Make sure to post clips and excerpts which emphasize the parts of the CPAC presentations with "piss off the libs", so that the speakers and organizers know which speakers and themes get the most free publicity.
Make them feel relevant and important.

Look at the empty seats.
CPAC's lustre has faded among the right wingers, but they are being given oxygen in the "look at the pissed-off libs" department.

(82,849 posts)How many times over the years have I heard some sparsely-attended conservative fustercluck threaten to dry up and blow away, but then millions upon millions of people across the country said, "You know, I'd never heered of Nitpick PAC, but then I read sumpin' about it on this-year Dee-moe-crack-y Undergown and now I'm a-going to it and give 'em all my money."
When oh when will DU at last realize and handle responsibly the incredible reach and influence we wield over all Americans great and small? It's practically criminal the way our outsize sway is so misused.
