Hearing what went on at CPAC (GoPride shouting down a Speaker, Straw Poll for Ron Paul, etc), and now THIS....
Ugh.
So...how do we get these people out of the TP? Detected this on a dozen forums but didn’t know it was overt at CPAC.
Sounds like CPAC should be replaced by TeaPAC, if there isn’t already such a thing.
“Grover Norquist single-handedly ushered into America’s highest levels of government Islamic supremacist leaders, subversives, the Islamic fifth column. Grover gave them unparalleled access. Why didn’t Gaffney’s revelations, and those that preceded and followed his expose, end Norquist’s influence among conservatives? Why does he still have so much power?”

But, but...he has an ‘R’ beside his name, so everything is dandy fine! And he endorses John McCain!
Until the republicans clean out their ranks, we’ll get more of the same.
GRover will be the big push behind Amnesty, as he always is, regardless of what ‘we the people’ think.
A new poll today:(But then they didn’t poll Muslims, who are the only illegal aliens Grover cares about)

Minority Advocates, Constituents Differ on Immigration
Zogby Poll Finds Wide Support for Enforcement, Lower Numbers
WASHINGTON (February 25, 2010) – While it is sometimes assumed that minorities, particularly Hispanics, favor increased immigration and legalization for illegal immigrants, a new Zogby survey finds that minority voters’ views are more complex. The poll of Hispanic, Asian-American, and African-American likely voters finds some support for legalization. But overall each of these groups prefers enforcement and for illegal immigrants to return home. Moreover, significant majorities of all three groups think that the current level of immigration is too high. These views are in sharp contrast to the leaders of most ethnic advocacy organizations, who argue for increased immigration and legalization of illegal immigrants. The survey used neutral language, avoiding such terms as “amnesty,” “illegal alien,” or “undocumented.”
The findings:
In contrast to the leadership of many ethnic advocacy groups, most members of minority groups think immigration is too high.
* Hispanics: 56 percent said it is too high; 7 percent said too low; 14 percent just right.
* Asian-Americans: 57 percent said immigration is too high; 5 percent said too low; 18 percent just right.
* African-Americans: 68 percent said it is too high; 4 percent said too low; 14 percent just right.
Most members of minority groups do not feel that illegal immigration is caused by limits on legal immigration as many ethnic advocacy groups argue; instead, members feel it’s due to a lack of enforcement.
* Hispanics: Just 20 percent said illegal immigration was caused by not letting in enough legal immigrants; 61 percent said inadequate enforcement.
* Asian-Americans: 19 percent said not enough legal immigration; 69 percent said inadequate enforcement.
* African-Americans: 16 percent said not enough legal immigration; 70 percent said inadequate enforcement.
Most members of minority groups feel that there are plenty of Americans available to fill unskilled jobs.
* Hispanics: 15 percent said legal immigration should be increased to fill unskilled jobs; 65 percent said there are plenty of Americans available to do unskilled jobs, employers just need to pay more.
* Asian-Americans: 19 percent said increase immigration; 65 percent said plenty of Americans are available.
* African-Americans: 6 percent said increase immigration; 81 percent said plenty of Americans are available.
When asked to choose between enforcement that would cause illegal immigrants in the country to go home or offering them a pathway to citizenship with conditions, most members of minority groups choose enforcement.
* Hispanics: 52 percent support enforcement to encourage illegals to go home; 34 percent support conditional legalization.
* Asian-Americans: 57 percent support enforcement; 29 percent support conditional legalization.
* African-Americans: 50 percent support enforcement; 30 percent support conditional legalization.
Discussion
This survey of minority voters shows that when it comes to the issue of legalizing illegal immigrants, these voters disagree with the leadership of many ethnic advocacy groups. Most voters want the law enforced and illegal immigrants to return to their home countries. Overall they also feel that the current level of immigration is too high. The poll specifically asks voters to put aside the issue of legal status and focus only on the numbers. Even so, most think the level of immigration is too high and very few think it is too low. Not surprisingly, when it comes to allowing more unskilled workers into the country, most Hispanic, Asian-American, and African-American voters feel there are plenty of Americans here to do such work; employers just need to pay more.
The overall findings of this poll show a significant divide between the perception that minority voters want legalization and increased legal immigration and the reality, which is that they want enforcement and less immigration. Like most Americans, minority voters are not anti-immigrant or anti-immigration per se. Moreover there is not unanimity on the immigration issue among or between groups. What the poll does show is that, like most Americans, Hispanic, Asian, and black voters want the law enforced and illegal immigrants to go home. Moreover, they think the overall level of immigration is too high. When some leaders of minority groups speak on immigration and argue for legalization, they are merely offering their own personal opinions, not necessarily those of voters in these communities.
Why have such a misleading headline?
And then in her statement she says ‘The truth of the matter is that our event was at CPAC, but it was an independent event, not a CPAC event’
No, I haven’t read it.
Thanks for pinging me.
Thank you for posting this.
Yes, and I may have been the same restaurant with a Communist one time. This kind of guilt by association stuff is getting old.
guilt by association
... so just stick your head back in the sand and ignore the FACT that al-Grover took the Hamas crowd INTO the White House!
That’s not only an association, there bubba...
but now go back to sleep, nothing to see here, move along...
ymmv
Are you calling Geller or Kwiatkowski a bigot? Kwiatkowski has tried to deligitimize her opponents by calling them members of the Israel Lobby.
Huh....I’m not calling them bigots which is about the worst thing you can call someone. Calling someone a member of the Israel lobby (which really does exist and is quite public) is not the same thing. Using the anti-semite and racist words so liberally, as the author of this article does, only trivializes the,.
WHY are these people called conservatives? False flag!

