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.<\/font><\/p>\n

Pat Boone has completely lost touch with reality.<\/strong><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

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.<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

Now, we\u2019re 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\u2019t Kenan Thompson reached his sell-by date yet? Weekend Update is getting better, but still pretty meh.<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

But it turns out Boone\u2019s criticism is just a tad harsher than the show\u2019s failure to tickle his funny bone. After viewing a recent skit about how "God is definitely gay," Boone called the show \u201cblasphemy,\u201d and said the cast is \u201cSatanic\u201d and \u201cbound for hell.\u201d<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

Nothing unhinged about that.<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s more from RightWingWatch<\/a>:<\/font><\/font><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

In an interview [pseudo-liberal delinked<\/em>] last night with Alan Colmes, Boone said that \u201cthere should be regulations that prohibit blasphemy\u201d and that the Federal Communications Commission should punish networks that air such blasphemous programming.<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

When Colmes asked if he would \u201clike the FCC to declare that a show like Saturday Night Live or any other show can\u2019t do that kind of humor,\u201d Boone agreed: \u201cYou cannot do blasphemy, yes.\u201d<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

Boone, insisting [pseudo-liberal delinked<\/em>] that \u201cat least 90 percent of the American public\u201d wants this kind of censorship, specifically said that SNL or any program that calls \u201cGod by some profane name\u201d would be in violation of such a blasphemy restriction.<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

Boone spent the rest of his interview time wondering why Donald Trump is not still calling for President Obama’s birth certificate.<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This is the clip that brought Boon into a Republican Supply-side pseudo-Christian (the total opposite of authentic Christian) seizure.<\/font><\/p>\n
