Olbermann slams Pat Boone for comparing Prop. 8 protesters to terrorists in Mumbai...
Is Pat Boone trying to become the Anita Bryant of this era? He made some outrageous comments saying that the Prop. 8 protesters are like the terrorists that attacked Mumbai. Here's an excerpt of his crazy rant:
Boone: "Watch your evening news. Read your newspaper. Are you unaware of the raging demonstrations in our streets, in front of our churches and synagogues, even spilling into these places of worship, and many of these riots turning defamatory and violent? Have you not seen the angry distorted faces of the rioters, seen their derogatory and threatening placards and signs, heard their vows to overturn the democratically expressed views of voters, no matter what it costs, no matter what was expressed at the polls? Twice?"
Thank God for Keith Olbermann who calls Boone out in the video above.
I refer to California's Proposition 8.

The question is: Who's that Pat Boone and who let him out of the mental care facility?
I actually read his article and was disgusted. He not only does not understand American Civics, the different types of government, and democracy and its many implementations (some just as bad as any dictatorship), he obviously doesn't remember the Civil Rights movement of the 60s. Also, in our constitutional republic, when we say "by the people, for the people", it means that our constitution is to protect THE PEOPLE, which includes "all the people" NOT "a majority of the people". Otherwise, we might as well degrade ourselves into one of those countries we think we're better than, who divide their own people with laws like Prop 8.
