You MUST be a liberal (and/or a homosexual supporter) with your comment.

Shirley, you have been around here long enough to know that personal ad hominem attacks are proof positive that the flame thrower is a maroon.

[icwhatudo]

I have never attended a CPAC convention, but I also have never attended a Republican National Convention. I have commented, and will continue to comment on, bad decisions I feel each group makes. Allowing a homosexual activist group to be a sponsor of CPAC is IMHO a bad decision.

Does it mean I think everyone involved in CPAC is a somehow a rino? Thats one heck of a strawman. Its obvious that CPAC has many solid conservatives which makes this decision even worse. It also makes the continual mention of the conservatives-like Rush-involved with CPAC as being some sort of "gotcha" moment silly.

However FR did have a booth in 2003, 2004 and 2005.

Going to CPAC 2005? Stop by the D.C. Chapter booth.

[icwhatudo]

This thread reminds me of John Kerry mentioning he was in Vietnam.

[bootless]

Awesome! I can’t wait.

Sarah declined the invition without naming specific organizations but I think she was entirely put off by the co-sponsorship of the John Birch Society which started this year.

A good case can also be made that she declined their invitation last year because she finds Keene repugnant too.

[newfreep]

Shirley, no attack - just stating a fact.

When "nutmeg" has no problem defending Keene - a longtime RINO supporter who is now soliciting homosexual perverts for CPAC - that is NOT a conservative combination.

Clearly, it speaks volumes if someone is supporting RINOs and homos as "nutmeg" is doing on this thread.

[wheninthecourse]

I was surprised to NOT see any comments about how CPAC will be impacted by the outcome of the GOP Conference and Obamas historical meeting on January 28-30. Should make for a VERY interesting convention, ya think?

[LS]

Yeah, darn RINOs are taking over C-PAC. (Dripping sarcasm ends).

[LS]

Yeah, darn RINOs are taking over C-PAC. (Dripping sarcasm ends).

[Ransomed]

It might be the funniest thing ever if he came out and did his speech as “Flap Jackson in the Morning this Morning”.

[9YearLurker]

Yep, however many good conservatives may still attend, the executive director seems thoroughly sold out to Mitt, $$$, and who knows what else—and he trashed Palin as well.

FR is right to sound the alarm on this group.

[stockpirate]

I haven’t heard RUsh say that, but I will take your word. Glenn says birthers are nuts.

[pissant]

Glenn has a tendency to not think things through

[EveningStar]

As far back as I can remember the Log Cabin repubs have had a presence at CPAC.

C'mon Bob. Don't be a spoilsport. Join the party. All true conservatives hate homos. /sarc

[Indy Pendance]

Last year's CPAC, Newt is what really turned me off. Especially coming off his 'couch' interview with Nazi P on globull warming. I guess Newt is bi. He wants it both ways.

See or read it here.

[Constitution Day]

Is that correct? Was FR a sponsor or exhibitor in 2009? 2008? 2007? When was the last time FR had a presence at CPAC? Doesn't there need to be evidence of previous support in order to initiate a boycott?

Thank you. I said basically said the same thing when this whole faux-boycott started on FR.

"Facts" still and always will matter.

[Indy Pendance]

I knew there were sponsored events. Thanks for finding those links.

[Indy Pendance]

No way!

[Indy Pendance]

You’ve really hit on a point I could not put my finger on. Something is troubling about Beck. I think you hit on it.
