Berkeley Blowback: Milo Book Sales Soar 12,740% Overnight
Zero Hedge ^ | 2/2/17 | Tyler Durden

Posted on 02/02/2017 7:42:02 PM PST by markomalley

Following the violent anti-free-speech protests in Berkeley, California last night - sparked by cal's special snowflakes hurt feelings at the potential words that would come out of Milo Yiannopoulos' mouth during a sold-out event - it appears America's curiousity has been piqued.

Sales of Milo's book have increased 12,740% overnight sending it rocketing from 642nd to 5th ranked best-seller on Amazon. Pretty impressive considering the book is not even released until March 14th 2017.

Source: Amazon.com

When the book was first announced last year, a twitter storm also sparked panic-buying of the book.

So despite all the best efforts of the liberal intelligentsia to shut down his 'free-speech' last night - hurting the feelings of 600 conservatives who were looking forward to the event - we suspect a lot more than 600 Americans are now about to get a crash course in how Milo thinks.

Is this ON the UC Campus? If so, they have their own police depart. Also the chancellor bears some responsibility if the BPD refused to provide help then the chancellor should have gone to the governor.

No, it's actually good that he's gay. Remember how God can use imperfect vessels to do his will.

The fact that Milo is gay causes no end of cognitive dissonance in the Leftist masses. It's just like having Black conservatives hold elective office: it drives them mad, I tell you...

Sorry, I didn’t mean any disrespect. I’m just saying from a gal’s point of view it’s a shame he’s gay because he’s so darn good looking. I’m a big fan of his.

Janet Napolitano former head of Homeland Security is now the president of UC Berkeley. She once called tea party protesters (among others) potential terrorists.

That is a GREAT picture. Milo is awesome and has plenty of guts! He refuses to be cowed by the nitwits and bullies of the left.

Go easy on the females here who sigh because Milo is homo.

But you are 100% correct that Milo’s niche is being a courageous homo conservative. He would not achieve his level of notoriety without the combination of those three traits.

However, I bet he’d still be notorious if he were a courageous straight conservative given his humor and charisma. Even if he were straight, he’d still be a success.

Funny. The anti-fascist left burns universities while the Nazis burned books. Hmmm.

Wifey was impressed after watching him on Tucker’s show tonight.

Now I’ve got to order his book on Amazon Prime.
