The Gay Infiltration of the Conservative Movement
http://www.rightsidenews.com/201002228786/editorial/the-gay-infiltration-of-the-conservative-movement.html

<snip>

California Young Americans for Freedom (YAF) chairman Ryan Sorba generated a media controversy when he was shown at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) denouncing the organizers for inviting a homosexual Republican group, GOProud, into the event as an official sponsor. In "controversial" remarks, Sorba said homosexuality was unnatural and that he welcomed more debate and discussion about the subject from his political adversaries.

But what many people don't realize is that Sorba's "outburst" was provoked by a speaker who preceded him, Alexander McCobin of Students For Liberty (SFL).

McCobin went out of his way to use valuable time from the podium to thank the American Conservative Union, the main CPAC organizer, for making the controversial decision to approve GOProud's participation.

David Keene, a lobbyist, is the chairman of the ACU and personally approved GOProud's involvement in CPAC.

Sorba told AIM, "I think CPAC went overboard this year. I don't think he should be sitting at the top of CPAC." He noted that CPAC over the last several years has also allowed groups such as the ACLU to have exhibits at the event.

"What's next?," Sorba asked. "Are they going to have Republicans for Obamacare? Republicans for free abortions?"

1. Absolutely high-larious to watch this FREAK OUT over gays at CPAC
I swear the density and regressive nature of half of these diehard freeper types is going to do the whole damned Republican party in. You can't turn back the clock. You can't demand people live closeted lives and lie like they had to 100 years ago. That genie ain't goin back in the bottle.

Check out this freeper blog by LOL "Thurston Howell" moaning about the horrible lack of morals in today's conservatives. Yeah why can't they MORAL! Like Sanford and Ensign and Larry Craig!

3. "he welcomed more debate and discussion about the subject from his political adversaries"
Is this their interpretation of obnoxious, immature taunting like "bring it"?
