In an interview with TPM today, Khan described how "every few months there's a different iteration of [Gaffney] and his cohorts' wild accusations," but it is simply u...

Right Wing Boycott Movement Links CPAC to the Muslim Brotherhood
Incensed over the participation of the conservative gay-rights group GOProud in the Conservative Political Action Conference, or CPAC, far-right Activists are now trying to connect the major conservative event to the Muslim Brotherhood.

The CPAC War: Getting Weirder
So the movement right is having a huge fight over who gets to attend CPAC.

Creeping Jihadis Join Sodomites, Infiltrate CPAC

Conservatives claim anti-tax crusader secretly leading Muslim indoctrination
Stumble This! Are a growing cross-section of American Conservatives really secret Muslims bent on destroying western civilization?

CPAC infiltrated by radical gays, radical Muslims
I noted last week that the annual Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington is currently the target of a Boycott by social Conservatives over the inclusion of the gay Republican group GOProud. Now, CPAC has angered a separate segment of the Conservative Movement by allowing the conservative group Muslims for America to participate.  As Politico's Ben Smith quipped, "Who knew that creeping Sharia was so gay-friendly?" The conservative news site WorldNetDaily, which has been trum...

Ali Hasan Drawn Into Bizarre CPAC Witch Hunt?
An interesting blog post today at the People for the American Way--you might have read recently that some Activists preparing to attend the annual Conservative Political Action Conference, or CPAC, are upset about the participation of a GOP Gay Rights group, GOProud. This includes Colorado Springs-based Focus on the Family, who reportedly is considering pulling out of future CPACs in response, although they're still on the list of sponsors for this year's. As it turns out, GOProud isn't the onl...

Conservatives and gays and Muslims -- oh my
Conservatives AND GAYS AND MuslimS -- OH MY.... The Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), arguably the nation's largest annual right-wing gathering, kicks off in about a month. Under normal circumstances, the buzz would be about the speakers' list and the size of the crowd. And that would make sense. This should be an especially big year for CPAC -- emboldened Republican Party Leaders will be on hand to boast about their right-wing agenda, and a legion of likely presidential candida...

Bigots Still Think All Muslims are Terrorists
If there was any doubt that Frank Gaffney (the conservative National Security "expert" who has called President Obama "America's first Muslim President" and has stated that the U.S. Missle Defense Agency's logo is a secret manifestation of the President's secret Muslim faith, that the President is not an American Citizen, and that the President sends secret coded messages to Al-Qaeda and the Taliban that the United States plans to sub...

Conservatives Running Away from Conservative Conference Because Some Gays Might Show Up

Really??!!
I’m observing a remarkable constellation of very high information-density items popping up in the news.  My favorite, just on aggregate looniness grounds, is that (i) Grover Norquist has arranged for the (ii) CPAC to be infiltrated and subverted by the (iii) Muslim Brotherhood. Then there’s the astonishing 1998 finding that vaccinations cause Autism.  A Cornell psychologist has demonstrated precognition. In the “news you can really use” department, why we don...

The welcome gay conservatives find on the right
Perhaps the greatest misunderstanding we gay Conservatives face is the media narrative that a dominant thread of modern conservative thought is hostility toward Homosexuals while the principal plank of the Republican party is Discrimination against gay people.  To be sure, there are elements of the conservative coalition antagonistic to gay people.   Anyone familiar with the dominant strains of conservative thought, however, knows that criticism of Homosexuality is largely tangential to the ...

Should Gays Be a Part of the Conservative Movement?
