The Left says that The Right is the violent side of the political spectrum. Yet I seem to recall that there are dozens of examples of the Left’s physical angst and find it very hard to find conservative examples of violence toward their political opponents.
Did you know that during his CPAC speech Glenn Beck had to wear a bulletproof vest?
I was there. I saw how security was during the entire event. Vice President Dick Cheney was there. Senators and Representatives were there. Even the evil hated Ann Coulter was there. There were no security policy changes when they were on stage. But when we approached the time for Glenn Beck to appear, things got a little tighter. No access to this hallway, nobody in this room without a proper badge. How sad is it that the compassionate left has to resort to death threats to get its way?
Comments about my first trip to CPAC, plus my reaction to the Health Care Summit.
A busy morning… arrived on blogger’s row at 8:30am and chatted briefly with Ed Morrissey about HotAir.com getting acquired by Salem Communications. Salem, as Ed describes, “is the conservative radio network that features such luminaries as my friend and mentor Hugh Hewitt, Dennis Prager, and Michael Medved, and who bought Townhall from the Heritage Foundation several years ago.” This is outstanding news for Hot Air since it means financial stability and association with some of the finest minds in the small but influential conservative media sector.
Mike Williams from the Texas Railroad Commission gave an outstanding speech, as did Mike Pence. Fingers Malloy just interviewed Doug Hoffman and we are awaiting Tim Pawlenty for his interview. It’s been a great morning so far!
