Pat Boone: President Obama's Plans Are To 'Release All The Murderers'

[big_dog]

Musician and conservative activist Pat Boone took to WorldNetDaily today with an incendiary column titled “Obama’s Willie Horton plan: Release all murderers,” in which he criticizes President Obama’s goal of closing the Guantanamo Bay detention facility.

Likening Obama’s plan to the Massachusetts furlough program that critics said was responsible for Horton’s crime spree, Boone said Obama might begin “emptying and shutting down all our prisons and just let all the offenders be released back into society.”

“He and his administration are already doing that – deporting criminal illegal aliens, and then allowing them to come right back in to commit more crimes,” Boone added, wondering if the Obama administration's policies will lead to “a mass invasion by illegal aliens, including near certain terrorists with plans for future 9/11 style attacks in our own cities?”

All of this, Boone said, is meant to turn America “into a virtual socialist, if not outright communist, society.”

1. Pat Boone is a buffoon.

Screw him.

[gordianot]

2. Darn is he still alive? Safe to assume somewhere in Branson.

[rpannier]

8. Still alive and I think he's been pushing reverse mortgages

[big_dog]

14. ah yes, the 'Screw the Kids, who's gonna die first?' mortgage-- take a cruise to Alaska instead!

[TheCowsCameHome]

28. Even the daisies want no part of him.

[pstokely]

34. and walk in bathtubs

[rpannier]

35. are those things another one of those medicare scams

like the scooters

[deutsey]

41. It's all a part of that pact he made with the Devil

Satan has kept him alive, lo, these many years, so Pat's got to hold up his end of the bargain by spreading fear, hatred, and ignorance far and wide.

A deal's a deal...

[olddots]

3. you owe me 69 cents boone you maggot

[Wellstone ruled]

4. Talk about Stupid,

don't think this Guy is all there.

[Terra Alta]

5. wow, he's still alive?

and still a moron, apparently. Where was he when Reagan granted amnesty to millions of immigrants? Or when Dumbya ignored the warnings prior to 9/11?

[TheCowsCameHome]

7. Embalming fluid can do wonders.

Boone is proof of that.

[liberalhistorian]

16. DUzy of the day!

LOL. I remember, growing up in the 70's, even then my parents couldn't stand Pat Boone or his insipid dipshit daughter and her endless iterations of "You Light up my Life." They were teenagers when Pat was all the rage, and they saw through him even then.

I was in my early teens when "You Light up my Life" proceeded to "light up" the airwaves over and over and over and over and over and over again every day ad infinitum. The attitude was almost like we were supposed to all bow down to Debby Boone for her greatness. I don't know which was worse, the song or the stupid movie. One of the best zingers from that time that I remember was when someone asked a Hollywood "insider" columnist when Debby Boone was going to get her own variety show and why she hadn't gotten one yet (remember, that was the time when almost anyone who was anyone would, at some point, have some kind of "variety" show on tv). Debby was singing that stupid song EVERYWHERE on TV in addition to the radio. Without missing a beat, the insider responded "well, what for? What the hell would she do after she sang "You Light up my Life"? Which proved to be prescient, considering she never really did anything else (to my knowledge) and is now just as much of a fundie whackjob as her father.

6. Musician and Delirious Whack Job Pat Boone...

there fixed that little part

[Kingofalldems]

9. More crap filtered through right wing watch.

[WinkyDink]

10. Wow. Pat Boone is certifiable! But to think someone 80 isn't dead already is equally daft, SORRY.

[BeyondGeography]

Til they got a hold of him

[pinboy3niner]

12. I guess it's No More Mr. Nice Guy

[samsingh]

[gordianot]

19. OMG that is just way too much.

I opened it on iTunes and listened to the samples. One of the most hilarious albums anywhere. Thank you for the experience.

[liberalhistorian]

23. OMG, is that real or just a

photoshop? Did he seriously do a metal album? I cannot wrap my head around that, lol. I'm not sure I'd have the guts to actually try listening to it, if it's really real.

[gordianot]

24. Yes it is real, listen to the samples on iTunes.

[samsingh]

13. idiots like pat boone seem to lie about everything

[woo me with science]

17. Actually, the president has shamefully expanded the private prison industry in this nation.

We are constantly propagandized to divide into our Red and Blue teams and participate in the Two Minutes Hate over some absurd comment by a Republican or other ridiculous story like the one in the OP. The purpose is to keep us hating and divided.

Meanwhile, the two parties, funded by the same major corporate interests, are quietly colluding on virtually every major economic, war, and police state issue important to the One Percent.

No, the president is not planning to release all the murderers. On the contrary, he has continued and expanded the malignant Bush agenda of attaching a profit motive to the caging of human beings, and turning the prison system of this nation, and the justice system in impoverished communities, into an exploitative business opportunity for predatory corporations.

This is the malignancy of the corporate money that floods the halls of our government and both parties now.

It's a vicious agenda. It's the corporate agenda. And we need to unite to stop it from both parties.

[AtomicKitten]

30. He'll be here all week.

[NightWatcher]

22. When do they start pinning their delusions of persecution on Hillary?

Obama's only got a short time (relatively) left to take our guns, kill our grannies, make the gays have abortions in FEMA camps.....

[Initech]

25. Did Pat just discover Info Wars or something?

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

26. Hates, with a passion, the very thought that a non white person is calling the shots.

[hifiguy]

29. Dementia. That is all. nt

[pangaia]

31. OK. BIG confession, here.

I used to mow Pat Boone's lawn!! If I knew then what I know now I would have burned his lawn out with cyanamid.

Oh, and while we are on my earlier years, I also briefly dated Howard Fast's daughter.

How's them potatoes...

[rpannier]

36. braggard

[pangaia]

38. One plus.. one minus..

[rpannier]

43. Well it probably was an honor to mow Pat Boone's lawn

Did the family singers come out and sing while you mowed?

[pangaia]

45. no singers

At the time I didn't know enough so I probably thought it was cool to be mowing his lawn.

Dating Howard Fast's daughter briefly WAS nice.

[pinboy3niner]

40. Aint That A Shame

[Panich52]

32. He must have spent too much time soakin when he was selling bathtubs

[spanone]

[sakabatou]

37. WTF?

[JHB]

39. Wasn't that Huckabee's act?

Releasing murderers and rapists because their victims were related to Bill Clinton and/or they claimed they'd found Jay-sus?

[Vinca]

42. You know those bathtubs Pat hawks?

I've always wondered if they malfunctioned if you could be electrocuted. (Can't help it . . . I'm daydreaming. LOL.)

[MrScorpio]

44. After dealing with all of the snow here recently...

Reading Pat Boone's words got me wondering what's the weather like on his planet.
