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.

Prop 8 mouthpiece bleats that defeating gays is akin to beating Hitler

by: Pam Spaulding

Thu Oct 30, 2008 at 11:00:00 AM EDT


Via Calitics, another case of over-the-edge, morally bankrupt fundie hysteria over Prop 8. Brad Dacus, a spokesperson for Yes on 8, is also the head of the bible-beating Pacific Justice Institute. Here is what he said at an official pro-Prop 8 rally:

"There was another time in history when people, when the bell tolled. And the question was whether or not they were going to hear it. The time was during Nazi Germany with Adolf Hitler. You see he brought crowds of clergy together to assure them that he was going to look after the church.

And one of the members, bold and courageous, Reverend Niemand (sp?) made his way to the front and (inaudible) said "Hitler, we are not concerned about the church. Jesus Christ will take care of the church.

We are concerned about the soul of Germany." Embarrassed and chagrined, his peers quickly shuffled him to the back.

And as they did Adolf Hitler said, "The soul of Germany, you can leave that to me." And they did, and because they did bombs did not only fall upon the nation of Germany, but also upon the church and their testimony to this very day.

Let us not make that mistake folks. Let us hear the bell! Vote on Proposition 8!"

Julia Rosen at Calitics:
Dacus is the guy who was the chief architect of the movement to get an opt-out law for parents to take their child out of any school activity that violates their religious or moral beliefs.  Like say if a charter school asks the parents if they want to take their kids on a field trip to celebrate their teacher getting married.  You know, the one they are conveniently forgetting about and then lying in their ads about education and teh children.

Remind Me...
wasn't Hitler the wingnut who used the Catholic church as a club with which to beat gays and Jews over the head?

History Lesson
In 1935, the Nuremberg Laws defined Jews by race and mandated the total separation of "Aryans" and "non-Aryans."

On November 9, 1938, the Nazis destroyed synagogues and the shop windows of Jewish-owned stores throughout Germany and Austria (Kristallnacht). These measures aimed at both legal and social segregation of Jews from Germans and Austrians.

Kristallnacht, the initiation of World War II in 1939, and the invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941 marked the transition to the era of destruction, in which genocide would become the key focus of Nazi antisemitism.

To justify the murder of the Jews both to the perpetrators and to bystanders in Germany and Europe, the Nazis used not only racist arguments but also arguments derived from older negative stereotypes, including Jews as communist subversives, as war profiteers and hoarders, and as a danger to internal security because of their inherent disloyalty and opposition to Germany.

Any of this sound familiar? Hum?

yes, he did
 and the Catholic Church willingly complied with Hitler...but then...they came for the Catholics later on.

     This is so inflammatory, this Nazi comparison. Gay people are not the ones taking rights away in this. People of faith ALSO have a choice to what degree and with whom they want to share their beliefs. Beliefs are not enforceable, equality is.

 Once Nazis TOOK AWAY human rights from anyone, there was NO STOPPING them.
We KNOW what the results of taking away rights can be.    Denail of historical precedent and reality, especially in THIS country by the proponents of 8 is unforgivable.

I get tired of Hitler/Nazi/Gestapo references.

This one from the Pacific Justice Institute's Brad Dacus is pretty despicable. It really diminishes the evil of those who killed Jews, Germans with mental and physical disabilities, gays, Jehovah's Witnesses, Roma ("Gypsies"), Poles, and Soviet prisoners of war. Millions perished in state-sponsored tyranny -- it had nothing to do with part of the populace seeking broader civil rights and protections under the law for a broader swath of its citizens.

This week, I got angry at a blogger from New York who compared transgender activists working for civil rights and protections to the Gestapo.

I'm sick and tired of folk of any stripe of any political perspective using Nazi comparisons. Unless we're talking about systematic, state-sponsored ethnic, cultural, or political killings of vast numbers of people, the comparisons are over-the-top and downright detestable.

"Unless we're talking about systematic, state-sponsored..."
I think that it is safe to say laws limiting civil rights like Prop. 8 are similar to the way Nazis began discriminating against Jews.

But, the similarities are limited.

Voting yes on Prop. 8 doesn't make someone a Nazi. But, it is worth pointing out how far similar laws went in the past -- on to limiting property ownership, freedom of movement, representation, etc.

You can't argue "never again" if you aren't allowed to point out how Nazi Germany started on the path to genocide. It is better to nip it in the bud.

