were cleared of any wrongdoing in a 2008 voter intimidation case, the organization’s chairman announced that the New Black Panthers aren’t done harassing people for no apparent reason.
In a videotaped interview 
Speaker Ryan Sorba triggered a shouting match at the Conservative Political Action Conference earlier today when he condemned the conference’s decision to invite conservative gay group GoProud to the event. Sorba suggested that homosexuality is unnatural and that civil rights only extend to “natural rights.”
Sorba then challenged those who shouted at him to “sit down” by comparing them to the lesbian activist protesters that stormed the podium shortly after his speech at Smith College nearly two years ago. Smith was promoting his book The Born Gay Hoax at the time.
Note, though, that just before Ryan Sorba was booed off stage for condemning CPAC for inviting gay group GoPride to the event, Students for Liberty’s Alexander McCobin was shouted down for praising the group’s invite. The incident underscores how divided CPAC attendees are on the issue of homosexuality — though, of course, far more shouted in favor of McCobin than against him.
