For the last four years, Pamela Geller of AtlasShrugs.com and the American Freedom Defense Initiative have held events at CPAC featuring guests she invites to discuss the influence of Islamism on America. But this year, the American Conservative Union (ACU) has no room for Geller or her message.
[...]
In years past, the events were standing room only thanks to their popularity, but that apparently was not enough to counter pressure brought to bear from somewhere to exclude Geller’s message.

In its attempt to redefine Conservatism, CPAC is defining itself into irrelevance.
CPAC is OBama is AlQuaida
Don’t know about Norquist, but this is a huge mistake on the part of CPAC.
Islam is pure evil, period.
There. Fixed it.
Islam is pure evil. Yet, Pamela Geller was invited to speak with Dr. Mark Gabriel, she absolutely refused.
Moral and righteous values are. Period.
Anything less is less, but it is not moral nor righteous.
Trying to redefine a label to capitalize on the meaning it once had without toeing the line, or even going so far as to undermine the former concept isn't Conservative, it is deceptive and patently evil. It is a fraud of the most diabolical nature and should be eschewed by anyone who values their values.
You are a master of tautological extrapolation.
I got my PhD in redundancy from the Department of Redundancy Department...
There.
You did it all over again for a second time.
...or more.
Yep. He’s been an arab agent for years.
(8^D) Yep!
Dr. Mark Gabriel has an interesting background. Is he Muslim or Christian; do you know?
I’m sure Pam had a very good reason. No doubt her contacts are extensive and she may have information about Gabriel you and I do not have. Her caution is smart.

Mark A. Gabriel
Mark A. Gabriel, is the name of writer of Islamic affairs, who lives in the United States under “religious asylum”. He is the author of five books critical of Islam, including Islam and the Jews: The Unfinished Battle and Journey into the Mind of an Islamic Terrorist. While the books have sold tens of thousands of copies, they also constitute the only source of information about the author, and as such, are self-referencing and ***not verified by any unrelated sources***

Sounds like someone else we know...
Trying to redefine a label..........
That’s sounds just like the effects of “political correctness”
Mark is a Christian convert. Read his background. This man has written the books on Islam and Christanity, that no one else can or will write. Ever. He has the insight, that our state dept., will not allow to be heard. If you are truly interested, try reading Mark, say with- “Jesus and Muhammad.” This gentleman, recieved his first doctorate from Al-Azhar University, Cairo,Egypt. He taught there, the most prestigious Islamic University in our world. If that does not interest you. Good e’nuf. His accomplishments... well you need to read. It’s almost required.
CPAC.....the new progressive gathering of idjits.
Next thing they will bar Sarah Palin and Allen West.
What a bunch of irrelevent effers.
Thank you.
Pam has a bounty on her head.
Muslims hate and fear anyone who criticizes Islam, but especially a strong woman who doesn’t hesitate to expose the vicious and inhumane manner in which Islam treats its own women and children, as well as other folks. The fact she is also a Jewess makes her doubly a target.
It wouldn’t surprise me if there are stealth Muslims operating in the U.S. with the intent of hunting down and eliminating critics of Islam.
CPAC trolling for the muslim terrorist vote?
Trying to woo the anti-Semites again?
Pamela is more of a conservative than 95% of the scheduled speakers.
The republican old guard is still trying to morph itself into democrat-lite.
They don’t care about ideology or core values - they just want to get their hands on the kesy to the treasury again.
Sen Ted Cruz is the Keynote, is Ted Cruz irrelevant?
Is Ted Cruz democrat-lite?
Norquist is like Romney,
in that any conservative
woman is an ENEMY ... to them.
Have you read his books?
Hey, Slick- Have you read his books? How about any books in the last decade?

