Right. What’s your point?
That perhaps it was made up?
Oh, no…
It was on the INTERNET
It must be real!
So, you don’t think Pat Boone really wrote the column? What, exactly, would be served by pretending that he did?
I didn’t say that I don’t think he did…
I didn’t even bother to read the link.
I did suggest that the world news daily is a supermarket rag, and have their own agenda to persue…
ie, selling newspapers that naive people will read…
as obviously the people in this thread did.
(or would, if their firewall blocked the article)
For the clue-impaired:
I am saying that World News Daily is a troll.
Is this a whoosh?
DING! DING! DING! DING!
I love this line (emphasis mine):
Let’s see, counting the number of Ph.D degrees that Pat has along with those of others in the room then you’ll have approximately… the number of others in the room. (Pat graduated with a high school diploma from a Fundamentalist Christian liberal arts high school & junior college in Tennessee and that in the early 1950s; I’m guessing their cosmological and life sciences research departments weren’t cutting edge, though if they were this was in 1954, aka the era of “Crick… Crick… is that the guy Watson went with after he left Sherlock Holmes or after he stoped taking phone messages for Alexander Graham Bell?”) Then there was the little bankruptcy problem he had when he had to pay almost $1 million in fines and refunds for a non-FDA approved acne medicine he was the public spokesperson for and also secretly the half-owner of the company that manufactured and promoted and gave personal testimonials from his daughters for the effectiveness of (all of the testimonials lies). Hypocrite.
And his wife is the one who prayed at neighbor Liberace’s bedside in spite of having to get through bodyguards and high voltage fences to do it and in spite of the (very devoutly Catholic) pianist not particularly wanting his next door neighbor (the very Protestant [and Church of Christ excommunicate]) Mrs. Foley-Boone to pray with him.
Pat also wrote a cool article on who is and who isn’t a patriot. He’s written more but it’s still being peer reviewed by Charlie Daniels and Ann Coulter.
Hmmm…another quasi-quote from WND and ad hominem attacks with “uncited” quotes.
yep… SDMB fighting ignorance.
Scottkris, what is your point? Or, better yet, what is your problem???
How about a link from Pat Boone’s official website linking directly to those WND articles?
Second column, bottom of the Quick Links section.
I apologize for the background music in advance.
If that’s not enough of a cite for you, what about his own blog?
No problem…as I said I did not read any of the links, and was asking for a non-tabloid link.
Kudos, and all that jazz…
I’m lazy and wanted a second opinion…
Relax.
It’s my understanding that WND is not World News Daily, supermarket tabloid (and are you sure you’re not thinking of Weekly World News, scottkris?), but World Net Daily, right-wing Fundamentalist wacko website with a bit of an Armageddon-wish.
Are you trying to debunk something here, scottkris? You might want to be more clear with that. And more careful with your assertions.
Looks like I’m a little late. Oh, well.
“Bat Boy is Gay!”
'Sokay. Perhaps I was wrong as well…
So it wasn’t a whoosh. You were just being an idiot.
Glad we got that cleared up.
That is one ugly blog.
Somebody call Matt Daemon!
