I know most of you have heard about the hubbub Ann Coulter has created because of her upcoming appearance at GOProud‘s HOMOCON. It’s unnerved the homobigots at WingNutDaily so badly that they droppedr her as one of the keynotes for WND’s Take Back America hatefest. This e-blast landed in my inbox:
Conservative superstar Ann Coulter today was dropped as a keynote speaker for WND’s “Taking America Back National Conference” next month because of her plan to address an event titled “HOMOCON” sponsored by the homosexual Republican group GOProud that promotes same-sex marriage and military service for open homosexuals.
Joseph Farah, editor and chief executive officer of WND, said the decision was a gut-wrenching one for his team because of their fondness for Coulter as both a person and writer-speaker.
“Ultimately, as a matter of principle, it would not make sense for us to have Ann speak to a conference about ‘taking America back’ when she clearly does not recognize that the ideals to be espoused there simply do not include the radical and very ‘unconservative’ agenda represented by GOProud,” said Farah. “The drift of the conservative movement to a brand of materialistic libertarianism is one of the main reasons we planned this conference from the beginning.”
Asked by Farah why she was speaking to GOProud, Coulter said: “They hired me to give a speech, so I’m giving a speech. I do it all the time.”
Farah then asked: “Do you not understand you are legitimizing a group that is fighting for same-sex marriage and open homosexuality in the military – not to mention the idea that sodomy is just an alternate lifestyle?”
…”Earlier this year, GOProud was permitted to sponsor the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, the biggest event of its kind,” said Farah. “This bad decision resulted in consistently conservative groups dropping sponsorship and withdrawing from participation – much to their credit. GOProud is about infiltration of the conservative movement and dividing it from within with twisted and dangerous ideas way out of the mainstream of American public opinion. Ann Coulter is, I’m afraid, validating this effort for money. I support her speaking to people with whom she disagrees on college campuses. That’s a good idea. I do it, too. But if you see the way GOProud is exploiting its coup in getting Ann Coulter to speak to its HOMOCON event, you begin to understand what a mistake this is for a conservative icon like Coulter.”
My my, he has his panties in a bunch, doesn’t he? That’s just the beginning. Apparently the war over this has cost Farah his friendship with Ann Coulter – and she drop kicked him to boot.
I’m sad that I have lost Ann Coulter as a friend.
But I have no regrets about my action this week in disinviting her to be a keynote speaker at our Taking America Back National Conference in Miami next month. It was the right thing to do under the circumstances – no matter the consequences. I guess you could say she didn’t take it well. The told the Daily Caller I dumped her for publicity.
“Farah is doing this for PUBLICITY and publicity alone,” she wrote in an e-mail.
She expressed anger that WND had quoted from an e-mail exchange between the two of us.
“He’s a swine for using my private e-mails politely answering him,” she wrote. “Why would he do such a despicable thing … for PUBLICITY.”
The evidence that I am a “publicity whore,” according to Coulter, is that my “promotion of the birther nonsense (long ago disproved by my newspaper, Human Events, also Sweetness & Light, American Spectator and National Review, etc., etc., etc.) He’s the only allegedly serious conservative pushing the birther thing. For ONE reason: to get his hits on his website.”
In yesterday’s screed, “Today’s ‘conservatives’ and the sin problem,” he feels abandoned by the conservatives not interested in the “save marriage” movement, and he’s enraged that luminaries on the right are “embracing” homosexuals into the mainstream. Should we take out the tiny violin?
“Conservatives” don’t recognize sin when they see it. Nearly the entire “conservative” establishment, such as it is, fears even mentioning this word or acknowledging its existence. And, I’m afraid, without that recognition, this is a movement that is hopelessly lost.
When was the last time you heard a “conservative” leader with a high media profile speak out against what can only be described as the pervasive glorification of the homosexual culture in our schools, media, entertainment industry, Madison Avenue and, of course, government in all of its forms?
There are a few, to be sure – Pat Buchanan and Michael Savage come to mind. Any others?
