Almost every week, Republicans join a competition to see who can say the most outlandish things, and in the process, they push the envelope on just how despicable InsaniTEA can become. I trust that you will believe it, when I tell you that last week was no exception.
Pat Boone has completely lost touch with reality.
In case you were wondering what singer and actor Pat Boone has been doing lately, the answer is losing his mind. The celebrity-turned-conservative activist has made it his mission in life to destroy a very great evil in the world: Saturday Night Live.
Now, we’re the first to admit that Saturday Night Live has not been up to snuff for a while in the comedy department. Kate McKinnon is great and does a pretty good Hillary, but hasn’t Kenan Thompson reached his sell-by date yet? Weekend Update is getting better, but still pretty meh.
But it turns out Boone’s criticism is just a tad harsher than the show’s failure to tickle his funny bone. After viewing a recent skit about how "God is definitely gay," Boone called the show “blasphemy,” and said the cast is “Satanic” and “bound for hell.”
Nothing unhinged about that.
Here’s more from RightWingWatch:
In an interview [pseudo-liberal delinked] last night with Alan Colmes, Boone said that “there should be regulations that prohibit blasphemy” and that the Federal Communications Commission should punish networks that air such blasphemous programming.
When Colmes asked if he would “like the FCC to declare that a show like Saturday Night Live or any other show can’t do that kind of humor,” Boone agreed: “You cannot do blasphemy, yes.”
Boone, insisting [pseudo-liberal delinked] that “at least 90 percent of the American public” wants this kind of censorship, specifically said that SNL or any program that calls “God by some profane name” would be in violation of such a blasphemy restriction.
Boone spent the rest of his interview time wondering why Donald Trump is not still calling for President Obama’s birth certificate.

This is the clip that brought Boon into a Republican Supply-side pseudo-Christian (the total opposite of authentic Christian) seizure.
You’ve seen it here before. It is hilarious! It does not blaspheme God in any way. It simply ridicules those, who claim falsely that they represent God.
This example is only the fifth of five despicable Republican moments listed from last week alone. Click through for the other four.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
1. I said all I have to say on this when TC featured the story, as well he might. What a horrid person.
2. Ummmmm – facepalm. Someone in this short article embarrassed the United States, all right, but it was not President Obama.
3. I wish I could be certain that this constituted an admission that he's not serious, but, alas, I think it's just more entertainment.
4. Oh, she's not in a coma? Brain dead A surprise to me.
5. Actually, this might be a good case for hypnosis – to get it through his thick skull – that there is no Constitutional way to legislate against blasphemy, since the concept violates the separation of church and state. Suck it up, Pat. God can handle it. She's probably laughing her head off – at SNL – and at you.
One more comment on Pat – he sure looks like he's been rode hard and put up wet. What would it take over a lifetime to turn a person from this

to what you see above?
JD: Wiki spoke of an alcohol problem at one time, which does prematurely age people…a more benign perspective than thinking of Dorian Grey
I'd say there is more context for this story:
"In 1978, Boone became the first target in the Federal Trade Commission's crackdown on false claim product endorsements by celebrities. He had appeared with his daughter Debby in a commercial to claim that all four of his daughters had found a preparation named Acne-Statin a "real help" in keeping their skin clear. The FTC filed a complaint against the manufacturer, contending that the product did not really keep skin free of blemishes. Boone eventually signed a consent order in which he promised not only to stop appearing in the ads but to pay about 2.5% of any money that the FTC or the courts might eventually order the manufacturer to refund to consumers. Boone said, through a lawyer, that his daughters actually did use Acne-Statin, and that he was "dismayed to learn that the product's efficacy had not been scientifically established as he believed."

