Ann Coulter's Bodyguards Harrass Conservative
Lydia Cornell


Urgent CPAC report:

The MSM, Media Matters, Wonkette and Olbermann -- and whoever else you know -- needs to know about this: Just a few hours ago, my friend Dan Borchers (conservative Christian who is writing a book about Ann Coulter's "extermination speak") was bodily wrestled out of CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference) by 4 of Ann Coulter's bodyguards,



(two claimed they were CPAC security.) They staged the whole thing, followed him with a camera, cut his hand, tried to pry his name tag and credentials off from his neck, physically WRESTLED him out of the hotel, and shoved him.

His crime: asking a question of another author (Mark Smith) about Ann Coulter, and about the Paula Jones case. Borchers had spent money, bought tickets, took time off work and traveled from Maryland as he does every year, to be at CPAC. He is a lifelong Republican, a conservative military veteran, whose only crime is being morally offended by the way conservatism has been ruined by people like Coulter who indulge in hate speak. He believes it is his moral obligation to bring attention to this, and that "evil triumphs when good men do nothing."

Borchers is the most mild-mannered, humble Christian. His crime? He is guilty of being critical of the way Ann Coulter has "mainstreamed extremism" and has written articles about her. He accused her of plagiarizing her early books, and at the CPAC conference two years ago, he tried to distribute press kits calling for Coulter to stop her hate speak.

1. Nice.

True colors of her and her associates being shown for all.

"Conservative" is just a name they use to cover their tracks. If Leni Riefenstahl was still alive, she could do a documentary on these folks.

7. "If Leni Riefenstahl was still alive, she" would BE one of "these folks."

2. He's just now finding out the republican party is not conservative?

I guess some people are just stupid!

3. "mainstreamed extremism": Who's guilty of this, really?

>>>>Borchers is the most mild-mannered, humble Christian. His crime? He is guilty of being critical of the way Ann Coulter has "mainstreamed extremism" and has written articles about her.>>>>

Is it Coulter herself or the *mainstream* media that insists on treating her like a legit political analyst?

4. I wish someone would take a Taser with them to one of these RW

hatefests and hit the goons that try to evict him/her with it. I think it would be 100% self-defense given the RW's track record of assault by private citizens/body guards during these evictions. It's rarely law enforcement that does the eviction.

5. Yeah, well, that's bound to happen when the "enemy" is defined as

anyone who doesn't believe exactly the same way I do. It's why all authoritarian movements are eventually doomed to failure. Unfortunately a lot of other people have to pay a heavy price during the rise and fall.

6. So there's video?

If so, it should be on the front page.

8. Well, such things may help convince more true conservatives

that the Republican party as it now exists is not somethign they want to have anything to do with.

I have relatives, very dear people, who are conservative Christian Republicans. I can't convince them that the party they vote for is not worthy of their allegiance, but if enough conservative Christians have experiences like this and squawk about it, even my relatives might hear about it.
