If I were Ann, I’d love it!

If you think being married has anything to do with being or not being gay, you’re clueless.

And if you dare to disagree with her, her fans will insult you.

There can be NO disagreement.

Hardly.
Many of Ann's long-time fans here are DISTURBED by this, but there are also many who SUPPORT her on this.
Hardly the monolithic defense of Ann that your post implies. :o)

I see her as an entertainer not a conservative leader.

Her fans see her as a leader. I don’t follow anyone, seldom reading or listening to any of them. FR is my news source. And I value opinions of Freepers. They aren’t elitists.

LOLOL!
It's not a matter of OPINION -- whether Ann's fans here are divided on her speaking at this event.
Even a CURSORY review of the threads marked with the keyword "homocon" will reveal that.
But I **will** grant you that the FReepers who DO support her in this **have** been very vocal in bashing YOU. :o)
Unfortunately, that comes with the territory. ;)
SOMEONE needs to hold Ann accountable, and you're doing an admirable job "holding her feet to the fire" with this decision.
But Ann has been around this forum long enough that she gets a HUGE "benefit of the doubt" with MANY of us.

Rush has mentioned 0thugga’s eligibility issues more than a few times, and never calls people “birthers” or “cranks”, AFAIK.

Coulter merely sneers.

That is not an issue that I have addressed or even thought about.

Unfortunately, that comes with the territory. ;)

Doesn't it though. *shaking head*

Support her selling her soul for a few queer 3 dollar bills? Where are they?

The group may be “gay”, who knows if they’re Repubs or not, but they for sure are not conservative.

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.

GOProud is a militant homosexual front group.

Chairman of the Board, Christopher Barron: “We are a gay organization, we only work on gay issues, we have never claimed otherwise. My God people.”

And just for the record, here is GOProud’s Federal Legislative Agenda, copied from their website, my notes [NOTE] added.

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.

Are our fellow conservatives really THAT stupid and gullible? Freepers especially should know better.

I keep posting this list on every thread about Coulter speaking at the Homo-”con” GOProud shindig.

Most of the rah-rah Coulter supporters ignore it totally and refuse to answer me if I ask them what they think of that agenda.

It’s pretty interesting.

They just pretend it’s not there.

"I don’t always agree with her but I give her the respect she rightfully deserves and I know we’d be a bit worse off if she was no longer around."

Very well said.

(the following not directed at Brytani, but in response to some of the more hateful comments I see posted here)

Seems I was absent the day we Conservatives voted to hate all gays.

I have gays in my life I love dearly. I pray they will be forgiven and spend eternity with me. My life would be less full without these wonderful people. What was that old, outdated saying I was taught? Oh yeah, love the sinner, hate the sin. Does this make me less of a Conservative? I think not.

Do Not Want!

(I know enough already...)

But if anyone is still unsure about who and what the GOProud are, they should check it out!

What do you think of the GOProud’s legislative agenda posted right above - comment 72#?

I am wondering what you think of the agenda. You’re talking about “hating” individuals, and no one who objects to the GOProud’s agenda or Coulter’s engagement with them is saying they hate any homosexual individuals.

It’s the agenda. Please read it and let me know what you think of it.

I did check and it’s there. Apparently they only work on conservative issues from a homosexual standpoint. Social Security, include gays. Taxes, include gays. That’s it. No interest other than gays be included. The Tweets are there.
