's Web site.

"I've lived here for at least 10 years and before that about every third duty I was in either Arlington or Alexandria, up in communist country," Joe McCain said at an event in Loudon County, Va.

Joe McCain then apologized, but the remark drew laughter at the event, according to the report.

Virginia has long been a Republican stronghold in presidential elections, but Democrat Barack Obama is running even or ahead of McCain in recent state polls. Obama is being helped by fast-growing communities in the Washington, D.C., suburbs of Northern Virginia, which tend to vote more Democratic than other parts of the state.

One of those areas is Arlington, Va., where John McCain owns a condominium.

This is EXACTLY Why We LOVE what YOU DO!!!
To get this OUT OUT OUT around the country and the blogosphere! To make people own up to their bigotry ... and suffer the consequences (hopefully). Thanks, PAM et al.

It's the Hammer of JUSTICE,
It's the Bell of FREEDOM,
It's the Song about LOVE between,
my Brothers and my Sisters
...All over this Land.


It's amazing what dreadful, leaden, tedious nasty stuff these people consider funny.
The one thing that liberals have is the humorists. Stroll on over to FreeRepublic for a selection of their little quips and sallies: kindergarten puns, AIDS yuks, 17th hand t-shirt slogans and racist drivel.

Nary a grain of wit between them. Thank you Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert (who they still think is one of them, the dolts).


Buchanan = a scary place
I live in Virginia, and have had to do business in Buchanan County before.  Be wary of this place (the county seat is in Grundy) deep, deep in the coal belt.  At the last Marriage Amendment vote here in VA (2006), Buchanan ranked as the least gay-friendly jurisdiction in all of Virginia (91% voted for the Marriage Amendment).

Surprisingly, their Congressional Rep (Boucher) is a Dem - he is linked with DeGeneres, O'Donnell and Frank) in May's rant above.


Yep...All the Good Christian Replublicans
who hide behind the Painted-over stars and stripes.  It's raining, and the paint is washing off!  I suspected the crap was gonna hit the fan the closer to election day it gets.  The true colors and characters are showing!

I'm just amazed that they actually write and email this stuff for everyone to see!


polarity
Thanks for the continuing revelations Pam.   Yours is now my favorite blog site designated in my bookmarksbar.
A week back I went to a visitation at a funeral home in Western Maryland (definitely below the Mason-Dixon Line) and as I came out of the facility
people with a McCain/Palin sticker had just parked next to my Obama/Biden marked car.   They were looking aghast at my stickers and when they saw me (Senior citizen, fat, bald, stooped, white) unlock my car they had a wide eyed
WTF look.   Gotta love democracy.

Rural VA the subject of a good book, "Deer Hunting with Jesus"
by Joe Bageant. Reporter goes back to the hometown he left at age 18, talks with a lot of people. It's sympathetic to these people, although showing the warts including racism, and gives some insight into why they think and vote as they do. The people of the western mountain counties of VA are very insular by choice, poor education, and distrust of outsiders (often with good reason). Think Lynddie England and the rest of her Abu Ghraib Nat'l Guard unit of the torture photos.

These racists are limited in lots of ways. It doesn't surprise me at all that racism is very persistent in isolated communities with little population movement in or out.


Wow. Just wow.
Sounds like the mKKain Kampaign to me.

Please, please, please
I hope Olberman gets wind of this, defininite "Worst Person in the World" matterial.

Si Hoc Legere Scis Nimium Eruditionis Habes


Excellent Post
What is scary and at the same time amazing is that this guy saw nothing wrong with submitting this article. The lack of consciousness by self-righteous racists is astounding. They really don't get it.

Growing up in the South in the 50s & 60s, I had a front-row seat to this kind of ignorance. It made me sick to my stomach then, and it still does today. When are we going to get past all this stuff??

WTF....in 2008....
The leadership of any party or any candidate's campaign should set clear standards regarding the non-acceptance of racism, sexism, homophobia, and religious bigotry.  That the Republicans nationwide and the McCain campaign have allowed this sh*t to run rampant just beneath the surface proves how unqualified they and JSM are to lead a multicultural 21st Century nation.

I see this in rural Ireland as well
on the very few occasions when I've gone back to where I am from originally.

There is a certain xenophobia and reactionary conservatism as well as a defensiveness that arises from a sense o inferiority that no one will admit to...

Bobby May and The "Voice"
I went to high school and graduated with Bobby May... he comes from a family heavy into politics and Republican.  I have a fondness as a former classmate for Bobby... BUT...
 Bobby should be ashamed of himself! But I hold "The Voice" responsible for this trash... their entire newspaper is nothing but GOSSIP, RUMORS, and SPIN... Regardless of who you are voting for...  McCain or Obama... this is an embrassment for the good people of Buchanan County!  

 


Grundy
Unfortunately I go to school in Grundy.  I see the moron every other day sitting on the side of road with his McCain signs.  As an openly gay woman, his comments remind me that I can never let my guard down around here.