________He had the trust, for some reason, of GEORGE BUSH.

You can thank KARL ROVE for that. He brought Grover and Abramoff into the white house.
CLASSIC ARTICE you missed!
Grover Norquist: ‘Field Marshal’ of the Bush Plan
[snips]”I started out as a right-winger, and when I retire I want to be a squishy middle-of-the-roader,” he jokes, chortling at the thought. Grover Norquist
To a significant degree, George W. Bush owes his election to Norquist, whose early support was crucial in lining up the right behind the Texas governor’s campaign. And if Bush, born in the Ivy League haunts of the Eastern Establishment but raised in the conservative oilfields of West Texas, has managed to forge a governing coalition that includes both Big Business and the far right, Norquist’s skillful ability to hold that coalition together is a big reason why.
In November 1998, immediately after Bush was re-elected as Texas governor and began eyeing the White House, Norquist traveled to Austin to meet Bush and Karl Rove, Bush’s political guru, whom Norquist has known for two decades. Norquist came away convinced that Bush, if not an authentic conservative, was at least the right’s best hope.
Norquist, upon returning to Washington, started spreading the word that the right ought to line up behind Bush.
According to several sources, Norquist’s support was decisive in swinging the bulk of the conservative movement into Bush’s camp by early 1999. “It’s not disputable,” says Fund of the Wall Street Journal. Then, when Bush ran into trouble battling Senator John McCain of Arizona, Norquist mobilized the right against McCain in the early primaries, especially in South Carolina—and, in the process, cemented his ties to Bush and Rove.
When pressed, Norquist admits that he has no idea whether Bush is truly committed or just playing politics—and that, in the end, it doesn’t matter. “Is Bush, or Rove for that matter, a true believer?” he asks. “I don’t know.....”

What did we fight WWII for? And 'Nam? Not for these SOBs.
Yet Rove was so popular with republicans!
Ron Paul is an anti-Semite. Tried and true. He makes common cause with the Islamists, who are our enemy.
Using the anti-semite and racist words so liberally, as the author of this article does, only trivializes the,.
Lay with dogs, wake up with fleas. Raimondo is a deranged hater of Israel along with Paul Craig Roberts and many others on Antiwar.com. Kwiatkowski likes to question the loyalty of her opponents, a common antisemitic trope. Res Ipsa Loqator.
Norquist and Khan support Islamist infiltration, support Islamic conquest by migration and conversion (Dawa), oppose actions to prevent nuclear proliferation in the region. The effects, even if I am charitable enough to believe them unintended, are to endanger the lives of all Israelis, and if you look at what happens in Europe, of all American Jews and eventually gentiles too.
