Did Brent Bozell Storm Out Of CPAC Because Of A Speaking Downgrade?

» 23 comments

Earlier today, rumors popped up that Brent Bozell, Founder of the Media Research Center, decided to leave CPAC after learning his speaking role at the conference would be diminished. Mediaite’s Tommy Christopher — who is attending CPAC — quoted MRC sources in a series of tweets as saying the organization decided to “pull out” of the event. CPAC organizers allegedly told Bozell that he wasn’t prominent enough for his original slot, and was instead downgraded to a less visible role:


The Daily Caller’s Jeff Poor reported that a company-wide email was sent out telling the staff that they had pulled out. And a CPAC spokesperson confirmed MRC’s's departure to Poor from the event:

“We offered Brent Bozell the opportunity to participate as a moderator and speaker of one of our events,” she said. “He chose not to accept that opportunity.”

Bozell didn’t mention anything about the incident on his Twitter feed, and calls to his public relations team were not returned (we’ll update if we hear anything).

    Maybe it had something to do with calling Obama a skinny crackhead? Even the losers ar CPAC know better than to let this odious scumbag speak.

    Smart move CPAC-you just dodged a major bullet.

    I’ve heard CPAC ditched some of their old time regulars like The Birch Society.  They were tired of the old time losers, it was time for some new time losers.

    They kicked Brent Bozell huh…well on day one they hosted Peter Brimelow,a known White Nationalist,on a panel about “the failure of multicuralism”.The “radical muslim hearings” guy, Congressman Steve King was also on the same panel.

    So…there’s that.

    I don’t understand how ANYBODY can stomach Bozell’s existence. He’s so unbearable to watch and listen to. Finally someone made the right move and took his @ss out of a public event. He’s so arrogant that he takes it personally and storms off like a 5 year old. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out, Bozo.

     Obama is not a skinny crackhead.  He’s a skinny lying coke freak, according to his ghost-written autobiographies.  Accuracy is important.

    Bozell’s father was an unamerican piece of filth, the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

    First, you lib clowns make a mistake believing anything Tommy writes. Second, Obama is a skinny crackhead or a skinny lying coke freak. Whichever you prefer.

    Hey…This is one of Sean Hannity’s best bud!! They both are Obama HATERS!! It’s one thing to be against the man’s policies, but, these guys preach nothing but HATE!! Maybe that’s why they both support Newt & Santourm??

    A crackhead? Why, because he’s black? Does that mean the CPAC crowd is filled with meth heads?

    He’s all washed up.

    How is he a coke freak? Because he tried cocaine in his youth? Has he sold off all his stuff for coke? Did he let coke ruin his life. Even if he does coke now (which I doubt) he handles himself well. I have had countless encounters with people who have let cocaine ruin their lives & Obama is nothing like them.

    I don’t know he is & why he feels entitled to speak. Sometimes these sort of things happen & maybe he’s not a main attraction (I’ll admit I haven’t the faintest idea who he is). Sometimes people need to get over themselves & not put themselves over the event.

    Is Brent Bozell STILL relevant, even?  I mean, this guy is the son or grandson of one of the major campaigners for Barry Goldwater!  THAT guy made history.  He was relevant, regardless of your political persuasion.  But this Brent Bozell Jr. or the third is nothing more than a pissant who runs a “media bias-detecting” think-tank called the Media Research Council and some prudish “tv decency watchdog group” called the Parents’ Television Council.

    This guy’s word is worthless. At least his father or grandfather actually helped his “conservative movement” start. The son/grandson is just a whiny know-it-all who’s a thorn in most everyone’s side.

    I’ve read many posts from you and you are the clown. Crackhead and coke fiend?

    He is still a weak, spineless, can’t-quit nicotine addict.

    By his own admission.

    Brent Bozell is the conservative equivalent of Media Matters, which I am sure you love and adore.

    Why rush this story out as rumint?  Why not wait for a formal response.  I know any liberal would have been given the benefit of the doubt TC – why not provide the same opportunity to a conservative?

    I’m sure you will issue an apology when you learn that this is indeed only RUMOR and inuendo and not factual in nature?

    Nicotine isn’t illegal. Now we’re gonna bash him for doing something legal? How about we go after him for drinking coffee or 5 hour energy?

    Brent has told too many untruths to be even somewhat credible anymore.  It’s just too easy to factcheck today; and anyone with a moderate desire to seek the truth can find how unreputable Brent is…it’s just laziness or maybe worse…but I don’t pay attention any longer
