Not even the promise of crooner Pat Boone singing oldies from a spinning stage could save what was intended to be the premier birther event of the year later this month in Arizona.

Organizers of the gala, which would have featured Boone alongside Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio and some of the nation’s other prominent conspiracy theorists, broke the news online Friday that it was canceled “due to inadequate ticket sales.”

The Sept. 22 event was meant to bring together people from throughout the nation who believe Barack Obama’s birth certificate is fake and therefore he is ineligible to be president. Organizers planned to use it to call on Congress to take up Arpaio’s yearlong investigation into the documents.

The announcement was disappointing to the few people who did plan to attend, as evidenced by a handful of web postings about the cancellation. It didn’t take long for true believers to spin elaborate conspiracy theories about why the event was called off.

This TPM piece grabbed me for some reason!

Arpaio makes me mad and makes me laugh and makes me wonder at times whether or not in his 80 years on this planet if he has not committed more sins than the vast number of the prisoners under his jurisdiction.

I have written 20? blogs on this fascist prick and I do not intend to repeat my allegations here.

I guess the Pat Boone reference confused me.

I mean where is the fellow who promises to die or be imprisoned (Ted the noncogent nugent) figure in all of the planning for this national event?

Just as an aside, I sometimes wish I had one of those cranial computer implants so that I might have a chance to immediately mute my TV every time Boone's kid shows up singing You Light Up My Life in recent advertisement.

Pat is a strange guy.

He actually was the fellow who caused the removal of the one of the single most Psychos to ever grace the Reagan Administration.

Butz resigned his cabinet post on October 4, 1976 after a second gaffe. News outlets revealed a racist remark he made in front of entertainer Pat Boone and former White House counsel John Dean while aboard a commercial flight to California following the Republican National Convention. The October 18, 1976 issue of Time reported the comment while obscuring its vulgarity:[6]

Butz started by telling a dirty joke involving intercourse between a dog and a skunk. When the conversation turned to politics, Boone, a right-wing Republican, asked Butz why the party of Lincoln was not able to attract more blacks. The Secretary responded with a line so obscene and insulting to blacks that it forced him out of the Cabinet last week and jolted the whole Ford campaign. Butz said: "I'll tell you what the coloreds want. It's three things: first, a tight pussy; second, loose shoes; and third, a warm place to shit."

After some indecision, Dean used the line in Rolling Stone, attributing it to an unnamed Cabinet officer. But New Times magazine enterprisingly sleuthed out Butz's identity by checking the itineraries of all Cabinet members.

Butz was certainly not the only one in the Nixon and Ford administration to make racist remarks: in 1971, President Nixon himself told Donald Rumsfeld, that blacks “basically are just out of the trees. Now let’s face it, they are.” (Nixon was wise enough not to make such remarks in public.)

Anyway Pat Boone was on a plane with this idiot and heard him say:

All a Negro really wants is a warm place to shit!

In case you forgot, Pat Boone was a white guy who made tons of money singing the Black Songs:

Many of Boone's hit singles were R&B covers by Black artists. These included: "Ain't That a Shame" by Fats Domino; "Tutti Frutti" and "Long Tall Sally" by Little Richard;[7] "At My Front Door (Crazy Little Mama)" by the El Dorados; and the blues ballads "I Almost Lost My Mind" by Ivory Joe Hunter, "I'll be Home" by The Flamingos and "Don't Forbid Me" by Charles Singleton. ( music.)

TUTTI FRUTI

Well Pat reports it and the psycho is fired; I mean the psycho was gone within a couple of days.

So now this octogenarian was going to appear on stage with an aspiring octogenarian to sing the tune of psychos claiming that our current President is serving his office without the proper papers necessary to hold said office.

In case you forgot again, Pat Boone was a white guy who made tons of money singing the Black Songs:

Many of Boone's hit singles were R&B covers by Black artists.

Well Pat has gone psycho.

On August 29, 2009, Boone wrote an article comparing liberalism to cancer, likening it to "black filthy cells.”

I HAVE A DREAM

Pat has had this dream:

News Bulletin: In a stunning, unprecedented civilian uprising, President Obama, Vice President Biden, Speaker Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Reid were recalled and sent packing. Practically overnight, responding to the national emergency, an extraordinary election propelled entertainer/activist Pat Boone into the White House. The new president just revealed his first-term agenda. ... 

Wow, I had this crazy dream last night! Maybe it's something I ate, or more likely, all the insane stuff we've all been hearing constantly on the news...nightmares...

YOU LIGHT UP MY LIFE PAT BOONE; ALL I NEED IS SOME KEROSINE AND A LIGHTER AND WE CAN BLOW THIS ENTIRE MESS ALL UP!

I finish this up with my idol, Steve King

STRANGE ASIDES

The comments Vilsack was referring to took place at an event with constituents back in May: “You want a good bird dog? You want one that’s going to be aggressive? Pick the one that’s the friskiest … not the one that’s over there sleeping in the corner,” King said. He added: “You get the pick of the litter and you got yourself a pretty good bird dog. Well, we’ve got the pick of every donor civilization on the planet. We’ve got the vigor from the planet to come to America.”

It doesn’t stop with pets, though. King has previously touted an electric fence at the border “with the kind of current that would not kill somebody,” since “we do this with livestock all the time."

I have no idea how to define words like 'racism' anymore!

Repubs have no idea how to properly define words like 'socialism' any longer.

I do know this.

If there were a time machine and we sent Arpaio and Boone and King and Rush and Beckerhead and Erickson and a host of other right wing braggarts back to the Third Reich; these folks would do just fine.

They would all fit right in just fine.

There is hope.

Arpaio's dream concert is kaput due to lack of interest.
