Pat Boone: Worst Person In The World
Last month I posted a lengthy excerpt from washed up singer Pat Boone's World Net Daily column in which he compared Prop 8 protesters to the terrorists who attacked the World Trade Center. Boone has updated his claims, now saying that the protesters are like the terrorists that attacked Mumbai last week, earning him the Worst Person In The World slot from Keith Olbermann last night. From Boone's latest World Net Daily pile of puke:
[I]t couldn't happen here. Could it? Look around. Watch your evening news. Read your newspaper. Are you unaware of the raging demonstrations in our streets, in front of our churches and synagogues, even spilling into these places of worship, and many of these riots turning defamatory and violent? Have you not seen the angry distorted faces of the rioters, seen their derogatory and threatening placards and signs, heard their vows to overturn the democratically expressed views of voters, no matter what it costs, no matter what was expressed at the polls? Twice?
I refer to California's Proposition 8. You haven't heard about the well-oiled campaign to find out the names of every voter and business that contributed as much as $1,000, or even much less, in support of Prop 8? You haven't heard about the announced plans to boycott, demonstrate, intimidate and threaten each one – because they dared to vote to retain marriage as between one man and one woman? You haven't seen, on the evening news, prominent entertainers and even California Gov. Schwarzenegger, urging the demonstrators on, telling them they should "never give up" until they get their way? Assuming you have become aware of all this, let me ask you: Have you not seen the awful similarity between what happened in Mumbai and what's happening right now in our cities?
