Conservative speaker Ann Coulter, the woman who says you cannot say the word “fagot” without going to rehab, claims Jews need to be “perfected,” and calls people in the Middle East “Camel Jockeys,” has been asked to step down as a keynote speaker at WorldNetDaily’s “Taking America Back National Conference”.

Coulter is an American constitutional attorney, conservative social and political commentator, best-selling author, and syndicated columnist. Well-known for her right-wing political opinions and the controversial ways in which she defends them, Coulter has described herself as a polemicist who likes to “stir up the pot” and, unlike “broadcasters,” does not “pretend to be impartial or balanced.

The conference organizers said that it was Coulter’s involvement in “HOMOCON”, an event that is put on my GOProud and represents, “gay conservatives and their allies”, that let to her being booted from the program.

World Net Daily editor Joseph Farah made a public point to take Ann Coulter off the list of speakers at an upcoming event for her participation in Homocon this year (a conference for gay conservatives).

Coulter fired back, calling Farah “swine” and a “publicity whore.” Last night on Fox News’ Red Eye, she took it a step further, referring to WND as “fake Christians.”

“Ultimately, as a matter of principle, it would not make sense for us to have Ann speak to a conference about ‘taking America back’ when she clearly does not recognize that the ideals to be espoused there simply do not include the radical and very ‘un-conservative’ agenda represented by GOProud,” said Joseph Farah, editor and CEO of WND.

Coulter defended her involvement with GOProud, telling Farah, “They hired me to give a speech, so I’m giving a speech. I do it all the time.”

She says speaking at the event has nothing to do with her personal beliefs.

“I speak to a lot of groups and do not endorse them,” Coulter said to Farah, according to WND. “Giving a speech is not an endorsement of every position held by the people I’m speaking to.”

And though CBS reports she will continue to write a column for WND, Coulter wasn’t afraid to critique the website’s views.

“I think you’re nuts on the birther thing,” she told Farah, “Though I like you otherwise!”

While her involvement in HOMOCON may surprise right-wing supporters, Coulter has expressed her belief that gays belong in the GOP before.

“I don’t know why all gays aren’t Republican,” she once said. “I think we have the pro-gay positions, which is anti-crime and for tax cuts. Gays make a lot of money and they’re victims of crime. No, they are! They should be with us.”
