Homophobia costs CPAC cheddar

CPAC losing significant chunks of the gay-bashing Right over GOProud
7 comments By David Neiwert


As Susie reported earlier, it seems right-wingers have brains with overdeveloped fear centers.

And what are they REALLY scared of? Why, Teh Gay, of course:

Two of the nation's premier moral issues organizations, the Family Research Council and Concerned Women for America, are refusing to attend the Conservative Political Action Conference in February because a homosexual activist group, GOProud, has been invited.

"We've been very involved in CPAC for over a decade and have managed a couple of popular sessions. However, we will no longer be involved with CPAC because of the organization's financial mismanagement and movement away from conservative principles," said Tom McClusky, senior vice president for FRC Action.

"CWA has decided not to participate in part because of GOProud," CWA President Penny Nance told WND.

FRC and CWA join the American Principles Project, American Values, Capital Research Center, the Center for Military Readiness, Liberty Counsel, and the National Organization for Marriage in withdrawing from CPAC. In November, APP organized a boycott of CPAC over the participation of GOProud.

As Steve Benen observes, they must be scared of getting cooties or something. Mustang Bobby at Shakesville has more.

You'll also note that many of the groups listed as stepping out from CPAC are groups newly listed as hate groups by the SPLC. They may be bitching and moaning about that, but then they keep proving its accuracy on a daily basis.

I guess that there are things that are more important to these assholes than money… Blind nekkid fear and hatred comes to mind.

3. All of which raises the question: Why would a gay person want to be part of a repuke group???

5. "Overdeveloped" or can we truly say "Deformed"
Isn't over development a type of deformation?


Liberals are terrible about messaging even when we have the best message. Shouldn't we be choosing our words more carefully and calling Conservative brains what they are, deformed?

6. I would have used "overactive" instead.
But that's just me.
