From a speech at CPAC 2010 by California Young Americans for Freedom's Ryan Sorba:
Please upgrade your flash player. The video for this item requires a newer version of Flash Player. If you are unable to install flash you can download a QuickTime version of the video.
In response to jeers following his initial statement, Sorba repeatedly states, "the lesbians at Smith College protest better than you do."
It just goes to show that the Conservative Movement is a big tent...a big F-ing circus freak show tent.
Did anyone catch those two people in the back standing and applauding? Probably the only other 2 in the california young americans for freedom. Seriously though, california young americans for freedom? and freedom has what to do with denying homosexuals the right to civil unions? I feel like every idiotic conservative right wing nutjob movement has the word freedom in it.
LOL Crazy
Carry on, CPAC. Jesus loves you.
ligous idealogs, leads me 2 believe a growing # of the American society, must believe in their racist, war mongering vial retorick!! how sad is that.
But the GOP has been behaving in a manner that has been dangerously bigoted,draconian, belligerant and irresponsble (ESPECIALLY with the TeaBag movement.) And they have far more to grow-up about than just their ugly and homocidal harangues against good LGBT people.
For the record, the few Log Cabin Republicans who I have had a chance to speak with do, indeed, exhibit a very confused identity. Sadly, they seem to be as angry, bigoted and battle-hungry as anyone else in the GOP. Many, in fact, display open hostility to other gay people who they consider too "flambouyant" (which is precisely the kind of guy i LOVE!)
So, in a nut-shell: yes, there is a fair degree of dissonance in that demographic, and that confusion reaches its apex in the likes of Peter Thiel and Jeff Gannon.
I would have pictures of CPAC members on stage
This is one HUGE hatefest.
Military intelligence
Clean coal
open secret
Gay GOP
Moderate Republican
(not when GWB is spending billions on an unjustified war)
I am curious to know if they are member of GOPride or just young people who realize that bigotry against the LGBT community is a loosing strategy for CPAC.
Well there's no arguing with that bulletproof logic, now is there?
You know, the intelligible end of the act of consumption is obtaining nourishment. So I condemn anyone at CPAC who has a glass of wine, smokes a cigarette, or even entertains a conversation with someone who thinks that anyone has a right to consume those poisons! In conclusion, I'd like to ask, "Who is John Galt?!?!" Woohoo!
I'll now leave the stage so that a woman can come on and defend my right to condemn CPAC for inviting anyone of an opposing viewpoint by claiming that I'm entitled to offer my opposing view.

So, christopher, are you citing wikipedia and youtube as reliable sources or saying that Mr. Sorba more than likely uses them as reliable source tools? Most folks would easily recognize them as neither and simply as op-ed sources.
Just requesting clarification.
I wish I was there, i would smack the cr^& out of that guy!!
MORON!!!!!!!!!
i LOVE HOW she said freedom of opinion at the end - seriously? Even if it is disgusting and offensive to the majority of the audience? So do neo-nazis have the freedom to go to CPAC and deny the holocaust. The first amendment right was originally meant to guarantee crucial rights but also to respect the rights of others as no one is guaranteed freedom of speech or assembly or anything else if they are impeding on the rights of others. This &#(*^ is impeding! i hope he got jumped and mugged after the meeting? is that not freedom of expression? I mean if we are allowed to violate anybody elses rights at any time merely by expressing are own, why not punch him in the face? Just sayin - isnt anger some natural right or whatever that idiot was saying.
Well, you would have every right to do that. Because your rights as a citizen are based on your natural rights, and in nature there would be nothing to stop you from attacking him. I, of course, disagree with this view, but hey, I'm probably not as smart as Mr. Sorba, so I'll trust his judgment.
Very little on MMfA has gotten my blood boiling like this clip did.
I thought you were trying to WIN in 2010 and 2012, GOP.
Also, I would like to thank you for giving the Dems one of the best commerials ever in politics. When they get thorugh running your hatred over and over the Cons won't have a chance.
To the liberal commercial makers, when making that commercial, use the Hannity version of the truth and have the 2 million tea baggers and the 9/12 crowd cheering in the background to what he said. We can call it 'Foxual Creative Freedom in Advertising.'
Olberman should have a field day later on with this jerk...and Maddow should debate this kid..now that is a joke. I'll bet his mom is really proud of him tonite.
The hip-hop video finger point in the middle of his little rehearsed spiel was entertaining though. Droppin knowledge, y'all, droppin knowledge.
LOL!! WHAT an idiot! He probably thinks it's okay to plagiarize as well. Sheese, I'll say it again, "idiot!"
Why has the word "enemy" become so integral to the far-right's description of every other American? That's a term that's been gaining a LOT of currency in the new-media conservative blog-jam, and while it voices a clearly a belligerant term, they use it so dramtically I just have to laugh. E.g. Breitbarts always frothing over about protecting Hanah and James from the "enemies"... ooooh, such intrigue!!!!!
I dont know why anyone should be scared of that little snark on the video, and its laughable that he might delude himself into thinking that others would be. Legend in his own mind, if I may say.
What is up with this bizarre moonie cult of angry young republicans acting like they're gangters? Who are they kidding? I mean, it actually makes me laugh, while at the same time, it seems so utterly freaked-out and annihilated.
BTW, how do you feel about shrimp, lobster, crab or pork? Like them chops much? Has all your meat come from the right end of an animal, and has it been blessed by a rabbi? Are you cool with the idea of Lot sleeping with his daughters? Do you maintain a far distance from menstrating women? Do you wash yourself obsessively after contact with them, or are those prohibitions that god has changed his mind about?
You know, it cracks me up when religious extremists flouder all over those parts of scripture that support their vanity and equivocates their bigotry, as if that's all they manage to get out of their books. And it really is quite telling that, apparently, that IS all they can get out of it.
I'm curious, though, as to what you think of the Sermon on the Mount? How often do THOSE values figure into your political rhetoric, the policies you support, or your attitudes about other people? When was the last time you gave to them who had need? (anything about Haiti?)
Considering the dismal history of genocidal brutality so endemic to your religion, you have no place to speak about what is, or is not natural OR moral... I doubt you'd know the difference (cant think of anything more unnatural than attributing human philosophies to other-worldly entities.)
---Peace, hope you can make good on the Beattitutdes, and do something of substance for someone who is truly needy. That's really the most Christian thing you can do... put your money where your mouth is, sunshine.
This is nothing new. The discrimination fighting is still on going in this country. If there was only one race of people in this country, they would still find a way to discriminate. Free Will has its benefits and its burdens! We just witnessed a burden right there with that fool!
And what does a reproductive act have to do with whom a person falls in love? Love is love no matter between who. As a person who manages 20-somethings as residents and staff members of a douple of college residence halls, I know plenty of married (or not married) folks who should never have been able to procreate. Any woman [or couple], barring physiological issues, can make/have a baby, but it takes much more to raise that progeny to adulthood responsibly which I think Mr. Sorba, and his rant indicated perfectly.
When you gather this many crazies in one place, doesn't it qualify as an insane asylum? Is that really what the Republican party is aiming for? Is this really how they wish to portray themselves? You know, everything they say is contrary to freedoms, constitutions, and everything America stands for. When the tea baggers call for "watering the tree of liberty," it would be more appropriate to water that tree with Republicans--they are the traitors in this scenario but just don't get it.
Ah, but the funny thing is we WERE allowed to speak and were represented on two panels and had a HIGHLY trafficked booth in the exhibit hall.
The crowd reax to Ryan's tirade has shot a whole in the liberal meme that conservatives hate gays.
Get ready Obama... we are coming for you. And we are a bunch of angry gays.
