So. Much. Hypocrisy.
That was Julia Ioffe, a staff writer at The New Republic. She also tweeted out some other oh-so-insightful (and totally non-biased, wink wink!) thoughts from CPAC 2013.
Arrived at #CPAC2013, spotted my first cowboy hat before even going inside.

How come Rand produces so much more deciliters of saliva than Marco? White men really must be superior. #CPAC2013
— Julia Ioffe (@juliaioffe) March 14, 2013
You know, because conservatives are all raaaaaaaaaaaacist and stuff. Others, of course, followed her foul lead.
A lot of white folks at #CPAC. Where are the minorities? (the ones not serving food)

I suddenly noticed there weren't any white men to be seen for miles. Oh that's right it's #CPAC time!
— PleasantlyEccentric (@aimeep_11) March 14, 2013
Looks like most of CPAC is the usual WHITE crowd. Not much diversity from what I see. #tcot #p2

The most offensive thing at this point? How lame and tired it all is. The lack of self-awareness is also utterly astounding. Ms. Ioffe, let us introduce you to Ace of Spades. He destroyed your outlet’s pitiful “OMG we see white people” cover earlier this year. “Party of White People”? One need look no further than the progressives of pallor at The New Republic.
#tnrdiversity Look at all the TNR minority staffers tweeting to rebut me… all zero of them. @chrishughes

Ah, memories. You’re welcome, Ms. Ioffe. Ms. Ioffe is apparently a super feminist, too. You can tell by the way she mocks conservative women.

Where does she host now and in which Confederate state did she win the teen beauty pageant? #CPAC2013 pic.twitter.com/ypX7OQOq4r

Sisterhood! Her idiocy is matched only by the always absurd Ana Marie Cox.
I could be at #SXSW right now. #cpacscore 10/10

Funny you should mention SXSW, Ms. Cox.
When all the lib journos start "reporting" on how "white" #CPAC2013 is, point them to snow-white #sxsw ==> http://t.co/RQx3KReJUl

Bingo! And prescient.
The media will never report on that, though. Nor will they report on this.

Update: Oh, yes. Ace of Spades is introducing himself to confused Ms. Ioffe.
.@juliaioffe wonderin' when @tnr will hire its very first black editor, please let me know, k thanx! http://t.co/pBzGRjgcek

A lot of white liberals like @juliaoffe and @chrislhayes spend half their day decrying White Skin Privilege and the other half enjoying it
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) March 14, 2013
Apparently White Skin Privilege is something mean conservatives benefit from but not the sea of white faces at @msnbc and @tnr
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) March 14, 2013
.@juliaioffe just emailed me: "If I wanted to see this many white upper-middle-class guys I wouldn't have my offices at @TNR!!"
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) March 14, 2013
"I refuse to work at @TNR until they begin hiring a more diverse staff." — something @juliaioffe apparently never said
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) March 14, 2013
"I will personally fight for equality of opportunity for all races at @TNR; I can do no other." — NOT @juliaioffe
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) March 14, 2013
.@juliaioffe travels from @TNR's offices to Starbuck's to Anthropology and watches Girls and Mad Men and then says "Wow, CPAC is white!!!"
