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.

Obama's 30-minute prime time event

by: Pam Spaulding

Wed Oct 29, 2008 at 20:35:17 PM EDT


The actual program, which I'm watching as I'm typing this, is a low-key, very personal and practical (and well-shot) affair, with a good portion of it featuring real people and their real problems, such as a retired man who had to take a job to help care for his spouse.  There is no narrator; Barack Obama speaks directly to the viewer; he spoke movingly about his mother, her struggle with cancer, and the importance of family.

One of the striking elements as they show images and video from rallies is the enormous numbers of people who turned out to see him -- tens of thousands, all over the country, people of all ages, colors and economic backgrounds.

Obama directly addresses the Iraq debacle, his plan to rebuild the military, and shows him with military families -- no one can say that he's ceding an inch of ground to McCain and his perceived advantage on the issues.

He closed by cutting into a live speech to a packed house in Florida.

I can't imagine how McCain/Palin could pull off a positive, detailed direct closing argument asking for your vote like this message Barack delivered. They've been so negative, so personal in their attacks, and so fuzzy (or even lying) about the issues, that a soft-focus soft-sell couldn't be believable. Also, given the GOP has been at the helm as disaster after disaster (man-made and natural) has occurred in the country, there's not a lot they can point to as a fresh approach.

McCain has zero warmth factor anyway, just imagine him trying to hug on some people of color.

UPDATE: Here is the 30-minute program that aired tonight.

I believe
Obama is the catalyst for change that America desperately needs. I am proud to support him. He will make an awesome president. He has been where many of us are, or have been. He is real. He is the leader we need to lead this country. Yes, we can!!! VOTE!!!

makes me prouder
that I went to his rally today in Halifax park

excellent
It was better than my idea.
I would have just spent the half hour with Barack and Michelle picking out an adorable poodle puppy for their daughters.

Very well done,
  I watched and was amazed at the production.  

 I wonder if the religious right will jump all over that Obama read the Harry Potter Books to his children.

If I make sense? it was quite by accident.


Harry Potter Books
I thought the same thing. It's sad that we can tell what they hate before they spew it!

[ Parent ]
He could be baiting them with that
If they do make a big deal about Harry Potter, it will give the undecided voters more proof of just how nuts they are.

just saying.....LOL

[ Parent ]
I don't think mentioning Harry Potter was a mistake or accidental
It is another factor which ties Obama's parenting to the parenting of millions of other Americans who bought and read with their kids this series of books.
The few dim wits who want to make Harry Potter some evil threat, weren't going to vote Obama anyways, they are the HARDCORE bat sh*t crazies. A father reading to their kids I feel will tug at the hearts of mothers and grandmothers.

Of course they will!
"I wonder if the religious right will jump all over that Obama read the Harry Potter Books to his children."

Not only that, but they'll point to it as some kind of "proof" that Obama is a 100% Jesus-free Marxist Muslim Wiccan.

I hold out some shred of hope that the voters of America aren't as stupid as McCain and Palin think they are.

"I will open the doors of government....
and ask you to be involved in your own democracy again.  
Well he certainly has done that, with unprecedented numbers of volunteers working every day all over the country on his behalf...and so far it looks like unprecedented numbers of voters going to the polls in this election.
May we all begin to reap the rewards come Jan. 20, 2009.

I'm thinking...
Yeah, I could stand having that much class and dignity in the White House.

Imagine having a president who get huge ratings for his TV addresses.  

When you look for the bad in mankind, expecting to find it, you surely will.

I just got off the phone
with a guy trying (and succeeding) in selling me a new high speed package for my home TV/phone/internet service. He went considerably off script after he asked me to clarify my relationship with the "account owner" to verify I had authority to make changes on the account. Our current phone service is in my husband's name.

He was also mixed race (black/caucasian) and said he'd just voted for Obama. I said we'd both be voting for him next Tuesday. He said he was having trouble believing we could really have a black president. I said if we do I'll have to feel a lot better about my country than I have for a long time. He agreed.

If a supervisor ever listens to that call he'll probably be in trouble. I hope that doesn't happen, but it was good to know that the bonus for that sale will be going to someone I can agree with, politically.  

Cause any fool knows, a dog needs a home; a shelter from pigs on the wing


"If a supervisor ever listens to that call..."
That depends. If I were his boss, I'd give him a raise.

NEWS from Chocolate News...

..one correspondent said McCain is qualififed because he was in prison.... so therefore 1/3 of all black Ameriicans are qualified because they have done time.... but

OBAMA isnt!

BRADLEY effect....

Barack says he thinks whites didn't get memo about not being able to vote for a black.So Jon reminds him his is half white so will he be confused how to vote? Barack says he is taking therapy so he will remember how to vote. 

Since country is is such bad shape are you sure you want this?? Yes, I think I can really have an impact now...it needs fixing! e.g. people open to change. 

That was fun!! Can't wait for election coverage from Indecision 2008 on Tuesday.

oops... the above was live-blogged from Barack's appearance.
on THE DAILY SHOW... biggest applause from studio audience after intro was discussion of coming together in a 'spirit of cooperation' to fix things..

How can McSame and Bible Spice call Obama a Socialist,,,
  and not look like complete fools?  What message can they say that would convince any voter to vote for the republicans.  

 I am now watching McSame on Larry King, crying over Obama's use of public funds, credit card donors and such.  McSame has gone so negative it has dug a deep hole.  

 Tomorrow is going to be interesting when McSame/Bible Spice go on the trail.

If I make sense? it was quite by accident.


Advice to McCain:
When you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.

Why?
If McCain keeps digging at his current pace, America will have a tunnel direct to Australia by the time Obama is sworn in. Think of the money you'll save in transport costs!

McCain
Doesn't take advice. He's a Maverick! (snark)

[ Parent ]
Is it true
That McCain's name wasn't mentioned once the entire program?

yep
Unlike McCain, Obama chose to focus on issues; he's declared McCain irrelevant by not mentioning him. McCain/Palin obviously have no confidence in their policies, and are going 24/7 on personal attacks. It's all they have left.
