Sunday Talk: Get your freak on

Every March, millions of conservative activists and thought leaders get dressed up in their best white robes, and gather for a few days of hating on "others" and trolling for gay sex.

This year's conference featured the usual suspects, with a few notable exceptions.

Conspicuously absent from the festivities were New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie'who committed the totally unforgivable sin of publicly thanking President Obama for his efforts in the wake of Hurricane Sandy'and Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell'who committed
the equally unforgivable sin of raising taxes.

Also excluded from the reindeer games was GOProud, which is guilty of the greatest sin of all'promoting acceptance of the homosexual lifestyle.

The void they left was filled by up-and-comers like Senators Marco Rubio and Rand Paul, down-and-outers like Rep. Michele Bachmann and Sarah Palin, and total crackpots like Pam Geller and Orly Taitz, DDS, Esq.

And thanks to the inclusion of Sen. Tim Scott, former Rep. Allen West, and Dr. Ben Carson, CPAC 2013 was shaping up to be a real celebration of diversity.

But that all fell apart on Friday afternoon, when a couple of white supremacists (quite understandably) mistook a panel discussion about GOP minority outreach for a Klan rally.
