Righties who are boycotting CPAC because of Teh Gay now say that it's also full of Teh Islam
Following in the footsteps of right-wing pundit Frank Gaffney, David Horowitz is accusing CPAC of having connections to radical Islam. Horowitz spoke at a CPAC panel in 2009, where he was introduced by notorious anti-Muslim activist Pamela Geller, and the David Horowitz Freedom Center is a CPAC participating organization. But Horowitz, who recently defended Glenn Beck in his linking of the progressive movement to the Muslim Brotherhood and claimed that public school teachers encourage the indoctrination of students into “Jihadist doctrines," has now joined other CPAC detractors like Gaffney to blast the involvement of Suhail Khan. Khan is a board member of the American Conservative Union, which hosts CPAC, and tomorrow is leading a panel on inclusion in the conservative movement.

"Suhail Kahn is a member of the board of the American Conservative Union. He's moderating a (CPAC) panel," Horowitz explains. "His father created an Islamist mosque in California that held fundraisers for Ayman al-Zawahiri, the number-two (man) in al-Qaeda. This was in the (19)90s."

Terrorism expert Robert Spencer, director of Jihad Watch, comments as well on Kahn.

"Suhail Kahn has also spoken about how Muslims should be eager to die for the Palestinian question, using the same kind of language that suicide bombers have employed," he notes. "This is not really somebody who should be considered moderate or certainly not conservative."

He may be at CPAC, but we shouldn't let bigotry go unaddressed. This Mr. Khan has been participating in how the government works since the mid-90's, and nobody seemed to notice that he was an "Islamist" then, why?

Secondly "father created an Islamist mosque", really? Wasn't the father of the Koch brothers (Who now direct so much in the right wing) a man who spread propaganda stating that the civil rights movement was a front for communists to overthrow the government of the United States and also for blacks to get into cities to wage "race war" on white people? What's that REALLY mean about the Koch boys then?

BTW, Horowitz also said that teachers unions were in bed with Muslims just a few days ago. At the rate this is going, I think we can expect him to blame the extinction of the dinosaurs on Muslims in about a week.
