Conservatives, off their leash, are a frightening bunch (The Economist's view of CPAC)

One activist stopped selling his “No Muslims = No terrorism” stickers when the vice-president's office complained. But there was no shortage of anti-Islamic ware: T-shirts mocking the idea that Islam is a religion of peace, mugs hinting that Islam is a new form of Nazism.

I am that "frightening activist" and the name of my website is 0cents.com

These leftist media people never, never publish the URL of my web site!

I gave an interview at CPAC to the Salon.com reporterette. I insisted that she put www.0cents.com in her story. I told her that we are both internet based companies and that she should print my URL - she didn't!

I've been hounded for three days now by the political reporter for the Palm Beach Post. In fact, I just spoke to him. I told him no interview without a guarantee of my web site's URL in his article.

He hemmed & hawed.

I reminded him of the multiple times that the Palm Beach Compost has prominently - front page - above the fold - repeatedly mentioned Moveon.org

He's checking with his editor - I am not holding my breath.

The Economist has drifted so far to the left over the last 10 years, it's getting irksome.

What's irksome is how polarized and intolerant you must be to consider The Economist as a leftist newspaper. To start with, they have consistently made the case for war in Iraq and supported Bush's view on international politics against european views. They are as agressive as ever in their defense of free market and free trade and in their criticisms of continental politics. They have even sided with Bjorn Lomborg on environment.

You know, you remind me of west european communists in the 50s and 60s. They were so brainwashed and closed-minded that anyone among the left who dared being critical of a single bit of the ideological iconography was immediately considered as a traitor. And, just like you, they were absolutely convinced that the media were systematically extremists from the other side.

Oh so the Economist lifted this from Salon? Well then that makes a lot more sense.

Good seeing you there at CPAC, mud.

>>>Delegates crammed into a huge hall to hear Dick Cheney, Katherine Harris and other conservative heroes speak from a stage draped in red, white and blue and backed by 18 American flags.

Sounds like everyone had a great time.

Hoo-yah!

CPAC makes them quake! lol

The Washington Post also wrote something. The article's author probably combined several sources. Maybe she was there at CPAC.

I chatted with several Conservatives from the UK, West Indies, Netherlands, Spain.

CPAC always has a smattering of like minded folks from around the world.

I'm glad some British representation was there. If you had some fire breathing Thatcherites, so much the better. ;)

Howdy!!

"my Clinton's Legacy sweatshirt"

Also, if you could post the stamp showing the WTC being attacked, with the tagline below reading, "Clinton's Legacy"?! That is getting soooo much feedback from the locals...reckon I might even stir up a fistfight or two if I try hard enuff...LOL!!

That doesn't sound like the CPAC conference I attended.

I'm not big on hating Democrats -- they are our recruiting base -- they just have to mature and learn about the world.

I was there two days for a lot of time and I just didn't see this anti-Muslim and hate-filled stuff they talk about. Of course, I did see a "Fry Mumia" t-shirt, um, I think I was wearing it, but leave it to the Economist not to see the playful aspect (a play on words on the "Free Mumia" mantra of the left).

Mumia __ HIS NAME IS WESLEY COOK __ has already avoided the death penalty, so everyone knows in fact he's not going to "fry" for killing DANIEL FAULKNER.

But, does the Economist know that the guy's name is "Wesley Cook." Do they know the name of the victim? Did they miss taxman's playful floating American airship and FRN's display about the American flag balloon and the DC Chapter's display of humorous and peaceful Freeps?

I mean, were they REALLY at the same conference I was at?

I'm not into hate. Seems like the Economist writer has a hate problem.

"If you had some fire breathing Thatcherites, so much the better. ;)"

Wouldn't that be something if M. Thatcher and her boss spoke at CPAC '04?!! It'd really kick off "The Conservative ROUT of November 2004" Season with a BANG!!
