California YAF Chairman Ryan Sorba Attacks YAL at CPAC

During the students activist forum at CPAC, Students for Liberty's Alexander McCobin openly thanked CPAC for inviting GOProud, a statement which received mixed reactions from the audience and boos from another speaker on McCobin's panel, Ryan Sorba.  Sorba, who helped co-found Young Conservatives of California and recently became the California YAF Chairman, used his own opportunity to speak to condemn CPAC for including GOProud.  He went on to taunt those booing him, attack YAL, and announce that YAL's executive director, Jeff Frazee, was now his enemy.

The source of his anger at YAL and Frazee is unclear:  The topic was brought up by Students for Liberty, not anyone associated with YAL.  Moreover, Frazee was entirely uninvolved in the situation (neither booing, taking sides, nor at all involved in gay rights activism) until Sorba out of the blue mentioned him on stage.

Here's a more complete video of the portion of CPAC in which all this occurred:

Let me add, Barry Goldwater would be very proud of CPAC for inviting the GOProud organization.

Barry Goldwater once said, "The big thing is to make this country, along with every other country in the world with a few exceptions, quit discriminating against people just because they're gay," Goldwater asserts. "You don't have to agree with it, but they have a constitutional right to be gay. And that's what brings me into it."

I was there when this happened, and it was very confusing why Sorba mentioned Jeff at all.  Like Peter noted, Jeff was totally uninvolved -- and of course isn't gay himself. 

In short, Sorba came off as a complete jerk; even basic decency should have limited his behavior, regardless of his views on GOProud and other gay rights groups.

However, I do agree that language is powerful and is, furthermore, most effectively employed without the use of infantile sarcasm, ad hominem attacks, and the unrelenting disdain for any mode of discourse not sufficiently banal to suit the plebeian tastes which the more cynical in our midst require. At any rate, I would suggest that if you are to contribute to the thread, perhaps offer a critique of Sorba, whom I esteem as considerably more worthy of your ire.

Ryan Sorba, chairman of California Young Americans for Freedom (YAF), was on a panel on CPAC's main stage to talk about his involvement exposing ACORN. But the previous speaker, Alexander McCobin of the CATO-affiliated Students For Liberty (SFL), had used his time at the podium to praise CPAC for including the homosexual group. fabric ducting

I totally agree. No matter what their stand is, they should remain decent enough to handle such situations. An emotional outburst right infront of the public is a major turn off.

In fact, Ryan Sorba was never the "president" of the YAF. He had a very short-term affiliation with a member of California YAF, and he was purged from the organization after that shameful display last year. graduate school personal statement
