In his weekly WorldNetDaily column Pat Boon begins and ends an open letter to President Obama with a positive and one hopes sincere pledge to pray for him. Then the column devolves into an odd defense of torture claiming that:
May I tell you that my own mama inflicted more actual physical pain on me and my brother Nick – raising welts on our butts with a sewing machine belt when we got really out of line – than any of the techniques, including "waterboarding," that detainees of the U.S. military have endured

1. Pat Boone. Mr.Irrelevant.

I'm sure Obama is impressed with Boone's willingness to ripoff black music and make a fortune doing so.

[NRaleighLiberal]

2. Pat Boone. Lousy artist. Misguided person. And....quite insignificant!

[MineralMan]

3. Who gives a damn what Pat Boone thinks about anything?

Go back and sing "April Love" or something. Your political views are boring.

[baldguy]

4. Which explains alot about how Mr Boone turned out.

[Cass]

25. Oh God, I had forgotten about that phase of his.

WTF was he thinking?

:crazy:

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

5. Tiresome old has-been.

How does he know being whupped with a sewing machine belt is worse than waterboarding? Did his mama ever waterboard him? If not, could somebody please do it now?

[emulatorloo]

8. I doubt he would survive waterboarding. For that matter I doubt I would survive it.

Maybe that's Hannity's excuse too.

[Javaman]

6. does pat boon need to remind the world that he recorded a bad recording of Tooty Frooty?

nothing like a right wing moron to defend child abuse. Yup falls right in line with the rest of their fucked up values.

[polichick]

7. Well, the symbol of his religion is a means of torture - plus, "spare the rod, spoil the child."

[madamesilverspurs]

12. About "spare the rod..."

That's another verse that has been wildly and wrongly interpreted, and used as justification for corporal punishment of children. The "rod" in question is the same as the rod of the 23rd Psalm ("...Thy rod and staff comfort me"); both rod and staff were tools used by shepherds for a number of purposes, none of which included striking any member of the flock to effect 'discipline'. Those who still use that verse to justify clobbering children are, in my opinion, using their "faith" as an excuse to bully people too small to fight back.

9. Geeze! No wonder he's so screwed up. His mother was a sadist.

Did she rape him with a baton too? Slam his head against the wall? Brutalize his children?

What a psthetic fool he is, and apparently he's happy to broadcast it.

[merh]

10. I wonder if pat will let Jesse Ventura waterboard him?

[lunatica]

11. His momma is a torturer who could teach torturers a lesson in better technique!

SERE should hire her immediately!

:scared:

:rofl:

[Happyhippychick]

13. Listening to Pat Boone = worse than being waterboarded

[Politicalboi]

16. You got that right

[Solly Mack]

14. You, you light up my ass..

[madfloridian]

15. Ask his daughter Debby about getting spanked.

Even well into her teens.

[rufus dog]

17. Sewing machine belt to the ass....

That explains a lot Pat.

[annabanana]

18. Then he should VOLUNTEER to get waterboarded for charity...

Just like Hannity.

[opihimoimoi]

19. He has swallowed 48576978 gallons of that cool aid crap they be serving at the

TORTURE CONVENTION: The latest in FREEDOM RESTRICTORS, STRAPS and CUFFS, etc

SEPT 29 at LV Arizona...4 Queens

Free yourselve to a COMPELLING TIME....

BOON is a LOON

[bullimiami]

20. dear mr boone.

you are insane.

[azmouse]

21. Yo, Pat! Who would Jesus torture?

[graywarrior]

22. Whackadoodle nutbag.

[Cass]

23. Waterboarding is illegal and has been so for a very long time, Pat.

It is not as if this is a grey area. We figured this out already YEARS AGO. No amount of rationalizing can change the fact that waterboarding is illegal and the US does not torture. PERIOD.

These people are frigging nuts.

[armyowalgreens]

24. who the fuck is pat boon?

[cali]

27. a has been hollywood crooner/actor

sort of a third rate male doris day type.

[rvablue]

26. Well, maybe it's time to challenge Mr. Boone to a waterboarding for charity?

He is a "christian" after all, and I'm sure that he would under go hours of waterboarding in order to raise money for the homeless or the hungry or something.

So, Mr. Boone, will you be waterboarded for charity? I'm sure many, many DUers would love to contribute to the cause. But then again, it might be a bust, as I'm sure you wouldn't last more than a few seconds.

[City Lights]

28. What a fool.

Yo, Pat, did your mama ram a broom stick up your ass too? How'd that work out for you, Pat? :eyes:

Gawd, I'm so sick of hearing from ignorant, uninformed Americans. :puke:

[chatnoir]

29. Has Pat Boone ever been waterboarded? No?

Then he doesn't know WTF he's talking about and needs to STFU.

[Vinca]

30. Mama should have been arrested for child abuse.

[spanone]

31. mr boone is seriously uninformed if he equates a parental spanking with wartime torture

he should be ashamed of being so ignorant.
