What I really don’t understand is this need to throw aside good people who are on our side because we are unhappy with one issue. I have supported a lot of politicians and none were ever right on every issue. I have had to compromise. Some are better than others, and if they are right on the most important things, and right on more things than other people, I will support them. Here we are talking about not even a politician but a pundit/commentator, and I will readily concede that though not perfect she is probably right more than she is wrong. She also seems to be right on the big issues. So, what is gained by making her a pariah? And not for a wrong position on an issue even, but for merely talking at an event. I really just don’t get it.

Who is trying to make her a pariah? Ann is way too popular and, as you say, way too right on many issues. Nobody is trying to ostracize her. But when she, or any other conservative, is wrong, should she not be questioned, or disagreed with, simply because she is popular? In fact, it is her popularity that makes this whole thing an issue, because she lends much weight to whichever groups she embraces.

How is uninviting her to a meeting that she claims now she was never invited to in the first place making her a pariah?

She's the one who flipped out. She's the one who has become unhinged over this.

I actually have no problem with her speaking at the faggot-con... but I also have no problem with Farah uninviting her to his own shindig.

Why did she have to get so freaking emotional about it?

She doesn't get emotional over the thousands of travesties she reports on that the liberals are doing to America... but she gets emotional over this?

Unhinged.

Good point! I don’t agree with everything Farah or Ann say, but they are both with us far more often than they’re against us. That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t discuss whether a particular act is right or wrong, but it does mean we shouldn’t write either of them off. They’re both allies.

You mean the fiscally "conservative" Log Cabin RINOs who - per the evidence of the imploding, systemically corrupted, and demoralized financial infrastructure -  weren't?
[because we are unhappy with one issue.]
The issue is demoralization and ideological subversion.
 
"What it basically means is: to change the perception of reality of every American that despite of the abundance of information no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interest of defending themselves, their families, their community, and their country.
 
It's a great brainwashing process which goes very slow and is divided into four basic stages.
 
The first stage being "demoralization"...."
