And Now, Your CPAC Homophobia Moment

Politics • Views: 4,156

Ryan Sorba of California Young Americans for Freedom, who participated in the San Bernardino ACORN investigation, condemns CPAC for allowing gay Republican group GOProud to attend, then gets into a screaming match with part of the audience, yelling, “The lesbians at Smith College protest better than you do.”

Youtube Video itYrXhhnHRE

This is a sign of a growing schism in the ranks — the libertarian members of the new hard-edged conservatism are more inclined to be tolerant on the “social” issues like homosexuality, while the religious right contingent has an antipathy for gay rights that has reached a fever pitch recently.

It's not the whole crowd booing. There's a particular segment that obviously has history with him.

Continuing on from my little observation downstairs, the "conservative" coalition is unstable.

The only way to make it work is that envisioned by the Gary North's of the world, who see the US falling apart, so that each little Balkanized unit can follow their own doctrines.

That is one reason why the Confederacy is so appealing to these people. If each little unit was more autonomous then each could follow their own little culture: Baptists here, Pentacostals there, Libertarians across the desert, etc.

These people revile Abe Lincoln because Lincoln had a vision of the US as open-ended time wise, as something that could endure.

The "conservative" coalition, contra to their cries about Obama being anti-American, are the real political threat to what is known (post-Lincoln) as the United States.

Good on them for booing him. Seriously why does the guy care so much about what gays do. If someone's going to be gay, why give a shit, it doesn't effect you at all. I wonder though why he was booed from the start. Either they knew he was going to say something stupid shit or he's rubbed some people the wrong way on other issues in the past.

True. If they want young voters they'll also have to get rid of racists like Buchanan, Coulter and Malkin. Very few people under 40 will tolerate bigotry.

32 AK-47%  Fri, Feb 19, 2010 3:18:42pm

We are seeing one of the cracks (so to speak) in the Republican party's relationship with the conservative movement: there were fiscally conservative Republicans who saw gays as a potential source of support: they tended to be higher earners with more disposable income and fewer tax deductions for children or large suburban homes, which made them a lot more open to the Republican platform of lower taxes and lower government spending.

But that does not fit in with the moral conservatives who still see gays as an abomination unto the lord who need to be cured of their illness before it corrupts the rest of society and undermines family values.

They have just collided head-on.

Howabout homophones?

42 keloyd  Fri, Feb 19, 2010 3:25:33pm

I have yet another wacky theory based on other big conventions I've had to attend. If it's a big thing, the booths that are smaller, in the adjoining rooms, or otherwise lower-rent will always have the nutters who should not be considered represantative of the group.

At a big financial shindig like 13 years ago, I saw (as an audience member) both Jerry Yang, founder of Yahoo, and Louis Rukeyser, the financial TV guru from PBS. His smart, witty, and rather patrician 30 minutes, once a week, was the predecessor of CNBC, Jim Cramer, and all the rest of today's antics. Long story short, a walk through the smaller stalls would show the gold bug people, oily looking characters with a magic black box and get-rich-quick seminars to sell, tiny and shady companies with some special oil drilling patent looking for suckers rubes investors, etc. The people who run these things prefer the extra income from renting more booths to keeping the image clean. I think it's the same for CPAC. They're more interested in filling the room and getting more cash to pay more big shot speakers and damn the consequences of letting in the nuts.

Thanos, he stated that "civil rights are based on natural rights", and then went on to explain that homosexuality was not a right because it was "unnatural".

Aside from the fact that research indiates that homosexuality is not an unnatural state among humans and other species, it is a patently fallacious argument.

What about the right of the Pursuit of Happiness? Is there anything about practicing homosexuality that infringes on anyone else's pursuit of happiness? I don't see it.

51 HappyWarrior  Fri, Feb 19, 2010 3:30:51pm

I did a search on Sorba because I was curious and apparently he's got an article "debunking" homosexuality as a choice. Yeah Sorba my gay cousin chose to be gay so he could have dipshits like you calling him a pervert and sinner because of who he chooses to love. I really would respect the modern conservative movement so much more if they stopped making these the issues they focused on most. Sigh, I know there are plenty of reasonable conservatives out there but their voices are being drowned out by the crazies.

This seems too foolish to actually have been real. I would expect that attitude to have been more accepted by those in attendance. This seems almost staged to make the GOP appear more supportive of GOProud than they really are.

3. Well, at least the crowd yelled him down.

56 keloyd  Fri, Feb 19, 2010 3:32:13pm

Time for me to put on the hazmat suit and gloves again to defend my boy Pat Buchanan. On one hand, we have political hacks like Malkin or some Fox News writers who want to make themselves popular by fear-mongering against the dreaded outsider - e.g. the homosexual, interracial married illegal immigrant couple who are coming to take yer job.

