But as a point of clarification, let me make it clear that ACU and CPAC do not condone or endorse the use of hate speech,” said David A. Keene, ACU Chairman.

Hate speech?
I'm not buying this and neither should any conservative.
Who was Ann hating in her speech?
Unless multi gazillionaire ambulance chasers are considered a protected class?
This smacks of thought control and worse.
It's becoming obvious why Republicans lost the congress.
We've been seriously compromised.
Maybe I'm just a new or different class of conservative? You know what? It feels good not to think like the herd at least you can prepare for what's coming.

I think ACU and CPAC were doing some damage control and some parsing of words. If you read the statement carefully, you will see that they didn't accuse Ann of using hate speech. They also noted that, "“Ann Coulter is known for comments that can be both provocative and outrageous. That was certainly the case in her 2007 CPAC appearance and previous ones as well." You can bet she will be invited back.

I also direct your attention to these sentences, "ACU and CPAC do not condone or endorse every speaker or their comments at the conference. As such, ACU and CPAC leave it to our audience to determine whether comments are appropriate or not." I attended CPAC. It is up to me to decide, not ACU or CPAC. Sounds good to me.
