Andrew Breitbart to Join GOProud’s Advisory Council

January 20, 2011 by B. Daniel Blatt

In another coup for the fledging gay conservative group GOProud, they’ve snagged “Conservative Media Mogul Andrew Breitbart” for their Advisory Council:

“I applaud GOProud’s strong, principled conservatism and admire their courage to defy the left’s stifling demand for group conformity,” said Andrew Breitbart. “As a fierce opponent of the cultural Marxism and political correctness that divides Americans into different identity groups, I embrace the American motto E Pluribus Unum as an antidote to the Democratic Party’s divide and conquer strategy.”

Breitbart joins Margaret Hoover, Grover Norquist and Tammy Bruce on the GOProud Advisory Council.

Commenting on Breitbart’s decision to join the board, Christopher Barron, Chairman of GOProud’s Board, observed that

Andrew Breitbart is on the cutting edge of the conservative movement. No one better exemplifies the growing strength of the new media more than Andrew Breitbart. Andrew is a fearless, committed advocate for conservative principles and we welcome him to the GOProud leadership team

I should note that GOProud is doing something I long lobbied Log Cabin to do (when I was a club office and president in the 1990s):  build bridges to the conservative movement.  Kudos to Chris and Jimmy LaSalvia for making connections with leading conservatives, particularly Breitbart, a man on the cutting edge of efforts to use new media to promote our ideas.

With each passing day, they help provide evidence that the principles which undergird modern American conservatism are inclusive ones — and that while there may still be a few voices of intolerance on the right, by and large American conservatives are willing to welcome openly gay people into their counsels and confabs.   They may not agree with us on all issues, but they are willing to work with us.  And willing to listen.

    That’s great. All libertarians on your advisory board. Do not forget to add Hugh Hewitt as I believe Dan stated that he was a social conservative. Hewitt is a libertarian.

    #3 Wow. How does an angry bitch like Joe get nominated for “Outstanding Blog” by GLAAD? Sounds like GLAAD is a fraud.

    I had never heard of Andrew Breitbart until I read this post. Thus has reading this blog for all this time introduced some interesting subjects to me. Still I don’t really understand some of these conservative bloggers whom the Gay Patriot lauds. I guess there are muckrakers of every sort. I can remember my parents listening to Joe Pyne. While he was famously insulting to his interviewees and questioners, still he had a far better command of English. My favorite rejoinder is still “why don’t you go and play on the freeway?” One was able to laugh at the comments because the sting was delivered with such style. He called persons “jerks” and “dummies”, but he wasn’t vulgar as I’ve heard Ann Coulter be. Well, different times call for different language apparently.

    I’m sorry, did someone misinform you by telling you she uses the term “tea-bagger?”

    You must have been thrown into a complete civility funk. (That is “funk” with an “n” and you can look it up.)

    Breitbart’s an inflamatory person, but I like him. Although I find it funny that the rabid left is calling him the f-bomb since he joined up.

    ” I will be the harshest critic of the activist gay left, who I fear more than al-Qaida.” Andrew Breitbart

    umm so how is he any different than Sally Kern in his vacuous statment about gays? And didn’t he alter that video of Shirley Sherrod to make her seem racist? You are going to ask him to repudiate such behavior I hope.

    Somehow I suspect that Alqaida is still the larger threat and that libel is a crime. That is unless you are endorsing such behavior on your board of directors.

    Really?

    Andrew Breitbart’s comment about Gay Leftists being more horrible than Islamists should be sarcastic.

    He’s a conservative so he is strongly opposed to Leftist and Islamist ideology. Maybe Andrew thinks that Gay Left and Leftists (in general) have more political strength – government and politicians, the media, social communities – in this country. And that is why he thinks the Left is dangerous. I guess you’ll have to talk to him about that.

    I think both Leftists and Social Conservatives can be very dangerous when they push their beliefs to the extreme or “fringe.” I pray that America doesn’t fall acutely to either political side and respectful civil dialogue continues.

    Off-topic concern: I don’t understand why most social conservatives never became upset when Concerned WOMEN for America(CWA) was apart of CPAC. They were a Women’s-issues group. If the group was called Concerned GAYS for America – with a similar socially conservative ideology as CWA – there might still be a backlash. In addition, WorldNetDaily reported a few days ago that the TEA Party national leader stated that GOProud was “never” apart of the TEA Party movement. Very odd what’s been happening lately.

    Actually, the gay community and its owners in the Obama Party already stated that al-Qaeda was not a threat to the United States and is not a security challenge.

    Meanwhile, the gay community and its endorsement of promiscuity and disease-spreading bareback sex is responsible for disabling and killing tens of thousands of Americans annually, with the disproportionate impact being on teenagers and young adults.

    It’s amusing to watch the gay and lesbian community shriek about “teen suicide” when they actually maim, disable, and kill more teens per year through bareback sex and promiscuity.

  15. North Dallas Thirty says

    January 21, 2011 at 5:41 pm - January 21, 2011

    And the other reason that makes perfect sense is that the activist gay left, the arm of the Obama Party, actually endorses and supports Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda as “freedom fighters” and praises people like Bradley Manning who leak classified information to them as heroes.

