In the wake of a dispute between WorldNetDaily editor Joseph Farah and conservative author Ann Coulter over her decision to headline an event sponsored by GOProud, a gay conservative organization, Farah and GOProud Chairman Christopher Barron will square off in a debate later this month at WND’s convention.
Barron told The Daily Caller that Farah challenged him to debate over whether GOProud can be considered “conservative” after Farah argued on his site that there is no place within conservatism for an organization like GOProud, a group that promotes itself as “the only national organization representing gay conservatives and their allies.” TheDC is waiting for confirmation from WND about the debate’s details.
Farah dropped Coulter from a speaking engagement at WND’s annual “Taking America Back” convention in Miami for agreeing to speak at GOProud’s “Homocon” party in New York. (Coulter later said that Farah had never actually booked her for a speech, calling him a “swine” and a “publicity whore.”)
Farah contends that groups like GOProud are trying to commit a “coup” to unroot the conservative movement with an “agenda…to take the homosexual agenda inside the conservative tent.”
Barron insists that his group is genuinely conservative and said he looks forward taking on Farah in front of a WND crowd.
“Since we announced that conservative author and columnist Ann Coulter would be headlining our Homocon 2010 in New York City, Farah has attacked GOProud, attacked Ann, and challenged our work almost every single day,” Barron said in a statement to The Daily Caller. “I look forward to standing on the stage with Mr. Farah to defend GOProud, to debunk the misinformation he has spread, and to make the case for GOProud’s conservative mission.”
Barron added that conservatism stands at a major crossroads in its acceptance of gays into the movement. A number of high profile conservatives, including Lisa De Pasquale of the Conservative Political Action Conference, Grover Norquist of Americans for Tax Reform and former General Counsel to the National Republican Senatorial Committee Craig Engle, have signed on as official sponsors of GOProud’s event.
The debate will be held on September 17 at 7:30 PM at the Doral Golf and Spa Resort in Miami, Florida.

This post is shocking.
The fact remains that for them, their Christianity comes before the Constitution.
The Founders were Christians. There are Christian scenes all over Congress and the Supreme Court buildings in DC. Our freedom COMES from God. I believe there's a document that states that. Some kind of declaration, wasn't it?
And then we get statements like this that defame Conservatives and FR: I guess I differ with most FReepers here. They seem to want only straight white Christians.. I find that a grievous insult to FR's diversity.
The question of homosexual rights based on behavior is a divisive one. And it looks like some have swallowed the lefty mantra.
I’ve read you stating exactly that on one or more of the threads I’ve pinged out. You can’t expect me to remember which one as I’ve pinged out hundreds of threads just in the last few months.
Because your religion is affecting your judgment and your priorities.
So only atheists and shallow insincere believers can have good judgement and priorities. !!!!!
Why would any "real" Conservative know what two consenting adults do in their own bedroom?
OPEN YOUR EYES MAN!!!!!
I guess that means the Founding Fathers were lost cretins.
Blah, blah, blah...
Yeah, I didn't think so.
You’re lying. On FR you have supported homosexuals in the military.
It’s your word against mine until I have the time needed to search through your comments.
You specifically said it would not impair morale and it was fine with you.
Good for Farah...I hope he brings up and understands that all of these gays are conditioned to be that way through a trauma of being too close to their moms. Hence they have a mother spirit in their without the manly spirit having a chance to flower...thus the attraction to men. It is really like a woman’s attraction to a man. Sometimes also it is a man looking for that fatherly love that he never got from his dad. Too bad it will not come through having sex with a man! He will just get inhabited by some dark demons through that act.
Real conservatives protect them both, and the economy, and due process, and everything else.
You reasoning misses one obvious fact. Religion (bible thumping as you term it) is protected under the Constitution which is primarily premised upon the right of the people to govern themselves as they possess unalienable rights endowed by the Creator. Homosexual sex premised rights, on the other hand, is but a recent absurd leftist novelty that derives its authority from imposition upon the people and is not nor ever has been a Constitutionally guaranteed practice...
Real "conservatives" have a clue -they understand the difference, they oppose government imposed homosexualism and embrace the Constitution -they do NOT embrace homosexually absurd leftist notions of rights premised upon orifice diversity!
But your personal in your face bigotry, with a twist of passive agressivism to pretend that it was unintentional, is not.
You should've taken care of that before you posted such an accusation against me.
Which was true on most of the men who penned the constitution.
I read it, I remember it, and maybe tonight I’ll have time to find it.
Not only that, but every time she opens her mouth she tends to hurt our side and give the RATs ammo.
She's a fictional caricature of "bigoted right-wing haters."
She supported Mitt Romney for President and didn't have the spine to campaign for the RATs when McCain was the nominee.
Ann Coulter is NOT about helping conservatism. She hurts the conservative cause
Oh, excuse me those are ALL your words.
You're fear and hatred of Coulter is duly noted, as well as your advanced stage of CES Billy BOY.
I notice that it’s usually the women who tend to be appeasers to the male butt banditry agenda.
Why the insults? Because you don't agree? Everybody has an opinion. Not everyone is a fan.
I was a fan of Ann Coulter but now she smells like your typical fag hag.
I don’t follow any pundits. They get paid to be conservative. I am a conservative because I think it’s right.
There, fixed it.
So you’re saying Ann is now getting paid to be a fag hag? Oh my!
