The Grover's Choice Award: Jihad Watch wins CPAC award, barred from receiving it
Jihad Watch ^ | 3/6/13 | Robert

Posted on 03/06/2013 8:49:01 AM PST by Nachum

I was surprised and honored that Jihad Watch was among the nominees for the People's Choice Blog Award, sponsored by Right Wing News and TheTeaParty.net, to be awarded at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) 2013.

As you can see from the vote above, Jihad Watch won decisively, getting over 50% of the vote in a field of fifteen. And I received confirmation of the victory from one of the organizers of the CPAC blog awards when I asked him when voting officially ended:

From: XXXXXXXXX Subject: Re: You've Been Nominated For A People's Choice Award At the CPAC Blogger Awards Date: March 2, 2013 2:58:26 AM EST To: Robert Spencer

Robert

It officially ended at midnight. You won!

But as time went by and no announcement was made of this victory, and the voting continued despite my having been told that it officially ended last Friday night and that I had won, and the promised links and other placement promised to the winning blog didn't materialize, I started to wonder. So I contacted the organizer who had written me telling me I won and asked him what was going on.

He told me that there was a slight problem: the Tea Party group, which co-sponsored this People's Choice Blog Award, didn't want to allow me to receive it at CPAC next week unless I promised not to criticize Grover Norquist and Suhail Khan as I accepted the award.

Frank Gaffney was warning about islamists infecting the white house for the last 20 years through both democrat AND republican administrations.

norquist should have been gone years ago. Everywhere he has interjected himself has seen the rise of islam. He has done this in states, and one of the latest to be revealed is Texas. He ingratiated himself to rick perry way back in 2004.

“norquist should have been gone years ago.”

Yes, you’re right about that! Our problem is getting Hannity, Limbaugh, Levin to even talk about this miscreant! I’ve tried, they just ignore the muslim loving elephant in the room! WHY????

Because as bad as he is, he has friends in high, high places and he will not hesitate to hurt you any way he can. He can and he will. This is an evil man with a BIG agenda.

Yes, you’re right, but some of our talking heads better develop some nerve! The same can be said of Obama, et al. That sure hasn’t stopped them from outting him, has it?

Here’s a recent connection to Rove....let’s not forget that!

“And he’s [Norquist] personally doing fine: Lee Fang at the Nation revealed this week that he gets two-thirds of his funding from two big corporate billionaire-backed nonprofits: the Center to Protect Patients Rights, which donated $4,189,000 to Americans for Tax Reform in 2010, and Karl Rove’s Crossroads GPS, which gave him $4 million.”

Keep in mind Pamela Gellar has been informed that she is not welcome at CPAC this year, either...REAL conservatives should steer clear of this event. I’d like to see Sarah cancel in light of this revelation.

> So what “Tea party” group is it that wants us to bow to islam?
TheTeaParty.net, which has been a fundraising scam from day one. I think they also run "TeaPartyCommunity.com".

Thanks!

There is no real opposition to the mozzie/commie/faggot coup in the US.

IMHO the only hope is those who took oaths, doing their duty, backed up by a bazillion Americans.

Ok. I’ve found out what ‘tea party’ group refused to give this award and covered for Norquist, et al.

It is teaparty.net....looks like all they do is fund raise...in other words line their pockets while hijacking the tea party name!~
