A true conservative would never attempt to censor a speech. It is quite obvious that Coulter was not going to embrace the views of her audience and she might have made some policy points with this group that could help them shift direction in some areas. I have always found WND to be a rewrite of other sites, a slimy vehicle for magnification of Farah's ego and the advertising of snake oil, bumper stickers, trusses, and whatever will put money in Farah's pocket. This birth thing is going nowhere and is simply a diversion from the most important goal, removing Obama from office. I know that most Freepers are utilizing their energy to bring important issues before the swing voters. I welcome anyone, gay or straight, who will add their vote to mine to defeat socialism. We can't afford to pick and choose who is going to vote with us.

The current option of alienating them and driving votes away hasn’t worked so well.

So Farah shouldn’t be in control of his own private political messaging? Did you know that in constitutional law forcing someone to “say” something they don’t want to say is as much an offence as “censorship?” But even more importantly, the First Amendment is not a limitation on private associations, but on the government. In fact, freedom of association is as important to constitutional liberty as freedom of speech. Would you force the Boy Scouts to accept gay speakers they didn’t want to host? Or would you force a church to accept an Imam teaching sharia law against the church’s desire, out of a fear of “censorship?” How is this picture you’re painting of forcing unwanted associations on Farah anything remotely like conservatism?

There is a HUGE difference between voting and lobbying! Of course people can vote any way they wish. This is a lobbying group with an expressed agenda, that is well spelled out on their website. No organization holding a convention named “HomoCon” is there to be talked to about the error of their ways. The group exists solely to push gay special rights. THAT is a problem.

True conservatives don't give credibility to faux conservative groups trying to make an issue of their sexuality nor do they support lying frauds like Mitt Romney. Coulter has done both.

If she was speaking before a gathering for the Ku Klux Klan on illegal immigration and affirmative action, would be supporting her? Or would oppose her because she was giving legitimacy to them?
