[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."

It will be interesting to see if Coulter criticizes their agenda, which is, as they unashamedly admit, “all gay”.
