[QUOTE]Not even the promise of crooner Pat Boone singing oldies from a spinning stage could save what was intended to be the [URL="http://tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com/2012/08/birtherpalooza_arpaio_rnc.php"]premier birther event[/URL] 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 [URL="http://phoenixteaparty.ning.com/"]“due to inadequate ticket sales.”[/URL]
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 [URL="http://tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com/2012/07/sheriff_joe_arpaio_birther_stunt.php"]yearlong investigation[/URL] 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.
One theory could be found on the Facebook page of Linda Bentley, an Arizona tea party activist who had been promoting the event. A visitor to her page wrote that [URL="https://www.facebook.com/linda.bentley.73/posts/385371938200181"]it had been doomed[/URL] because Arpaio was unwilling to take his probe even further and investigate the president for murder.
“The REASON the EVENT by Sheriff Joe & his Cold Case POSSE was CANCELLED is because the Sheriff & others are TOO DUMB to SEE the MURDERS Barack Obama had his Security Adviser John Brennan commit on Obama’s Gay Lovers in Chicago,” the visitor wrote.
Besides Boone and Arpaio, the event was also set to feature former Army Lt. Col. Terrence Lakin, who was court martialed and sentenced to six months in military prison for disobeying orders to deploy to Afghanistan. Lakin refused to go because he said he didn’t believe Obama was in office legitimately.
The venue, Celebrity Theatre, would have featured seating in the round and a spinning stage in the center. It normally hosts more mainstream events like concerts for touring rock bands. But the nature of this event obviously took some explaining for the owners. Even before the cancellation, the theater posted a disclaimer on the [URL="http://celebritytheatre.ticketforce.com/eventperformances.asp?evt=1350"]event’s listing page[/URL].
“Celebrity Theatre does not endorse any political party,” it said. “The views and opinions of this event do not state or reflect those of the Celebrity Theatre, its partners or sponsors.”

I want whatever they're smoking in Arizona.
Wait, maybe not...
[QUOTE=usaokay;37624769]This is somewhat related: Back when I attended High School, a dance surrounding a cartoon theme was canceled because only one ticket was sold. The person who bought it was a mentally handicap girl who cried like hell because it was canceled.

This sounds like something someone would post to troll birthers.
I always feel bad when something fails to go down successfully. Even stupid shit like this.

Oh, you don't smoke it, you ingest it as a liquid in punch cups.

If you have that many negative words strung together in a single sentence, odds are it's either an insane Tea Partier or a massive troll :v:

What the fucking fuck am I reading
The reason the event, organised by/featuring Sheriff Joe and his Posse was canceled is because Sheriff Joe and his Posse are too dumb to realise that Obama had his security advisor John Brennan murder some people, who the publication refers to as gay lovers which may mean gay people, or just somebody close to/important to Obama which the publication doesn't like very much.
I hope that clears it up because it definitely didn't for me.
I thought it had something to do with child birth, not this stupid shit.
God damn, I'm becoming ashamed of my country, more-so than usual.
You should be glad that there were low enough ticket sales to cancel the event.

I'm horrified that any tickets were sold at all.
