Best CPAC Tweet.
Had a good giggle about Joe bemoaning misinformation and a lack of fact checking. Mexican Independence Day, Obama-flags-Whitney Houston, girls being harassed in a school bathroom…
Here is the thing with the “gays” and CPAC. GOProud (conservative LGBT group) co- sponsored CPAC in 2010-11- which caused other groups like Heritage Foundation, Family Research Council and Concerned Women of America to boycott the event. In 2012 CPAC caved to pressure and shut out GOProud.
This year GOProud didn’t ask to co-sponsor or present or set up a booth or participate officially in any way. They were granted the privilege of attending. Wow! Mingling around just like the straight people! Chris Barron- GOProud co-founder resigned over this. Jimmy LaSalvia- co founder- not only left GOProud- but left the Republican party.

Wait, Joe is right. Forget everything I’ve seen, heard, learned, and experienced about right wing extremism. They really ARE all inclusive! All the ideas, hate speech, lies, thinly veiled homophobic and racist statements, the entire uber long laundry list of smiling while the facts say otherwise…..it was all just imagined! What a relief! Thanks, Joey!
Here’s the irony regarding the author’s accusations of a disregard for proper fact-checking from the other side: It is now a week later and still no retraction or correction from him or SCVTV addressing the blatant misinformation and lack of fact-checking exhibited in his last published commentary piece, where he incorrectly and repeatedly identifies “Cinco de Mayo” as “Mexican Independence Day.”
Everyone makes mistakes, but normally when a reputable journalist or news commentator does so, irrespective of their political leanings, they issue a retraction. It’s simply the professional thing to do.
If you’re going to bemoan a lack of fact-checking and a disregard for the truth from the other side, valid as your concerns may be, it would behoove you to first practice what you preach.
As an independent voter who leans fiscally conservative, I’d love to see the GOP finally leave behind the prejudicial and obsolete social platform that made me leave the party in the first place, but I think we’re still a ways off from that.
If the former president and current member of the school board wants to correct himself, he is free to do so.
SCVTV, indeed, that’s what perplexes me the most. I assume basic world history is part of the curriculum at the Hart school district, which makes this sort of mistake from a board member all the more troubling when it remains uncorrected. Failing to correct or even aknowledge the error also conveys a lack of respect for the history and heritage of our school district’s Latino students.. which only reinforces the unfortunate GOP stereotype of racial insensitivity that this article attempts to dispel.
How nice to know that CPAC welcomes the LGBT community. Of course they do! They just don’t believe these people deserve equal rights. It’s so very nice of them to invite those whom they consider second-class citizens to their convention of hate speakers. Even funnier: Last year, Chris Christie cooperated with the President, and Christie was unwelcome at CPAC. This year, Christie’s abject political corruption is revealed and he is welcomed with open arms. Nice.
Last Year I invited myself to CPAC under the premise Black folks need to be where our interests are in play and at risk..
http://www.dailykos.com/…
Dr. Carson, Woodson and others as GOP cheerleaders have been dismal and have failed the GOP/CPAC in their efforts to recruit Black voters.
I was hoping to get an invite to CPAC this year and offer a presentation on how to recruit Black Americans to CPAC, clearly they did not have an interest in my presentation.
That is not good news….
Joe, not only are you once again being less than truthful, you are name calling and accusing the other side of the aisle of things that are simply falsehoods.
Let’s start with your assertion that the atheist group was not allowed to have a booth due to possible disruption. That’s not the story CPAC organizers, the org itself, or those who oppose the conservative atheist group’s presence are telling. Here is a CNN article with quotes from every side of the matter: http://religion.blogs.cnn.com/…/cpac-reverses-decision…/
As for your assertion that the Left is attempting to change history and deflect from it’s KKK roots..I do hope you understand Dixiecrats, American history, and what happened post civil war with the Democrat and Republican party. This is history 101, after all. The Southern Dems who still supported slavery split off from the party and formed….come on….look it up….I’ll give you time to go Google it…
Moving on, your assertion that gays, minorities were welcomed and well received at CPAC – I guess that would explain the distribution of this flyer http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/goproud-cpac-beaver (which, ironically could be distributed but the atheist flyer calling on the religious conservatives to change wasn’t allowed…hmmmm) Or the VERY anti-gay organizations such as CitizenLink and the Liberty Alliance were TOP SPONSORS at CPAC. Yes, welcoming indeed.
And then there’s the panel on minority outreach that was empty at CPAC … just to throw some fun in there I will you a RIGHT WING link on the matter http://www.newsmax.com/…/minoritie…/2014/03/07/id/556688
Which brings me to the biggest question of them all for you Joe, which you failed to reveal in your article…why were you there when White Nationalists were allowed booths and atheists and conservative gays were not? Why was a member of the Hart school board present at a conference that had no issue with the inclusion of WHITE NATIONALISTS?
Do you think all of the students and teachers of color would be comfortable knowing you spent the past few days with White Nationalists? Are YOU comfortable with it? I’m not. I certainly wouldn’t attend a conference that openly welcomed them, even though you claimed it wasn’t a Klan gathering, yet….well, there they were. Here’s the link for those who’d like to verify their presence: http://www.rightwingwatch.org/…/cpac-once-again-shuts…
Unlike Joe, I actually source my accusations.
Ann Coulter’s continuing escapades at CPAC bring dishonor to conservatives. She abhors “the browning of America” and equates immigration with rape. See Vanity: Ann Coulter’s Quest for Glory for more details, available at http://www.coulterwatch.com/vanity.pdf.
