AMERICAblog: Mormon friend Pat Boone thinks civil rights advocates are terrorists

  • Rhetor · 11 months ago
    I'd like to take part in a raging demonstration. All of ours were quite peaceful, boring and COLD.
  • Dave of the Jungle · 11 months ago
    Are you aware of the MOUNTAIN MEADOWS MASSACRE?
  • Scott · 11 months ago
    Isn't that where Mormons massacred a couple hundred people, and left their slaughtered bodies "as is" for years in a field?

    As for Pat Boone, when he stops fucking cardboard boxes is when gay people actually become terrorists:

    What a pervert! LOL
  • Steve_in_CNJ · 11 months ago
    that's tiny. explains a lot.
  • shanobama · 11 months ago
    You forgot one Mormon tactic:

    The Mormons blamed the massacre on the Native Americans. (the Paiutes, I believe)

    Took a century for the Native Americans to clear their name.
    I imagine that Mormon accusation caused them some problems for a hundred years or so
    The Mormons MURDERED and then LIED.

    Let's not forget that people JUST LIKE Pat Boone called Martin Luther King Jr., Bayard Rustin, John Lewis, Jessie Jackson and Rosa Parks "terrorists" in the hight of the 60's Civil Rights Movement. Bigots don't change strategies (they're too ignorant for that) they just eventualy change the targets of their bigotry. Once the gay bashing has run its course they will seemlessly move on to the next "other" group. It looks like they've already got their eyes on the imigrants and the Muslems.
  • Scy · 11 months ago
    Exactly! There are many more of us than them and we are fighting back . . . HARD.

    I remember when people used to try and hide the crazies in the family, not put them front and center.

    I saw a good review of this column at Pharyngula on Monday. I apologize if I shouldn't be posting URLs.

    I'm sorry, but how is this guy a "Mormon friend"? He did not say one thing specifically regarding the Mormons in that clip and has absolutely zero history with them. Wow, John. You're really stretching it here. Between this and your title for the NY Times ad (that Mormons had nothing to do with), I'd say you've completely lost your credibility.

    "A great nation deserves the truth." Well then give it. Don't make crap up.

    If that's not their friend...I don't know what is.
    "We the people have a fight on our hands – and these crazed activists are forcing it on us. This is not a "civil rights" issue. It's an issue of rebellion, intimidation and – painful to say – anarchy. It's getting close to classic gangland extortion: "Do it our way, or we'll ruin you." -- Bat Boone.
  • cowboyneok · 11 months ago
    "Hmmm" worked our last nerve. He is banned.
  • foxy · 11 months ago
    Hardly "cute" any more John. More and more pathetic IMHO.
  • cowboyneok · 11 months ago
    There they go again! Talibangelicals, like Pat Boone, are like wife beaters with a persecution complex! Obviously, he is just doing this to justify their victimization of us. What next? Are they going to start publically stoning us, or sacrificing us on the altar of their churches then cry about how we have hurt their eyes and ears with loud protests and "hateful" signs?!!?

    It reminds me of the death threats I got by them, via telephone, for daring to have a Thanksgiving celebration for "United Methodists for Lesbian and Gay Concerns." They called and ranted and raved about how we were all going to hell and they were going to shoot the place up, and cut off the lesbian's heads and our dicks and stuff them down the lesbian's throats. Real persecution complex there, huh? Real Christian... Yes, I had the calls traced to a White Supremacist group who had also made bomb threats to a Synagogue in Tulsa. Those Talibangelicals!!! Gotta love'em (when their on their meds).

    Pat Boone - TAKE YOUR MEDICATION!

