    The Petitioners

    I'd love to hear them explain why it is that (a) they need to ask a "respectable" organization like CPAC to keep a hate-spewing bigot off its stage, and (b) whether they think a petition will do anything to diminish the popularity of Coulter's views, as manifest in cheers, heavy booking on college campuses, as well as astronomical book sales?

    What does all this mean about their conservative movement? The idea that they could get around that issue with some cheap and easy "repudiation" on their blog or something is absurd. I'm not saying they don't deserve a bit of credit for the petition effort, but there are bigger questions about their brand that ought to be occurring to them.
