Pat Boone goes Birther

The entertainer gets behind the movement that claims -- wrongly -- President Obama isn't eligible for his job

It's really now up to the Birthers to prove he's not a citizen.

This claim can't be proven wrong any more than it already has been.

It's now up to all the Birthers to prove with evidence that he's not a citizen. Just saying he doesn't have an american birth certificate doesn't make your claim valid. Prove it.

Even that World Net Daily site says he's an american citizen.

Stop yelling and taunting and prove he's not a citizen or pick something else to scream about. This one has really been worn out.

Yo stupids!

You lost the argument.

The link of the front page has evaporated because your arguments are just too embarrassing.

Wanna buy a bridge or liberate Iran?

By the way, regarding the title of the article...

...is "going Birther" similar to "going full retard" as described in Tropic Thunder? Seems there are lots of similarities, except the latter case is just an act, whereas the former is as real as it gets.

What’s really going on here?

Old Pat is merely having a desperate public reaction as some very disappointing realities creep into what remains of his consciousness:

1. The market dried up decades ago for producing lame-ass rip offs of black folk’s songs to pathetically mimic and peddle to clueless dumb fucks.

2. Despite his condemnation, the Dixie Chicks remain a highly successful group.

3. Almost NO ONE thinks “White Bucks” are cool anymore.

4. He didn’t pass away while “His World” was unchallenged, and predictably comfortable.

Ain’t That a Shame?

Actually, Mr. Boone may not have completely jumped the shark. He seems to have glommed onto another gambit to sell feeble crap to clueless dumb fucks, as is demonstrated in some letters posted here.

case in point

There are now at least two posts that ask something stinks (or any birther) to prove these outlandish claims.

Rather than addressing the issues, something stink waves his "mission accomplished" banner.

I will ask again--please provide a shred of evidence that Obama was born ANYWHERE other than Hawai'i. I think a birth certificate (or the equivalent) from wherever you claim Obama was born should meet your own standards, so please produce this evidence.

@ scottinsf

Pat Boone's music and choice of wardrobe is to be disregarded therefore whatever point of view he has on a subject is also to be disregarded.

His music and fashion offenses are trifling compared to some of the ways he treated his kids. Not that this invalidates his political views (which can and should be invalidated with non-ad hominem arguments).

Also, no wonder an old issue of Action Comics has Superman about to punch Lois's head off for liking Pat Boone.

He flew into the future and saw what a douchebag he would become!

Pat Boone

Following his arguments that everything should be checked and substantiated, Pat should get a certificate that he is not inflicted by Alzheimer's, before we deal with his statement.

FULL OBAMA!

A laser printout from 2007 is a Birth certificate from 1961.

The Iranians are the most dangerous people in the world.

Banks and Wall Street needs money more than you do.

Torture, Rape and Murder are not prosecutable crimes.

We can't leave iraq, they need us too much.

We need more troops in Afghanistan to support the Taliban.

We need to shoot hellfire missiles at the Taliban's enemies in Pakistan.

We need to clear out and erase an entire province in Pakistan. Why? I don't know, You tell me!

We overthrow the President of Honduras and he says, "Hey, that's ILLEGAL!" as if he had nothing to do with it.

We blow 400 million dollars to overthrow and subvert the Iranian government, shoot a girl in the back of the head so we can put her picture on TV and the Web, cancel our diplomatic meetings with the Iranians and call THEM CRAZY.

Remember the Wall Street Crisis, WE NEED THESE ASSHOLES IN THE PRESIDENT's CABINET!

HEY all you LGBTs who supported, worked for and funded Obama, go fuck yourselves until 2011 and the we love you SO MUCH!

Helen Thomas - HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA ! Now get that old bag out of here!

Remember Palin's spending spree and forget about Michele's. What spending spree? Michelle who?

We have to have a dialog and debate with the guys who blow up abortion clinics and murder doctors in churches. HEY, let's work out a compromise, come on ladies, give a little.

But don't get me started . . .

FULL RETARD?

FULL OBAMA!

BAMA!

BAMA!

BAMA!

What is this mythical "Law of Nations" you keep blathering about? Which law? What laws? What in God's name are talking about? The Geneva Convention? What???? God, you are dense......

Zip code pin number?

"...and you want to use your credit card, you pass it into a slot checker, and still have to punch in your zip code."

Zip code? Nice one, Pat. You've just shared your pin number with the world. Might want to get that (and your others) changed ASAP.

Monday, June 29, 2009 07:06 PM

Re: Jaster

Actually, a lot of places do ask you to give your zip code for there own marketing and demographics purposes. I do it at best buy all the time.

Monday, June 29, 2009 07:09 PM

Idiot.

But... this isn't new, right?

My dear Tufflove35,

It was the textbook from which our founding fathers forged our constitution from.

No ad hominem is necessary as you have already done the work for me.

Monday, June 29, 2009 07:17 PM

My dear Tufflove35,

The next time your ignorance raises questions, I suggest using googe.com and doing a search to answer your question before you insutl the person who confused and confounded you with things that you did not know about.

Such as:

http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=%22Law+of+Nations%22&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8

Or click on my name.

Constitution.org - sound like probably just blather, eh?

@Stinks

It was the textbook from which our founding fathers forged our constitution from.

Purely out of curiosity, is there a reason you keep referring to the Law of Nations and not the actual Constitution? If that reason is all tied up with the rest of your conspiracy nonsense, then just say that rather than provide a long-winded explanation. However, if there's a sensible reason, I'd love to hear it.

Monday, June 29, 2009 07:29 PM

My dear paulpsd8,

The terms in the the constitution are defined in Vattel.

Why bother explaining that to you?

All he had to do was say he didn't have one instead of presenting us with a document from 2007 and pretending it was from 1961. He could have just used his mother for proof of citizenship unless there were documents attesting to citizenship of other countries and all of those documents are sealed for some reason.

What part of disingenuous do you not understand and is that not everything that has been done since he took office?

dis⋅in⋅gen⋅u⋅ous  [dis-in-jen-yoo-uhs]

–adjective

lacking in frankness, candor, or sincerity; falsely or hypocritically ingenuous; insincere: Her excuse was rather disingenuous.

I don't really care where he was born and would prefer that Arnold be President. But this guy weaseled about his BC and now he is weaseling about everything else.

FULL OBAMA!

Haven't we had enough weasels in the White House? Cannot a person be found for the job?

What do weasels do for you anyway?
