Free Speech Panel at CPAC Canceled by Pamela Geller After Gateway Pundit Jim Hoft Banned
Breitbart ^ | 2/21/18 | JOEL B. POLLAK

Posted on 02/22/2018 4:36:52 AM PST by Raymann

Conservative commentator Pam Geller revealed on Breitbart News Daily on Wednesday morning that her panel on free speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) had been canceled because she refused to remove Jim Hoft of Gateway Pundit as a participant. “Late last night, I received a call … demanding that I remove one of the speakers from the panel. I would not do this. I told them it was unconscionable that a panel on free speech — I mean, it’s, I don’t know if anybody sees the irony, and this just happened — and I’m sorry, I’m breaking it on the show, actually,” Geller told Marlow.

CPAC [ = Obama/Clinton/Romney Republicans] supported
attacks on Gov. Palin, the Islamic invasion,
CAIR, and ...Willard “Mitt” Romney’s socialized medicine.

Yesterday Glenn Beck was saying if these people are conservatives, I don’t want to be a conservative anymore.

Glenn Beck hasn’t been conservative for quite some time.

When people nowadays say “we need to have a conversation”, what they mean is “shut up”.

Glenn was objecting to Marion Marechal LePen being allowed to speak at CPAC.

Is this CPAC’s way of trying to answer the critics like Beck?

CPAC sounds just like CNN.

Conservatives need a new venue. Maybe call it RealCPAC, hosting the real conservatives disinvited to CPAC along with other patriots and straight thinkers, guys like Mike Rowe.

CPAC is led by profiteering Unipartyists, obviously. Real conservatives are a direct threat to their rackets, and they are working hard to shut us down. I expect them, if allowed, to become as merciless as was the Gestapo.

I didn’t want the entire conversation to be about Jim Hoft. And guess what? Now it is,” he said, faulting Geller for making the disagreement public

They much rather their censorship of a censorship panel go unnoticed. Thank you Pam for shining a light on their hypocrisy.

I think the folks at another website not approved of here, VDARE, call it “Conservatism Incorporated”. The gangsters in the ‘good ole days’ were called “Murder Incorporated”.

A dumb comment that shows that you haven’t been paying attention.

He said he thinks they’re in thrall to Bannon.

I am suspicious of the LePen family too.

Conservatism is a broad coalition. Why not have Beck, Bannon, Alan Keyes, Lawernce Jones, Allie Stuckey, Tomi Lahren, Rich Lowry, and a wide range of conservative voices?

That’s why President Trump and Vice President Pence are both speaking for teh second year in a row, right?
