This is a letter currently printed in the Rhino Times, home to his columns. I'd say it was sarcastic, but I'm too cynical to think so:
Dear Editor, As a newcomer to Greensboro, I’m interested in interacting with fellow conservatives in a relaxed atmosphere for the purpose of chatting, gabbing, joking, exchanging information and bashing liberals. In Chapel Hill, there is a weekly breakfast meeting for a group we called the Chapel Hill Chapter of the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy, which usually had four to eight members in attendance.
If there is sufficient interest, we can establish a sister chapter here in Greensboro. The site and time would be decided later by attendees, but for starters I suggest meeting each Friday at 9 a.m. at the Golden Corral on Lawndale.
For further information, you may reach me at (336) 540-0863, or by e-mail at rightersnetwork@rhinotimes.com. Charles Tanquary

See, I'm not sure it IS a joke. I mean, if I were making fun of conservatives in a conservative publication, I probably wouldn't include valid contact information.

Yeah. I'm pretty sure it's not a joke since there are plenty of groups like that around the country. *shrug*

I think the name of the club is just another jab at liberals.
I say it's real.
Judging by the other "Honest Bush" and "Yay for No Child Left Behind" letters to the editor, I'd say it fits right in.
The only liberal voice I saw was the one arguing against Card's anti-gay marriage essay. And Card's rebuttal was only enough to satiate people who already agreed with him.
So unless the staff of The Onion has taken over The Rhino Times, I'd say the letter's serious.
