Guess the folks at WorldNetDaily were so pleased with the success of the American Family Association’s (AFA) boycott of Home Depot that they decided to engage in a little temper tantrum of their own. They dropped Ann Coulter as a speaker for their “‘Taking America Back National Conference’ next month because of her plan to address an event titled ‘HOMOCON’ sponsored by the homosexual (sic) Republican group GOProud that promotes same-sex marriage and military service for open homosexuals (sic).“
This shows that we still have our work cut out for us on the right. While openly gay conservatives have, by and large, found welcome on the right, exceptions do remains.
Joseph Farah, editor and chief executive officer of WND, contends GOProud has a very “‘unconservative’ agenda”. Huh? Guess, he doesn’t like small government and individual freedom.
This has gotten Michele Bachmann's birther pal, Joseph Farah's undies in a bunch:
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."
Michele Bachmann has spoken about her admiration for Ann Coulter on the Jason Lewis show:
Where will the tip of the spear with the Titanium Spine come down on this one?