Meanwhile, the oldest and most prestigious “conservative” weekly in the nation is owned by a corporation run by an activist homosexual. NOTE FROM PAM: who is this person he’s outing?
Ann Coulter is gleeful about speaking to a group called GOProud, which bills itself as a “conservative” Republican homosexual organization that supports same-sex marriage and open homosexual service in the military.
…”Conservative” icon Glenn Beck, in a conversation with Bill O’Reilly, said basically he doesn’t care about the attack on traditional marriage. Asked if the California ruling will harm the country in any way, he responded: “No I don’t. Will the gays come and get us? I believe that Thomas Jefferson said: ‘If it neither breaks my leg nor picks my pocket what difference is it to me?’”
Rush Limbaugh, the iconic leader of American conservatism, hired the noted homosexual singer Elton John to perform at his wedding. He has not aired one of his bitingly satirical “gay community updates” in years.
“Conservatives,” it seems, are on the verge of not only accepting homosexuality’s domination of the culture, but embracing it.
Man, I’m loving it. What will Joe Farah, Maggie Gallagher and Brian Brown do?

And then there’s this little Facebook post of interest that I came across while surfing for more about HOMOCON. Lookee here — “ex-gay” Exodus International’s Randy Thomas friended GOProud’s Jimmy LaSalvia and seems VERY interested in the goings on…

“Way out of the mainstream”Yeah, because support for marriage equality is oscillating around 50%, and support for open military service is in the mid-70′s.
Apparently, he’s using some definition of mainstream that is itself out of the mainstream.
The theocrats are also hyperventilating over Elisabeth HasselbeckElisabeth Hasselbeck has come out in support of marriage equality and choice.
Needless to say, the Gary Randall types are all a-sputter, saying “morality can and must be legislated, until all hearts are changed”.:
Analysis of the SchismFarah said: “The drift of the conservative movement to a brand of materialistic libertarianism is one of the main reasons we planned this conference from the beginning.”
Translation: ”In order to finally steal every penny owned by middle and lower class Americans, we need a scapegoat to rally citizens against, so they will vote contrary to their own self-interest. Without such a scapegoat, the success of this conference is threatened.”
It’s the lack of a scapegoat that frightens them. They aren’t satisfied just with illegal immigrants and Muslims.
Coulter and Beck, on the other hand, simply realize they can steal everything without using gay people.
OMG it’s happeningThe Repugs are forming circular firing squads!!!!!
Thought only Democrats had those….
She uses the term “serious conservative”Isn’t that a contradiction in terms? ”Humorless,” yes. ”Unironic,” yes. But serious?! If Coulter herself is anything but a media clown, she’s disguising it remarkably well.
That aside, watching conservatives chew on one another’s innards is one of the few genuine pleasures modern America affords its politically-minded citizens. Let’s hope they keep at it for a long time to come.
Not a surprise..I’ve been watching for this since the Citizens United decision came down. Now that the GOP no longer needs to suck up to the Christian Nazi Party, they are fleeing from them in droves. The GOP is split down the middle now. It’s only a matter of time until Farah and his fellow nutcases break away to form their own “christian” party-which will not be a success, IMO. Meanwhile, the sane Repubs will be dancing with joy at getting rid of the Religious Reich. I believe Karl Rove refers to them as “pinheads”.
Thomas wants to be there but it’s not possibleIt would require too much restraint on his part, being around all that yummy, openly gay temptation. By “fly,” I doubt very much he’s talking about insects.
“Molotov Mitchell”?Is he their answer to Hurricane Carter?
“Mutant Unibrow Transplant”That was Ed Wood’s final movie.
It’s wonderfulto see the right wing fracturing into groups with each fostering its own right wing agenda. As they sort themselves out along a “conservative” continuum and squabble among themselves, each really exposes itself to the public for what it is. What I don’t think will ever be the same is the concept of “conservative”. It’s somewhat ironic that these right wingers who destroyed the concept of “liberal”, are also responsible for destroying the traditional concept of “conservative”. They practiced using liberal to mean extreme left, and we now use conservative to mean extreme right.
And yet, the dems still can’t get it together, even though the right is in such disarray.
