Politics: More from Ryan Sorba, the gay-bashing conservative at CPAC

  • I think it’s the result of a complex process of social and environmental factors, but that it’s reversible.
  • Conservative gay-basher Ryan Sorba • Regarding his opinion on homosexuality. He was confronted about the issue by Alex Knepper, an American University student who is a gay conservative. Sorba was pretty much a jerk to Knepper, saying that Knepper had a lisp and went on about how homosexuality wasn’t a part of natural law. Sorba is a bizarre little part of the conservative movement, one who probably will be forgotten after CPAC. But man, he and his fringe opinions are so much fun to criticize now! source

Politics: Glenn Beck: The GOP just as bad as Democrats on spending

  • Hello, my name is the Republican Party, and I have a problem! I’m addicted to spending and big government.
  • Glenn Beck • Speaking at CPAC last night as if the Republican Party was at an AA meeting. The Fox News and radio host noted that both parties had big problems with spending during his speech – Democrats tax and spend, while Republicans just spend. Beck said that as a result, people were losing faith that things would improve. Beck’s comparison holds weight – between this and the Debbie Medina thing, he’s actually starting to sound smart! How did this happen? Is there hope for Glenn Beck yet? source

Politics: Ryan Sorba: How did this gay-bashing jerkbag get on CPAC’s stage?

  • Ryan Sorba, shown in this clip here, bashed CPAC for bringing a gay conservative organization, GOProud, as a sponsor. And his arguments make him sound like a massive bigot. And he got booed pretty impressively. Hey, bigoted assclown, you’re supposed to be bringing more people under your tent, not less, OK? It’s pretty awesome that a huge conference of ultra-conservatives won’t put up with this kind of bigotry. source

Politics: The GOP has to use video games to entice young conservatives

  • We’re gonna have the most popular games. There’ll be Guitar Hero. There’ll be Dance Revolution. There’ll be Call of Duty.
  • Radio Host Kevin McCullough • Regarding some of the techniques CPAC, the Conservative Political Action Conference, plans to use to draw a younger, hipper audience. Hip-hop will also be playing in the background, because that’s what the kids like. Last year at CPAC, Rush Limbaugh famously said that he hoped Obama failed, which was the first touch of resistance the then-made-of-Teflon president felt. To us, a video game room hosted by Michael Steele seems like a significant “we’re trying too hard” downgrade. source

  • Rahm Emanuel • President Obama’s chief of staff, talking about Rush Limbaugh’s scene at the Conservative Political Action Conference on Saturday night. • source
