ATLANTA — Michael Pemberton, a 65-year-old conservative from Kentucky, started the day in a good mood. He was attending his second RedState Gathering, and ready to hear from 10 of the Republican Party's presidential candidates. He dug into breakfast — coffee and fruit — and sat down with another conference-goer.
"One of the chaps across me asked, 'Did you hear the news?'" recalled Pemberton. "I thought he was going to tell me that a sinkhole opened up in Kentucky and I couldn't go again. But no: He said, they disinvited Donald Trump. I lost my appetite."
The TV news confirmed it. RedState's outgoing editor-in-chief, Erick Erickson, made an 11th hour call to disinvite Trump after the GOP presidential front-runner told CNN that Fox News's Megyn Kelly had "blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever" when she grilled him during Thursday's presidential debate.
Pemberton grabbed a sharpie and a note card and scrawled out "I AM DONALD TRUMP." He affixed it to his jacket with an American flag pin and grudgingly walked into the conference, determined never to come again....

Well she is a selective feminist. To get popular she flashed her tits and ass in racy photos and went on Howard Stern to talk breast and penis size.
Do you know what these poor folks were paying??? This Eric guy is an idiot! (I knew that from listening to him on Rush.)
especially by a shock pundit like Erick Erickson whose claims of indignity about the tone of Trump’s political discourse ring about as true as Planned Parenthood championing the respectful disposal of human remains
What these clueless ones do not understand is that they are not only disinviting Trump—they are disinviting and insulting US! Millions of people share Trumps concerns for the nation.

Well actually, I put an ice cube in for 15 seconds, then pull it out.
Howard Stern—now there’s class.
Which is another reason I don’t pay to go to such things.
"Big Mistake......HUGE!"
But Ms. Kelly seemed so very passionate and sensitive about feminist issues.☺
ahhh.....It’s politics, nasty as it may be, it’s what’s for dinner.
I just wish they would stop associating Trump with Conservatives, because I don’t see and Constitutional expertise or any support for our principles.
I see a man who is probably a Republican and has those views which are a mix of Conservatism, libertarianism, and traditional classic democratic views. There is also a lot of showmanship and populist strategy.
I do not see a Conservative.
Having said that.....He can carry on...because at this point in the game he is driving them all nutty..
har, Har, Har!...Three cheers for Monty!
Agreed that it has a feminist air but come on folks. The winner of this primary will be going up against Hillary and the MSM. Do you really think Trump could even get started down this track without being challenged on his past statements?
Fair or not the discussion is inevitable, and he needs to be able to deal with it. The last thing we need is Fox coddling a bunch of hothouse flowers. The primary process should toughen candidates up for the real fight.
Thanks for the link.
The elites are overreaching themselves.
He is dealing with it fine, we don’t have to like the questions and the spirit in which they are given.
Well, Well. There are just certain things a man can't say to a feminist. But a woman can. e.g. GOP would like Carly Fiorina to debate Clinton because 'she can say things that a man could not.' What does that say about a feminist?
A whole lot of her questions channeled Bella Abzug.
All that excrement attempting to paint pro life positions as extremism?
Whatever she may have been before her Howard Stern bimbo makeover is totally erased from who she is now.
Am not a Trump voter; but he has an incredible skill and he used it to wake up the American voter(both sides). Doesn’t really matter which side of the fence Trump is on; he gave us one wonderful opportunity. He exposed the cancer that is invading America. It’s time to stop being distracted and concentrate on the best conservative candidate and get behind the candidate. Who cares if Megyn Kelly and he are having a riff. It’s not relevant unless you want to continue to stay in the same boat. We need to win an election now with the best conservative candidate. We need to unite. Our goal should be winning this election so we can cut out this cancer that has invaded our country no matter what the establishment says or what kind of tactics or dirty tricks they are using.
I'm certainly not suggesting that anyone like it - just that we haven't seen anything yet.
Excellent point. 2015 women are equal, exceeeppptt..
Cannot criticize them if you’re a man.
Cannot look at them sexually even if they’re posed seductively in underwear (looking at you Megyn).
Must state unequivocally that you can NEVER hit a woman, n-e-v-e-r. Even if she is pummeling you like Rhonda Rousey or hurting you or a loved one.
Must pay them the same even if they choose to have babies and need maternity leave or random unplanned days off for sick kids.
Sure sounds equal to me.
