World Net Daily Shows Intolerance, Boots Ann Coulter For Speaking At Conference for Gay Republicans
The Lid ^

Posted on 08/18/2010 12:15:24 PM PDT by Amerisrael

[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."

Good point. I have always admired how she has skewered the hypocrisy on the left, and perhaps that's why she will speak at places with whose ideology she is at odds. I don't know for sure. I do agree with your assessment of the situation if all she does is sell herself, but I don't know that she does.

Even though she is known as an ally to the right, she may not find the gay agenda offensive, at least to a certain degree. The fact that a GOP gay group even exists at all tells me that backing limited government, lower taxes, and our Constitution, is not solely the domain of the heterosexual.

I know some gays who think Ann is hilarious! Most of them wish they could slam a few narrow minded liberals and conservatives the way she does.

Some of them wish they looked like her too ;D!

You certainly attack those who post the truth about the homosexual agenda. I have no idea what you believe. I have only seen what you do. And that is attack. Rudely.

They are the old log cabins who ere busted for being Dem homosexuals and were trying to infiltrate and split conservatives.

Now since they got busted they have changed their name and now this with the same agenda.

again please tell me you were joking and that you do get it and that you are not that naive

PS. Need your friends to help you? How adult is that? You insulted a load of people on another thread. Make sure your “posse” sees that, won’t you.

“Joe Farah is a certified nut-job.”

Your personal opinion of Joe Farah is not the issue—are you really that dense? Speak to the issue and forget the lib/prog approach of attacking who delivers the message.

PLease! Read the GOProud’s legislative agenda I just posted above! THEY ARE NOT FREAKING CONSERVATIVE! They are leftist pukes who want to have guns and pay less taxes! (sort of) but they want US to pay taxes for “gay” rights this, that and everything else.

They want same sex marriage.

They want homosexuals in the military.

They support “hate crimes” legislation.

They want the whole “gay” rights shebang!

They are NOT NOT NOT NOT conservative!

Jeez, people - read their stated agenda!

this is just the “log” “cabin” republicans who renamed themselves after they were caught being a full on arm of the Democrat party.

There are some things not worth any price.

No problem. I just put it on a document on desktop so I’ll have it handy. I’ve posted it on many threads.

They’re just “gay” rights pushers with an agenda, to force the Republican party into their camp.

I see you have just joined, what name was you before?

You know damn well that this group is the old log cabins and who had to change their name once they were busted for being Dem voting homosexuals.

Their whole platform is for the homosexual agenda but I’;m sure you already know that as you know them or you’re in it.

Either way this group will get busted like they did before under the log cabin name.

Ann, Harvard ain’t out there trying to claim it’s conservative either.

All this proves is everyone can be wrong about something. Ann isn’t always right, this is certainly one of her major flaws.

> Let Joseph reprimand Rush for having Elton John at his wedding!

There’s a difference between hiring an entertainer and speaking at a political event where the politics are completely antithetical to what you (supposedly) believe in.

“Gay conservative” is an oxymoron. GOProud is pro-gay marriage and a host of other gay agenda items. It’s not a conservative group by the definition of conservative.

Why would you think that? I haven't posted anything to that effect. However, I will say that while marriage is indeed defined as one man and one woman, under the Constitution people may do as they please as long as they do not harm others. If gays want to start a "church" that will "marry" them, they have the right to do so. I don't have to agree with it, like it, or support it. But it is their right.

The only form of "marriage" the government recognizes is one of tax status.

> Ann is merely exercising her right to free speech.

And WND is exercising their right to hire or fire whoever they want to speak or not.

And I exercise MY right to boycott this woman, who is clearly does what she does for money and attention and could give a rat’s behind about actual conservative values. This is just the latest in a long pattern of her cavorting with liberals and saying/doing things for shock value. Yawn, Ann. Soooo old.
