Challenge Accepted: Conservative gay organization head agrees to debate WorldNetDaily editor
The Daily Caller ^ | September 4, 2010 Updated September 5, 2010 | Chris Moody

Posted on 09/05/2010 10:56:10 AM PDT by Kaslin

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.

Perhaps you might consider reading my posts. I said “pro-homosexual agenda”. Not “pro-homosexual marriage”. Put on those reading glasses, granny.

How do you know if they were molested? What a ridiculous assertion to make.

I didn't MAKE an assertion. Perhaps you don't actually know what an assertion is. This is what I said:

Now you may say "oh, they were molested as kids, that's why." But a) what if they weren't

See? There's no assertion there.

Go back to the DUmp, scumbag (no offense to scum.) You’ve just been reported for your blatant Christophobia. Not allowed here. Go play in the sewer instead.

The implication was strong. For the record, imho, you are a troll.

There are no lies in what I said. There ARE liberal Christian churches. Most of the African-American churches campaigned for Obama. The Catholic church in Rome hardly considers America its top priority. Can you deny this?

And how am I lying when I say that to a Christian, their faith is the most important thing. Are you saying it's not? Are you saying that God matters less to you than America? Lowering taxes means more to you than what Jesus dying for your sins?

Okay, find something I said that is pro-homosexual agenda. Was it this part?

I don't want gay marriage at all. I just want to include gays in conservatism. I want their votes for drilling ANWR, stopping illegal immigration, cutting government spending, and lowering taxes. And I want to do that without giving them a damn thing in return except what we all get: a stronger, safer country. Some of them can be reasoned with.

You lie and backtrack constantly. First you attack “ uber-religious types” (post 58) then you claim to have been talking about liberal Christianity. You just can’t figure out who you hate more today. You even claimed this was a Coulter thread when it is not the subject of the article posted. You’re a troll.

She's not the main subject of the article. The debate between Farah and Barron is. And you claim to be a teacher?! Good gravy!

See? You can’t refute anything I said. Why don’t you go ahead and make one more snotty remark, and unless you can actually address anything I’ve said, I’ll let you have the last word.

I’ve always figured the more gay men, the more potential women for me. But somehow it’s still just as hard to get chicks.

But you'd be wrong. The chicks turn "gay" too. But, oh well, have at it:

Nonsense, that's not at all what I said. I said that Christianity does not equal conservatism. Both uber-religious types AND liberal Christians both prove my point. Ubers because they think fighting homosexuality and abortion is the most important element of American conservatism, and will do so even to the detriment of other, more urgent issues, and liberals because they prioritize charity and pacifism above American security and individual freedom. You cannot prove me wrong.

You even claimed this was a Coulter thread when it is not the subject of the article posted. You’re a troll.

Excuse me, you're kidding, right?

It's easy to refute you. You made a statement.

Post 269

Now you may say "oh, they were molested as kids, that's why." But a) what if they weren't, and b) how does being molested make you want to bake cakes and throw parties??

You have no way of knowing if they were molested. None. Your statement is meant to foster the "born gay" theory which has no basis in science. You have no knowledge of anything that has been done to these children you are talking about. And I find it reprehensible that a supposed TEACHER would be saying these things on a public forum about their students.

I quoted your posts to you. You hate Christians. That's your only point.

Ubers because they think fighting homosexuality and abortion is the most important element of American conservatism,

Social and fiscal conservatism is of the same cloth. Go ahead and tell this guy otherwise.

If you’re not fiscally AND socially conservative, you’re not conservative!

I’m a bit leery of people who trash Farah and WND. When pressed for a reason, they usually mention the wacky ads - that’s about all I can get out of them. Nothing of substance about the content of the pieces posted.
