Joseph Farah, editor and chief executive officer of WND, said the decision was a gut-wrenching one for his team because of their fondness for Coulter as both a person and writer-speaker. "Ultimately, as a matter of principle, it would not make sense for us to have Ann speak to a conference about 'taking America back' when she clearly does not recognize that the ideals to be espoused there simply do not include the radical and very 'unconservative' agenda represented by GOProud," said Farah. "The drift of the conservative movement to a brand of materialistic libertarianism is one of the main reasons we planned this conference from the beginning." Asked by Farah why she was speaking to GOProud, Coulter said: "They hired me to give a speech, so I'm giving a speech. I do it all the time." << <a href="http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=192405" target="_blank">http://www.wnd.com/index.php?f...d=192405</a> Coulter further responds to Farah: >>now that he has, I will say that he could give less than two sh-ts about the conservative movement — as demonstrated by his promotion of the birther nonsense (long ago disproved by my newspaper, human events, also sweetness & light, american spectator and national review etc, etc etc). He’s the only allegedly serious conservative pushing the birther thing. for ONE reason: to get hits on his website. 4) his group hadn’t come up for the money to book me for a speech, anyway, so he’s not canceling me from anything.<< <a href="http://dailycaller.com/2010/08/18/ann-coulters-email-to-the-daily-caller-about-worldnetdaily/" target="_blank">http://dailycaller.com/2010/08...etdaily/</a>

I'm sure it doesn't help much when all your "leaders" are such nasty people and there are no more adults left in the room to referee.
