Look Who's Feuding Now: A Map of Conservative Fingerpointing
By Elspeth Reeve and Philip Bump | 4:28 PM ET

Republicans have been going through a civil war since they fared much worse than they expected in the 2012 elections. Actually, it's a lot of civil wars. So many that it's hard to keep them all straight. We've created a chart of GOP infighting to help you sort them out.





Feud Key —

CPAC vs. Pamela Geller: Geller, famed anti-Islam blogger, has spoken at CPAC for the last four years in a row, but she's not invited to the 2013 gathering. Breitbart News thinks it's because Geller just won a high-profile court case to put anti-Islam ads in the New York City subway.

Geller vs. Grover Norquist: Geller thinks she was disinvited from CPAC because she criticized the anti-tax advocate. As The Right Scoop explains, Geller accused Norquist of shilling for Muslim radicals. "He and his Palestinian wife, Samah Alrayyes, who was director of communications for his Islamic Free Market Institute until they married in 2005, are very active in 'Muslim outreach,'" Geller said in 2010.

Michelle Malkin vs. Norquist and CPAC: "I'll #standwithpamelageller over Grover Norquist in a heartbeat. How about you?" Malkin tweeted.
