Enter Ann Coulter.
Her "faggot" joke was not just a distraction from all the good that was highlighted and represented at the conference. It was the equivalent of a rhetorical fragging--an intentionally-tossed verbal grenade that exploded in her own fellow ideological soldiers' tent.
There are countless conservatives who bring their children to CPAC. It's a family-friendly event. I brought mine last year and the year before. I met several parents with their kids there this year. We expect CPAC to be a place where conservative role models speak with clarity, passion, and integrity. There are enough spewers of mindless filth, vulgarity, and hatred on TV, at the movies, and in the public schools. We don't expect our children to be exposed to that garbage at the nation's preeminent conservative gathering.
I was in the back of the ballroom and did not see any children in the audience during Coulter's speech. But what if there had been?
Would you want your children hearing the word "faggot" spoken in such a casual and senseless manner? Would you like your first-grader or three-year-old running around the halls of CPAC singing "faggot, faggot, faggot?" Not me. Not anymore than I'd like my toddler singing "gook, gook, gook" or "sambo, sambo, sambo"--favored epithets hurled at conservative minorities by leftist haters groping around in their empty intellectual quivers. There were hundreds of young conservative college students in the ballroom. Would you be proud of your college-age daughter spewing such epithets in her campus debates with leftists?
With a single word, Coulter sullied the hard work of hundreds of CPAC participants and exhibitors and tarred the collective reputation of thousands of CPAC attendees. At a reception for college students held by the Young America's Foundation, I lambasted the substitution of stupid slurs for persuasion-- be it "faggot" from a conservative or "gook" from a liberal--and urged the young people there to conduct themselves at all times with dignity in their ideological battles on and off campus.
I made something else explicitly clear: Not all of us treat the communication of conservative ideals and ideas as 24/7 performance art. You can and should use humor to convey your message. You can enlighten and entertain--without becoming a tired old schtick. You can joke without becoming the joke.

Those of us who have been in the self-promotion business ;-) know that one takes every opportunity one can to self-promote. :)
Coulter is our Jimmy Carter ... she keeps on giving stuff to the other side.
Let the record show that you will not answer what your relationship with Michele Malkin is.
Anyone can look at your posting history and see that you post mostly material from Michele Malkin's site.
You post a lot of things, such as the notification of her book release, that might not be known to the general public.
You seem to be her sock puppet at best.
Is she telling you to post all of these threads attacking Coulter?
If so, why?
By the way, whatever happened to that source for the Associated Press that Malkin said didn't exist?
Didn't Malkin go to Iraq to find him? Funny, I don't recall hear much more about that.
Since you are an insider, perhaps you can tell us?
Thank goodness kids don't go on the Internet, visit her site or know how to read.
And you're outraged by the word "faggot"?
Morons.
your post says much more about you than it does about me.
I have said nothing vile or nasty...and certainly nothing that remotely approaches the nastiness of Coulter.
I want to like Ann but she makes it so difficult.
You apparantly don't mind rude and crude.
Bully for you.
Let us sitpulate now that anyone posting in favor of Coulter will be deemed a Coulter operative -- likewise for Malkin.
With that out of the way, the thread can continue. ;-)
I gather you are not to fond of Asian people, words like that hurt, plain and simple. I have been the target of those very hurtful words, by White people and I did not call them in return: hateful whitey or hillybilly cracker, because My Father - an Army Veteran, may he rest in peace, was White!!!!!!!! and My Mother was Japanese - I have the best of both worlds!!!!!!!/seoul62........
Exactly.
Think Edward's former bloggers qualify?
Jimmah has never said one memorable thing in his life. Well, maybe "nuclear".
Pul-leeze. I was there. Everyone was so offended that they stood on their feet when Ann was done and gave her a standing ovation for her performance art. Yes, that's what it is.
Boys and girls, this ain't beanbag. It ain't even politics. We're at war with traitors, and Edwards is in fact a dangerous man. She just got a nation thinking about what a wussified dork Edwards is. God bless her.
Freeper nazi.
Now I don't know if the word faggot is appropriate in describing Silky, but God knows I would not want this creep sideling up next to me at a urinal!!
No, of course not.
The CPAC I saw (Michelle Malkin shares her thoughts on Ann Coulter) ^

I've never met her in person nor have I ever had a personal phone conversation with her. From time to time I've received a thank you reply in email for a story idea or news tip. I did get to ask Michelle a question LIVE on the air when she was on the Mike Rosen show (850am KOA) promoting her book "Unhinged". I asked her about how the folks at Free Republic and her worked to get the story out about Ward Churchill's fake art.
Michelle, do you have "bubble children"? I distinctly remember hearing the likes of this word when I was in grade school.
I doubt if much has changed (other than the precipitous decline in literacy) in the schools since I was in them.
Of course.
Is that the only way one may experience love? What a nasty comment.
