CPAC is showing their incompetence level on the first day.

The right-wing group begun by the late red-baiter Reed Irvine (who saw communists under his bed all the time,) "Accuracy In Media" is giving their award for "accuracy" to the guy who started the blog "Gateway Pundit," Jim Hoft.

Hoft has been described by other right-wingers as the "stupidest guy on the Internet."


Right-wing blogger Jim Hoft will reportedly receive an award from Accuracy in Media at the Conservative Political Action Conference, despite his track record of dishonesty and incompetence.

At the annual CPAC gathering, Hoft, who founded the Gateway Pundit blog, will receive the Reed Irvine Accuracy in Media Award. According to the press release from Accuracy in Media, Hoft is being recognized for his "groundbreaking contributions to New Media," and the fact that his blog has become "one of the country's top resources for right-of-center news and commentary."
