Pat Boone: Hating the Gay
By John Amato Monday Nov 05, 2007 2:35pm
But he's a good Christian man....Bill O'Reilly just can't get enough of Pat...
The Republican Party of Kentucky has created a robo-call advertising campaign featuring singer Pat Boone warning that the election of Democratic gubernatorial nominee Steven Beshear will put a governor in office who supports "every homosexual cause."..read on

Self-hating.
OMG Teh Gay!
As God is my witness, I thought Pat Boone was dead.
Is there something in the air down south?
Boone another G O P serial adulterer .
Has no rhythm but can goosestep with the best of them.
Boone is an idiot. Always was. What kept him in the headlines was the fact that his face didn't sag.
San Fran? They've got Michael Savage. I guess it can't get worse than that.
Is there anything more gay than Pat Boone?
Tarro @ 4:
It's not just down south, hate is alive and well all over this country...
here's the full text of the phone call:
And this message makes me (an American and a Christian) nauseous.
Looking at his picture, why does my gaydar keep going off?
Self-loathing? Self-hating? Christian?
who says pat isn't gay?
Rusty Shackleford @ 3:
And I thought he was gay... closeted but gay!
I do recall a Pat Boone wearing a leather vest without a shirt and leather pants for his metal album. Now that's gay.
You mean this Pat Boone?

Well gang, we know the pattern. Anytime one of these GOPers starts playing the anti-gay card, it's clear that beneath the rhetoric lurks yet another self-loathing conservative homosexual. For those unsure of what I mean, it's very simple. Pat Boon = very gay!
My god! KKKentucky turn into another San Francisco? Why would KKKentuckians want to be tolerant, and accepting of others when they can continue to be bigoted, hateful, closed-minded, inbred, rednecks? Not Kentucky!!
Please good Christians of KKKentucky, follow your loving Christian principles (ha-ha, almost typed that with a straight face) and vote for the bigot. And make more babies with your sisters and cousins, KKKentucky needs you!
Let him who is without stones caste the first sin.
d-man @ 17:
Sorry about the typo. Pat Boone = very gay.
Didn't I see Boone in a neo pink suit a while back? Or something similarly garish. Struck me as a Larry Craig-in-waiting, if you know what I mean.
a dying ideology needs its bogeyman.
it is the GOP way of assuring that the middle class and working poor continue to vote against their economic and national security interests.
if you ever wondered why the GOP used divisive issues (like flag burning, gay marriage, etc) this is why. the neoliberal and the neoconservative policies have been a stunning failure and the only way to hold-on, politically speaking, is to distract the voters with non-issues.
While gay-hate is still alive all over the country, it certainly has it's roots more firmly in the south than anywhere else, for obvious reasons. Messages like this should be prosecuted, not to take advantage of the legals system, but to attempt to block this kind of hate speech from entering the political arena.
Couldn't miss the chance to take a shot at San Francisco. You're right Pat, Kentucky is wayyyy better (eyes rolling)
moondancer @ 6:
I don't know - I hear Pat's music is toe-tapping good.
Pat, Come out of that closet. Rock did, didn't hurt him. Yeah, I know you married, but so are so many of the closeted GOP that have been outed by accident or incident.
Just come out ... You'll feel so much better about yourself.
JJohnson beat me to it, but I think this "leather" Pat Boone picture is even better than the album cover!
DaveTheAngryRhodeIslander @ 18:
Yeah, who would want a top economy, real houses, good food, and beautiful architecture. When you can have a land locked hellhole, where 2 out of 3 homes are of the mobile kind and be married to your cousin. Yeeeehhaaaa, that is the good life. Oh, and the moonshine, errr bourbon, don't forget that! If them gays get to marry, I am sure the paradise on earth that is Kentucky will be threatened...
Is that the same Pat Boone that sang Little Richard’s Tutti Frutti”?
Boone has been a parasite since the fifties ,when he stole the music of little richard.Then in the late eighties or earlt ninties he went "punk rock",anybody remember. A real tool.
Warning of the election of a Democratic gubernatorial candidate is SO gay
Rusty Shackleford @ 3:
So did I! Are we sure that he is not? I wonder if he still wears his "white bucks"? (Shoes...remember?)
PBI @ 27:
Rofl!
Yes, that's perfect!
for those of you slamming kentucky... remember this is the kentcuky GOP. there are a lot of good people in KY that are ashamed of this type of knuckle-dragging nonsense.
take it out on the KY GOP, not KY....
just sayin'
OMG!!!
THAT PICTURE!!!
I THINK HE'S HITTING ON ME!!!!
YIKES!!!!!!
Homosaywhat?
When an irrelevent, has-been, quasi-celebrity pops up to condemn homasekshuls, it can mean only one thing. Tap-tap-tap.