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

As a Jewish lesbian...
...I'm pretty used to this bullshit. But this crosses the line to such an extent that I still have some outrage and revulsion left for it. Really vomitocious. Ick.

What is it with Republicans feeling they need to Godwin this election?
Anyone got a tally of the number of events this cycle?

# Duty, duty -- honor is, is --
Honor, Creideiki -- alertly

Karl Rove Manifesto
What we're seeing this election is the Reich, from McCain on down, referring to the 2004 Karl Rove Manifesto on winning elections.

"Link your opponent(s) as much as possible to almost universally despised individuals and/or philosophies in the U.S."

For example, Obama is a friend of terrorists, Obama is a Muslim, Obama is a Socialist, Obama is a Marxist, Gays are pawns of Satan, Gays = Hitler, Gays recruit children or are child molesters, Gays want to destroy families.

They figure it worked well last time, why not use it again.


Check your analogy.
I think someone is missing who is playing the role of the Nazis

I was reading a page earlier today that has an excellent comparison of Nazi propaganda to Fundie propaganda:

Jews Are Diseased

Jews spread disease like rats"In this way, they (the rats) spread disease, plague, leprosy, typhoid fever, cholera, dysentery, and so on. They are cunning, cowardly, and cruel, and are found mostly in large packs. Among the animals, they represent the rudiment of an insidious and underground destruction - just like the Jews among human beings."- Nazi propaganda film, "The Eternal Jew," http://www.holocaust-history.o...

Gays Are Diseased

"The disgusting details of the homosexual lifestyle explain why so many diseases are present in the homosexual community." - American Family Association, http://www.afa.net, Homosexuality in America: Exposing the Myths

Gays disproportionately diseased"Homosexuals account for a disproportionate number of America's most serious STD's, including syphilis, gonorrhea, genital warts, and hepatitis A and B." - Family Research Council, http://www.frc.org/insight/is9...

As a half-breed Gay Jew who had family die in Russia in WW2
Due to Hitler (and this branch of the family left during the Russian pogroms), I can say, with all due respect, shut up. You don't know what you're talking about.

Actually I, I think you do. I think you know precisely what you're doing, and you don't care. You hate gay people. There is no denying that now.

If there's any sort of karmic justice this will bite you on the ass in a most unexpected way.

You don't get to invoke a Nazi comparison without there being some repercussions.


For supposedly religious people, they sure don't know their theologians.
Niemoller, one of the major figures in the Confessing Church, the group of churches that broke away from the major Protestant state-supported and supporting Church. Niemoller is credited with that famous "First they came for the..." poem.

Gotcha covered, Nancy.
When I read the name "Niemand (sp?)" in the post above, I knew he was talking about Niemoller ...and I knew he is one of those monkeys who doesn't rely on FACT or TRUTH.

One translation of Reverend Niemoller's poem/observation:

When the Nazis came for the communists,
I remained silent;
I was not a communist.

When they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent;
I was not a social democrat.

When they came for the trade unionists,
I did not speak out;
I was not a trade unionist.

When they came for the Jews,
I remained silent;
I was not a Jew.

When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out.

Niemoller preached -- from his pulpit -- that the Nazis were on the right path.  Then they nailed HIM.

Take a lesson, Dacus.


[ Parent ]
My updated version
When they voted to ban same-sex marriage,
I remained silent;
I was not gay.

When they voted to take hospital care away from immigrant workers,
I remained silent;
I was not an immigrant worker.

When they voted to limit the driving age for senior citizens,
I did not speak out;
I was not a senior citizen.

When they voted to prevent women from working outside the home,
I remained silent;
I was not a woman.

When they voted on my rights,
there was no one left to vote "no".

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

- Abraham Lincoln.

more faces of proposition 8

This guy attacked a gay man with a Yes On 8 sign.


Is it just me...
...or does their analogy not make sense?

Hitler said he would take care of the soul of Germany then he killed Jews.

And so, by that analogy we're supposed to get that...gay people are saying they will take care of the soul of America and then...we're going to round up heterosexuals and send them to concentration camps to die?

Is that really what they're saying?  Cause I must have overlooked that section in my Homosexual Agenda.

"To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best day and night to make you like everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight and never stop fighting." -E.E. Cummings


I wonder what color triangle the gays will make the heterosexuals wear?
