Coulter Foe Farah goes on gay-themed radio shows to fault conservatives for reaching out to gay conservatives

August 25, 2010 by B. Daniel Blatt

It would happen on a day I’m going through the most tedious part of dissertation writing — doing the final edits (including drafting the “Works Cited” page) of a chapter — while having to do a pile of laundry, that all this news breaks relevant to our blog.

First, the loopy editor of World Net Daily goes on a gay-themed radio shows to “blast Ann Coulter for speaking to gay conservatives“:

Farah appeared on two radio shows that are hosted by gay talk show personalities this week to blast Ann Coulter for headlining an upcoming party sponsored by GOProud, an organization that represents gay conservatives. Farah dropped Coulter from a speaking engagement at WND’s annual conference in September because of her involvement with GOProud. Coulter retorted last week by calling Farah a “swine” and a “publicity whore.”

In response, Farah appeared on The Steve Yuhas Show Sunday and then gave an interview to host Michelangelo Signorile on Sirius’ gay themed channel, “OutQ” the next day. Farah told Signorile that he was fed up with the conservative movement, and criticized conservatives for embracing members of the gay community who share beliefs on issues like taxes, health care and the role of government.

That’s a doozy, talking to gay talk show hosts to chastise Coulter for talking to gay conservatives — while faulting the conservative movement for reaching out to their gay confrères.

The supposed right-wing publisher told the left-wing talk show host that since conservatism is always losing ground, “That’s why I don’t consider myself a conservative.”

And this also got me wondering:  Signorile has this loony-tune right-winger on his show, but does he ever invite gay conservatives on?  I mean, don’t you think he’d want to get the gay conservative perspective on this issue instead of trotting out a right-winger who’s a little extreme for most mainstream conservatives?

    We can argue into eternity the merits of gay marriage versus other means of transferring shared property rights from one person to another, but we cannot have these lone nuts calling themselves conservatives and going out and slandering a large group of people and turning off half of the country.

    This is incredibly counter-productive. It ignores so many far more pressing issues. A true conservative should not be concerned with what someone does in his or her bedroom. You’re never sacrificing conservative principles when you treat people as individuals who have ownership of their own bodies.

    I can’t stand the drivel on OutQ. Have you guys at this blog ever considered putting together a radio show and pitching it to media like Logo and OutQ?

    Somebody was making that suggestion on LaSalvia’s FB page yesterday. The first suggestion was a gay conservative channel on Sirius/XM, the other was co-hosting with Signorile. I suggested merely that LaSalvia had enough hair for both of them.
