[Peace-discuss] AOTA invites you to Spot the Loony!

[E.Wayne Johnson]

There is a wide variety of people who attend and participate actively in 
CPAC.  It is not at all a homogeneous monolith.

I dont know why they would turn away Gaffney, since they allowed uber-neocon 
John Bolton, Newty the Gingrinch, et al. who have essentially the same "War 
is Peace" message as Brother Barack.  I watched part of the Romulan's speech 
on American Exceptionalism and just about had to barf.  Someone must have 
written one clever joke for him although the rest of his jokes were 
clunkers.  Ann [Hang 'em High Haman] Coulter called for jailing more 
journalists.   There was plenty to poke fun at.

There  are many booths and vendors at CPAC who have books and literature, 
tapes, DVDs to sell and give away sort of like any trade show, and they run 
the gamut from paleo-con to outright anarchist to libertarian to nuke'm 
neocons to some genuinely well-meaning Christian charities and what-not.

This year there were people actively passing out anti-Ron Paul literature in 
the hallways, but they did let both Pauls speak, and Ron Paul won the 
presidential straw poll, beating out the Romulans for the second year in a 
row.
