World Net Daily Shows Intolerance, Boots Ann Coulter For Speaking At Conference for Gay Republicans

The Lid ^

[Amerisrael]

[I'll say up front I'm in disagreement with the "LID" on this one]:

"World Net Daily has decided to drop conservative pundit and author, Ann Coulter as the keynote speaker for WND's "Taking America Back National Conference" next month. Because of her plan be the keynote speaker at "HOMOCON," an event put together by GOProud the first genuinely conservative group for gay Republicans."

"WND Editor Joseph Farah reports this exchange with Ms Coulter:

'Asked by Farah why she was speaking to GOProud, Coulter said: "They hired me to give a speech, so I'm giving a speech. I do it all the time."

Farah then asked: "Do you not understand you are legitimizing a group that is fighting for same-sex marriage and open homosexuality in the military – not to mention the idea that sodomy is just an alternate lifestyle?"

Coulter responded: "That's silly, I speak to a lot of groups and do not endorse them. I speak at Harvard and I certainly don't endorse their views..."

"Obviously Farah does not agree with the Ronald Reagan Statement The person who agrees with you 80 percent of the time is a friend and an ally — not a 20 percent traitor."

"According to Farah the reason for their rejection of GOProud their support of same-sex marriage and military service for open homosexuals. A look at the group's web site shows those issues are not the groups priorities."

exactly course we still have some who still do not get that and say "well I now one and he is nice so I have no problem" principles or money, money or principles? To me principles, to some others money and power sadly. If she does go there and say that conservatives do not stand with the homosexual agenda and that they need ot understand this and why did they call themselves this when they were called log cabins then I'll support her but until then no way now

Bad move my friends at WND! Coulter understands WWRRD! (What would Ronald Reagan do)... when critized for accepting gay (log Cabin GOP) money... he said (paraphrase) “I’m not signing on to their agenda, they’re signing on to mine”. While he didn’t accept the gay lifestyle, he understood that gays who were for common ground issues of low taxes, less regulation, etc. were valuable allies in the battle for less government. We can work the other stuff out after we send the socialists/fascists packing!

Renauldus Maximus was a true bi-partisan... he LEAD without compromise and convinced doubters of the rightness of his policies! You don’t win 49 states without being “bi-paritsan”. Sadly his success formula was undone by Bush41 & 43, and except for the brief Newt revival in ‘94, the GOP establishment, oft imtimidated by big media, has shown little such courage and resolve since!

I agree with WND on this.

Coulter speaking at a pro-homosexual rally, only shows that she lacks the conviction of her morals, or that she’s too flexible in them. It takes away from the whole point of what she’s trying to say.

IOW, if she agrees to speak in many places where she doesn’t agree with her hosts (and their agenda), IMO, she therefore becomes a sell-out, and in essence, loses credibility (with me anyway).

GOProud is not conservative. They’re regular “gay” activists masquerading (not very well) as “conservatives”. Anyone who reads their legislative agenda will see clearly that it is 90% homosexual agenda.

http://www.goproud.org.php5-12.dfw1-2.websitetestlink.com/federal-legislative-priorities/

Federal Legislative Priorities

GOProud’s Conservative Agenda

The so-called “gay agenda” is defined by the left through a narrow prism of legislative goals. While hate crimes and employment protections may be worthy goals, there are many other important priorities that receive little attention from the gay community. GOProud’s agenda emphasizes conservative and libertarian principles that will improve the daily lives of all Americans, but especially gay and lesbian Americans.

NOTE: “Hate crimes” and forcing people to hire homosexuals are WORTHY GOALS!
1 – TAX REFORM - Death tax repeal; domestic partner tax equity, and other changes to the tax code that will provide equity for gays and lesbians; cut in the capital gains and corporate tax rates to jump start our economy and create jobs; a fairer, flatter and substantially simpler tax code.

NOTE: Domestic partner - more “gay” rights!

2 – HEALTHCARE REFORM – Free market healthcare reform. Legislation that will allow for the purchase of insurance across state lines – expanding access to domestic partner benefits; emphasizing individual ownership of healthcare insurance – such a shift would prevent discriminatory practices by an employer or the government.

NOTE: Domestic partner health benefits - end “discrimination” - code words for “gay” rights!

3 – SOCIAL SECURITY REFORM - Bringing basic fairness to the Social Security system through the creation of inheritable personal savings accounts.

