Schilling Purloins Geller Panel, Takes Bow In Politico

18

Stalin was known for erasing his political opponents’ very existence: not only would he execute them, but he would have old photos retouched so that they were no longer present. This Politico article is Stalinesque. Although I originated this panel, gave it its title and focus, and invited all those who are speaking, I am not mentioned in this article at all. Terry Schilling, who had nothing to do with the conceptualization or organization of this panel at all, takes credit for it all.

What a lie.

I connected with him for the first time this past Monday, when Dan Schneider, Executive Director of the American Conservative Union, said Schilling had a room he wasn’t using and that I could hold my panel in it. I had the panel all planned and in place.

When I said to Schilling that he should say a few words at the event, which was an AFDI event that was only being held under the auspices of Schilling’s American Principles Project because CPAC wouldn’t have it any other way, he said, “Oh no, I know nothing about this subject. I could be there and do the intro or something. I don’t have the expertise, so I couldn’t do the panel.” And I said, “Well, yes, you should make some introductory remarks,” as a kind gesture.

In the Politico piece, Schilling makes this incredible boldfaced lie: “The panel was organized by the think tank American Principles Project…” What is he talking about? They never had a panel. They had an empty room. That’s how it was offered to me – as an empty room in which I could put a panel discussion. It was a small available space that came with APP’s CPAC sponsorship package. It was offered to me this past Monday. APP had nothing going on, no new panel to put together. I organized the entire event.

Whatever else Terry Schilling may be, he is a skillful and habitual liar.

“Speaker pulled from panel alongside CPAC over Florida shooting controversy,” by Cristiano Lima, Politico, February 21, 2018:

A speaker has been pulled from a panel planned to coincide with the upcoming Conservative Political Action Conference after his website propagated evidence-free theories about survivors of last week’s Florida high school shooting, a representative for the group organizing the discussion said Wednesday.

Jim Hoft, founder of Gateway Pundit, a conservative site that has previously shared false stories, was slated to speak on a panel on “Social Media Censorship.” The panel was organized by the think tank American Principles Project and other groups and was to occur on the sidelines of the annual summit of conservative political figures on Friday.

American Principles Project’s executive director, Terry Schilling, said Wednesday that Hoft was pulled from the lineup after Gateway Pundit suggested without evidence that students from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School were coached to criticize President Donald Trump’s response to the shooting.

“The reason that Jim Hoft is not allowed to be on this panel is because of his unfair and distracting coverage of the Florida shooting,” Schilling said.

Hoft claimed Wednesday that CPAC had moved to “censor” his voice by canceling his participation, but APP later announced the event would go on without him.

“The topic of censorship of conservative views by big tech companies like Google, Facebook and Twitter — especially in the wake of last night’s #TwitterLockout — is very important,” Schiller said in a statement, referring to the recent purge of social media accounts on the network. “We will be holding the panel as scheduled.”

Earlier this week, Gateway Pundit published an article that baselessly claimed that a shooting survivor, David Hogg, was “coached” to attack the president. Hogg and students from the Parkland high school have gained prominence in the past week as advocates against gun violence.

The Gateway Pundit article said Hogg had been “astonishingly articulate and highly skilled at propagating a new anti-Conservative/anti-Trump narrative behind the recent school shooting.” The site suggested that Hogg was critical of Trump because his father is a former FBI agent….

Schilling said Gateway Pundit’s actions were not representative of conservative ideals.

“That’s not what conservatism is about,” he told POLITICO. “Conservatism is about arguments and ideas. We’re sticking to policy, and we’re going to have a high-minded discussion.”

cpac can has credibility? Not with that kind of attitude, another “nothing burger” to be ignored by anyone serious.
““That’s not what conservatism is about,” he told POLITICO. “Conservatism is about arguments and ideas. We’re sticking to policy, and we’re going to have a high-minded discussion”. Perhaps it is time to substitute the truth for policy, before you become another sub species of brain dead democrat.