He was also part of the Y2K gold scam, so his Acne-Statin denial of complicity is not credible.
LePage is a sick and mean man to veto this bill.!! The antidote has saved lives. How callous of him.
I thought the SNL clip was funny. Personally, I think Pat has left his mind stuffed in a cupboard somewhere.
Thanks, Tom for post.
Boone is TRULY unhinged! The Constitution, that thing that all these RepukkklicanTs swear by, says that ANYONE can say ANYTHING! It's called Freedom of Speech!!!
1. Maine Gov. Paul LePage needs to coat his very extra large butt plug with vaseline and stick it in his mouth to shut him up!. A thoroughly "despicable and horrid thing". Maine really needs to get this "thing" out of office. LePage does not have much empathy to help out his fellow constituents.
2. Stacy Dash dissing the President for discussing Earth Day. Guess Stacy didn't realize just how important the Planet Earth is to all of us including those of future generations.
3. Trump" Ho hum… He's become boring with his rants. He does not have much in the way of offering his opinion on many issues other than flip-flopping on those he does "rant".
4. Ann Coulter: A "heart-warming" bitch who doesn't understand any better on just how juvenile Trump really is.
5. Pat Boone has lost his marbles. Guess he just does not understand comedy, satire, parody anymore. Where did he get the numerical figure that 90% of the people think they should punish SNL? To Pat: The birther issue died a long time ago is why the press simply yawns at him. Guess that Pat Boone has become or is an American Taliban on blasphemy.
The skit by the SNL crew was funny.
.
LePage may be grooming himself for the 2020 presidential election, going out to prove how phenomenally stupid he is before anyone else gets on that bandwagon!
Perhaps Trump, and Coulter have both crawled up Boone's ass and areinterfering with his cognitive capacities?
SNL: Funny! Some decades ago, with wink at Lenny Bruce, they may have rferred to god as a "Tits and ass man."
Say, Pat Boone, I’m looking forward to your explaining the major governmental differences between your desire to enforce “Blasphemy Laws” & other peoples’ desire for “Sharia Laws.”
IMO, they are one and the same! Funny how that works, eh!
You cannot explain that to a right wing Christian. They will not believe you, I have tried.
Their belief that they represent God, in spite of clear evidence to the contrary, allows them to believe that whatever they do, however evil, is right,
1) LePage — I stand by what I said yesterday: "…he is an asshole's asshole in addition to being a racist, bigoted, woman hating Republican."
2) Stacy Dash — Works for Faux Noise. Is anything more needed to be said about this vacant headed woman?
3) Trump aka Drumpf — Presidential? Drumpf doesn't know the meaning of the word! ADash is worried that Obama is an embarrassment to the nation? Drumpf is a million times worse.
4) Coulter — Had not heard from her in so long that I thought she had died! Too bad . . .
5) Boone (82) — He needs to learn that one man's free speech might be another's blasphemy. He is rivalling another Pat's unreality . . . Pat Robertson (86). Those white buck shoes are out of date and too tight!
He was once Robertsons side-kick,
Barf bag alert surely needed for this one. LePage is making our new gov, Bevins, look sane. Ann Coulter is a mean spirited person and it amazes me that anyone listens to her. I don't even know who Dash is, so I am pretty sure I don't have to worry about her. Trump promised today that if he does not win the election, we will never see him again. Promises, promises. Pat Boone was very popular in the fifties, perhaps he is senile and does not realize it is not the fifties anymore.
Hope you enjoyed your nap!
I met Pat Boone many years ago – I was not impressed then either. He should go back to writing love letters in the sand.
Sanctimonious hypocritss nauseate me.
1. As I said yesterday, La Page shoud be impeached for vetoing a bipartisan bill for personal reasons only and endangering the life of all of his constituants.
2. If the world knew a little more about Faux News, and Stacy Dash's contributions to it, that would embarrass the United States of America in its eye almost as much as Drumpf does. It would have to work down a long, long list of Republicans before it ever came to a Democrat and that wouldn't be president Obama.
3. Tell me if I get this right: Drumpf got himself a new campaign manager to groom him for the Republican convention, but after a week or so couldn't stick to the presidential diet and now binges again on insults and bigotry, promising his supporters not to become too presidential in the White House lest they should become bored with him? Wow, something to look forward to and surely a reason to vote for him, right?
4. Some of Drumpf's groupies are so easily pleased…
5. For some pseudo Christians being too much "in the Lord" amounts to being high on some hallucinogenic substance. Not a very nice trip though, they see Satan and hell everywhere and feel the strong urge to rid the world of all of it. Best get old Pat away from the cameras and into a geriatric hospice where they take good care of the dear man.
Thanks all!! Hugs!