NOTE: “Fairness” is a code word for “gay” rights!

4 – DON’T ASK, DON’T TELL REPEAL – Repeal of the military’s Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy.

NOTE: They want homosexuals in the military!

5 – HOLDING THE LINE ON SPENDING – Standing up for all tax payers against wasteful and unneccessary spending to protect future generations from the mounting federal debt.

NOTE: But they want government spending for “gay” rights!

6 – FIGHTING GLOBAL EXTREMISTS – Standing strong against radical regimes who seek to criminalize gays and lesbians.

NOTE: They want the US to police other countries for “gay” rights!

7 – DEFENDING OUR CONSTITUTION – Opposing any anti-gay federal marriage amendment.

NOTE: THEY WANT HOMOSEXUAL MARRIAGE!

8 – ENCOURAGING COMMUNITY ENTREPRENEURSHIP – Package of free market reforms to encourage and support small businesses and entrepreneurship in the gay community.

NOTE: Tax money to “GAY COMMUNITY”!

9 – REVITALIZING OUR COMMUNITIES – A package of urban related reforms; expanding historic tax preservation credits; support for school choice.

NOTE: They want tax money for old town parts of cities where homosexuals often live!

10 – DEFENDING OUR COMMUNITY – Protecting 2nd amendment rights.

“Joe Farah is a certified nut-job.”

Just because Joe believes that there are pterodactyls flying above the earth at this very moment, does not mean that Joe Farah is a certified nut-job.

Well okay, maybe it does.

I must be elderly

I bet I’m younger than you and what as age got to do with it.

Let me guess you think that if one is against this perversion then they must go to church and be old.

well I’;m not either.
Like many I know we do not go to church, we are not old and we do find it disgusting as like those fools who support them because they say idiotic comments like I know one and they are nice.

so come on then how old are you seeing as you brought age into this

Hope she talks about the health issues related to homosexuals and marriage is one man and one woman. Free Country to cancel as well as for her to speak.

Pray for America

[little jeremiah]

Read the GOProud’s legislative agenda.

She might as well go speak at the Folsom Street Fair.

[bolobaby]

Let me ask a simple question: do sinners need to hear the message of Christ?

I’m not equating Coulter to Christ, I’m simply saying that delivering a message to a perverted group doesn’t necessarily mean you agree with that groups beliefs. If that were so, we could no longer minister to sinners.

Obama would be well-advised to learn this type of grace. For example, he may disagree with Boy Scout policies, but it’s completely classless to not show up at their 100th annual jamboree when invited. Instead he went fund-raising. So his vid got booed.

"I see the homosexual support crew is here."

I don't support homosexuals, and you know it. WARNING: Cease and desist your lies about me.

[DJ MacWoW]

She won’t do that. She gets paid to talk. She’ll say what will get her paid.

[Ev Reeman]

Ann is merely exercising her right to free speech.

[little jeremiah]

Read the GOProud agenda I just posted. They’re not conservative, they’re just an arm of the “gay rights” crowd wanting to push the Republican party in the “gay” friendly direction.

That’s it plain and simple, just like the Log Cabin pukes. Most of whom voted for 0thugga despite “outreach” with Repugs.

[Bulwinkle]

Hmmm... I guess if you drive into DC, Md., Ca., Mass., etc. you should be burned at the stake!

PS: I hate driving in Maryland!

[Neoliberalnot]

this homosexual group is the new log cabins who have changed their name because under log cabins they were busted for being liberal Dems.

Sadly some dopes on the right do not understand this and say we have to include this group who is all for homosexuality and it’s agenda while they vote for the Dems””

manc, you nailed this one. Good job guy, especially the facts on how they actually vote in the general election—they vote with the rats every time.

[Liberty1970]

I am eagerly waiting for a youtube of coulter speaking. If she reads them the riot act then all is well, if she panders, then I won’t pay any more heed to her.

I agree. Something stinks about this. Either they are going to regret having her, or she is not a conservative.

An unrepentant homosexual can have some conservative views, but that does not make them conservative. If one insists on defining oneself by ones' giving in to perverse vices, don't be surprised when people turn away in disgust. What's next, BurglarCon, LiarCon, FraudCon and AdulteryCon for "conservative" activists representing each vice?

[DJ MacWoW]

You don’t win 49 states without being “bi-paritsan”

Another "big tenter" with a losing strategy.

you drive there then you need your head testing first and foremost.
