REGARDING ANN COULTER: Is CPAC Director Lisa De Pasquale Delusional? By Daniel Borchers

Or is she just so besotted with Ann Coulter that linear thinking and common decency elude her?

Just this year, CPAC claimed not to have invited Ann Coulter to speak, but CPAC LIED – it did.

Having refused to allow me to register for CPAC 2008, Lisa De Pasquale, CPAC Director, is now refusing to refund my registration fee – claiming I actually attended CPAC!

According to De Pasquale … Coulter wasn’t invited to speak … but Coulter spoke. I wasn’t allowed to attend … but I attended.

Is the American Conservative Union so hard up for money that it has to steal $125?

Is De Pasquale so petty and vindictive as to threaten me with physical expulsion from the conference, claim to have refunded my registration fee, then, after the conference, refuse to refund that fee claiming I attended? Did she forget that she threatened to have me removed from the conference if I attempted to attend?

De Pasquale’s vendetta against me began years ago, when I distributed a Coulter-critical press kit at CPAC 2002. Since then, De Pasquale has been Coulter’s attack dog, doing her mistress’s bidding.

In 2006, De Pasquale published a defamatory essay against me on Human Events Online. ANN COULTER'S PLAGIARISM It was quickly removed once its voluminous errors were brought to the attention of the Editor.

At CPAC 2007, De Pasquale conspired to have me illegally expelled from that year’s conference, ANN COULTER'S CRIMINAL INTENT resulting in a physical assault. CPAC Obstruction of Justice CPAC obstructed justice during the ensuing police investigation.

De Pasquale’s most recent episode proves just how delusional she is. But then, that only makes sense, as she has been Coulter’s puppet for years, defending Coulter’s most asinine words and deeds. De Pasquale’s website The Lotus Blog provides insight into her psyche. Seeking to be perceived as beautiful on the outside, Lazy Monday De Pasquale has proven herself ugly on the inside.

Here is my correspondence with CPAC this year:





Notes from Lydia Cornell

Who is Lisa De Pasquale? A Coulter Wannabe?
Excerpts from her interview with Ann Coulter:

De Pasquale: "Following our first interview, I received an e-mail claiming I was “just as vicious as Ann Coulter.” I want this on my resume, byline and maybe tattooed on my forehead. How does liberals' hysterical reaction to (your book) Godless invigorate you?

Coulter: You know you're doing something right when you've reduced hordes of liberals to blind, sputtering rage. When I publish a book that doesn't enrage the left, that's when I'll start worrying.

De Pasquale: What question do you wish interviewers would ask you?

Coulter: What's Al Franken really like?

De Pasquale: What's Al Franken really like?

Coulter: He's an arrogant, ill-mannered, mean-spirited, frog-like lying bitch. And those are his good points.

De Pasquale: Each year at events like Sean Hannity's Freedom Concert and my organization's Conservative Political Action Conference, you're treated like a rock star by thousands and thousands of people. How do your fans inspire you to continue writing?

Coulter: By treating me like a rock star at events like the Freedom Concerts, and by making my books No. 1 on the New York Times bestsellers' lists.

Ann Coulter – in Desperation – Plugs Her New Book
By Daniel Borchers

Ann Coulter exceeded expectations at this year’s Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), the nation’s largest annual gathering of conservatives. Coulter’s potty mouth once again scandalized the conference, upstaging presidential candidates and political leaders alike. Coulter’s rabid rhetoric took many by surprise as she said:

“I was going to have a few comments on the other Democratic presidential candidate ,John Edwards, but it turns out that you have to go into rehab if you use the word ‘faggot,’ so [gasps, laughter, applause] so I’m kind of at an impasse, can’t really talk about Edwards.” – Ann Coulter, CPAC, 3/2/07

Every year, Coulter’s vicious words overshadow the theme and tone of CPAC, but this time Coulter personally felt the heat for her venomous folly. At least 8 newspapers have dropped Coulter’s syndicated column, her website lost advertising revenue, and “At last count 43 conservative bloggers have written an open letter protesting the keynote speech.”

To prevent her career from totally bottoming out, the October release of Coulter’s sixth book was promptly announced. Will her efforts at damage control, sans apology, actually work? Cynicism suggests, yes.

King David poignantly asked, “Why do the wicked prosper?” The psalmist concluded that their present pleasures are fleeting and hat the wicked will have their eternal punishment.

Did I say “wicked?” Assuredly so.

Consider the willful evil originating in Ann Coulter’s heart and expressed in her words and behavior. Coulter’s words are carefully-crafted to inflict the greatest harm and achieve the deepest response. Jesus so perceptively said, “For out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.” Out of Coulter’s mouth comes abusive language, character assassination and elimination rhetoric – yes, death threats!

Not content to sully a crème-de-la-crème conference comprised of genuine conservatives and grassroots activists, the very next day Coulter besmirched Christians and even Jesus Christ Himself by repeating her juvenile “joke” at a Reclaiming America for Christ Conference in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.

“I spoke at CPAC yesterday … and I said I was going to also have a few remarks about the other Democratic presidential candidate, John Edwards, but apparently you have to go to rehab if you use the word ‘faggot.’” – Ann Coulter, RAC, 3/3/07

Coulter values clearly differ from those sponsoring this event. According to her own peculiar moral compass, using the F-word must be the best approach to “reclaim” America for Christ. Somehow, I can’t envision Jesus saying that word.

But Coulter even surpassed herself, practically advocating the assassination of abortionists:

“Those few abortionists were shot, or, depending on your point of view, had a procedure with a rifle performed on them. I’m not justifying it, but I do understand how it happened.” – Ann Coulter, RAC, 3/3/07 (See video/transcript at Raw Story)

These conference organizers were not amused. Their conference summary omitted any mention of Coulter and their series of conference tapes excludes her entire session, which was to be the capstone and climax of the conference. (See also a letter from Americans United for the Separation of Church and State.)

Two nights later, an unrepentant Coulter defied her detractors to destroy her career!

“I mean, this is the same thing we go through every six months. I say something, the same people become hysterical, and that's the end of it. … This is about my 17th allegedly career-ending moment. … That's what has happened every other time for about a decade now.” – Ann Coulter, Hannity & Colmes, 3/5/07

Consider this important question: Has Coulter ever apologized for anything? Most Christians understand that repentance is a crucial aspect of the Christian life, a core Christian behavior. Repentance is, in fact, the entryway into the Christian life. But other core Christian concepts, such as truth and love, are just as foreign to Coulter as repentance.

Ironically, at the behest of CPAC Director Lisa De Pasquale (one of Coulter’s publicists),CPAC Chief of Security Floyd Resnick (also Coulter’s personal bodyguard) spearheaded a group of people who forcibly expelled me from CPAC just hours before Coulter’s offensive remarks. Why? Because of my previous criticism of their beloved polemicist. (See “A Call for Character.”)

CPAC expelled the wrong conservative.