Buchanan is different. His (distinctly old school) reading of human nature is that we all just are wired for fightin unless we separate into our own neighborhoods or countries or separate but equal churches. That may fall within a broad definition of 'racism', but it is not as inherently evil, imho. It's just his own contrarian hot headed Irish temperament + a huge brain + orthodox, pre Vatican II thinking + he's old.

Indeed, Natural rights go back to Grecian times, and they didn't have problems with someone being Gay. To the CPAC'ers "Natural Rights" is shorthand for "god given as in the bible". They don't understand the real concept of Universal Natural Rights at all.

You're looking at it from the wrong perspective, nuclear annihilation was nothing compared to the existential threat these guys think gays pose to their buttholes.

It's science!


Gays would never launch a nuclear attack, they would just use the threat of it to get us to asume the "duck and cover" position, and then it would be too late - they would have us just where they wanted us...

Agreement on Obdicut's #16 and Killgore's #23.

Unfortunately, it will be difficult to shed the bigotry, as it seems inextricably tied to certain portions of the religious right who seem true-believers that homosexuals are an affront to God. I'm uncertain that segment of conservatives is really gathering more support of late, or is just being more vocal. Either way, I wish it wasn't the case.

The "mistakes" you point out seem to focus on the conclusions others have drawn from Buchanan's words and behaviors - and not errors of fact.

How does practicisng homosexuality impinge or threeaten other peoples' rights?

That "Real Men Marry Women" bumper sticker (again)
[Link: images.politico.com...]

The "Real Men Marry Women" is a bumper sticker from Concerned Women for America.

Concerned Women for America is a Conservative Christian political action group active in the United States. The group was founded in 1979 by Beverly LaHaye, wife of Christian Coalition of America co-founder Timothy LaHaye, as a response to activities by the National Organization for Women and a 1978 Barbara Walters interview with noted feminist Betty Friedan...

Also see:

Timothy LaHaye believes that the Illuminati is secretly engineering world affairs. In Rapture Under Attack he wrote:

I myself have been a forty-five year student of the satanically-inspired, centuries-old conspiracy to use government, education, and media to destroy every vestige of Christianity within our society and establish a new world order. Having read at least fifty books on the Illuminati, I am convinced that it exists and can be blamed for many of man's inhumane actions against his fellow man during the past two hundred years

Wendy Wright was the speaker for Concerned Women of America at the CPAC conference.

President Obama's actions show a malevolence toward this country that is daily getting harder to deny. Our Founding Fathers forsaw this possibility and gave us, the people, the responsibility to impeach such a president when he commits "misdemeanors" against the United States of America.

Over 150,000 citizens have already signed the petition and are making their voices heard!

No, but once the gay-coddling federal government breaks down, there would be nothing to prevent the gun-toting, god-fearing Christian militias from exterminating the gays. Makes sense in its own perverse logic...

Exactly right, Ralph. But in addition, the survival fantasist envisions that the post-nuke world would finally allow him to achieve his true potential; living off the land, keeping riotous minorities at bay with buckshot, making Jews and pointy-headed intellectuals quake in fear, and perhaps surrounding himself with a harem of college babes who would naturally abandon their prissy metrosexual boyfriends for a real man when, well, survival required it.

My response was to ask how much combat he had seen in his life. None at all, it turns out. At least he was honest about that.

Today Berg appeared at CPAC, handing out a leaflet promoting his ObamaCrimes website (it argues that the president is a “citizen of Indonesia”) and seeking out reporters to promote his case...

I know there is, but I don't know that they have the pull to drown out the megachurch dominionist crowd. "Othering" is a powerful political strategy. And they sort of started the tea-party movement, but it was pretty quickly taken away from them and coopted by Dick Armey's Freedomworks. I wouldn't bet on libertarians becoming the driving philosophical leaders of...anything, really. ;-)

re: #206 WindUpBird

yep. If they are percieved as bigoted, they make conservative Democrats out of people who might otherwise be part of their scene.

