[Pat Boone Equates pro-gay protestors with Mumbai Terrorists](http://www.hrc.org/news/11676.htm) > [@](#): > > “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?” Boone went on to state, “What troubles me so deeply, and should trouble all thinking Americans, is that there is a real, unbroken line between the jihadist savagery in Mumbai and the hedonistic, irresponsible, blindly selfish goals and tactics of our homegrown sexual jihadists.” > [@](#): > > “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?” Boone added, “Hate is hate, no matter where it erupts. And hate, unbridled, will eventually and inevitably boil into violence.” Are you fucking shitting me? How in the fucking hell are those things anything alike? Words fail me. ---

😕:eek:😕 my mind is boggled… boogled even… what a dipshit. Is it any surprise that he has this attitude tho? I mean, the metaphor is kind of a surprise for it’s, ahem, breath-taking scope, but the attitude doesn’t surprise me. ETA: I don’t think that his commentary has had much effect on the world at large, seeing as how that article is nearly 6 months old. ---

OTOH, [this](http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=82830) is gonna be kinda fun to pick apart. > [@Pat "Dipshit" Boone](#): > > Marriage is not a governmental creation; it is a time honored and biblically ordained institution that is subject not to the government but to the will of the people. How did people in parts of the world without the bible come to start marrying, then? What is the government if it isn’t “the will of the people”? OK, I got my slap in… who’s next? ---
