The Ugly Side of CPAC
Campus Progress actually does a pretty good job covering CPAC — if you’re one who enjoys sensationalism and deception.
Meanwhile, The American Mind, Hot Air and Little Green Footballs have details on Mike Stark’s bizarre encounter with Michelle Malkin.
Stark wasn’t the only weirdo at CPAC. Daniel Borchers had to be “wrestled out of CPAC.”
I thought the Campus Progress coverage was actually admirably analytical and had more of an attention to detail than you’d expect from your typical hateful leftist bloggers.

Yeah, I agree with Robert — for a bunch of defeat-o-crats, the CampusProgress kids were pretty well-behaved. I just don’t understand why they didn’t kill themselves when they realized how amazing the real patriotic americans who came to CPAC were.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME? do you believe the crap that they are saying?
but they did get some pretty impressive pictures - I tried to get a picture with Delay, but with much dismay, I went home without it.

Yeah but check out that picture of Laura Ingraham. They can blog all they want about conservative girls all looking the same, but Ingraham’s a total fox! I bet these doofuses are hard-pressed to find liberal girls who look that good…

Frankly, I’m just jealous. I don’t see why they got to have all those awesome photo ops. I would’ve given an arm just to touch Michelle Malkin. Or John Bolton.
Besides, the analysis was totally on at some points, even if it was mocking. It was kind of absurd to have The American Protectionist right next to the Libertarian Table (couldn’t someone have planned that one out better?), the attendance at panels was really low during book-signings, and the video games (excepting the NASCAR simulator - that, by bipartisan consensus, was the coolest thing ever) were kind of juvenile.

At least the CP kids went to and reported on the speaker panels, instead of defining the entire conference by Ann Coulter’s f-bomb, which is what the rest of the lefty blogosphere is doing.