Samson- @ 34:
I do have to agree with this sentiment.
I know a few people from KY who are actually pretty bright. Its unfortunate they're stuck sharing a state with these dimwits - but then I'm sure the folks in Kansas feel the same too.
Ernie Fletcher is the first Repug Governor in a long time for KY and from the way he's fudged things, it will probably be awhile before we elect another Repug. Now we just need to get rid of that dirtbag McConnell.

Wow, gaydars across the nation just exploded when it sensed that picture.
Bud @ 45:
No effing way. No wonder he's such a bitter man. That's one small penis.
"Hello friends this is Pat Boone a fellow Kentuckian by descent from grandaddy Dan’l. I’ve always been proud of Kentucky’s stance on patriotic, military and moral issues; a great heritage. Now, as an American and a Christian I am very conservative about the upcoming governor’s election. Ernie Fletcher is a typical Kentuckian, he’s worked long and hard for the state, its people, and its traditions. And, of course, he has come under attack by political opponents and now he faces a man who wants his job who has consistently supported every homosexual cause: same sex marriage, gay adoption, special rights, to gay, lesbian, bisexual, even transgender individuals.
The problem (inaudible) gay advocacy groups (inaudible) enthusiastically endorse Beshear, knowing he’s their guy. Kentuckians have already voted to amend the state constitution to prohibit same sex marriage. Now, do you want governor who’d like Kentucky to be like another San Francisco? Please reelect Ernie Fletcher.
This message paid for by the Kentucky Republican Party."
Anyone backward enough to fall for this load of shit probably wouldn't vote for Brashear anyway.
Then what about their Senator McConnell? If they are going to be gay haters, they'll have to put that dirtbag out of a job, too.
Today, I am ashamed to be a Kentuckian. Disgusting......
Pat Boone's 2007 TV Decency Survey. It's a fund raising tool disguised as a survey. The survey questions are a joke. Please go and take the survey and forward it to all the progressives that you know.

OT - Kucinich’s resolution HAS PASSED! The vote to impeach Cheney will CONTINUE!!! Oddly, he had MAJORITY Republican support. Obviously the Republicans want this debate for a tactical reason. We have to MAKE THEM PAY for that decision. We have to make it BACKFIRE. Kucinich is a NATIONAL HERO. More courage in his small stature then the Democratic leadership combined.
Now we must ABSOLUTELY BURY our Reps. (and Pelosi, Steny Hoyer and Conyers) in Phone calls & email and DEMAND Dick Cheney be impeached. Round 1 goes to the Democratic Presidential candidate without fear, Dennis Kucinich!!

