On October 19-21 in Washington, D.C. a real motley crew of the far-right will gather at the Hilton Washington to wring their hands and attempt to bolster the sagging hypocritical movement.
The Values Voters Summit/Washington Briefing 2007 is sponsored by the heavy hitters — Family Research Council, Focus on the Anus Family Action, failed presidential candidate Gary Bauer's American Values, Harry Jackson's High Impact Leadership Coalition and the Alliance Defense Fund.
Unbelievably (oh why am I surprised any more), almost all of the GOP clown car is going to bow down before these far-right fringers. Take a look at this speakers' list: Dr. Ted Baehr, Gary Bauer, Dr. Bill Bennett, Rep. Marsha Blackburn, Ken Blackwell, Myrna Blyth, Judge Robert Bork, Sen. Sam Brownback, Chuck Colson, Jim Daly, Dr. James Dobson, John Fund, Frank Gaffney, Newt Gingrich, Rudy Giuliani, Sean Hannity, Roger Hedgecock, Gov. Mike Huckabee, Rep. Duncan Hunter, Bishop Harry Jackson, Dr. Richard Land, Rabbi Daniel Lapin, Mark Levin, Rich Lowry, Sen. John McCain, Ed Meese, Star Parker, Rep. Ron Paul, Father Frank Pavone, Tony Perkins, Robert Rector, Gov. Mitt Romney, Sen. Rick Santorum, Phyllis Schlafly, Alan Sears, Ben Stein, Rep. Tom Tancredo, Fred Thompson, Jim Wallis, Paul Weyrich.
If you cough up $200, you can purchase the Patriot Package — that gets you a Briefing and Exhibits Pass, and tickets to the Faith, Family & Freedom Gala Dinner honoring Daddy D on Saturday Evening (black-tie optional).
You'll definitely want to attend some of the breakout sessions. I wish I could be there to take in the batsh*t wingnuttery myself. For those of you who haven't received your copy, it looks like there's an opportunity to learn about The Impact of the Homosexual Agenda from former Concerned Woman Bob Knight and Peter Sprigg of the Family Research Council.
See the offerings after the jump.

I take it back. I’m going for a walk. The pathological lack of empathy these people have is depressing, I’ve known former IRA members and Santa Dominican drug cartel enforcers that seem like Gandhi next these punks, Its amazing the sense of entitlement these nuts have. They’re the kind of people who demand that everyone say grace before a meal, and don’t listen to a word of what they recite. You can’t treat savages as if they’re civilized people. And may I point out the anti-abortion perspective of all this http://lefarkins.blogspot.com/2007/10/purge.html
Sorry Pam for bum-rushing your thread
>>Christian Students, The University of Babylon, and the Firery Furnace: Surviving and Thriving in America’s Most Repressive Atmosphere
They should rename that course: How to get the degree you need for that high-paying job without the threat of ever thinking for yourself.
it’s an all star cavalcade of WINGNUTTERY!
holy crap -shouldn’t that amount of repressed psychosexual craziness just cause a black hole to form where the hotel was? 0.o
Wait! I’m confused. Is the double-threat to our national security illegal immigration or radical Islam? How will I know how to hate if they don’t spell it out for me?
Other day I looked up the biblical thing which decried that publicly prayerful lot.
Here, 2 samples:
What I didn’t know is that this is the or major source for the very word…
‘Hypocrite’
Shockingly enough, I wasn’t invited. Perhaps if our hostess would flame some of my original articles, they’d notice me.
“Shockingly enough, I wasn’t invited. Perhaps if our hostess would flame some of my original articles, they’d notice me.”
Dana, no offense meant, but even if you were high-profile enough to be considered, you’re probably too Catholic for the fundies who run these kinds of things.
(You know, “Whore of Babylon” and all that…)
Danae Dobson, Author and Daughter of Dr. James Dobson
Why would Dr. James Dobson, Christian extrordinaire, name his child after the mother of Perseus by Zeus? Not only a mate of a pagan god, but impregnated in one of the most humorous - to modern eyes - episodes in Greek mythology: the golden shower!
You guys think I should try to get a press pass?
Mr Ess, you missed these two, both Roman Catholic, who were listed above:
I still think I have a shot!
Perhaps Daddy D has other fetishes besides spanking and dog abuse.
“I still think I have a shot!”
Good luck with that…
>>Wait! I’m confused. Is the double-threat to our national security illegal immigration or radical Islam?
Illegal immigration makes one.
Radical Islam makes two.
Hence ‘double threat’.
And yet all those presidential wannabe ‘Pubs refused the invitations of any and all minority folks to come and speak to them…but I see at least 7 of them will be there for this.
I so hope the Dems get the intestinal fortitude to USE that in 08.
Dream big, Dana. Dream big.
and has_te? that is a bible quote that every megachurch pastor and pontificator should be asked if they remember.
I always dream big; what’s the utility in dreaming small?
More histrionic persecution complex than a room full of stereotypic ethnic mothers!
More projection than a film festival!
Ay yi yi!
Oh, hey Dana, good luck - do report back now, yall hear?
So all these psychos are going to be in one big convention center, all at the same time?
Damn, I wish violence were the answer. I would SO be looking for a smart bomb.
But of course that’s wrong. And that would turn them all into martyrs, so in exchange for the number of men, women and children who have died from the anti-condom, anti-family, anti-health care, anti-science, anti-woman, anti-peace, anti-reality policies these people espouse, I say we just lock them in there for the next 10 years an dbury the place in sand. They’re really getting off quite easy. (And I don’t mean that in a Larry Craig-Ted Haggard sort of way.)
Deep6, if we buried the place in sand, do you really think they would even notice? I think you’d just create one giant wingnut comfort zone, as that’s where their heads are at already (if one is to state it charitably).
Matthew 6:5-6
Can we put this on a bunch of signs in black on white and start holding them up at sporting events? Wear it on T-shirts outside certain venues? Paint it on underpasses?
I wonder what the reaction would be?
Danae Dobson, Author and Daughter of Dr. James Dobson
Why would Dr. James Dobson, Christian extrordinaire, name his child after the mother of Perseus by Zeus
The registrar misheard.
“Dr Dobson, what is your daughter’s name?”
“Dunno.”
Okay, listen up, people. We’re gonna buy passes to this thing and have some fun.
1. Get a bunch of ovums and sperms from a local fertility clinic. Pair them off in Petri dishes. When Jim Dobson comes rushing over, throw lighter fluid in the dishes and light it and yell “OOPS! I’M A MURDERER! HA HA HA HA.” Then thumb your nose and make a big farting noise.
2. Tell them we’re outside stoning an adulteress and see how many show up. (Use a fake adulteress.)
3. Come dressed as a rotted corpse and yell “Hi, I’m Terri Schiavo!” Then sit down and have bad table manners, reaching for food, etc.
Jim Wallis? Argh. Hope he comes to regret it. Ron Paul too, despite great xenophobia credentials, is likely to find himself at odds with a number of these people’s other pet issues.
You’re right of course, Ms Kate, but assuming they did figure out they were trapped in there, I think the bigger question is who would turn cannibal first? My money’s on Gary Bauer. I bet Dobson would start the man-love within the first week. Romney would spend his days in the bathroom. Schlafly would probably take command and try to bring order but just end up being the dictator of the cave.
What, Michelle Malkin won’t be a speaker on illegal immigration?
I wonder if Max Blumenthal will be there to get some wingnuts on film.
damn.
wish i could attend the “impact of the homosexual AGENDA” session.
wonder if mark foley or larry craig will be there?
