For months, the family values wing of the Republican Party has been protesting
the inclusion of GOProud, a right-wing gay group, at this year's
Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). You won't hear any
protesting, however, from conservative media mogul Andrew Breitbart.
"We're
going to have a big ol' gay party," he said on a radio show Wednesday.
Breitbart says gays deserve a place within the Republican Party and he's
been "offended" by efforts to exclude them. Therefore, he's throwing an
80's-themed gay party to welcome them on board.
If this sounds like uncharacteristic behavior for Breitbart, his additional remarks should clear things up:
I am not endorsing gay marriage, I'm not endorsing Don't Ask, Don't Tell. I will be the harshest critic of the activist gay left, who I fear more than al-Qaida. But for these people not to exist in a two-party system, for you to tell them they're not welcome in the big tent, I have a huge problem with that and I'm going to indulge in my all '80s Depeche Mode, Cure, New Order fetish and we're going to have a big 'ol gay party at CPAC.Al-Qaida—really? Here's some Depeche Mode to cool down some of that hot talk:
