"Conservative Katy Perry fans are roaring mad after the pop diva's vocal endorsement of Hillary Clinton at the Democratic National Convention.

Alicia Keys, Paul Simon and Lenny Kravitz also performed at the four-day DNC, but Perry's presence particularly rankled because of her roots as a child of evangelical pastors.

"Time for a @katyperry boycott people...let her follow her queen @HillaryClinton into the garbage bin," tweeted one detractor."

I guess they missed that the first song that got KP noticed was "I Kissed a Girl (and I Liked It). Oh, and there was the whipped cream shooting bra in her California Girls video.

Somehow I don't think Katy has been interested in the evangelical audience for a long time.

1. Her parents raised her in a religious cult...

No wonder why they are staunch conservatives, and she is a staunch liberal. Glad she escaped that madness.

[TexasBushwhacker]

4. She tried to be a Christian singer first

Using her real name Katy Hudson. No success.

[JaneyVee]

12. They were Pentecostal in a traveling ministry who spoke in tongues.

Weird shit.

[TexasBushwhacker]

15. Marilyn Manson came from a Pentocostal family too

The more they're repressed, the more they rebel.

[JaneyVee]

17. Aren't Pentecostal's also those snake handlers?

Whenever weird culty Christian shit goes on, it's usually Pentecostal.

[TexasBushwhacker]

20. That's just one sect in Appalachia and the Deep South n/t

[meow2u3]

23. And they wonder why so many young people renounced religion

nt

[rurallib]

2. As if they needed something else to hate

[liberal N proud]

3. Another if you you are a Christian, you can't... restriction

I quit going to church when they tried to tell me that I couldn't be a Democrat.

Most of these nut jobs will tell you that all non religious music is at the devil's hands.

5. Evangelicals aren't very smart

Did you see the photo of some guy and a woman who are important somehow with evangelicals, with Trump in his office. It was shot in from of a wall with photos on it, and set up so that a playboy cover was right next to the woman. Trump had a shit eating grin on his face and it sure made the women look like an idiot to stand smiling next to the playboy cover.

He is pulling a con job on everyone, and the one good thing is he is making the GOP look like complete idiots for supporting him. How will they ever be able to come back from this mess? I see all the republican politicians kissing up to hime one day, and the next day they are having to explain his insane racist remarks. Do they really think it won't hurt them in the future?

7. Not just some guy, Jerry Falwell Jr!

And Trump has his thumb up as always.

[mythology]

19. I'd be more embarrassed at being in a picture with Trump

[Ned_Devine]

6. Why not just say they're boycotting shitty music?

I make it my own personal preference not to listen to her weak sauce music and it has nothing to do with religion.

[TexasBushwhacker]

9. It's just pop music. Not my thing

but some folks seem to like it.

[LiberalFighter]

8. Are they admitting they listen to her music?

I seriously doubt they do. It is usually difficult to boycott something that they never patronized before.

[GeorgeGist]

10. All 3 of them?

[giftedgirl77]

11. Didn't she sing at one of HRC's rallies during the primary?

[GoCubsGo]

18. Several of them.

Somebody joked that she follows Hillary around like a fangirl.

[MohRokTah]

13. Funny, they called for the same boycott in 2008 when she endorsed Obama...

and then again in 2012 when she endorsed Obama again.

[Skidmore]

14. They need to broaden their news sources beyond

Fox and The Watchtower. Katie Perry came to Iowa to help Hillary launch her campaign before the caucuses. It has been well known fact that she supported Hillary and stated it back then very forthrightly.

[Cosmocat]

16. This is just another in a line of things these idiots have an issue with her over

Dark horse was enough to set them off on their Illuminati bender.

My one daughter loved her super bowl show and played it more times than I can remember.

Half the girls who came over to visit said their parents wouldn't let them watch it ...

Fucking idiots, when I saw her at the convention I knew their deranged heads would be exploding.

[RazBerryBeret]

21. Not an Evangelical....

but I've been boycotting her music since.... well, the beginning of her career. hehe.

[PasadenaTrudy]

22. Same here :) nt

[Fresh_Start]

24. I thought they were already boycotting her for "I kissed a girl"

cause she was promoting the gay agenda

[misterhighwasted]

31. Oh nooo..a Double Boycott on K Perry!!

[whistler162]

40. Isn't that like a double negative?

[misterhighwasted]

41. Yup! ..or the title of her new mega hit song

She could sooo pull that off!

[MFM008]

25. I like her

Seems like a good kid.

[Siwsan]

26. That's it! I'm calling for a Scott Baio boycott

I can play that game, too!!!

[Zen Democrat]

28. Too late. That boycott appears to have been successful for decades!

[SharonClark]

37. LOL!

[relayerbob]

29. Too late

Even Scott Baio's been boycotting Scott Baio for 30 odd (and I mean odd) years lol

[LongtimeAZDem]

27. They can kiss my ass, and like it (nt)

[NastyRiffraff]

30. No WONDER she doesn't have a good education

Her evangelical upbringing explains it.

Her music isn't my taste, but I admire her for overcoming her family and religion and making a success.

[auntpurl]

32. Unbelievable that they are indirectly supporting Trump

A serial adulterer who's had 5 children with 3 different wives, cheats people out of their money, and demeans disabled people and the military.

Good Christian values.

[librarylu]

35. He's anti-Muslim.

That makes it all okay.

[rjsquirrel]

33. Sorry but she ain't that country

I suspect her market is considerably less reliant on evangelicals than the Dixie Chicks.

[Laffy Kat]

34. I'm sure she thought about that beforehand.

And doesn't give a shit. Don't care for her that much myself, but good for her.

[AgadorSparticus]

36. I'm surprised they even listen to Katy Perry's music and I doubt she gives a shit if they do boycott

[kestrel91316]

38. They've been boycotting her since she quit being a Christian contemporary singer.

[BigDemVoter]

39. Oh let those dumb fuckers boycott.

Progressives will more than pick up the slack and give Ms. Perry a nice profit.

[Gothmog]

42. Katy Perry was great at the convention
