CPAC Turns Away Pamela Geller
Big Government ^ | March 1, 2013 | Breitbart News

Posted on 03/02/2013 1:23:08 AM PST by Bratch

For the last four years, Pamela Geller of AtlasShrugs.com and the American Freedom Defense Initiative have held events at CPAC featuring guests she invites to discuss the influence of Islamism on America. But this year, the American Conservative Union (ACU) has no room for Geller or her message.

[...]

In years past, the events were standing room only thanks to their popularity, but that apparently was not enough to counter pressure brought to bear from somewhere to exclude Geller’s message.

Thank you.

Pam has a bounty on her head.

Muslims hate and fear anyone who criticizes Islam, but especially a strong woman who doesn’t hesitate to expose the vicious and inhumane manner in which Islam treats its own women and children, as well as other folks. The fact she is also a Jewess makes her doubly a target.

It wouldn’t surprise me if there are stealth Muslims operating in the U.S. with the intent of hunting down and eliminating critics of Islam.

CPAC trolling for the muslim terrorist vote?
Trying to woo the anti-Semites again?

Pamela is more of a conservative than 95% of the scheduled speakers.

The republican old guard is still trying to morph itself into democrat-lite.
They don’t care about ideology or core values - they just want to get their hands on the kesy to the treasury again.

WAS IT ROVE’S INCOMPETENCE ...OR IS HE A JUDAS GOAT ?

To borrow from Rush Limbaugh for those living Riolinda a Judas goat is used to lead US sheeples to the slaughter pen . The Republicans were given a chance to use a wedge issue to split up the democratic party and blew it.

Besides being unable to equate Obama’s socialist schemes particularly his energy policy running up the costs on everything and still is thus forcing those with limited incomes to go on the dole. BTW the angle here is to blame the system not the folks using it. BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO. Failing to do so would set up “heartless Republicans” counter charge. But it’s a signature of Rove’s past performances when with Bush, as well as Romney’s campaign staff .They didn’t and “Heartless Republicans” became the accepted LIV image .

Explaining Obama’s regime policies in terms those proverbial LIV’s could understand wasn’t even considered. Refusing to attack Obama was based on MSM polling showing his popularity suggesting an intellectual inability by Rove and the GOPES to rejoin any racial charge.

....Does anybody remember what the Democrats did at their 2012 convention ??? First they eliminated any mention of the word GOD...and when they thought twice about doing that they reintroduced the resolution what happened ? They booed God..thrice..That resolution was rammed through just like the Affordable Health Care Act ...That’s a wedge issue within the democrat party.which was not exploited by Roves RINOS and GOPES and the Republicans generally to this day. To properly describe that episode .Its the marriage of the radical and democrat into the hyphenated Demo-Com union.

Was that fact used in any of the material Rove’s RINOS spewed forth during the 2012 Romney or US senate races his group of GOPES (Government Ofthe People Elite Snobs) used on their hit list ? I like using that acronym because it rhymes with dopes.

Noooo ! They could have used that episode to point out how far to the left the democrat party has hyphenated into; Demo-Coms ...Instead well we don’t like Aikin ...He said what ? OMG OMG he’s unqualified ...If there was a chance he would have been burned at the stake by Rove’s RINOS and the so called “conservative “ talkies spouting Rove’s tripe.

The Aikin or O’Donnells response to a set up phoney issue had nothing to do with any thing that would ever occur in any legislation that would pass their respective desks had they been elected.

THE RESPONSE YOU DIDN’T HEAR WAS THIS “”While at their convention the Democrats were busy denying God . Aikin believes in something like the ten commandments. Including Thou shalt not steal and doesn’t believe that getting elected to office gives you a license to do steal ... Which his opponent seems to have done rather well since being in office. The same thing with Mourdock,O’Donnnell, etc,etc, etc.

That presentation could have been expanded to Reid, Pelosi, and the slew of Demo-Com pigs at the trough. Expanding their personal wealth at the expense of the US taxpayers.

Now this bunch seems to be saying if you hold a religious view don’t run for office... We’re gonna save the Republican party ....to be finished off by Obama and the hypenated democrats..
Roves RINOS wrong for America and GOPES are wrong for winning elections ...

This CPAC convention is a shut sham shame

I wouldn’t associate with an organization that turns away Geller. In fact, I’d turn them away.

Jeb Bush, Newt Gingrich, Mitt Romney, Eric Cantor, Mitch McConnell ...

The fact that those people are invited speakers tells you that the ACU’s goal has little to do with conservatism.

This gentleman, recieved his first doctorate from Al-Azhar University, Cairo,Egypt. He taught there, the most prestigious Islamic University in our world

Yep, and Obozo says he is a Christian. But his actions reveal much more than what he says. “Taqiyah”

I'm not. If this were the lineup at the 2012 Republican National Convention would you then say that the RNC is now conservative? Sure, there is plenty of red meat in the line up but the inclusion of so many establishment politicians who are in no way conservative must beg the question as to whether CPAC is really for conservatism or just a "fire up the base" RNC rally.