    Meanwhile, would the gay liberals like Tim who are whining please state that editing or changing a video in any form constitutes alteration and thus is grounds for libel? Also, since they endorse and support Shirley Sherrod, do they also support her holding poor people in virtual slavery?

    *pets ND30* watching you make excuses for people is really quite funny. Straights who abuse children are ok (like the Catholic Church’s habit of sheltering pedophiles from the law) But if one gay does it like those horrible foster parents than all gays should be kept from raising children.
    blather on will you, I suppose you find my strident detestation for the crimes of the catholic hierarchy to be anti religious now?

    Yea it really is sad and ridiculous how NDT takes things out of context and paints all liberals and gays with such broad brushes. If you don’t completely agree with his closed minded world view then you’re an evil, disease ridden neanderthal that rapes children in bus stops. There’s no way that it’s possible for a liberal gay to be a good person in his eyes. It’s scary.

    Straights who abuse children are ok (like the Catholic Church’s habit of sheltering pedophiles from the law)

    Wow, do we disagree on that one. I’ve been most vociferous about the fact that, even though I understand the theological reason for why the Roman Catholic Church moved gay pedophile priests around rather than sending them to jail, it neither solved the problem or complied with the law, so it was emphatically not OK.

    Obviously, your opinion varies.

    But if one gay does it like those horrible foster parents than all gays should be kept from raising children.

    Key difference; the Catholic Church is not going around saying it’s a good idea to sexualize and molest children.

    Gays and lesbians, on the other hand, are calling it an “educational experience” and treating it as a good thing — part of the whole “social goal of, quote, “to disarm the prudish people — make them move away or cure them of their neuroses”.

    blather on will you, I suppose you find my strident detestation for the crimes of the catholic hierarchy to be anti religious now?

    No, I think your rants against Christians a few weeks ago established your antireligious bigotry and hatred quite nicely.

    And now on to AJ.

    If you don’t completely agree with his closed minded world view then you’re an evil, disease ridden neanderthal that rapes children in bus stops.

    Yeah, I’m very familiar with that logic.

    Father of two, John Kruse said it is an educational experience for children. He said there were conservative parents against having kids at the event.

    “Those are the same close-minded people who think we shouldn’t have children to begin with,” he said.

    Sorry, AJ, but I’ll just never buy into the worldview you and your fellow gays and lesbians have that being against having four-year-olds dressed up as sexual slaves and showing off for the pleasure of naked and masturbating adults makes you “close-minded”.

    But I think your endorsement of that speaks volumes for why so many people think you and yours shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near children.

    Miss Rita Beads. . .you know NDT. . . you really need some new material. BLAH BLAH BLAH. You go gurl.

    Why don’t you go rag on the toddlers and tiaras.

    January 22, 2011 at 1:30 am - January 22, 2011

    Why don’t you go rag on the toddlers and tiaras.

    I believe that argument died a few weeks ago, rusty, after I pointed out that adults naked and masturbating to the sight of little girls at a beauty pageant, or parents who dressed their children up as sexual slaves and took them to a strip club to “show off” for the patrons, would be arrested and likely stripped of their parental rights.

    However, in the gay and lesbian universe, not only do they get to keep their children, but they get the full endorsement of the Association of Gay and Lesbian Psychiatrists, of which John Kruse is a member, for their theories that sexualizing toddlers counts as an “educational experience”.

    If you’re seriously comparing taking children to a beauty pageant to taking them to the Folsom Street Fair, all I think that can be said is that you’ve been to neither.

  21. rusty says

    January 22, 2011 at 6:45 am - January 22, 2011

    Guess I missed that grand argument.

    Never been to FSF or a children’s beauty pageant.

    From stories from those who attend FSF, seems there are a lot of folk who are either in the closet and travel to SF for their discrete adventures.

    FTR, Miss Rita Beads, Kruse and his partner made a huge error in taking their children to the adult event.

    And, again,NDT, you really need new material.

    #8, Heliotrope. I’m sorry but I really don’t understand your comments. The very few times I’ve heard Ann Coulter were the times I heard her use f-bombs and scatalogical references to those with whom she was disagreeing (and I don’t remember at whom she was directing her comments because I clicked off the webpage). When I looked up Andrew Breitbart on Wikipedia (since I didn’t know who he is), I read he did something similar when he referred to the late Sen. Ted Kennedy. I don’t know if you are old enough to remember Joe Pyne (many who comment here appear to be not), but he did not use such language; he was insulting, but not vulgar. Times do change, but I find this vulgar usage shows a lack of someone’s facility with English, a wonderfully rich language. When I see the posts on this website decrying injudicious language by liberals and Democrats, I’d like to see a similar disapproval for these media pundits and web bloggers who are conservative and Republicans, and speak/write in the same fashion. Otherwise, in my estimation, one side is just as bad as the other, and their arguments are equally degraded.

    Funny thing is I don’t support that and I don’t believe the vast majority of gays would either. Yet you continue to lie, claiming that I endorsed that somewhere. With you, every gay person is guilty until proven innocent. Unless they speak out against every bad thing a gay person did ever, they must endorse it. That line of reasoning is extremely flawed and tragically sad.

    You have nothing to support that the gay worldview supports dressing up kids in such a manner. You have one or two examples of ridiculously inappropriate behavior and suggest that all gays think or behave that way. That line of thinking couldn’t be more irrational.
