[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."

Why doesn't that surprise me? And that you have them memorized?
Have a nice evening.
Good night, my FRiend. :o)
Moral blinders are the worst kind. Worse than being physically blind.
Who owns this blog? Using buzzwords like hater and intolerance sound awfully gay to me, so is this a homo blog posting this anti-Farah, pro-homo nonsense?
Rick Moran is a PHONY conservative free lance writer living in the great Ex-Urbs of Chicago, IL.
“Jesus went among the sinners”
You mean if Jesus went to speak to a NAMBLA conference, he wouldn’t mention their perversity and instead just ignore the elephant in the room? That doesn’t sound like the Jesus I know.
Not yet! I alerted you guys because I needed witnesses to what was going on.
If I continue to have problems with this person and his (or her) friends, I'll let you know.
Thanks, Gonzo!
Name calling right off the bat in post #1?! Ha! Totally invalidates your post and any later arguments.
FReepers are beginning to worry me more and more...
Ann is the hypocrite here - the worst is that she calls herself a christian.
I personally feel she jumped the shark over the birther movement - same with so many conservative voices.
At least Joseph Farah has always been consistent w/ his message and purpose for WND.COM.
you are only correct if the goal is to make as much filthy lucre as possible.
Do you recall the phrase - Love of money is the root of all evil?!?!
WND shoots themselves in the foot.
I once debate the head hancho of the Minnesota Log Cabin Republicans. She always told me as a social conservative not to put all my eggs in one basket and support my causes within both parties.
It's been the goal of homosexual activists to infilitrate the GOP and conservative movement for some time. Coulter is aiding that cause in the name of $$$$$.
She's sold out, just as she did when she support Willard Romney in 2008.
No, Farah is right and smarter than you are.
If she as asked to speak before the Ku Klux Klan, bringing Jimmy Walker as her date, about illegal immigration, would you being making the same point? No, you wouldn't.
Speaking before this faux conservative group and giving it legitimacy is no different than giving the KKK legitimacy. And, that is what the issue is, giving a faux conservative group legitimacy within the conservative movement, not speaking before a group one disagrees with to change their minds and hearts.
It did go after Limbaugh for his support of civil unions and his alleged belief homosexuals were born the way they are, rightfully so.
When did Reagan speak before a homosexual group, giving it legitimacy? He didn't.
And, if members of GOProud were really conservatives first, they wouldn't have to make an issue of their homosexuality.
And smarter than you are.
Speaking to a "faux conservative group" does not "give it legitimacy". She's not joining them, she's speaking conservative truths to them. Ann is a true conservative, or did you miss that part?
She'd going to tell them they are wrong about gay marriage and DADT?
Then we can both know what she 'dadn't' say!
