I like the word “homocon” a lot:
WorldNetDaily, the conservative site that’s become America’s #1 source for information about Barack Obama’s citizenship and hard money investment schemes, has revoked Ann Coulter’s invitation to speak at the web site’s national conference. The reason: Her high-profile September 25 appearance coming up at GOProud’s “Homocon.”

How will the homosexual Islamofacists with their Sharia law be stopped now that Grover and Ann have sold out?
toujoursdan
Wow. If Ann Coulter can’t even pass the purity test because she talked to some uber-right-wing gays, then they should start losing every election in a few year’s time.
Pangloss
At Homocon, she’s being billed as “The Right Wing Judy Garland.” Not kidding.

I’m shocked that WND would invite a trans-gendered individual to speak at their conference to begin with.

Coulter’s a Homoconunculus? hoocoodanode?

Amirite that “Homocons” was originated by Richard Goldstein for the title of his book condemning gay conservatism? Cute of the actual homocons to appropriate it.

I wonder if, at some point, these jackasses will decide to define themselves by what they stand for, rather than what they stand against.

You know that forcible conversion to Islamofascism is totally what the Real Gay Agenda(tm) is all about.
Or perhaps forcible conversion to being gay is what the Islamofascist Agenda is all about.
Something like that. In short gays and Islamofascists are working together to advance their mutual agenda in making us all gay Muslim extremists.

Homocon is a great word!

Between this and Norquist, I am having a most awesome day.
If the Conservative intelligensia wants to undergo a One True Scotsman process of winnowing out all ideological deviancy, I cannot help but cheer them on in support. Go on! Feast upon yourselves! We’ll just be sitting here with the popcorn and microbrews…

Sadly, No! was pretty good on the Ann Coulter appearance. Apparently, she’s the “Judy Garland of GOP LBGT,” whatever that means.

We’re talking about Pam Geller and WorldNetDaily in both of these instances.
I know that the way things are going someday Pam Geller and WND will be the pinnacles of Conservative Intelligentsia[*], as those with brains are run out of the party by the brainless. But as of today calling them the Conservative Intelligentsia is still a somewhat funny joke.
[*] The day that Pam Geller and the WorldNutDaily crew become the Conservative Intelligentsia is probably the same day that they get kicked out of the Conservative Movement themselves for not being pure enough, what with their book-larnin’ and their ability to use the Devil’s Own Internet and all.

This is all hopelessly confusing. Isn’t there some umbrella rightwing loony organization that’s supposed to be in charge of all the various sub-groups? And didn’t Ann Coulter once call some Democrat whose name escapes me a faggot?

I figgered they dropped Ann Coulter when they discovered the conference hall they rented didn’t have a men’s restroom.

Then they came for Ann Coulter…
…and I didn’t speak up because, hey, it was Ann Coulter!

@licensed to kill time: oh, now that is going to be a great response I will have to use in the future when people start talking about God’s plan for this or that. “Hey, this is what happened, so obviously it’s God’s plan. I guess this means God loves the [insert group here] just like he loves the little children”

@Quaker in a Basement: Yep, the woman who wrote that the U.S. policy in the middle east should be to kill their men and convert the survivors to Christianity is nothing but a cafeteria conservative these days.

@KG: Whip out Romans 13 on them: “”Let every person be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God.”
Since Obama is pres, and obviously God put him in charge, the good little christians should shut the fuck up.

@Suffern ACE:
And notice it’s because she’s willing to take money from gay Republicans to speak to gay Republicans.
And this makes her a cafeteria conservative. One only wonders what they’d do to the real Ronald Reagan if he were still alive. (Not the mythical St. Ronnie they’ve constructed in their heads – the real Reagan who actually voted to raise taxes when he needed to and was willing to negotiate openly with the Soviets back when the world still had Soviets.)

All these different rightwing groups are adding amendments to their purity tests faster than the speed of light. It’s getting to the stage that almost none of them will be able to pass. Very funny.

Given that this is homocon, I think that’s “Insert Tab P into Slot A”. Or maybe “Insert Tab D into Slot A, then apply two layers of W”.
