CPAC Organizers Drop Ann Coulter From Speaking List

Think Progress:

On February 7-9, conservatives from around the country will gather in Washington, D.C. for the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). This year, one of the darlings of the far right's oft-distasteful and unpleasant punditry will not be invited:

She's always been outrageous, but when conservative Ann Coulter talked of 9/11 "rag heads" at the 2006 Conservative Political Action Conference and linked the slur "faggot" to Sen. John Edwards in a 2007 speech, CPAC's organizers decided to cut her from the list of speakers at the February 7-9 conference expected to draw 6,000.

Its sickening to think that the future memebers of one of the two major american political parties looks to a person like this for inspiration.

She dosn't care....she has high hopes of working for Hillary. Poor Hillary almost puked when Coulter said she would endorse Clinton.....if......McCain.....well even she dosn't think McCain has any more chance of winning the Presidency then a one legged man has of winning the asskicking contest.

I wonder if a man has ever known Ann Coulter.

In the Biblical sense.

Conservative pundit and author Ann Coulter was dropped as a guest speaker by the CPAC, causing uproar and potential retaliation from several groups, including the American Horse Shows Association, the American Saddlebred Horse Association, and possibly the National Show Horse Registry. Several lawsuits were hinted at, including charges of discrimination and cruelty to animals. Such a move shows a definite and clear lack of horse-sense.

Damn - even CPAC has some people they won't deal with.

I think her omission had a lot more to do with her "Hillary Endorsement" than anything else. CPAC loves off color, provocative remarks ...

Go CPAC.

Now more moderates need to go after Rush and write-in to still Coulter-endorsing newspapers to get to loudmouthed, divisive figures out of the party.
Moderates need to be VOCAL and speak UP-before the radicals of the party try to get it back and splinter it.
The GW era of extremism/played on by conjoining just enough of the divisive whack factions of the party by Rove-needs to GET INVOLVED.

My generation didn't use such words as I'm going to but I'm sorry only one word can describe this woman SLUT!

Suppose a reactionary performer stopped getting headlines, and noone cared...

When a polemicist falls in an empty forest, does she make a sound?

The dunking stool is next for Ms Coulter. If that doesn't work-she gets concrete boots & a lead belt before she goes swimming in her favorite cess pool. The neo-cons will have a septic tank cast for her funeral. Neo-cons aren't wimps like liberals & progressives.
Yes, Ms Coulter has a heated cess pool for cold weather swims.

Ann Coulter is probably the most popular topic on HuffPo and there is at least one "Ann" thread running at all times.

Why? Because she's articulate, smart, opinionated... and smoking hot!

That's an unbeatable combination, IMO.

Why was she ever on a "speakers" list?

She doesn't speak..She hisses.
