Singer Pat Boone Compares Proposition 8 Protests To Mumbai Terrorists Attacks

[RetiredTrotskyite]

You'd think this has-been would go hide away. I guess he wants a shot at a last 15 minutes of fame. Now we see that not only his career dead but so is his brain.

1. He is a despicable asshole. Keith did a piece on him last night.

[RetiredTrotskyite]

2. I Agree, GoddessBiker....

BTW is there any online link to Keith's piece?

8. I saw that

Boone is too crazy to be walking around loose. Just how frickin' unwrapped does someone have to be to make the comparison he did? I mean, there are a lot of gays with guns (I'm one), but jeebus cripes in a pickle jar, none of us actually used them. Not even so much as a paintball.

We marched. We sang. We banged drums. We held signs. Nobody shot anybody. Well, possibly the bird, but I never saw so much as that. I take that back: some wackogelicals in a car with a fish, a cross, and a McFailin sticker shot us the bird at our protest in the Triad on the 15th last month. (Nice, gawdfearin' people that they were.)

What a friggin' dickless freak. He was a freak 50 years ago and senility hasn't improved him a single bit.

Somebody take him home and wipe the drool off of him.

3. Is he still alive?

His songs and singing made me ill back in the '50s when I was a little kid. Guess I had good taste even back then.

4. Pat Boone, that desperado of a

money changer in the Temple has been using his 'faith' as a marketable product ever since America got sick of his lousy pop music rip offs of African American artists.

[ronnykmarshall]

7. Have you heard ...

his cover of "Tutti Fruity" from the 50's? :puke:

[Glorfindel]

5. He's still alive? Wow....

Next we'll be hearing from Anita Bryant. :evilgrin:

[varun]

6. Jeffy Falwell wannabe?

Remember Falwell saying that 911 was caused due to gays and feminists?

[swimmernsecretsea]

9. Thank you, Pat Boone

Your opinion so matters to me, despite your having been missing from the world of entertainment for the past...I'm sorry. I can't remember when I last saw you before this. It's been a while. My bad.

And your thoughts on matters of same sex unions is meaningful because you're an expert in....gosh. I can't come up with it just right off, but I'm sure it'll come to me.

You've been such a force in...uh...just give me a moment. I missed lunch and I have a bit of a blood-sugar head right now.

Keep doing what you're doing Pat. Wait...what was it? Singing, right? Because singers of bland pop hits whose careers peaked almost forty decades before and have done nothing since but make worse and worse career mistakes have important opinions to share with all of us.

10. Why is this man alive and Robert Goulet and Mel Torme are not???

n/t

[RetiredTrotskyite]

12. Only the Good Die (Relatively) Young. Seriously.

[Bertha Venation]

[Bertha Venation]

11. Pat & Anita plan an afterlife tour called "Up With Straight People"

What a putz.

[frylock]

13. pat boone's music is like a million 9/11s

[KitchenWitch]

14. GMTA!

I was thinking along very similar lines.

[yardwork]

26. LOL!

[Meeker Morgan]

15. Damn! I forgot he's still alive. n/t

[bluedawg12]

16. Honestly could anyone say this crap about any other group today and get away with it?

Looks like gay bashing is still the sport of haters.

This "has-been" is sinking to new lows, taking the place of other idiot bigots
who conflated domestic disasters with gay-hating rhetoric, now Boone has to "off shore" his hideous analogy to shamelessly exploit an over seas tragedy. What a has-been douche.

[Baby Snooks]

17. Elvis without the Pelvis...

That's what a friend in Los Angeles calls him. Elvis without the Pelvis.

He is one of these Christians who believes no one can go to heaven unless they accept Christ and therefore Christians must save everyone and in his case usually ends up boring everyone.

[bluedawg12]

18. He's irrelevant but that message about gay violence is a lie!

This is the same bullsh*t that this kerndude in Okla. is spreading to justify gay incarceration.

It's the same lie that Kern's wife used when SHE compared gays to terrorists back in the spring.

There is a very obvious, and very lame attempt at conflating gays with terrorists and then when we complain about their outright hate speech - they lie about threats and conflate it with negative email responses and claim their right to free speech but not when we respond peacefully or in speech and writing, then its hate?

This from a rw site, so I am not linking, but it does show her lies:

An Oklahoma lawmaker has received thousands of hostile e-mails and voice messages that included death threats for speaking out about homosexuality and labeling it a bigger threat to America than terrorism or Islam.

>>"I'm not anti, I'm not gay bashing but according to God's word, that is not the right kind of lifestyle," said State Rep. Sally Kern at a Republican event in January.

Her comments generated national attention after pro-homosexual group Gay and Lesbian Victory Fund posted the recording on YouTube earlier this week. As of Friday afternoon, the posting had close to 900,000 views.

In response, Kern has received more than 7,000 e-mails and voice messages, most of them hostile with a few death threats.<<

Turns out the death threats were a lie!!!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sally_Kern

>>Statements on homosexuality
In March 2008, Kern made national headlines when she stated:

"Studies show that no society that has totally embraced homosexuality has lasted more than, you know, a few decades. So it's the death knell of this country. I honestly think it's the biggest threat our nation has, even more so than terrorism or Islam — which I think is a big threat, okay? Cause what's happening now is they are going after, in schools, two-year olds...And this stuff is deadly, and it's spreading, and it will destroy our young people, it will destroy this nation."<6><7>

After receiving attention for the remarks, Kern said "I said nothing that was not true" and refused to apologize.<6><8><9> She received a standing ovation from fellow Republican legislators in a private meeting a few days later.<10> In response to Kern's comments, hundreds of gay and lesbian rights supporters protested at the Oklahoma State Capitol on March 18.<11> Over 1000 later turned out at the Capitol in support of her.<12>

Shortly after her statements became public, rumors surfaced that one of her sons is gay. The spread of these rumors prompted public denials by both her and her son. <13>

Although Kern claimed in some Christian news sources to have received death threats that caused her to hire a bodyguard,<14><15> the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation officer who reviewed Kern's emails said, "I wouldn't characterize them as death threats."

Kern's statements were addressed on the Ellen Degeneres Show in a segment in which Ellen Degeneres attempted to telephone Kern's office.<17> Degeneres received Kern's outgoing voicemail message, followed by the telecom's pre-recorded message indicating that Kern's mailbox was full. (Degeneres' comedic response was, "I'll bet!") Comedian Margaret Cho also discussed Kern's statements on the Oklahoma City stop of the True Colors Tour 2008.


Firearm possession
On July 23, 2008, Kern was stopped by security guards in the Oklahoma State Capitol when she tried bringing a loaded gun into the building. The gun was a .380 caliber semiautomatic handgun. Kern had a permit for the gun and claimed she brought it into the building by accident. It was later confirmed that a second incident in which Kern made it into the building with a gun occurred in June 2008. Kern was not charged for either incident.<18><<