Rusty Shackleford @ 3:
He might as well be.
don't hate me @ 55:
Just read this myself. I am SO happy.
The Republicans want this because they *think* it'll undermine support for Pelosi, because she said "Impeachment is off the table" - they claim Dems will now "have to explain themselves" to people.
Hah!
Do they realize? This is what the people HAVE BEEN ASKING FOR SINCE LAST NOVEMBER!
Lafin Gas@29;
Umm no, I do believe that is the Pat Boone who butchered Little Richards Tutti Fruitti... Btw, does anyone actually remember anything this guy put out as music that 'was' worth a shit? I think he put out Blue Velvet which was pablum and didn't wear well with time... I think you might be able to hear it on some elevators nowadays... and probably some rightwing fundie a.m. crap stations in middle red America but who the hell listens to that shit besides deranged braindead morons who votes Bush come hell or high water anyways...
As a musician, and I use the term as broadly as possible, he just didn't have any staying power on his own as opposed to the legions of contemporarys of that period... I don't think I really need to list them here... Who really knows why he's getting all caught up in this latest KY election... Probably the same needy reasons he put out that weirdly weakass leatherfag immitation metal dreck, which I agree, only made him look like a Folsom Street fair wannabe at the time...
P.S. Samson, I'm with you on your sentiments... I'm from southern Ohio orginally and I know there are good people down in Ky stuck with a pack of hysterical religous morons who have managed to screw up a decent state.. Just like the morons who screwed up my home state just north of yas....... Good luck dealing with the shit sammich those types have managed to hand you folks. Maybe in another 50 or 100 years we'll 'all' finally get past this gaybashing bullshit, even against the transgender community which oddly enough, still seems like the only group its still OK to pick on even within the gay community itself...... And that is as much a shame as any of this other dreck....JD
That's what happens. When the republicans are losing, they pull out all the dirty tricks they can...Damn it, like it or not I think the Democrats ought to do the same.
I lived next to KY (in Cincinnati). Nice people in KY. Booze was cheap (low tax).
The righties were everywhere though. That sucked.
don't hate me @ 55:
Nothing on reuters.com, cnn.com or msnbc.com on this yet...stay tuned...
Fear THE gay!
*snort*
And yet again, the GOP pulls another fear-mongering tactic from their pathetic bag of tricks.
seagull.girl @ 62:
I just did a google news search and found it on Fox News - http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,308738,00.html
I guess the Republicans think this is a good idea, I hope it does a double (or triple?) backfire and hurts them in the end.
I see the GOP has pulled out another of their A-list celebs to fight for the conservative cause.
I'm sure in the backwoods, redneck South...Pat Boone is still magic.
"Hello. This is Pat Boone. I haven't been relevant since 1953, but hear me out. Those Godless liberals are doing all they can to support and promote the homosexual agenda. Join me and together we can save our children. And if you happen to be in Branson, Missouri, come see me at the Holiday Inn. I do two shows a night."
Perhaps people should email Boone via his commercial website, at info@patsgold.com, and flood him with messages about how disappointing his words on this anti-gay ad campaign are.
Jack Damage @ 59:
Bobby Vinton sang Blue Velvet. It was crap.
seagull.girl @ 62:
The media has been ordered by its Republican masters for the last 6 years to never ever say the word IMPEACHMENT. Now that Kucinich's resolution will go to the Judiciary committee the media doesn't know what to do!! Its hilarious. And you don't think the media is on a leash!! They're awaiting orders from Karl Rove (working from home now). He'll let them know if they can say IMPEACHMENT now.
Right now I imagine Katie Couric and Brian Williams wetting their pants!! They're afraid they're going to have to report some truth tonight! It'll be a first!!
Great Balls of Fire..come out of the closet, Pat.
Oh...and a little dose of penicillin should sooth those balls of fire.
Who the hell is Pat Boone?
Is he gonna be off talking about bandannas specifically designed to fit in human hands soon?
Jack Damage @ 59:
His signature song was Love Letters in the Sand. The title alone makes it sound pretty lame, but until you've heard Pat sing it, you don't know lame. Dude is as soul-less as a cheez-whiz and Wonder Bread sandwich.

Sure hope one of his former boyfriends or girlfriends comes forward very soon to expose some very freaky stuff about Pat. Personally, I think he's bi.
[Deleted. I think you protest too much, girlfriend-Sitemonitor]
Jo@67;
Thanks for the edification.. I wasn't sure on that.. I guess I can't actually remember anything Pat Boone did other than screw up Tutti Frutti....
Looks like we agree on the fundamentals though... Blue Velvet was crap and so is Pat Boone.... And Jomentum describes him best as a... 'ahem' 'musician'... Cheesewhiz on wonderbread....weak waaay weak...but that's as funny a discription as it is accurate... good one Jo (chucking to myself).......Jo
Chuckling... chuckling... oh well darn fat fingers...you know what I mean...JD
Ihategaystoo @ 75:
Gotta take those meds every day, man. Seriously.
Me thinks Pat doth protest too much.
wow. what a mindless rant. bad grammar, terrible spelling, but he thinks being gay is "genetic" even though it's "filth". this pitiful creep is very confused.
Ask me if I care what the whacko, fucking has-been thinks of anything. I remember this tool and his ugly daughters pimping acne medication in the 1970s called Acne Statin...the shit didn't work and I thought he should have been run out of town on a rail then.
Now he's back with this idiocy! For what it's worth, the stupid asshole actually believes that bullshit...look at the nitwit's blog and webpage...and then scrub your cookies, lest his moronic site ever appears on your computer again!

