'Barack Obama WAS born in Kenya' say Pat Boone.
Old fart.


Pat Boone, the Fifties' crooner, has been filmed saying he believes that Barack Obama was born in Kenya and not the U.S.
Announcing his 'birther' opinions, Boone said the President's long-form birth certificate, which was finally released in April, was a 'photoshopped fraud'.
Boone, 77, who is a member of the Beverly Hills Tea Party, also alleged that the President was 'spending millions of dollars' of taxpayers' money to cover up 'the truth'.

38. Pat's always made his money by pandering to racists
whether pushing racist theories today, or giving racist teens a 'safe, white' alternative to those scary black rock and rollers like Fats Domino back in the 50s.

5. Pat Boone's idea of humor is putting his dick in a cardboard box. And then pointing to it.
And then taking a picture. Really.

BTW, I take no responsibility for any therapy sessions you may require after Googling that, if you choose to do so.

53. Yes, it would matter.
Under the law that was in effect when Obama was born, Obama's mother was too young to convey citizenship by jus sanguinis (the law of the blood). He is nevertheless a natural-born citizen by virtue of jus soli (the law of the soil) because he was born in Hawaii (and his parents were not foreign diplomats, which you have to add because there's a different rule for diplomats).

American citizenship can be present at birth through either of these principles. One wing of the birther movement contends, quite without constitutional authority, that it's not either-or, but that both factors must be present -- i.e., you can't be President unless you were born within the United States to two citizen parents. Some of these people say that McCain wasn't eligible because he was born in Panama. Whether the McCain birthers are more demented or less demented than the Obama birthers is arguable.

57. Thanks for the informative post...this issue always seemed so far...
beyond the realm of reality that I have never taken the time to delve into it. I had always thought to myself: "So what if he was born Kenya..." Little did I know that if he was, it would be a big deal.

24. false claim often repeated....
songs were chosen by his record company. he is on record as giving credit to black artists and writers. sales of Boone's records made money for the black writers within the legal framework of the day, which was not Boone's doing. He has a lot for which to be criticized but "stealing songs from Black singers" is not one of them

36. Here's a vid of Pat Boone speaking....er....crooning in tongues. All you ever had to know about this

self important hypocrite. And it's a duet with another
phoney evangelical, Rev. Harald Bredesen. I didn't know
speaking in tongues involved duets. I always thought it
was an individual ecstatic thing. Like putting snakes in
your mouth.

First we find out that Tony Bennett's a 9/11 Truther at heart, now we have Pat Boone who's always been a right wing nutjob comes out as a birther--I guess he didn't get the memo about the long form birth certificate.
