NOM & Liberty Counsel Join CPAC 2011 Boycott Threat Over GOProud's Presence

GOProud's presence at this year's CPAC conference ruffled a few feathers among the teabaggers, who as we saw yesterday largely regard GOProud as an "inauthentic" Tea Party group. Unswayed, GOProud has signed on to be a part of CPAC 2011. In response, today the Liberty Counsel and NOM signed on with a coalition of conservative groups who have announced their withdrawal from next year's conference if GOProud remains a part of it.

Below is an an excerpt from the "line in the sand" letter from the American Principles Project, the sponsors of the boycott.

1. Is this how we take 'em out? By joining up?
Actually, it kind of mirrors my own recent experience: agreeing with and amplifying the crazy of friends and family members who parrot RW/Teahadist talking points.

2. But NOM isn't against gays, just gay marriage?
RIIIIIGHT. They hate gays and use the marriage issue as a cover.

Maggie Gallagher has blood on her hands. She's the Lady MacBeth of NOM.

3. When Are the GOProuders Going to Learn That...
they are not wanted. Maybe it's time to quit voting their wallets (the main reason most of these nimrods are Rethuglican).
