I've made it to the initial round for favorite progressive blogger in the Air America Cruise Contest. I have to stay in the Top 5 before the second voting round begins, so your vote is appreciated! First voting round:
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.

who monitors yours Bevis ?? Just thought I would drop you a line,so the rest of your life is not wasted.
"I mean, when you see 700 shambling dead zombies walking toward the Civic Center up the bridge, it would probably get the Secret Service's attention. So we gave them a heads up on it to make sure they know we're not doing any kind of protest or (are a) threat in anyway."
-- Dan Burrello, organizer of the Asheville Zombie Walk that drew 700 of the undead to Flint Street and past the Civic Center where Bible Spice rallied up the nutter troops
The Asheville Citizen-Times covered a Palin rally on Sunday, where there were about 300 protestors -- and a bunch of zombie fans.
The walk has been in the works for a year, and is organized for people who love zombies, horror films and to celebrate Halloween, Burrello said. Some of it also is a statement on consumerism and society, though the fact the Zombie Walk is taking place during Sarah Palin's visit is pure coincidence.
"It's fascinating because regardless of the party, so much of politics is mindlessly following," Burrello said.
You have to read the CoverItLive blog as well, it's a hoot. Some snippets:
Lisa Loper, her daughter Cassidy Maney, from Sevierville, Tenn., drove about an hour and 45 minutes to get here. "I wanted my daughter to see this," Lisa said. "We just think this is a very important election," because of the moral issues at stake and the economic crisis.
3:03 Carla Lovelace, of Clyde, came out to see Palin because "she's got kind of a bad rap." She wanted to see Palin unfiltered and unedited.
"His economic issues kill the American dream," she said. "His defense policies kill the American spirit. His moral and ethical policies kill what America was built on."
3:05 Karon McPeeters, from Marion, says she came out because, "I like what she stands for.
"I have a niece that lives in Alaska and she says she's doing great things for Alaska," she said. "She has come up through the ranks like the rest of us."
3:10 Seen at the scene:
Nathan Ramsey is handing out McCain stickers to everyone passing by.
"No socialism. No class Warfare, No Obama, no way!"
A significant anti-abortion contingent is present, with signs reading:
"Unborn for Palin"
"Pro-life for Palin"
"We vote pro-life"
"Palin power"
T-shirts:
A homemade one says, "You betcha!"
"Another small town religion-clinging, gun-toting American voting for McCain and Palin."
3:15 Tim Pack is wearing a small name tag that simply says, "Joe." Although he is a Libertarian, Pack says he is coming to see Palin because he is a feminist. "I support Palin I hope she is successful in everything she strives for," he says.
Uh, delusional. Video of Palin and more of the AC-T's live blog is below the fold, including some zombie action.
Lisa Loper, her daughter Cassidy Maney, from Sevierville, Tenn., drove about an hour and 45 minutes to get here. "I wanted my daughter to see this," Lisa said. "We just think this is a very important election," because of the moral issues at stake and the economic crisis.
