Ann Coulter dropped from right-wing speaking gig for headlining gay Republican event 'HOMOCON'
Source: NY Daily News

Ann Coulter just got dumped.

The conservative commentator has been publicly dropped from a keynote speaking gig at right-wing website WorldNetDaily's "Taking America Back National Conference" because she is also booked to headline a gay Republican group’s event.

The website’s backers say they gave Coulter the boot because she refused to ditch her speech at "HOMOCON," an event sponsored by GOProud, which "represents gay conservatives and their allies."

"Ultimately, as a matter of principle, it would not make sense for us to have Ann speak to a conference about 'taking America back' when she clearly does not recognize that the ideals to be espoused there simply do not include the radical and very 'unconservative' agenda represented by GOProud," said Joseph Farah, editor and CEO of WND.

Coulter defended her involvement with GOProud, telling Farah, "They hired me to give a speech, so I'm giving a speech. I do it all the time."

1. Where's that weirdo been lately anyways
It seems that not too long ago, you couldn't turn on a right wing radio or TV show without having to endure Coulter's venom. She's been absent lately. Not that I mis her. I she working on a new project to incinerate the Godless left?

5. "they hired me to give a speech"
What... about John Edwards' hair?

The very fact that both these stupid organizations want to, and are "fighting over" the likes of "Ann Who?" makes them both look dumber than dirt.


It's only slightly interesting watching deluded fools fight with each other over nothing. Kinda funny really. Knock yourselves out, girls!

6. There is just so much wrong here.
A bunch of anti-gay bigots dropping another anti-gay bigot who somehow got picked to be the keynote speaker by a group of gay Republican idiots who must have been scraping the bottom of the barrel to find a speaker for their event. The mind just reels. And then the article ends with Coulter perpetuating the stereotype of the well-to-do homosexual in trying to explain why gays should all be republicans. Just fucked up all around.
