Palin defends GOProud participation at CPAC (misleading headline)

No great surprise here, really; Palin has quietly backed the end of DADT and expressed support for conservative gays and lesbians in the past. Speaking here with David Brody from the Christian Broadcast Network and excerpted by Breitbart TV, Palin doesn’t endorse GOProud but does defend their attendance at CPAC, and argues that the value of events such as CPAC is to debate the issues and provide as much information as possible to attendees:

Has anyone yet declared that they are running?

[BigSkyFreeper]

Sarah hasn’t. Neither has Bachmann.

[McGruff]

This “article” is a stretch. I fail to see GOPProud mentioned by Sarah and she doesn’t support repeal of DADT. You’re a Retwit.

They have an emotional and mental illness most often caused by molestation. Sometimes by a weak/absent father and an overbearing abusive mother.

Has anyone yet declared that they are running?

Herman Cain has. I don't if he's filed any official paperwork, but he's definitely said he's running.

[DJ MacWoW]

Unfortunately we can now see it on TV. Chucked mine 3 years ago.

[allmendream]

Sorry, but that “3/5ths of a person” anti-constitution and unhistorical liberal talking point needs to be mercilessly stamped out wherever it raises its ugly lying head!

[pissant]

Dude. relax. Save your melodrama for after the candidates actually enter the race and start competing.

[BigSkyFreeper]

Right, let’s all make excuses for their alternative lifestyle, sugarcoat it some more so it’s morally acceptable to more people.

[trisham]

I don’t know if I’ve ever been to a “gay” bar, though it’s been so long since I went to a bar or club I’m not sure I could recall. I may have, and I have been to clubs where there were clearly homosexuals present. At one time we went to a number of parties in the city where the majority present were homosexuals. Fortunately, nothing out of the ordinary occurred.

Most are still trying to get support first. We do have a serious problem, which is a severe lack of Political celebrity among our real and electable candidates.

Instead, most keep going back to the insanity of the past, or blindly support extremely flawed candidates. (Palin)

[backwoods-engineer]

What will be REALLY funny is seeing the Palinstinians weasel their ways around having to accept this.

What is even funnier is to see Palin haters like you defend the statist Mitt Romney and his fellow gaggle of gun-banning RINOs.

I won't vote for a damned one of them. I'll vote for Sarah, even if she is for the DADT repeal (SO AM I). I'll vote for Sarah, even if she approves of gay conservatives having a place at CPAC (you mean you oppose them taking part in the political system?).

No weaseling needed, Palin hater.

[trisham]

This part of the process seems interminable. I’ll be glad when we can finally roll up our sleeves and get on with it.

[BigSkyFreeper]

Instead, most keep going back to the insanity of the past, or blindly support extremely flawed candidates. (Palin)

Or Romney or Pawlenty or Huckaphony or Governor Goodhair of Texas.  

[DJ MacWoW]

Those aren’t excuses they are reality. Those that have left the lifestyle and gotten help have been very open about what twisted them. There are also statistics on molestation. Mental illness and it’s damage is real.

[backwoods-engineer]

She retweeted Tammy Bruce’s take on those opposing the DADT repeal. That is all you need to know.

Here's something else you need to know: I SUPPORT DADT REPEAL as well! All Constitutional conservatives should! We should return to the way President Washington dealt with homosexuality in the troop barracks: drum 'em outta the service.

[DJ MacWoW]

When homosexuals mix with others at parties they are on their “best” behavior. If you wander into one of their bars without being with one of them they will make your visit hell.

[babyfreep]

Not only are they “demanding” it, they want to make it a crime if we don’t...and that is thought control in pure form.

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

From how I see it, six months in political terms, is nearly an eternity. Much happens in that time. However, a distinct advantage comes from someone getting early name recognition among the ignorant masses. Most seem to vote for names or faces they recognize and have no clue what they stand for. (unfortunately)

A PS. If there’s a cause there is also a cure.
