CPAC Turns Away Pamela Geller
Big Government ^ | March 1, 2013 | Breitbart News

Posted on 03/02/2013 1:23:08 AM PST by Bratch

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.

After his comments about the 2nd amendment I think a lot people are having second thoughts.

They have sprinkled a few conservatives for decoration, so that people like you can say "see, see, there are conservatives speaking".

There is a whole bunch of those who want to remake conservatism and the republican party.

Carly Fiorina is an ACU board member?!! When did Carly become so prominent in the conservative movement?

Dude. YOU are nutz. Trying to have a dialogue with a crazy person is self defeating, so farewell my silly primps. Say hi to Rumplestilpskin for me. (With apologies to Richard Pryor.)

I would add obnoxious twit who sounds like a 15 y.o., but that's just me ;)

The Islamic Free market Institute is a co-sponsor of CPAC, and the Muslim Public Affairs Council, who blamed Israel for 9/11, is a prized participant. Oh, and they also are in bed with the ACLU. Anyone who thinks that at this point CPAC has anything to do with American conservatism is a sucker. They sold out some time ago.

Not one of them will address the communist-Islamist alliance that put a foreign enemy combatant in our White House - who is systematically destroying this country’s foundations, abandoning our allies, and lifting up our enemies. They are guard dogs that rolled over and fell asleep while the enemy ransacked the whole house.

Right now there is nobody who gets much but a “meh” from me. Nobody in the public eye has the courage to be real with the country about what is happening. Some are braver than others but none will address the elephant in the room.

If so, that would explain a lot.

If I were Sarah Palin I think I’d stay away from this group.

the most prestigious Islamic University in our world.

Interesting but hardly impressive, since his major achievement was memorizing the Koran. This guy is a self promoting religious nut. I don't blame a serious person like Geller for not wanting him creating distractions and diluting the message.

Before we condemn CPAC, let’s get some more facts. Neither CPAC nor Geller is quoted in the linked article. There is nothing. Incredibly bad journalism.

That was my first thought: I sense the heavy hand of Grover and his Palestinian wife pushing CPAC in a malign direction.

15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.

They have one, and a good portion of the other...that is why it is becoming increasing difficult to ascertain any difference between Democrat and Republican.

Well, Ted Cruz is giving the keynote. Btw, who died and made you the spokesperson for the Conservative movement?

The ACU owns and operates CPAC. Its board of directors includes Suhail Kahn, who Is engaged in a litany of Muslim based front groups and Grover Norquist, who is an unabashed supporter of Islam. That’s all I need to know about why CPAC shut Pam Geller out.
