Phoenix Tea Party Patriots' BirtherFest event cancelled due to lack of interest

by David Safier

The cancelled Phoenix Tea Party Patriots' September 22 event wasn't actually called BirtherFest. It was a "Cold Case Posse Event" billed as "an exciting time as the Greater Phoenix Tea Party and Surprise Tea Party present an event to support Sheriff Joe and his investigation into the fraudulent Obama documents."

Sharing star billing: Sheriff Joe Arpaio; LTC Terry Lakin (a birther doctor who refused to deploy to Afghanistan because he doesn't believe Obama was born in the U.S.); and Pat Boone.

3. Their balloons all popped.

[formercia]

6. Ignorant Fucks

It makes me sad to see our Country going down hill like this.

This is what Hate Radio and Tea-wanker Propaganda does to people.

Lack of a decent education doesn't help either.

[relayerbob]

12. Actually, this should be at least a little encouraging

Since they couldn't find enough ignorant morons to actually hold the event. Perhaps it means people are slowly starting to wise up

[niyad]

7. the dr. refused a direct order, and is STILL in the military?

[pinboy3niner]

10. No--he was dismissed from the Army after serving 5 months at Leavenworth

iirc, he also was stripped of his rank (but I'm not positive about that).

[DonViejo]

14. 'Birther' Dismissed from Army for Refusing Deployment, Sentenced to Six Months in Prison

Lt. Col. Terry Lakin, a doctor who refused deployment to Afghanistan because he questioned whether President Obama was born in the United States, was dismissed from the Army today and sentenced to six months in military prison for refusing to obey orders.

It was a less than honorable discharge too.

[kestrel91316]

17. If they sent him to Leavenworth, I am pretty sure they also stripped him of

his rank and gave him a dishonorable discharge........

[heaven05]

18. ???

should be under leavenworth, and he better not be despoiling an officers rank! Traitorous dog!

[msanthrope]

19. Lost all his VA benefits/pension, too. nt

[pinboy3niner]

20. And his retirement benefits would have been worth $45,000/year

He let the birthers egg him on, and he'll pay the price for it the rest of his life.

[msanthrope]

26. It is what he deserves...I guess RimJob can pass the cup for him. nt

[lonestarnot]

8. Paul Penzone! Tee hee r pie hole!

[ChairmanAgnostic]

9. I called the number for tix information

They don't even mention it.

LOL

[jerseyjack]

11. What a great fukin' lineup. Pat Boone ! I can't wait.

Let me know when tix go on sale.

[pitbullgirl1965]

29. Me too!

LMAO. Member this? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_a_Metal_Mood:_No_More_Mr._Nice_Guy
Although half those bands aren't heavy metal. I still cringe to think of him trying to sing Judas Priest. D:

[Honeycombe8]

13. Geez. Reminds me of the movie The Happening. People become rabid murderers suddenly....

for some unknown reason. Then mysteriously near the end of the movie everyone who hasn't died so far returns to normal, after a strange wind comes a'blowin' through.

[bayareaboy]

15. Pat Boone ....

So he can come on and sell some something then he can give over the mike to his Doughtier so she sell something then they can sing "love letters in the sand" ?

Pat Boone, now there is one man who should have done drugs.

[yellowcanine]

16. Pat Boone is a barfer? Why am I not surprised?

[EC]

22. Pat Boone blames

Motown for his career ending. It was really because he just wasn't very good.

[oldhippydude]

28. even the lenin sisters lasted longer...n/t

[Big Orange Jeff]

34. If it weren't for racism, this has-been would've been a never-was. nt

nt

[yellowcanine]

36. He was a white singer trying to sing black music while wearing white buck shoes and who later tried

to revive his career by making a heavy metal album. How lame is that?

[EC]

37. Oh yeah

I forgot about that heavy metal stuff...didn't he put on some kind of biker type costume or chains or something? I remember laughing my head off when I saw it.

[SoapBox]

21. Couldn't happen to a nicer grop of Fundies...

Racists, Bigots, Liars and Assholes...and with guns.

Seriously America...we can do WAY better than these loons.

[TeamPooka]

23. canceled due to lack of "patriotism"

[MissNostalgia]

25. In Arizona O_O

This is a state that on a governing level wanted to disqualify the President of the United States from a voter ballot because he is their boogie man under the bed and in their closets. I'm not going to pull too much optimism that Arizona is changing from this story but take glee Terry Lakin, Pat Boone and that future felon Joe Arpaio had a bad day.

[mfcorey1]

27. Hee hee!

[busterbrown]

30. And Pat Boon.......

I just love it. I knew when this guy was popular that there was something
just not right with him.

[ThoughtCriminal]

31. Surprise Tea Party

I'm pretty sure that is a reference to the town of "Surprise, AZ"

Love the I-10 exit sign:



Sure, camp here! What could possibly happen? It's the perfect setting for a bad 1970's "Made for TV" movie. The only thing missing to add to the plot is a nuclear power plant (that's one of two more exits west).

[lonestarnot]

32. I think Brewer tried to retire there before she endorsed Mr. President. PNPP wouldn't let her in.

35. Arizona Birther Event Goes Bust

Sheriff Joe Arpaio, Pat Boone And Others Won’t Hold Birtherpalooza Now That Low Ticket Sales Forces Cancellationb

A public event featuring Sheriff Joe Arpaio, Pat Boone and other prominent birthers on Sept. 22 at Celebrity Theatre has been cancelled.

Arpaio, a devout proponent of the political faction that doesn’t believe President Barack Obama is a U.S. citizen, has enjoyed some support on this issue in the past, mainly stemming from his “cold case posse” investigation. The Sept. 22 event, which was being organized by local tea party activist Jeff Lichter, was actually called The Greater Phoenix Tea Party Cold Case Posse Event.

The event had been scheduled earlier this summer and was advertised as a “fraudulent Obama documents” event.

38. Did the stupid sheeple not see that PAT FUCKING BOONE was going to be there?

There should have been lines around the block for tickets.
