Via Crooks and Liars, conservative author and pundit Ann Coulter has not been invited to this year's Conservative Political Action Conference. Coulter drew the ire of mainstream critics and many on the right when she referred to Muslims as "ragheads" at CPAC in '06 and used a homophobic slur against John Edwards last year. Coulter has been a huge draw at previous CPAC events, but it would appear the organizers no longer feel the baggage her appearances bring is worth the free publicity. However, Think Progress reports that some of Coulter's supporters have found a way to bring her to CPAC, if in an unofficial capacity:
A few of Coulter’s supporters found a way for her to appear at the conference. Five of this year’s CPAC sponsors — the Young America’s Foundation (YAF), Human Events, Townhall.com, Citizens United, and Clare Boothe Luce Policy Institute — have decided to hold a “Q & A session” with Coulter that “is not part of the general sessions.”