It's a strategy that will probably help us in the long run but will lead to more tragedy in the short.
Because gays are so much more accepted now in day to day life, the religious right has had to ratchet up the crazy in order to keep the faithful in line: gays not only want to recruit your children these days, but they have as a specific, articulated goal the destruction of the family, marriage as an institution, and a/the church, the weakening of America, the lowering of sexual consent ages across the board, the erosion of America's military, and so on. That's not even counting our desire to teach fisting to kindergardeners and drag priests from the pulpit if they preach Leviticus.
This results in a hardening of opinion against gay rights among a segment of the populace, and the tragic passage of Prop 8 is the best example of this, but eventually, one of these dyed-in-the-wool religious people meets a gay person... and all of the BS they've been told just doesn't seem to apply to the flesh-and-blood friend/uncle/daughter/employee/soldier in front of them.

re: #262 torrentprime

It's a strategy that will probably help us in the long run but will lead to more tragedy in the short.
Because gays are so much more accepted now in day to day life, the religious right has had to ratchet up the crazy in order to keep the faithful in line: gays not only want to recruit your children these days, but they have as a specific, articulated goal the destruction of the family, marriage as an institution, and a/the church, the weakening of America, the lowering of sexual consent ages across the board, the erosion of America's military, and so on. That's not even counting our desire to teach fisting to kindergardeners and drag priests from the pulpit if they preach Leviticus.
This results in a hardening of opinion against gay rights among a segment of the populace, and the tragic passage of Prop 8 is the best example of this, but eventually, one of these dyed-in-the-wool religious people meets a gay person... and all of the BS they've been told just doesn't seem to apply to the flesh-and-blood friend/uncle/daughter/employee/soldier in front of them. Since many, many of these RR people ARE good people at heart, the lies can't stand up to what they see.

Long-term: awesome. Short-term: painful.

We still got conservative spokesmen like Rick Santorum who see homosexuality as the moral equivalent of bestiality and child abuse. That view will not go away, even if it is a minority opinion, because they are so vehemently vocal about it.

Being able to claim that gay marriage or gay rights in general are part of a leftist agenda is the last rhetorical refuge for people like Sorba. GOProud takes that away from him and all political pretense is dropped. His naked bigotry is left fully exposed.

Actually, the father of conservatism, Edmund Burke, would agree with Sorba on natural rights. Burke wrote -

Now I completely DISAGREE with Burke and Sorba.

My point is that when a conservative talks "natural rights" prepare to hear some real bullshit.

Ok, back now. There may be some gaps in my knowledge about Pat Buchanan. I've never read his books. I am also used to positive karma here. My direct knowledge consists of seeing him be the genial old dinosaur on MSNBC that everyone seems to like. When he and Rachel Maddow debate, they are genuinely friendly. The way he is treated by liberal colleagues who know him personally is inconsistent with him being something akin to David Duke.

Here's the dirt I know beyond his Wiki page - he's blunt, isolationist, and mistaken on many things, but that is not sufficient to prove racism/antisemitism/etc. His occasional comments on Franco and the Spanish civil war while on MSNBC made my jaw drop, not so much in a good way. He supported that alleged Nazi guard Demjanjuk and got a lot of flack for it in the early 90s. Only he and the Israeli court system had the cool heads to see the evidence was vague, and mistaken identity was possible. (More evidence showed up in recent months, so he's back on trial again, but that's another matter.) His recent book about whether Hitler could have been handled better to avoid WW2 sounds hard to defend. Still, the media has mischaracterized complex and nuanced books in the past. That's a close call. Beyond this, how is his behavior in the last 2 decades beyond typical conservative thought? He also was against the Iraq war, so that pays some karma lost from that disconcerting/naive/possible-crypto-Nazi-dog-whistle Hitler book.

Seriously, I'd rather learn something than participate in a flame war. Post some substantive links, and I will take a look late tonight. I will not change my mind after reading "fuck you and your username is teh stoopid" before I've even had my fortifying after hours Guiness. Seriously, I'm not afraid to change my mind.

I think it was wrong for the homosexual group to shout Ryan down. Fascist liberal scum are the ones who usually want to shut down free speech. All Ryan wanted to do was speak in support of traditional values - something 99% of Conservatives agree with. Do we really want to teach our kids that it's normal for a male to sexually fetishise the excretory organs of other males? It seems common sense that most people would oppose normalizing homosexual sodomy and AIDS. Yet a bunch of militant thugs were allowed to boo Ryan off the stage. Totally unacceptable in my opinion.

My non-blogging responsibilities kept me from getting back to this Buchanan business til now. "Iconoclastic temperament" is the thing about Pat. I am still letting the brain ruminate on where the line is between nuttiness/iconoclasm and proper antisemitism. OTOH, watch him as a guest on Christ Matthews or Maddow or that morning show. (I don't know watch Olbermann to know if he's ever there.) Liberals seem to really like him now, at least as the lovable crazy uncle. Has he reformed? a bit? How much should we count dirt on him that's 20 years old? Certain hot heads in here seem to think he's another David-Duke, but I need less contradictory evidence for that.
