Palin supports allowing gay rights groups to participate at a conservative convention. I don’t. This web site for instance, does not allow gay rights views to be promoted. Why should CPAC?

Because Free Republic is (rightfully) a dictatorship. This is Jim's house with Jim's rules. CPAC is a coalition of over 100 different organizations, with each group having a voice.

The CPAC convention is hosted by the American Conservative Union. They can keep gay rights groups out, just as this site does.