WAS IT ROVE’S INCOMPETENCE ...OR IS HE A JUDAS GOAT ?
To borrow from Rush Limbaugh for those living Riolinda a Judas goat is used to lead US sheeples to the slaughter pen . The Republicans were given a chance to use a wedge issue to split up the democratic party and blew it.
Besides being unable to equate Obama’s socialist schemes particularly his energy policy running up the costs on everything and still is thus forcing those with limited incomes to go on the dole. BTW the angle here is to blame the system not the folks using it. BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO. Failing to do so would set up “heartless Republicans” counter charge. But it’s a signature of Rove’s past performances when with Bush, as well as Romney’s campaign staff .They didn’t and “Heartless Republicans” became the accepted LIV image .
Explaining Obama’s regime policies in terms those proverbial LIV’s could understand wasn’t even considered. Refusing to attack Obama was based on MSM polling showing his popularity suggesting an intellectual inability by Rove and the GOPES to rejoin any racial charge.
....Does anybody remember what the Democrats did at their 2012 convention ??? First they eliminated any mention of the word GOD...and when they thought twice about doing that they reintroduced the resolution what happened ? They booed God..thrice..That resolution was rammed through just like the Affordable Health Care Act ...That’s a wedge issue within the democrat party.which was not exploited by Roves RINOS and GOPES and the Republicans generally to this day. To properly describe that episode .Its the marriage of the radical and democrat into the hyphenated Demo-Com union.
Was that fact used in any of the material Rove’s RINOS spewed forth during the 2012 Romney or US senate races his group of GOPES (Government Ofthe People Elite Snobs) used on their hit list ? I like using that acronym because it rhymes with dopes.
Noooo ! They could have used that episode to point out how far to the left the democrat party has hyphenated into; Demo-Coms ...Instead well we don’t like Aikin ...He said what ? OMG OMG he’s unqualified ...If there was a chance he would have been burned at the stake by Rove’s RINOS and the so called “conservative “ talkies spouting Rove’s tripe.
The Aikin or O’Donnells response to a set up phoney issue had nothing to do with any thing that would ever occur in any legislation that would pass their respective desks had they been elected.
THE RESPONSE YOU DIDN’T HEAR WAS THIS “”While at their convention the Democrats were busy denying God . Aikin believes in something like the ten commandments. Including Thou shalt not steal and doesn’t believe that getting elected to office gives you a license to do steal ... Which his opponent seems to have done rather well since being in office. The same thing with Mourdock,O’Donnnell, etc,etc, etc.
That presentation could have been expanded to Reid, Pelosi, and the slew of Demo-Com pigs at the trough. Expanding their personal wealth at the expense of the US taxpayers.
Now this bunch seems to be saying if you hold a religious view don’t run for office... We’re gonna save the Republican party ....to be finished off by Obama and the hypenated democrats..
Roves RINOS wrong for America and GOPES are wrong for winning elections ...
This CPAC convention is a shut sham shame
I wouldn’t associate with an organization that turns away Geller. In fact, I’d turn them away.
Jeb Bush, Newt Gingrich, Mitt Romney, Eric Cantor, Mitch McConnell ...
The fact that those people are invited speakers tells you that the ACU’s goal has little to do with conservatism.
No. I haven’t. I have studied islam independently for years. Big time. Know thine enemy.
Yep, and Obozo says he is a Christian. But his actions reveal much more than what he says. “Taqiyah”
Allen West, who argued on air, for the NDAA. That wonderful gentleman.
CPAC is now CINOPAC.
Outstanding. Have you read any of Gabriels’ books?
I'm not. If this were the lineup at the 2012 Republican National Convention would you then say that the RNC is now conservative? Sure, there is plenty of red meat in the line up but the inclusion of so many establishment politicians who are in no way conservative must beg the question as to whether CPAC is really for conservatism or just a "fire up the base" RNC rally.
That might all be well and fine and good, but he is not the be all and end all. There are others who are just as educated and just as insightful...maybe moreso.
As for me, when I want to know something, a convert is not my first or last stop.
So when is Sarah Palin supposed to speak at CPAC? She hasn’t mentioned one word about it. Until she says so, then it ain’t happening.
no
cpac committed suicide when they went with the homosexuals a few years ago. it is only relavent to the MSM.
So, you have read the Koran. Perhaps, maybe, kinda and sorta. Yet, you have no idea of who Mark Gabriel is and has been. Yah, you are the clued-in, Mr. Study Pants. Good for you.
Sounds like Grover Norquist had a hand in this. The CPAC is being absorbed by the Muslim Brotherhood.
They could scratch Jeb Bush and Eric Cantor and I probably wouldn’t complain. I think the establishment is pushing them on us for 2016. There may be another one or two squishes on the list that I don’t need to hear from again.
I’m done with squishes.
I was simply struck by that comment which perfectly describes Obama. It seemed to be an indictment, or at the very least something to discredit Mr. Gabriel’s work; yet, would they have said the same about Obama?
Ummmm. That response was just silly.
I know who mark gabriel is. I was responding to a question from someone who didn’t....
The quote was from wiki.
What YOU think about what I know is about as important to me as honey booboo’s new hairstyle...which is like...nil.
The fact of the matter is; it is not well, fine or good. Because our state dep’t, has not been listening to good men, like him. You have not read any of Gabriel’s work, nor do you care to do so. Yet, just like our heros, in the state dep’t, you echo hollow, and then, hollow again. Your man Hillary, and now Kerry- are giving you full throat. Keep singing, the carnaries are dead.
