37. They wanted to rub our LIBERAL noses in him, frankly.

They wanted to insist that we were "fake inclusive" and intolerant of the gay cross-dresser SIMPLY FOR HIS CONSERVATIVE VIEWS.

They later found out that his "VIEWS" were intolerable to anyone who wasn't a sick SOB having no problem with child molestation.

I'll bet he already had marching orders to "tone it down" at CPAC, in exchange for keeping that job (that he has since lost) at BREITBART. Of course, since he's been disinvited, we'll never know what he would have said.

Now, the wingnuts are busily saying that "someone" spent $250K to "investigate" this idiot, when Google or a LEXIS/NEXIS search, tops, would have pulled up every sick comment the guy has ever made--the "trick" was for someone to go through all his garbage, and there were plenty of people who were motivated to do just that.
