Valin Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Townhall/Tipsheet: Katie Pavlich 2/9/12 Believe it or not, 2012 is here, and today kicks off the 39th annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) at the Marriot Wardmam Hotel in Washington D.C. Over the next three days, conservative leaders from all over the country, grassroots activists, filmmakers, bloggers, college students, writers, reporters, politicians and more, will express and discuss ideas and formulate strategies about how to replace President Obama in November, while taking the country back to its conservative founding. CPAC is the largest annual gathering of conservatives. Last year, CPAC attendance hit a record of 10,000. This year, it is expected 11,000 people will attend the conference, proving conservatism and the battle for small government ideas are alive and well. This year's schedule is packed with hard hitting speakers like Allen West, Sarah Palin, Reince Priebus, Scott Walker, Rand Paul, Michele Bachmann, Andrew Breitbart, Herman Cain, Bobby Jindal, Laura Ingraham and more. GOP presidential candidates will also speak at the event, surely in an effort to court conservative voters as the battle for the nomination rages on. CPAC is also an excellent opportunity for GOP candidates to speak with youth voters. (Snip) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rheo Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Occupiers, New Black Panther Members and Union Thugs Prepare To Assault Conservative Conference The “Occupy DC” protest group is planning to disrupt the upcoming Conservative Political Action Conference using a range of potentially illegal tactics that could even include violence against participants. Speakers will be physically assaulted, not just verbally confronted…Two Occupiers, who the source also identified as members of the New Black Panther Party, “said they would be disappointed if they didn’t get arrested and planned to ‘make it count.” The source quoted another protester as saying, “Mitt Romney has Secret Service now, but Newt Gingrich and Andrew Breitbart don’t,” seemingly suggesting that the latter two would not be as heavily guarded. An attendee of the Thursday meeting, who claimed to handle relations with labor organizations, said the AFL-CIO had booked rooms for Occupiers at the Marriott hotel, with the intention of allowing them to bypass security measures at the door.

Rheo Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Mitch McConnell takes aim at ‘liberal thugs’ Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell plans to launch a fierce attack on the Obama administration and congressional Democrats, calling out “liberal thugs” for intimidating their opponents in the name of political expediency. In a biting attack aimed at throwing red meat to a restive conservative base, McConnell will tell the Conservative Political Action Conference on Thursday that the “liberal playbook” boils down to this: “Pick a target, freeze it, personalize it, and then polarize it.” “But rarely have we seen those tactics employed with the kind of zeal that we see today. This White House and its lieutenants have made an art form out of the orchestrated attack,” the Kentucky Republican will say, according to excerpts provided to POLITICO. “They’ve shown they’ll go after anybody or any organization that they think is standing in their way.” Without singling him out directly by name, McConnell will point the finger at New York Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer for seeking public hearings into super PACs, saying he’s calling “law-abiding citizens before a congressional panel just because they happen to support causes that he doesn’t.” He plans to add: “You know the drill. Expose these folks to public view, release the liberal thugs on them, and then hope the public pressure or the unwanted attention scares them from supporting similar causes down the road.” In his remarks, McConnell will say that the government uses resources “to intimidate or silence” their critics,” and then he plans to renew his attacks on the administration’s controversial policies calling for faith-based organizations to offer contraceptives and other birth-control devices. “These things demean the office of the president,” he will say. “They corrode our democracy. And they need to stop.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
