[Article] Maybe the near third of young Republicans who support gay marriage are wrong, but CPAC won't convince them -- never mind other young voters -- of that by fueling the storyline that conservatives are scared of gays.

Jonah Goldberg has had an annoying habit of piking conservatives in the back over the Sodomy and Pederasty Agenda -- and his word choice in the above quote shows him doing it again: "scared of gays"? Notice the bandwagon appeal: "near third of young Republicans". (Notice he didn't say "young 'conservatives'" because nobody can be pro-gay and conservative at the same time.)

And notice that neither is a proper argument: ad hominem and ad populum appeals to motive in lieu of support in the same sentence. That's demagoguing the issue, all right.

Knock it off, Goldberg. Go have a watercress sandwich with your pal Grover Norquist or something.

Reading this guy is becoming a little more tedious, because less authoritative, than reading Karl Rove, his boss.

Its a conservative thing right?

Why should they pander to non-conservative fringes?

Good points, Mr. Gracchus.

Jonah Goldberg is agnostic, pro-abort, pro-homosexual marriage and generally condescending toward social conservatives. Just like Charles Krauthammer. Many conservatives never notice that.