ihategaystoo@75
OK, just a goldarn minute thar pardner... I ain't lettin this one fly on by..
Your first paragraph is fine.. I'm a het and you're absolutely correct about the boys likin girls thing and proper families and all... Not a damned thing wrong with that...
I've chased skirts all my life, been married, loved my wife at the time, we fell out of love and it didn't work out but that's not the point here.. And if nothing else I hope I never lose my libido...It's a good thing and one of the few things in this crazy world that makes the rest of it just a tinny tiny bit more tolerable, including putting up with other straights as ignorant as you present yourself to be...
And if you'd have stopped there with your initial comment, you and I wouldn't have any difference of opinion. As to the rest of it... Totally ignorant bullshit comes to mind, but really I gotta figure its just a reflection of your personal upbringing... But this ain't about me trying to give your parents shit either for bringing you up as some kind of narrow minded individual... Let me just cut to the chase and tell you why your basic premise holds no water whatsoever... I have happened in my lifes experience to have worked closely with gays in the music world, the military as well as my current daygig and I can testify under oath or on some stack of bibles, (yer choice on that chum) that they ain't no queers goin round slavering to convert poor little virgin bum straight boys to homosexuality... Just ain't happenin... That's just not the way it works dude! And there ain't no gay germs gonna fly off of em onto you that will turn ya either.. Jesus I just can't fathom here in the 21st century how that kind of superstitious lunacy still exists... Gays like gays period... end of story..
Good god, man..Wake up! You're more likely to catch the clap from a straight hooker than you will ever be in danger of some gays comeon IF you present yourself as a straight person...If you present yourself in an ambigous manner some gay dude might make a pass at ya. But as soon as you make your preferences clear, they will leave you alone.. Frankly tryin to do what you claim they are up to is just too much trouble for no reward, to much work when they can easily find someone who is as gay as they are.. Oh yea btw, they don't hate us cause were straight either... That is yet another moronic superstition....
You really need to get out in the world more and educate yourself there mister Ihategaystoo....Sheeesh... Will the crazyness in this world never cease????? JD
David in Chelsea, MA @ 66:
Thanks...here was my e-mail to the site:

Wow. Sad. Whats it called when someone has no empathy? I think you might be a Sociopath. Please educate yourself.

"Oh last thing, a famous geneticist mentioned that in the near future it’ll be possible to get rid of this filth by correcting the genes. LOL, end of the dilema!!!! :))))"
Yeah...too bad fundamentalist assholes like you don't believe in medical research...or that being gay is genetic. Now go wrap your head in a cold compress, you pinched-loaf of a person! LOL!
Patty sure was a purty boy. Me thinks he's just another self-hating closeted homo.
Support the party of god's wide stance values in public rest rooms.
Hey ihategaystoo if you delete the gays from the genetic makeup of humans you will lose the following, just for starters:
1. Hairdressers
2. Airline stewards
3. WWF wrestling
4. Fast food managers
5. Most republicans and evangelicals.
Is that the kinda world you're striving for?
No wonder religions are going to such great lengths these days. They're losing every battle.

Even my grandmother said Pat Boone is gay. He hide this by marring and having children which was common in that time. Most of the older men from the 40, 50, 60's hide in the closet to pass as straight. Ricky Nelson was America's golden boy but really one of the biggest drug users. Even Mormons got in the act as if they were above others, now look Donny needs the money and Marie is divorced with 7 kids. People are just people but some like Pat Boone has to hide it, but God knows he's little secret.

