What really went on at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference, the preeminent conservative gathering of the year? Michelle Malkin goes unhinged, Ann Coulter defends her privacy, a “curiously pale black Republican” explains why black Republicans can’t get elected, and Bob Barr, Grover Norquist and “Flipper,” the anti-Romney dolphin, discuss the conservative movement. A must-see bit of film-making from Max Blumenthal of The Nation.
And get this gem from right-wing hate-mongerer David Horwitz:
“The left is driven by envy, resentment and a ferocious hatred of anybody on the other side. And that’s because it’s a religious movement which believes that the world can be redeemed, we can end world poverty, we can end racism, sexism and homophobia, if only those damned conservatives would die. And so every leftist has in his heart, is consumed with hate.”
Pot, meet kettle.
HEY PUDDYBUD. I LIKE THAT GUY AT THE AFRICAN-AMERICAN REPUBLICAN TABLE. WHY AREN’T THE WHITE REPUBLICAN IDEOLOGUES YOU IDENTIFY WITH TALKING TO HIM?
Max is an ass
He seems to have some penis envy
It doesn’t show for me so I can’t comment.
It’s fun watching the conservative movement implode!!! Like the Kingdome, they’re going down in a cloud of dust. What a mess!

Let’s see…the wingnuts scream for the heads of a couple of bloggers for being “offensive” but get all smiley-faced when Coulter tosses off absurd racial and sexual epithets, calls widows and orphans opportunists and advocates assassinations…”only joking, of course”.
Do I need to go into rehab for saying “hypocrites”??
@5 Rightwing hypocrisy is a given, just as rightwing lying is a given. It’s the two things they do best. In fact, it’s the only things they do well.

Conservatives Always Choose Corporate Profits Over People’s Lives
“The Bush Administration is about to let a drug company sell one of our few remaining effective antibiotics for use on livestock. This is so the drug company can make higher profits. They do not care that this decision could kill a LOT of us.”
THE IRONY OF THIS IS THEY PUT THEMSELVES AT RISK.
One can only hope….
The fact that the beliefs espoused by nutcases such a Malkin, Horowitz, Norquist, and Coulter are not dismissed out of hand as “shrill”, “unhinged”, or “loony” by the MSM says a lot about our country. These people are well financed by an economic oligarchy that seeks nothing less than unlimited political and economic power, despite their whiny protestations that they simply believe in “free markets” and “limited government”.
We have been in political gridlock of one form or another since GE’s welfare queen ronnie raygun was elected president. Sooner or later, one side is going to come out on top. If you really believe in the actualization of human freedom and social dignity, you won’t throw your lot in with the creeps at that conference.
Michelle Malkin is hot!
I love it. The party of lies, hypocracy, and hate is imploding even with all the $$$$$ their corporate masters spend framing, and twisting their talking points to their retarded followers.
Every single GOP frame is based on nonsense, and the Reich Wing Controlled Press keep shoving their lies down our throats as if we still don’t get it.
By the time these corporate crook front men get done spinning they will have dug a hole to the core.
Horotits does have one thing right though. Every single thing related to the GOP is hated by anyone that truly believes in America, and our constitution. Not just “liberals”.
If we wanted a fascist state, ran by corporations, and a fuhrer, we should have backed Hitler. I mean the rest of us besides Bush’s granddaddy…..
HOROWITZ IS FUNDED BY SCAIFE. A MAN ON “WINGNUT WELFARE”.
‘NUFF SAID.
I’m looking for a word to describe the conservative conference-goers. Hmmmm. How about “tawdry?” I was in San Diego in 1994 at the joint, election central vote-count gathering. Particularly obscene behavior exhibited by some republicans, rauciously overlooked by others, made it a sickeningly tawdry affair.
Michael Moore should be proud. Praise him. Exalt his name. This is the type of garbage that passes on the Left for “hard” journalism.
If you want examples of people with real courage, browse YouTube for videos of what happens when conservatives go into the real “vipers nest” (i.e. left-wing rallies, conferences, etc.)
More often than not, they’re attacked, verbally and physically harassed, and get asked to leave. Looks like “Courageous Max” was treated pretty well. Didn’t have his camera broken or nothing…
Too bad for the inbred right wing traitors and cowards that Max got a video camera into the child rapist convention. The Publicans show their true colors and when it’s on video, it’s hard for them to lie about it. I love the punk who wouldn’t let Max video his confederate flag pin. Guess he was afraid we’d come to find out Publicans are racists!
Two words for David Horwitz:
Project much?
Yer Killin Me @15;
You beat me toit.
@13 “More often than not, they’re attacked, verbally and physically harassed, and get asked to leave.”
You mean like this?