    One other thing. The LGBT community had ZERO incidences of VIOLENCE during our protests. Well, maybe the one incident where the idiots trampled that woman's cross when she threw herself into the gaggle of protesting gays (if that counts). In fact, before we protested here in Tulsa, we made sure our signs weren't TOO hateful, and we also said we would NOT put up with any kind of violence from our side because we were advocating change using the tenets of non-violent change by the lessons of Ghandi and Martin Luther King.
  • wmforr · 11 months ago
    Aha! Following Ghandi and MLK and all those other commie fascist liber bleeding-heart anti-Christians. Next you'll be quoting from Thoreau!
  • scottinsf · 11 months ago
    You know, I haven't heard of one case of violence against these cultists and xtians since prop 8 passed. Yet just this past weekend I hear yet another person is beaten to death for being presumed gay; called a faggot while having his skull crack open with swing after swing of a baseball bat. The guy wasn't even gay either. The attackers didn't realize the two guys walking home from a night out with their arms around each other were brothers.
  • cowboyneok · 11 months ago
    EXACTLY!!!!!!!!!
  • gwyneth · 11 months ago
    Yeah the poor Mormons are just so persecuted because they can't legislate their religion on all of us and tyrranize their neighbors. Their just so vicitimized by the US Constitution. And, if your a minority and have had your civil rights removed because of them and engage in peacefully protesting then according to people like Pat Boone your a terrorist?

    I think I'll look him up and give a good piece of my mind.
  • FunMe · 11 months ago
    Yes, we need to fight back these bigots, especially those who fail to resurrect their "careers" by wearing leather jackets/boots/motorcycle.

    That didn't work, so now he thinks bashing gays will do the trick?
    I DON'T THINK SO!

    The real terrorists are these religious FANATICS who work to deny people basic rights and then cry discrimination when people fight back.

    And their tactics of playing vicitims does not fly. And we'll make sure it doesn't.

    Boone ... what a FREAK! Who knew?
  • woodroad34 · 11 months ago
    Yes, that's what bullies and Statan do....oh, did I mention wife beaters as well? They punch you in the nose and then cry foul when the victim punches back. Annnnd, that was such an embarrassment when he came out in the leather vest w/o a shirt on, dangling earring and Euro shades at the Grammys back in the 90's at his age. He's out of time, out of step, and out of his mind. Republicans gone mad.
  • RainbowPhoenix · 11 months ago
    Taking all bets. When will the Hitler comparisons start?
  • wmforr · 11 months ago
    Wasn't it Gingrich who already said that gays demonstrating against the removal of their civil rights were "fascists"? Another example of Republican Maoist Newspeak.
  • Personal Failure · 11 months ago
    "Raging Demonstration"? Has this idiot seen the news from Greece lately? That's a raging demonstration. The gay demonstrations I have been to barely qualify as impolite.
  • foxy · 11 months ago
    Remember everyone today is a Day Without Gays!

    STRIKE! Take the day off, close your business, or call in sick. (unless you may get fired because you are gay or lesbian)

    BOYCOTT! Don't buy anything, spend money or support the economy.

    Have I mentioned the MOUNTAIN MEADOWS MASSACRE?
  • smallhandff · 11 months ago
    Dude, folks who read this site wouldn't know about that example of Mormons practicing mass murder. You'll need to spell it out for them as well as for the site owner. They all need some smart'n up.
  • mark jacobi · 11 months ago
    yeah, they are the victims here.... booo hooo, i read another story about a man, simply for being perceived as gay, being beaten to death by several "men."

    i have never heard of a group of gay men, trolling around a city, looking for straight men to bash.....

    He wasn't even gay. The man he was with was his BROTHER.
  • Dwayne Decker · 11 months ago
    Pat Boone has to pick on the gays because he has an extremely small penis. So small. So very very small.

    Damn, is that his "resurrection" picture above? Listen, Pat Boone became irrelevant after about oh, 1956...we went for Elvis and destroyed Boone's "career" forever. : )

    He needs to crawl back in his hole...
  • tlsintx · 11 months ago
    Ha ha ha! i knew it...Pat's problem is a bad case of Elvis Envy!
  • wmforr · 11 months ago
    His "career" was build on white-washing songs he ripped off from Black artists.

    And several years ago, during a presidential campaign, I believe, wasn't Patty Boy caught telling really vile racits jokes?

    When he first started making movies--forget about guys!--he said he would never kiss a woman in a movie, because it was a sin to kiss awoman who was not his wife.

