Off to a great start on the "we're not racists!" Repugs, always reaching out to non-white, non-male voters :lol

PFAW And Allies Call On GOP Presidential Candidates To Distance Themselves From CPAC’s White Nationalist Sponsor

Today, People For the American Way, America’s Voice and ColorOfChange.org called on (http://www.pfaw.org/press-releases/2015/02/civil-rights-groups-gop-presidential-candidates-distance-yourself-cpac-s-whit) GOP presidential candidates to distance themselves from Conservative Political Action Conference’s ties to ProEnglish, a group led by white nationalist Robert Vandervoort.

As we reported last week (http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/cpac-once-again-excludes-gay-republicans-welcomes-group-led-white-nationalist), ProEnglish is sponsoring a booth in the event’s exhibit hall, which costs $4,000 (http://www.cvent.com/events/conservative-political-action-conference/custom-17-cd3fafcf240f404d9a501b40eb6ea090.aspx?ct=3f78625a-8ac0-4081-9e81-22d1e508e176&cpc=HLN7PGMB8RM&RefID=Sponsor).

ProEnglish has been allowed to sponsor the event for the past several years, despite Vandervoort’s well documented ties with white nationalist groups.

Nearly every major Republican presidential contender is scheduled to speak at the event this weekend.

Vandervoort certainly knows where to connect with white supremacists, ultra-nationalists, nativists, xenophobes.

LIVE FROM CPAC: Ben Carson unveils earth-shattering plan to defeat ISIS

Dr. Ben Carson, who in his brief career in the conservative-industrial complex has proven adept at separating right-wingers from their money (http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/political-animal-a/2014_11/ben_carsons_producers052966.php), gave the inaugural speech. Interesting factoid about Ben Carson: he’s polling in second-place nationally (http://politicalwire.com/2015/02/24/walker-leads-the-gop-pack/) for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination. Conservatives love him, even if they sometimes confuse him with the other Republican black guy. (http://www.salon.com/2015/02/25/cpacs_unfortunate_mix_up_dr_ben_carson_is_not_sen_ tim_scott/)

“We have two choices,” he said. “We can wait and see what they’re going to do and react to it. Or we can destroy them first. The mission that I would give our military is to destroy them first.”

5 Lowlights From CPAC 2015 (So Far)

Sean Hannity’s Creepy Joke

Fox News host Sean Hannity pumped up the crowd with his Friday morning speech about how liberals are stupid — his words (http://www.mediaite.com/tv/hannity-goes-after-stupid-liberals-tries-to-unite-establishment-and-tea-party-at-cpac/), not mine — but one of the jokes that he told to the “young, good-looking crowd” fell completely flat (http://www.c-span.org/video/?c4529564/hannity-cpac).
“I can look out in the crowd, I kinda have Fox X-ray vision, and I can see that some of you women, you don’t even know it yet, but you’re pregnant,” Hannity said. “It’s not your fault. It’s not his fault.”


Scott Walker’s ISIS Plan

During his speech on Thursday, Wisconsin governor Scott Walker explained how he would defeat ISIS: By crushing them like they’re kindergarten teachers.

“I want a commander-in-chief who will do everything in their power to ensure that the threats from radical Islamic terrorists do not wash up on American soil,” Walker explained. “We need a leader with that kind of confidence. If I can take on 100,000 protesters, I can do the same across the world.”


Donald Trump’s Birther Obsession

Reality TV star Donald Trump is still pretending (http://www.nationalmemo.com/5-fakest-2016-presidential-candidates/5/) that he may run for president — but his CPAC speech provided a handy reminder of how well that would go for him.

Trump’s address was well designed for an audience that has always mistrusted President Obama’s soaring rhetoric (“Common Core is bad. Bad! Second Amendment is good!” Trump declared at one point), but as usual, the Donald couldn’t resist a good birther crack.


Rick Santorum’s Awful Joke

Trump wasn’t the only CPAC speaker to try out a birther line. Former Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum tried to bring up the conspiracy with a touch of humor.
“In fact the president’s popularity is so bad around the world today that I heard this report from a source that the Kenyan government is actually developing proof that Barack Obama was actually born in America,” Santorum said.

About three people laughed.


Phil Robertson’s Strange Speech

No CPAC speech so far has been stranger than the stem-winder uncorked by Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson, who was awarded the conference’s “Andrew Breitbart Defender of the First Amendment Award.”

Robertson’s half-hour speech began as a sermon in defense of religious liberty — and then skipped the rails when he began ranting about sexually transmitted diseases.

“110 million Americans now have a sexually transmitted illness,” Robertson warned. “I don’t want you, America, to get sick. I don’t want you to become ill. I don’t want you to come down with a debilitating disease! I don’t want you to die early! You’re disease-free and she’s disease-free, you marry, you keep your sex right there. You won’t get sick from a sexually transmitted disease.”

Predictably, Robertson thinks that America’s STD problem is liberals’ fault.

“It’s the revenge of the hippies!” he raged. “Sex, drugs, and rock and roll have come back to haunt us.”
