Here's The CPAC 2011 Agenda

CPAC has published the agenda for next month's conference, where attendance will be greatly diminished thanks to all the reich-wing groups that won't be seen in the same room as GOProud. (We wouldn't either!) Still, there's a fair representation of evil here, including Crazy Eyes, Harry Jackson, Rick Santorum, and Elaine Donnelly. Meeting topics include how to stop gay marriage and how to stop the repeal of DADT. But remember, GOProud says it's easier to be a conservative at CPAC than it is to be a homocon among gays. So it's interesting that their name appears nowhere on the agenda, innit?

Cenk Uygur Vs. Chris Barron, Round Two

Chris Barron says the CPAC boycott is insignificant because most conservatives totally welcome having gay people on their side. Yeeeeah.

Sen. Jim DeMint Joins CPAC Boycott

Sen. Jim DeMint has joined the boycott of CPAC 2011 because of GOProud's sponsorship, prompting the above image by Facebooker Tracy Knauss. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has also backed out of attending, although he won't say why. At the current rate of defections, the nation's "largest annual conservative conference" will by attended by nobody but GOProud and the NRA. Wingnut infighting is hilarious.

Quote Of The Day - Andrew Breitbart

"The point is to welcome people into the big tent. I'm working on getting a venue. The first annual Roy Cohn CPAC Breitbart Homocon Welcoming 80's Extravaganza. I'm thinking of DJ-ing." - Wingnut commentator Andrew Breitbart, invoking the name of the most detested self-loathing homosexual in history to describe the party he says he'll throw for GOProud at this year's CPAC.

Breitbart, who says he supports GOProud's inclusion at the event, is using the controversy to ramp up his long-running feud with World Net Daily. We thank him for making the GOProud-Roy Cohn connection.

World Net Daily: Homos And The Muslim Brotherhood Have Taken Over CPAC 2011

As part of their continuing campaign to destroy CPAC 2011 for allowing GOProud to participate, today World Net Daily announced that the nation's largest annual conservative conference is being secretly run by the "Muslim Brotherhood." For realz!
With the Conservative Political Action Conference under fire for allowing participation by a homosexual activist group called GOProud and for a financial scandal in which some $400,000 was misappropriated under the watch of current leadership, Frank Gaffney, a leader of the conservative movement for the last 30 years, charges that CPAC has come under the influence of the Muslim Brotherhood, which is working to bring America under Saudi-style Shariah law. Gaffney, deputy assistant secretary of defense under Ronald Reagan, is founder and president of the Center for Security Policy and co-author of the new book "Shariah: The Threat to America." He told WND that Islamism has infiltrated the American Conservative Union, the host of CPAC, in the person of Washington attorney and political activist Suhail Khan and a group called Muslims for America.
RELATED: Among the groups boycotting CPAC 2011 over GOProud's sponsorship are the Concernstipated Women For America and the Family Research Council.

Dan Savage Slams GOProud

"GOProud describes marriage equality as a 'states rights issue' which is what interracial marriage once was. GOProud isn't a pro-gay rights organization, they are an organization of gay Quislings and useful idiots that help to window-dress the Republican Party, which is really still rabidly anti-gay to its core." - Dan Savage, speaking on Countdown tonight. Savage goes on to slam Peter LaBarbera, who was instantly on Twitter to respond.

CPAC 2011 Boycott Grows Over Event Sponsorship By GOProud

The Family Research Council and Concerned Women for America have joined the growing list of anti-gay hate groups boycotting CPAC 2011 over the planned presence of GOProud, who are listed as a sponsor of next year's event. Right Wing Watch reports:
In November, the far-right American Principles Project instigated the CPAC boycott over GOProud’s involvement back in November, and groups such as American Values, Capital Research Center, the Center for Military Readiness, Liberty Counsel, Liberty University, and the National Organization for Marriage followed the APP’s lead in boycotting the conference. Today, WorldNetDaily, which has provided support for the boycott movement, reports that the Family Research Council and Concerned Women For America have decided to boycott CPAC. FRC and CWA are easily the largest groups to join the boycott movement, and FRC hosts a similar conference that is geared to Religious Right activists, the Values Voter Summit.
Porno Pete LaBarbara celebrates: "It is gratifying to see FRC and CWA respond appropriately to CPAC's moral sellout of allowing GOProud as a sponsor. By bringing in GOProud, CPAC was effectively saying moral opposition to homosexuality is no longer welcome in the conservative movement."

NOM & Liberty Counsel Join CPAC 2011 Boycott Threat Over GOProud's Presence

GOProud's presence at this year's CPAC conference ruffled a few feathers among the teabaggers, who as we saw yesterday largely regard GOProud as an "inauthentic" Tea Party group. Unswayed, GOProud has signed on to be a part of CPAC 2011. In response, today the Liberty Counsel and NOM signed on with a coalition of conservative groups who have announced their withdrawal from next year's conference if GOProud remains a part of it.

Below is an an excerpt from the "line in the sand" letter from the American Principles Project, the sponsors of the boycott.GOProud has denounced the backers of the boycott as a "pro-immigration amnesty" group.