    Eventually he realized that that sin was worth the big bucks.

    In case anyone is still interested in following the young artist at BYU whose photographs were censored by the Mormon Church in an art exhibit, his work has been restored for viewing. Small victories.

    Where was Pat Boone's outrage when liberal hater, Jim Adkisson, unleashed his terror at the gay friendly Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church? I guess the two murders at a gay friendly church cannot compare to the harsh words Mormons have had to endure since they got caught bankrolling bigotry.
  • cmpnwtr · 11 months ago
    Pat Boone is a fundamentalist evangelical. They don't even consider Mormons Christians. So his supposed befriending of Mormons is disingenuous.
  • foxy · 11 months ago
    Well let's just call them bum buddies...ok?
  • bluestockton · 11 months ago
    Looks like drinking milk will do you good for only so long. He's really aging.
  • Freddie · 11 months ago
    Boone is a liberal within his denomination, the Church of Christ. Can you imagine how narrow minded the conservative churches in his denomination are?
  • wmforr · 11 months ago
    Then that is presumably not related to the United Church of Christ, which, until recently, counted Obama as a member and has run TV ads emphasizing that they are gay-welcoming.

    Pat, Pat, Pat.... You were such a cutie. There was that semi-naughty picture of you when you were a "wild" teenager. Now don't try to claim you were just taking a leak through the wrong end of that paper cup! And we almost got to see your butt when you fell naked out of that tree after returning to the surface in "Journey to the Center of the Earth" You used to be fun!. What happened, Pat? Been a conservative too long? Honestly Pat, you're showing signs of going the way of the GOP actor. Reagan.... Heston... Are you going to be the next one with Alzheimer's? It's not too late to start exercising those brain cells. Put down your bible and read something progressive. It'll do you good.

    Oh, and by the way. We finally sold that lot in Arizona...... remember the lots that you advertised way back in the late 50's? Casa Grande they called it. It was going to be THE place to build your dream home. Yes, they used your squeaky-clean image to advertise those lots on TV. My hubby's parents bought one right next to the "golf course".. What a mistake that was!! Don't know how much you made on it, but it was a total loss for his parents. None of those lots could ever be developed because of the "Casa Grande Homeowners Association". Funny name for an association that has no homeowners in it. They said that you couldn't build on the lots unless you got a sewer hookup. But then they wouldn't allow any sewer hookups. Wouldn't allow any septic tanks either. Not sure if they allowed outhouses or not. My poor hubby. Every day of his life he had to listen to his parents talking about how Pat Boohe had ripped them off. They never lived to see a dime from that investment. But we did recently get a very modest offer, and took it just to get rid of the lot once and for all. Not sure what the new owners are planning to do with the property. Maybe they're going to build a toilet-free retirement home for demented Christian B-movie actors with permanently impacted bowels.
  • warbler · 11 months ago
    LOL, Even in the 50's with that Nazi Arthur Godfrey who discovered him, he was a tight assed prick. He was the guy they thought would turn around the 'Juvenile delinquency" that terrified all the old guys who came back from the war and were sure America was going to go to hell if the kids were allowed to do what they wanted, (drink, fuck) and the communists were going to take over the government. Pat Boone was seen as a corrective for all this misbehavior and I'm sure he was ripe for the sort of corruption you describe (as long as it had nothing to do with sex.). He was a role model for NO-ONE who was male and loved only by the timid sort of gooney girls who hoped that nice boys like Pat Boone wouldn't push them too hard for sex, even though no-one else was interested in them. He was always out of sync with the zietgiest of this country and he still is.
  • Rufus · 11 months ago
    Technology would allow you now to build a home in Casa Grande, as modern science has given us electric toilets that burn the waste right there in your bathroom. I bet Pat anticpated these electric toilets way back in the late '50s before he became a wingnut.

    Pat Boone has never been the same since
    the Dimetrodon attack in "Journey To The Center Of The Earth".


    He has been just a shadow of a man since that traumatic event.

    Unless it was Gertrude's death?

    And those giant mushrooms...WHOA!!!!!!!
