(CPAC is mostly a collection of dimwits, dingbats and the dangerous.)

Conference organizers announced they’d had to cancel one of their own scheduled speakers.

“We have just learned that someone we invited to CPAC has expressed reprehensible views that have no home with our conference or our organization,” CPAC organizers tweeted Monday, referring to right-wing social media figure Young Pharaoh. Media Matters had surfaced deeply anti-Semitic tweets he made calling Judaism a “complete lie” and “made up for political gain.”

Here are a number of others that need to be cancelled:
One of CPAC’s featured speakers on Friday is Alex Berenson, a spy novelist and former New York Times reporter who has found an attention-getting grift in downplaying the severity of the c****av***s, spreading dangerous disinformation during appearances on Fox News and across right-wing media. Berenson will be speaking on a CPAC panel about the FIrst Amendment.

A short time later on Friday, Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.) will speak on a panel about “Protecting E******ns” — one of seven panels at the conference aimed at perpetuating Trump’s lie that the e******n he lost was stolen. Brooks is facing a censure in the House of Representatives for his role in the deadly J*** 6 i**********n. He gave a fiery speech to the MAGA mob before they stormed the Capitol building, imploring his fellow “patriots” to start “taking down names and kicking ass.”

Arizona Reps. Paul Gosar and Andy Biggs, both of whom helped organize the J*** 6 “Stop the Steal” rally, are CPAC panelists this year.

Gosar has ties to the far-right m*****a O**h K****rs, whose members were deeply involved in the storming of the Capitol. The leader of an Arizona chapter recently claimed Gosar once told O**h K****rs that America was already in a civil war. “We just haven’t started shooting yet,” Gosar allegedly said. (The congressman has yet to respond to this claim.)

Gosar’s extremist resume is long. He once traveled to London to speak at a rally in support of a jailed anti-Muslim activist; he went to Nevada to support far-right m*****amen in an armed standoff with federal authorities; and he’s posed for a photo with a member of the neo-f*****t P***d B**s, another group with a large presence at the i**********n. Gosar will be speaking on a CPAC panel Saturday called “Sell Outs: The Devaluing of American Citizenship.”

Biggs, the other Arizona congressman, has spoken at events hosted by multiple extremist groups, including a 2015 gathering of the O**h K****rs where a member called for h*****g the late Sen. John McCain. Biggs will speak on a panel Friday about the Second Amendment.

Joining him on that panel is Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.), the pistol-carrying freshman lawmaker with a history of associating with far-right m*****a groups, including the Three Percenters, another organization implicated in the i**********n. (“I am the m*****a,” Boebert tweeted last year.) Boebert also supports the Q***n conspiracy movement, which believes there’s a g*******t cabal of p*******es, many of them Democrats, waging war against Trump. Many Q***n faithful participated in the i**********n on J*** 6.

“Today is 1776,” Boebert tweeted that morning before the storming of the Capitol, a reference to the Revolutionary War.

Elsewhere at CPAC, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) will appear on two panels, one about foreign policy and another titled “The Left’s Assault On A Free People: How Government, Big Tech, and Media Are Colluding to Deprive Us Of Our Humanity.”

Gaetz has used the P***d B**s as security at a political event; once invited a notorious Holocaust-denying far-right troll to be his guest at the State of the Union; and has appeared as a guest on InfoWars, the deranged far-right conspiracy website.

One of Gaetz’s staffers cheered on the i**********nists as they stormed the Capitol on J*** 6. Gaetz himself attempted — like many other GOP officials — to falsely blame the violence that day on “a****a,” or l*****t-anti-f*****ts.

Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-N.C.), the youngest member of Congress at just 25 years old, will be on a CPAC panel about college tuition. Cawthorn spoke at the J*** 6 rally that led to the i**********n. He was on the House floor when the mob of Trump supporters — the same ones he helped incite — stormed the Capitol building. “Fortunately, I was armed, so we would have been able to protect ourselves,” he told a reporter afterwards.

Cawthorn came into office amid a flurry of controversy last month. (“Cry more, libs,” he wrote after winning his e******n.) His campaign had created a website that criticized a North Carolina reporter for working for “non-white males, like [Sen.] Cory Booker, who aims to ruin white males running for office.”

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) — who raised a fist in support of the MAGA mob on J*** 6 before they stormed the Capitol — will give a speech on the main CPAC stage on Friday.

Other extremists at CPAC this year — who are not elected officials — include James O’Keefe, founder of the fraudulent far-right media outfit Project Veritas. O’Keefe, who has spent the last year releasing selectively edited videos in an attempt at delegitimizing mail-in b****ting, and who is closely affiliated with the P***d B**s, will be giving a speech on the main stage.

Scott Presler, who used to work for the anti-Muslim h**e group Act for America, will appear on a panel called “Front Porch Politics: How To Talk About Issues Without Starting A Back Alley Brawl.” Presler was one of the foremost “Stop The Steal” rally organizers and called the J*** 6 i**********n in Washington, which he attended, the “largest civil rights protest in American history.” He says he did not breach the Capitol property itself.

Right-wing radio host Wayne Dupree — who once claimed that the 2015 Sandy Hook massacre was a “h**x” and that the parents of the young victims were “crisis actors” — will be on a panel called “Tolerance Reimagined: The Angry Mob and Violence In Our Streets.”

And so comes the challenges of the freedom of speech. I guess lies should always be fought with t***h, arguing someone's case against Judaism would be a difficult one as it's a religion and based in belief and not fact, but most other topics can be refuted with t***hs, best done if possible at the same time as in a debate and addressing the very issues and comments stated, though this rarely is possible. Unfortunately when one side has more media exposure they do get the upper hand. I would say in a great sense it's time to bring back suits for slander, the scope may even have to be widened.

But the accusations and implications that floods the media now needs to be addressed and with consequential acts or nothing will change or improve.

The J****** 6th i**********n was the Cheeto Faced S**tgibbon’s Kristallnacht. Fortunately it was crushed and his failed turd reich brought to an end. All that is left now is hunting down the guilty and the trials as Biden rebuilds our nation and begins washing Trumps stain off of our national reputation.

Cancel culture needs to be canceled nothing but a bunch of crazies

crazylibertarian Loc: Florida by way of New York & Rhode Island

OPP should cancel you. Things in this venue would be vastly improved. Under your veneer is a heart of h**e. This is just another pack of lies and distortions that the Left is permitted.

crazylibertarian Loc: Florida by way of New York & Rhode Island

I agree. He's nothing but another heart-filled-of-h**e liberal. I don't even know why I still respond to him U his lowlife ilk like Kevyn. They get me so riled with their contempt that oozes from their every work. CheetoFaced S**tGibbon? Horrible.

Liberty Tree

I just ignore them. They only post to get the true lovers of America fired up. The best defense is to just let them post to the wind.

Cuda2020

Some of us agree with him, this isn't a full on right leaning forum yet, keep trying though, and why are you both on his thread talking s**te and just spewing your hatred for him? More hypocrisy from the right.

archie bunker Loc: Texas

It's not a full l*****t site yet either. Some of us don't agree with him.
We are still allowed to disagree with you l*****ts in spite of your efforts to have any, and all disagreement silenced.

That is what the original post is about. Silencing disagreement, in my opinion.

Is that why you paid so much attention to it?

Full l*****t, that's funny, the right out numbers the left on here by like what 10 to1? My efforts? Hmmm I didn't realize I was doing that. Disagree away, things work out much better without exchanging insults, JMHO
