Snip...I believe you keep your philosophical objectives in mind, and then you work with whomever you need to work with to achieve them, Keene tells me over lunch at the Palm. Thats how I build coalitions, and thats how I built campaigns.
And now you know why gays were at CPAC and why he left, or was asked to leave, the ACU.
ACU chairman David Keene to quit in February
Keene is leaving ACU in a state of turmoil. The organization alienated social conservatives by permitting a homosexual activist organization, GOProud, to participate in its signature project, the annual CPAC convention. As a result, some of the best-known conservative organizations, including the Heritage Foundation, Family Research Council, American Family Association, Concerned Women for America, Media Research Center and the National Organization for Marriage are not participating in the conference this year.
At the same time ACU has been rocked by a financial scandal in which hundreds of thousands of dollars was reported to the Internal Revenue Service as misappropriated and the group is coming under fire from national security conservatives for allowing Suhail Khan, an alleged associate of radical Muslim activists, to serve on the board.
I don't see how he was even elected to his position.
Infiltration indeed! Sounds like he accomplished that long ago.
