It’s up to the organizations and event holders to turn them down.
Yep, the SRLC has a major opportunity this year for great exposure with Palin keynoting the event. The major TV networks have inquired about televising her speech. Ron Paul loons hijacking the event will not be helpful for the GOP.
Actually the SRLC people asked Dr. Paul to come speak at the event a month ago. Word just came down that he accepted the invitation just a couple days ago. Hence the C4L buying a big block of tickets afterwards in anticipation of lots of people wanting to come here him speak. Like it or not he is a big draw to such events. IIRC he’ll be speaking on the 10th.
So not only did they not “turn him down” but they asked him to come.