That’s quite disappointing – even shocking! But the whole brouhaha that Schilling seems to have caused seems like a distraction from and irrelevant to Pam Geller and her leadership in this important – albeit VERY troubling! – issue of silencing voices of reason & right (the conservative point of view!) and, indeed, the panel itself! Sure hope that this has just been a distraction and that Pam’s panel (minus Hoft?) continues as planned! Schilling’s absence, under the circumstances, is most welcome!

Let’s face it. You’re dealing with members of the Establishment Swamp. Jeb Bush RINOs and never-Trumpers.

PS
I have NO doubt that Hoft is 100% correct about the coaching of the kids. The push is on big time for gun control. Guns that at some future date may have to be used against a Leftist tyrannical government.

If Josef Stalin and the Soviet Union still existed, CNN and vile piece of dung, Chris Cuomo, unrepentant liars and propagandists to the core, could have happily worked for them. They are all of the same disposition. On tv I’ve watched some of these individuals speaking about the massacre in the Florida and while feeling pity for the victims and loved ones, I feel utter contempt for some of the speakers. ‘Donald Trump is to blame’ is the disgusting lie from some; if not spoken certainly implied. One girl informed the audience that “the world is crying for us”. Has she any idea how stupid, delusional and self-absorbed is that thinking? Christians in particular, but also Yazidis in the thousands have died appallingly cruel deaths at the hand of Muslims in Iraq and Syria. Do these fools in America think those people in their misery are “crying for us”? No less Christians and others in Nigeria where 50 children have been abducted by the savage Muslims of Boko Haram. Do these fool in America think those people are “crying for us”? White farming families in South Africa being brutally murdered by black savages; do these fools in America think that those farming families are “crying for us” in America?

It seem that terrible hatred and intolerance now grips America. Something has died in its spirit. It didn’t start a year ago when Donald Trump became President of the U.S., it started decades ago, not least during the war in Vietnam, has grown and been simmering for years, waiting for an opportunity to vent itself when liberals were deprived of what they in their mentally deranged and infantile manner considered ‘their entitlement’, i.e, ‘their president’. Suddenly we saw democracy kicked out of the arena. Lying and treachery is all the rage, not least from the FBI, DOJ and State Department. We see the accompanying attitude from Americans competing in the Winter Olympics, from skater Adam Tampon and the Vonn skier woman. With absolutely no dignity they and others drag their country and their personal hatred into every international arena. Why? Because, like horribly spoiled and poorly brought up children, things haven’t gone their way and they didn’t get what they wanted. Disgusting human beings that they are, thank God they did not get who and what they wanted!

So CPAC itself becomes a censor of conservative views. Interesting. Repulsive, but interesting.

Typical. And so much for ‘leadership.’

In an age of lies, those who actually lead are simply setting themselves up to be fragged by the losers with the donors.

Put another way. If you’ve got the resources, you’re a “genius,” but if someone stole your resources, you’re an “idiot.”

Don’t sweat it Pamela. Losers have their reward now, but God sees all and will reward your leadership when it counts.

Hoft was pulled for criticizing “Shooting Survivors” who favor more gun violence.

Whether the young Useful Idiot in question was ‘coached’ depends on your definition of ‘coached.’

No one supports MORE gun violence unless their head is full of Leftist nonsense about how disarming non-criminals stops violent offenders with mental health issues.

Another reason not to waste any more effort on CinoPAC.

Gun Control Advocates = Gun Violence Advocates.

CinoPAC decided Hoft cannot criticize Gun Violence Advocates – despite prima facie evidence that the Gun Violence Advocate was ‘coached.’

Tho – to be fair – ‘brainwashed’ or ‘indoctrinated’ would be more accurate than ‘coached.’

Let us hope that Schilling slithers away from the public view, his dishonesty and his treachery can never be taken back. He has gone beyond the scope of an apology, he has gone to oblivion. We stand wholly and wholeheartedly with Pamela. Hoeft was well within his rights to make his observation. The issue of school safety, and the student body overall, has been hijacked by a mob of modern-day lynchers.