That's not a penis....that's a mushroom cap.
That old queen just needs a reach around.
this guy is sick, always has been. a real pansy. just a hypocrit to the core. then again, he's a real force in kentucky, they're his kind of people.
There was a magazine interview back in the day that has always amused me.
The topic is Pat Boone, and the interview is with Duran Duran.
Q. What did you think of milk-drinking old popster Pat Boone describing your Live Aid performance as "satanic"?
Nick Rhodes: Who? Who's Pat Boone? He said were satanic? (Rolls about laughing for five minutes.) I think he should watch more Peter Cushing movies. I like it, I like it! I think it's hysterical!
The gayest thing I've ever done was buy Pat Boone's "No More Mr. Nice Guy" CD from a discount bin at Coconuts.
when someone holds himself up as an icon of virtue, a standardbearer for righteous values,the white knight, then one should make sure that hustler does not have a picture of himself exposing himself. what about that picture, pat. i remember reading about you in the movie magazines about that time and how religious you were. real hypocrit. would your good kentuckians approve. on second thought, they probably would.
Sexually speaking, Pat Boone is a registered Onanist. How do you think his shoes stayed so white?
It wasn't from dribbling ice cream on them.
Pat Boone? How about a comment from Dick Haymes, or Johnny Desmond? Maybe Jerry Vale? What in the world could you guys be thinking, to quote a crooner from two generations ago about 21st century politics? What does Daniel Boone think about gays?
Rusty Shackleford @ 3:
In all seriousness, I did too.
Anita Bryant anyone?
Feh. That's rich. Pat Boone. Bwah Ha hA HA! What a joke. How can these people still try to use the Gay Panic when it's THEIR candidates and THEIR Preachers who've consistently been caught snorting meth off some hustler's Boone in a bathroom?
Oh no, you guys beat me to it. Pat Boone, Mr "Tiny Dick in a Box", I was hoping to be the first to post the Boingboing/Hustler link.
Damn transatlantic time zone differences.
Well, now I have the evidence to confirm why I always felt that Pat was a jerk. I never could figure out why I felt that way, but I was certain he was, and now I know I was correct.
Most of Pat Boone’s success as a singer consisted of covering hits originally recorded by artists like ‘Fats’ Domino, “Little Richard” Penniman and Ivory Joe Hunter.
He also pursued success as a writer of teen-age advice books — ex. “Twixt Twelve and Twenty,” which really told it like it Twern’t — and shilling for (among many) Chevrolet and Amway.
He has appeared publically castigating Iraq War protesters, and (specifically) the Dixie Chicks. He has defended Mel Gibson’s anti-Semitic rant, and has portrayed the theory of evolution as a “bankrupt false religion.”
He was, at one time, Ozzie Ozborne’s next-door neighbor, and is best remembered (by me) as the actor who turned down a role opposite Marilyn Monroe, and also the guy who refused to give Shirley Jones an onscreen kiss (in ‘April Love’) on the grounds that she was a married woman.
Regarding his appearance in black leather — following that kerfuffle, he was fired from the religious television show ‘Gospel America’ until the following year when he explained that his appearance was to have been understood as him doing a parody of himself.
I have no certain knowledge that Boone is a closet gay, but there certainly is considerable evidence to explain why he may be a self-loather.
The guy Boone was advocating has lost the election. Just announced:
http://www.kentucky.com/635/story/223268.html
Guess he forgot how he first became famous, with his cheesy, white-bread version of 'Tutti Fruity'. Ripped off from no less a fag than Little Richard.
What an asshole.
Is somebody claiming that Pat Boone isn't gay?
Not very perceptive.
Pat Boone - that self-loathing Old Queen. I can't imagine how she thinks this can benefit her in any way, except make people think she's less gay.
Thinking Person @ 120:
PRAISE JEEBUS....oh yeah...and fuck Pat Boone!
Good old super Christian Pat Boone who prostituted his daughters for an acne creme that they did not use.
PAT BOONE, HEAVY METAL MEGADEATH ROCKER!!!!!!!
Wikipedia: "In 1997, Boone released In a Metal Mood: No More Mr. Nice Guy, a collection of heavy metal covers revamped to fit his style. To promote the album, he appeared at the American Music Awards in black leather, shocking audiences and losing his respectability among his largest constituency, conservative Christians. He was then fired from Gospel America, a TV show on the Trinity Broadcasting Network."
Pat oh my...you were always a bit of a clown but why did you do this to yourself? Hmm? Do you think the same God who made you and I is gonna love ya better for this outburst? I am a proud to be gay and a gay grandpa, proud and I will stand before the Almighty praising God for the sovereign design! What sad excuse will you make to the Creator for dishing the designs...do you think you are such a great artist that you can dish God? If you wish to make a fool of yourself that is prerogative but don't assume you have the right to do the same to the Almighty! We will be there on judgment day together and God will make it very clear to you and many other haters than we are very much part of the design! I tell you this so you will have NO EXCUSE. I am as much a part of the design that was declared GOOD as you. Stop trashing the Creator! It only makes YOU look bad and sadly foolish. How sad for you and how embarrassing to God. Bob
Man, he is one mixed up guy, if not repressed in some way.
Funny that he can accuse Duran Duran of being 'satanic', but go on to make a Heavy Metal album parody of songs that dealt with the same subject.
Ronnie James Dio was interviewed about this in that his song 'Holy Diver' was covered on that album and he was invited to the studio. Dio thought Pat was a nice guy and did his song justice, but also wondered if Pat knew what his song was about. Then again Pat probably thought it was about a religious scuba diver!
Still, Pat's version is absolutely hilarious, sung in true lounge lizard style!
Pat Boone, another closet homo?
Pat Boone's career was built on racism. Recording executives noted that white kids seemed to like the music of the black artists who were pioneering what later became rock and roll music. That would not do, particularly in the south. The execs, however, wanted to make money off the black artists' music. So they hired Boone to "whiten it up". Pat Boone knowingly toned down the "jungle music" of great African American originals in order to make it palatable to 1950s white America.
Tool.
oldtree @ 12:
yeh, he looks very gay in that picture.