Ever wonder…what the Three Stooges would hve looked like if there was no such thing as comedy?
Look no further:
“What will Joe Farah, Maggie Gallagher and Brian Brown do? “Each other?
NahEven pigs gotta have SOME standards.
MHO, the best quote….…is this:
“Farah is doing this for PUBLICITY and publicity alone,” she wrote in an e-mail.
She should know. Ann Coulter is only interested in advancing the cult of personality that rose up around her so she can sell more books. She’s queen of doing and saying things just for the publicity it will generate. In a way, you have to sort of respect her ingenuity at that – it’s made her rich.
Come on, when GLENN BECK is for MARRIAGE EQUALITY…its over folks.Here is the new culture war… 'What it means to be an AMERICAN'
Here is what BECK said…
Then there is the do as I say NOT as I do backlash:
All in all its a Win/YouLose/Win situation.
Also, Ann’s smart enough to see these people affect her bottom line…And that’s why she’s running from them as from the plague. So are Beck and Hasselback. They understand these people are box office poison to them. Time will tell if it works.
i think he meant to say….“i’d love to have my fly open and be against a [bathroom stall] wall”. but no, that really wouldn’t be possible considering that he’s straight and everything.
well that, and no one is interested.
“The Right-Wing Judy Garland”Can Liza sue HomoCon for defaming her poor mom like that?
Agreed, Orion…I suspect after the GOP kicks out the assholes like Farah and his Christian Nazis, they will move more towards a position similar to what’s going on in the UK with the Tories. They have no choice-they have to do that in order to win elections. Beating on the anti-LGBT drum has done nothing but alienate Independents and Moderates who aren’t anti LGBT-and there are more of THEM than there are racist, sexist and homophobic bigots like Farah.
It wouldn’t be defamation, but…depending on what sort of rights Liza and Lorna own regarding the use of their mother’s name, something might be do-able.
Farah’s picturereminded me of someone I haven’t thought of in years. A man I knew in high school. I also knew his wife. She didn’t know that he often-expressed wish was for the two of us to ride naked through the desert on my motorcycle. He was more than a little creepy. So is Farah.
Farah is outing Jeffrey Carneal‘Human Events’ is owned by Eagle Publishing of which Jeffrey Carneal is President. Eagle also runs Regnery Publishing which has releases some really wacko right-wing books (including Ann Coulter).

He’s not straight, no matter how desperately he may wish he wereHe is “ex” gay, ie so deep in the closet that he can see a lamppost in the woods.
And with all the other closet cases that will be there, I’m sure he would have no trouble at all finding anonymous (and no doubt unsafe because, you know, only gays get HIV) sex.

What??“Taking America Back”? Just who amongst this bunch of loonies believe they own America?? Ohhhh that’s right… they ALL do!!
Excuse me whilst I call for the guys in the white coats and those funny jackets with the straps in the back…
RebrandingBizarre, but they’re still the same bunch: they were crass hypocrites before, and they’re still that, now.
Coulter…Look, Coulter is a comedian. She’s taken far, far too seriously by people on both sides of the aisle. She says heinous things but (unlike, say, Sarah Silverman,) doesn’t present them as irony so much as hyperbole. Offense is part of her shtick.
On gay issues, Coulter has always struck me as treading lightly, because 1. she’s a world class fag hag,* and 2. she knows that she appeals to both gay republicans and cultural conservatives. She often defends the GOP stance on gay marriage by noting that it is generally the same one held by President Obama, and I’ve noted in a few of her columns phases along the lines of, “no offense to my gay readers, but…” Then again, I don’t read her column, so there might be many, many examples of her blasting gay marriage as the road straight to Hell that I’ve just missed.
* I hope that antiquated, possibly-sexist term doesn’t offend–it isn’t meant to, but a suitable replacement phrase escapes me at the moment.
Something I don’t think people have touched on in this…Didn’t O’Reilly used to claim that gay marriage should be left to the voters, BUT also say that he would, personally, vote for it? I very clearly recall reading that just a few years ago, and can’t find it anywhere now.
