CPAC Wrap: Conservative Bloggers In Washington
The American Conservative Union was one of the first organizations to invite bloggers to cover an event in Washington. The event was last year's Conservative Political Action Conference.
CPAC 2006 was held this week, and bloggers were back again. Glenn Reynolds of Instapundit spoke at the event and promoted his forthcoming book, An Army of Davids: How Markets and Technology Empower People to Beat Big Media, Big Government, and Other Goliaths. Blogger Michelle Malkin also was there to promote her recent book, Unhinged: Exposing Liberals Gone Wild. And several "credentialed" bloggers covered the event.
The blogs covering the event included:
-- The American Mind;
-- Anchor Rising;
-- Ankle Biting Pundits;
-- The Autonomist;
-- La Shawn Barber;
-- Cam Edwards;
-- Girl on the Right;
-- HughHewitt.com;
-- JunkYardBlog;
-- Little Miss Attila;
-- Metroblogging DC;
-- A North American Patriot;
-- The Right Angle;
-- Save the GOP;
-- The Shape of Days;
Both this year and last, bloggers have worked themselves into a frenzy over happenings at the conference.
Last year, some of them were irked at John Fund of The Wall Street Journal for invading the bloggers' corner and, in their minds, showing "complete disrespect" to the bloggers. This year, some bloggers, as well as conservatives at the event, are ticked at columnist Ann Coulter for calling Muslims "ragheads" in a speech. Barber, however, thinks its "much ado about nothing."
