TPM has a story up about a panel on CPAC called "Ground Zero Mosuq: Second Wave of the 9/11 attacks."
At the Conservative Political Action Conference next month -- the one decried as being "infiltrated" by the Muslim Brotherhood by the likes of sharia alarmist Frank Gaffney -- an event will be held titled, "The Ground Zero Mosque: The Second Wave of the 9/11 Attacks."I think we can note that even conservatives think that Pam Geller's brand is a toxic form of bigotry and she's dabbled in birtherism and she spread Malcom X was Obama's father smear. Here's the thing, a series of Republican presidential candidates are about to speak at CPAC. You expect partisanship at events like this but to conflate an Islamic center in Manhattan to a repeat of the 9/11 attacks is not only extreme but offensive. But this is what Haley Barbour, Mitch Daniels, Tim Pawlenty, Mike Pence, Mitt Romney and John Thune have signed up for in February. So much for Republican and the new tone.
The event is a movie premiere, hosted by mosque opposition leader Pamela Geller and her partner Robert Spencer. It will be followed by "a question and action and strategy session on how to stop the Islamic supremacist mega-mosque at Ground Zero."
