Along the lines of this morning's post arguing that the other side always feels they're lagging terribly on infrastructure and political talent, a group of right wing groups including the Americans for Prosperity Foundation, the Sam Adams Alliance, the Heritage Foundation, the Leadership Institute, the Media Research Center, have come together to host the Right Online conference:Presumably, it will be in the same convention center, and even the same conference rooms, that Netroots Nation is. [Whoops -- missed that the convention is being held this week, across town, as a tweak at Netroots Nation. Cheeky!] But the lineup will be different. The "confirmed speakers" listed on the front page are Michelle Malkin, Michael Steele, Erick Erickson, Robert Novak, John Fund, Stephen Moore, and Grover Norquist. Two of those folks have some connection to the internet. As for the rest...Robert Novak? Seriously? A lecture on the internet from Robert Novak is like a course on how to conduct "a Google" from John McCain.
For years, the left have been building a superior online political infrastructure, cultivating a powerful online community of activists, dominating the blogosphere, and leaving conservatives at a severe disadvantage in a web 2.0 world.For conservatives tired of being left behind, we invite you to RightOnline. Join leading conservative bloggers and new media experts, America’s foremost experts in grassroots mobilization, representatives from influential conservative organizations, and hundreds of citizen activists this July 18th and 19th in Austin, Texas.
