Pat Boone: Boycott Walmart! Because.... it's too queer-friendly!

<snip>

This year, instead of bowing and kowtowing to militant atheist and super liberal "political correctness," so-called, I'm thrilled to see that Wal-Mart has banished "the Grinch" that threatened to steal Christmas, and will be advertising Christmas sales and playing Christmas music – and not conforming to the total "Holiday" imagery and advertising of other milk-toast wimp marketers. Again, the family friendly vision of Sam Walton lives on! I believe he's smiling somewhere, possibly in the presence of the One whose birth Christmas celebrates.

So imagine my surprise, my shock really, when I read yesterday that this venerable company, the international outgrowth of Mr. Sam's personal vision, has agreed to automatically donate 5 percent of online sales directly to the Washington, D.C., community center for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people! The cash donation will come from online purchases made at Wal-Mart through the homosexual group's website. Every purchase made online for books, music, videos, clothing and accessories, children's clothing and toys, and electronics will automatically send 5 percent of the sales to the CCBLBT organization.

The American Family Association Action Alert, a widely read Internet news source, says this latest move follows Wal-Mart's joining the National Gay and Lesbian "Chamber of Commerce," and agreeing to give generous financial help to that organization also. The AFA, and I predict many other family organizations, are calling for a post-Thanksgiving boycott of Wal-Mart. In fact, they're lining up 1,000,000 families who will pledge not to shop at Wal-Mart or Sam's Club on the Friday or Saturday following Thanksgiving.

If the boycott succeeds, it won't bankrupt Wal-Mart; but it may send them a message, loud and clear.

1. Message altered: I'm boycotting WalMart for Christmas season.

I'm vowing to shop anywhere BUT WalMart for Christmas. But I don't support Robertson's reason for calling a boycott. Mine is personal.

2. shut up Pat you homophobe you!

Someone keep these old has-beens away from the microphones please.

[hlthe2b]

5. Damn... I thought he'd gone white shiney shoes UP long ago.....

:evilgrin:

[XanaDUer]

18. He did a loooooong time ago.

He re-animates every now and then to make stupid pronouncements.

[Donnachaidh]

28. someone should post that pic of him in leathers

that he did a few years back. Looks like he was getting prepared for his dominatrix.

[951-Riverside]

3. I'm going to a walmart right now

...That will show him :P

[pooja]

4. Wonderful.. the rightwing mob boycotts.. we all boycott and we

save America... Keep spouting your hate please... we'll take the giant out yet.

[PSPS]

6. Jeez, another closet case.

[Sadie5]

8. Looking for Pat Boone picture

Does anyone have that pic of Pat Boone when he tried to break into rock? Leather and chains with a goofy smile.

As for the 'has been' Boone he can kiss my kazooty. Who cares what he thinks.

[ulysses]

9. here.

15. I actually have that album

My only Boone album, it came out around the Metallica S&M album and I still have it for novelty reasons. Metallia's S&M with the San Fran Symphony was much better.

[nickyt]

16. Good for you, it's gonna be worth big $ some day.

I'm considering getting a copy of K-Fed's new album for the same reason!

[rosesaylavee]

7. Those whacky RWingers.

Watching them implode is more fun that I had thought it would be. Now they are eating their own.

[upi402]

10. Pat's a snappy dresser!

I bet he's spun out in the loose gravel a time or two!
He seemed to like playing dress-up for his metal period.:rofl:

"milk-toast" Oh pot to kettle!!!:rofl:

[EvangelOphileBlican]

17. I was going to say " let it go Pat, come out come out just throw open that closet door. n/t

[Fleshdancer]

11. For ALL the reasons to boycott walmart, the right wingers pick this?

This manufactured outrage over homosexuality gets more ridiculous everyday. They close their eyes to the exploitation of slave labor through sweat shops but a 5% donation of online sales to a community center for GLBT is what bothers them? :eyes:

[GreenPartyVoter]

12. The message being, "We're bigots!"

[Mythsaje]

13. 1,000,000 people who this country could do without!

Pat Boone, you're a irrelevant asshole whose 15 minutes of fame was a LONG time ago.

Go butcher some more heavy metal tunes and shut the fuck up.

[CatholicEdHead]

14. Homosexuals are not "family friendly"?

What a joke, but this is World Nut Daily.

[Sadie5]

19. What I have noticed

Is Pat Boone on a few of the RW talk shows discussing politics. What do you want to bet that he wants to run for some office in the near future.

[Gatchaman]

20. The thought of Jesus wanting to hang out with Sam Walton makes me regurgitate

Really, how self-righteous are these assclowns?

I have some degree of sympathy for Pat Boone though. He did his metal album as a joke (and it's legitimately campy), and the tight-assed old farts who make up his core audience took it seriously! He's still having trouble living it down. That might explain his silly posturing here too.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

21. Go back to stealing black people's music, Pat.

:eyes:

[Cleita]

22. Let him talk. Pat's crowd is Wal-Mart's major customer base

here in the USA. If they boycott Wal-Mart, we might have a chance of getting WalMart to change the error of its ways yet.

[flvegan]

23. Bocott Pat Boone! Because...he's a dipshit homophobe asshole!

Wait...it's not really a boycott if nobody is buying his shit anyway, is it? Hmmm...

Hey...wasn't Pat Boone in Hustler in some picture with his wang exposed? Nice family values there. Ass.

[Bigmack]

24. I remember when Pat Boone and ....

Elvis were just starting. My father... ordinarily a wise man... said "That Elvis will never go anywhere in the long run. Now, Pat Boone... he's gonna be big... big like Sinatra. He's a little fruity, tho."

[LizW]

25. Fundie quandary:

Who do I hate more? Pagans and Jews and Muslims, or the gays? Oh, it's just too hard to decide! :shrug:

[bobbie]

26. Ah Pat Boone, whatta piece of...

Uh, y'know, work.

[stepnw1f]

27. Oh... There Ya Go Again DU... getting all PCish and What Not!

Pat Boone meant nothing by it... really....

[Eric J in MN]

29. Is there such a thing as...

...National Gay and Lesbian "Chamber of Commerce"?

[Imagevision]

30. And they came up with pat Boone to counter Elvis?!!!!