Roger Rabbit Commentary: Blaming Republican behavior on “leftists” is soooo yesterday.
Hmmm … Malkin appears to suffer from a victimhood complex.
Wow the irony of it all.
My take on Ann Coulter is she was making a parody of the two John Edwards bloggers who caricatured Christianity in such “wonderful” terms. What did Voice of Chalk Scratching do? He wrote this:
http://www.horsesass.org/?p=2515
“An inside politics/inside blogosphere brouhaha ended today with a statement from Democratic presidential hopeful John Edwards that he would not fire two campaign staffers over “offensive” comments written on their personal-but-prominent liberal blogs. Amanda Marcotte of Pandagon and Melissa McEwan of Shakespeare’s Sister had been hired to head Edwards’ blogging and netroots outreach efforts, but came under attack from right-wingers like Michelle Malkin and others for prior posts containing foul and offensive language. And in recent days Bill Donohue of the Catholic League had been making the rounds of conservative talk shows, loudly demanding the bloggers’ scalps, accusing them of anti-Catholic rhetoric.”
Offensive? Where was the outrage when bloggers Amanda Marcotte and Melissa McEwan were writing anti-Chrisitiam “essays” from all the ASSWipes here.
So to the head ASSWipe on ASSWipes it’s okay to support those who tear down good loving, charity giving, Union Gospel Mission working, hand money to beggars thinking, buy food and shelter supporting Christians because it’s the thing to do?
John Barelli, I just searched the ‘Wipes threads and you NEVER said anything negative about them. Why was that?
MATT 10:32 “Whoever acknowledges me before men, I will also acknowledge him before my Father in heaven. 33 But whoever disowns me before men, I will disown him before my Father in heaven.” Hmmm…?
While her choice of words is distateful, so were Marcott and McEwan to me!
What say you John Barelli, GBS, and other “Christians” on the left?
What say you Clueless? You can answer after you tell us why you changed your nick!
Oh Pellethead, people should be held accountable for the words they use.
If you don’t agree with me you’re a Nazi
Right wingers as Fascists
Kill all neocons
If when not used as a noun
etc. etc. etc.
If you are sooooooooo outraged, why didn’t any ASSWipe get up in arms when Isaiah Washington called his Grey’s Anatomy costar a “faggot”? Would “fruitcake” been acceptable?
I didn’t find a left wing ASSWipe comment on this? Oh… is it because Isaish is a black man? We’ll have the wrath of Jesse and Al visiting us?
I love these double standards you leftist libtards throw up as canards trying to get people in a tizzy when you perform the three monkey routine everyday one of your libtards performs something really similar!
Why is it leftist libtards force people who disagree with them into reeducation classes. Isaiah Washington attended “cultural awareness” classes so he could determine “why” he said those things.
Wasn’t that the NAZI way in the 30’s Pellethead?
The seems to be a lot of hypocracy involved on both the left and right. Coulter makes some assinine comment, the left goes crazy. Bill Maher says Cheney is Hitler, the right goes nuts. There’s never going to be an end to it.
Pot, meet kettle. Indeed!
Have you ever seen John Edwards’ wife? Waking up every morning and looking at that face would be enough to turn any guy into a faggot. Ann had it right!
If attractive wives are the standard of hetrosexuality, well then we now know what George Bush was thinking about for those 12 minutes after his pal Osama bin Laden attacked the WTC. Georgie boy was no doubt wondering how long it would be before Lush Flimbaugh got some more Viagra.
25 – Let’s put it this way… Mrs Edwards makes Mrs Bush THE FIRST look attractive!!! (Barbara, that is, if you’ve lost count). Laura is hot fashion model in comparison to Edwards.
How could a pretty boy like John Edwards marry such a fat, ugly whale? He must be getting some on the side, possibly with other guys, hence Ann’s comment.
#19-22 inclusive:
After all the shit the conservative movement and the Bush Administration is responsible for…
…you are not ashamed????…Mortified????
You call yourself a responsible citizen?
You call yourself a Christian?
You, sir are pathetic.
Puddybud @ 19:
Never, ever let your moral principles be dictated by the action, or inaction of others. It only serves to cheapen your own moral standing.
If you believe what Ann Coulter said was wrong, then you and you alone should hold her accountable to the same degree and manner you would hold a Liberal accountable. If you’re going to spout the conservative mantra of “personal accountability” you should lead by example. Ask PacMan what this means if you’re not certain. It’s engrained in military leadership skills.
When you characterize her with one word: “distasteful,” in a tirade of attacks on those from the left you only serve to prove my point about social conservatives: “Faggot is the new ‘Nigger’.”
At its core principle is hatred. Hatred of others who are not “like us.”
Whether is McCarthyism, the Republican Southern Strategy, denying rights to gays, or cutting VA benefits while giving tax breaks to the wealthiest among us and then saying you “Support the Troops” with a $3 magnet made in China slapped on the back of your car is precisely why the Republican party lost it’s majority in Congress. The obvious hypocrisy is not lost on the American public.
In closing, it’s not important what John Barelli or I have to say, what is important is what you have to say.
Lead by example Puddybud, lead by example.
@ 26:
By that logic then, why in the Hell was George W. Bush taking weekly phone calls from Rev. Haggard???
He must’ve had the good Rev on speaker phone while snorting meth and slamming Rove in the ass!
Jesus, what kind of convesations where those three having in between visits from Jack Abramoff?
Proud to be an Ass @8:
Truly well-stated.
Coulter goes over the top (once again) and the Repubs are “imploding?”
If you say so.
Laura Bush is a fat ugly cow and it’s no wonder that Georgie likes to suck dick.
By the way, Laura Bush killed a guy.
GBS: I am so glad you put such moral weight on “what I say”! What that says is most of the crap from the libtards is worthless.
It is important what you or John Barelli has to say. Why? You two are the only level headed thinking liberal Christian people who post. The other people who post her are worthless to me! So with that it is important.
Thank you GBS.
Fuckhead @33
Good.
Go somewhere else you hypocritical fool.
To all Libtards: I present Evidence Sample #1 – Post #34.
Sucks to be you RudeJacks!
Puddybud at 33:
I cannot emphasize this enough; only YOUR moral wieght in the issue of blatant bigotry displayed at CPAC in general and Ann Coulter specifically matters since it’s YOUR politcal party.
What say you, Puddybud, will you denounce what Ann said or will you give your tacit apporval of bigotry by conservatives?
