Earlier this month, conservative gay rights group GOProud announced that it would be a co-sponsor of this year’s Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). But the group’s inclusion as a co-sponsor has led to a backlash from the anti-gay right, some of whom are threatening to boycott CPAC if GOProud’s sponsorship isn’t removed. CPAC director Lisa De Pasquale told Hot Air last week that she was “satisfied” that GOProud “do not represent a ‘radical leftist agenda’ and thus “should not be rejected as a CPAC cosponsor.” But David Keene, the head of CPAC’s main organizing group, tried to calm the potential boycott by using a different tactic. In an e-mail to a right-wing radio host, Keene promised that GOProud would not have a speaking spot and that gay rights issues would not be “open to debate”:

They just want to be allowed to join their fellow teabaggers.

From the looks of things, THIS IS his/her job. Nonstop nonsense around the clock... Probably collecting welfare and that's all there is to do.
This is where the Republican party needs to "open up the tent" a little more. Preventing these people from speaking is only hurting the Republican party, not helping it. They need to quit listening to the far, far right of the party.

What if the shoe were on the other foot? Wouldnt it annoy you if a conservative group were not allowed to speak at a conference they had cosponsored?

Opening the tent poses problems since that chases away the extreme right wing. Same thing for Dems - open the tent up too much and the far left will leave you when blue dogs start to become influential.
