An aide to Orange County Executive Edward Diana is under fire after he and his friends invited some of the nation's brightest Young Republicans to what was advertised as a booze-soaked sex bash in Boston. The controversy surrounding Diana's 24-year-old staff assistant, Karl Brabenec, started at the Young Republicans national convention July 11, when his friends distributed fliers "for lots of beer, liquor and sex" at a party dubbed, "Karlpalooza '03." Since then, copies of the incriminating invites have surfaced in Orange County, prompting cries of disgust from women's groups, county legislators and fellow Republicans. The furor reached a fever...

With their ranks swelling on college campuses, young conservatives say they are revolutionaries fighting a liberal establishment. They're meeting in D.C. this week to promote the cause. They've come to hear words of wisdom from Ferris Bueller scene stealer Ben Stein, funkadelic music promoter Reginald Jones, bomb-throwing bombshell Ann Coulter, and the impossible-to-squelch G. Gordon Liddy, among others. They're here to tour Capitol Hill, hear a lecture on "the failures of feminism," and hang out with others of their kind. The 187 high school and college students attending the 25th Annual National Conservative Student Conference that began Sunday and ends...

BOSTON (Talon News) -- Michael Mack was narrowly elected the next chairman of the Young Republican National Federation (YRNF) on Saturday, defeating opposition candidate Mike Flory to move up one rank from his former position of national co-chairman. Concerns about the integrity of the election process have been widespread since the convention began, however, and became especially pronounced after the official tally was announced. At the YR National Board Meeting on Sunday, Flory filed a complaint to investigate the charges. An official complaint would involve the establishment of a "dispute resolution" committee, led by the chairman of the YR State...

Tempers Flare at Young Republicans Convention as Delegates Clash over Amendments By Stephen Dewey Talon News July 12, 2003 BOSTON (Talon News) -- The Young Republicans convention broke down into shouting and some physical contact on Friday as delegates for opposing tickets clashed over amendments being considered by the Young Republican National Federation's (YRNF) Constitution and By-Laws Committee. Such amendments would realign the YRNF's administrative regions to match those of the RNC, easing cooperation between the two organizations. The change would also provide legitimacy to the ticket of Mike Flory and DeAnna Brangers. Currently, Brangers would be ineligible to serve...

The New Black Panther Party leader was invited for what was billed as an "open-minded dialogue" during the group's annual meeting. The crowd, mostly white males, warmed up to the bombastic leader once he said he does not hate them or other whites, supports the GOP's stance on family values, opposes affirmative action, and belongs to the National Rifle Association. But the most spirited applause came when Quanell X described Democrats as "pimps" who often trick blacks into supporting them, only to betray them once elected. Quanell X also had caustic comments about the Republican Party, which he called a...

Forget Gangs of New York. For more than a decade, a bitter battle has raged between two competing groups. There were document grabs and threats of lawsuits. During the darkest years, the chief of one group was brought up on federal charges of attempting to have his rival killed — only to have the murder plot turn out to be a frame-up. No, it’s not the Dead Rabbits versus the Plug Uglies. It’s the New York Young Republican Club versus the New York Young Republican Club, a conflict between two groups of button-down, not-all-that-young men and women who share a...
