2012 had the CPAC rap where a black guy walked out when they started yelling "mah knickers".

This is why I feel like it deserves a thread every year. It's tempting to think of stuff like this as footnotes at a fringe organization meeting, but it's THREE STRAIGHT DAYS of this stuff and every major GOP presidential candidate and wanna-be is there. This is the new center of the GOP.

"That's what they all say!"
According to some sources, like USA Today, this is the first CPAC where speakers are questioned by the audience.

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2015/02/25/cpac-2016-presidential-race-republicans/23942653/

Depending how this is done, it could be great!


Edit: Reading their agenda, they're also having:

Phyllis Shlafly
Mia Love
Grover Norquist
Joni Ernst
Oliver North
Chris Christie
James O'Keefe

Anything else I missed? http://cpac.conservative.org/agenda/


Also: they have a panel called "Average, Middle-Class Americans" that includes:

Rep. Roger Williams, net worth up to $30 million.
Carly Fiorina, net worth likely over $30-120 million.

I wonder how carefully Nigel will have to speak because even his lovely retarded party is notably less poo poo than most of the people that will be at CPAC. Him getting booed off stage would probably be the funniest thing to happen to a British politician in the US since a US senator said Churchill was a fatter version of Neville with a worse haircut while Churchill was in ear shot.

To be fair it seemed like the "black guy storms out when they say 'my knickers'" thing was staged? Or it was incredibly coincidental timing, I'm really not sure. But that just makes me wonder who the guy is who signed up to be in their dumb bit.