Thinking Person @ 120:
Hope they send Mitch "Pat Boone" McConnell packing next!!!
"But he’s a good Christian man." Typical of the christian right. Not one mention of this racist about the fact that almost all of his carrier involved "covering" ( actually stealling)black recording artists songs in the fifties and sixties, re-recording them to be aceptable to a white audience and NOT paying any royalities.
If Jesus is subbing for St Peter at the gates when Pat Boone dies he will not let the guy in.
BTW Where in the bible does it say that St. Peter will be stuck on guard duty for all eternity?
My personal hell would be me replacing St. Peter and watching hateful people like Jerry Falwell enter Paradise.
Yes. He is a "good Christian" as they define themselves in these days of rampant hypocrisy. It always amazes me how floundering third-rate talent often manages to sustain itself in a second life as a born-again evangelical. That could be their new tag line. "Fundamentalist Christianity - A Sanctuary for Those With No Character and Failed Hack Has-Been Hollywood Performers." Interestingly, for all of Pat's "butter would not melt in my mouth" contrivances and moralistic pandering, rumors ran rampant for quite some time that he was a habitual spousal abuser and lest none of us forget the frequently posted/circulated and verified "Dick in a Box" photo originally unearthed by Hustler from his "wild" younger days that no doubt served as an inspiration for the controversial Justin Timberlake sketch from SNL. No doubt the Devil made him do it!
Slightly OT....but that record "Pat Boone in a Metal Mood" ain't that bad....
I've met him a couple of times in airports (not the bathrooms btw). I would describe him as aloof. His religionism is laughable.
this will go over like a lead ballon in kentucky. we hate the robo calls.
matter of fact i almost didn't vote for kerry (i was hating to anyway) because i got several calls from his campaign.
i'm tellin you kentuckians don't like those politcal calls at alls.
and as far as little ernie being a good ol regular kentucky feller...cough cough bunch of horse shit cough--hell forget the cough. laughable bunch of horse shit from one good ol boy kentuckian who has lived in hollywood for decades about another good ol republican butt boy. my gaydar thinks maybe ol ern is another of the republican undercover closet cases.
it is a bit troublesome that mondiardo has been kept in the background so much. he is very popular with regular people and with pretty much all of eastern kentucky. maybe some screwy regional jealousy. bashear is from louisville and dr. dan is from e. ky. lots of w. ky-ians think the rest of the state is a sort of useless appendage.
I guess the vast majority of Kentucky saw through the Reslug hatred and Non-Christian like tactics and voted out a corrupt, criminal Reslug.
I'm sorry. It is Mongiardo.
Sorry Dr. Dan.
Pat Boone has always preached typical Non-Christian Reslug hatred, but is probably hanging out in the men's bathroom tapping his foot and prostituting himself too.
Every picture on his website looks like Liberace, Richard Simmons and Siegried & Roy. Cowboy hats, vests, thick makeup, seductive poses. And that chestnut dyed hair? I thought that heterosexuals don't dye their hair.
David in Chelsea, MA @ 66:
Everyone should flood his ass with the Dick-in-the-box picture.
Why anyone would listen to that washed up relic from the 50's is beyond me! He is cut from the same mold as that bible thumping witch from the 70's. Anita Bryant
The Republicans must be pretty desperate if they have to get endorsements via this fossil from the past!

I thought I saw Fred Phelps walking down the Kansas Turnpike, collecting cans in order to raise $11 million to satisfy the Maryland judgment against him!
MichaelKC @ 146:
LMAO!!! And this person tried so very hard to sound like they knew what they were talkin about...buuuuut just couldn't pull it off, so HA! And since when is tolerance a big word? Now disestablishmentarianism is a big word...tolerance...not so much...
What about antidisestablishmentariansm?
Or even secondunclethriceremoveddisestablishmentarianism?
Or how about that little Welsh town named
Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch?
