Simon & Schuster cancels book deal with Milo Yiannopoulos
Washington Times ^

Posted on 02/20/2017 2:48:00 PM PST by TigerClaws

First CPAC, now Simon & Schuster.

Milo Yiannopoulos lost a second gig Monday afternoon over his remarks defending underage pederasty, when Simon & Schuster cancelled plans to publish a book by the gay conservative provocateur this summer.

Adam Rothberg of the publisher’s public relations department made the announcement on Twitter Monday afternoon.

“After careful consideration @simonschuster and its @threshold_books have cancelled publication of Dangerous by Milo Yiannopoulos,” Mr. Rothberg wrote.

“Dangerous,” a title playing off of Mr. Yiannopoulos’s “Dangerous Faggot Tour,” had been set by a June 13 release by Threshold, the conservative- Yiannopoulos was recently disinvited from the Conservative Political Action Conference after a podcast emerged in which he appeared to endorse sexual relationships between “younger boys and older men”.

He said young boys "discover who they are" through such relationships. And even if they are sexual in nature can "give them security and safety and provide them with love and a reliable rock where they can't speak to their parents".

Yiannopoulos' $250,ooo book deal was met with significant criticism because much of he espouses racist, sexist, and transphobic from his prominent platform.

Make no mistake, this is a war and he’s a huge target for the Left to take out.
Problem is, he gave them the knife they’re stabbing him with.

I went to AMZ, they said it is not available from the chosen vendor, would I like to order it? Yes, so I ordered it again and it’s back in my basket.

AMZ sells anything and everything that makes a buck.

I defended Milo where?

On this thread I condemned man/boy love.

Go look at what Milo actually said. He said when he was 17 he had a relationship with a 29 year old man, which was legal in England.

Is homosexuality sinful before God? Yes. Should pedophiles go to jail? Yes.

I pointed out instead that the leftists S&S are more than welcoming to child sexual abusers as long as they are leftists and/or Muslim.

But, yes, if he does believe a 13 year old having sex with an adult should be allowed, that’s sick and I won’t buy or read his book.

Except the video available said he enjoyed every bit of his “child abuse” by Father Mike and taught dear Father Mike a few things.

Come on, wake up!

Not so much when they are supporting a Shara supporting Muslim to be DNC chair.

>Let’s get serious: would anyone on this website tolerate Milo’s views on sex if he were a liberal on other issues? NO!!!!!! The same people who were appalled by PizzaGate are now Milo defenders? This is absurd.

I like Milo because of the headache he causes the left. I’ve never supported his sexual choices. The fact that left and the nevertrumpers have launched a coordinated attack on him makes me want to support him. We’re at the point where we need to defend our allies from outside attack or the left and their nevertrumper allies will destroy us bit by bit.

Father Michael is a child molester and should be prosecuted.

Milo has a responsibility to turn Father Michael to the authorities.

Spot on. But of course, people are people, and seem incapable of much better.

Thanks!

I’m taking heat already for this thread!

I don’t follow Milo very closely honestly. I’ve seen the riots in California. I tried watching his speeches but he’s a bit too gay. I watched the Maher clip and he seemed to have done okay there.

He’s not a Republican. He’s not ‘alt right.’ He’s a gay libertarian who happens to like Trump.

Not sure why he’s so controversial until this came up honestly. I know he called the Ghostbusters black girl ugly. She admitted that helped her career and she originated some of the N-word tweets that followed.

But again, for the record, I’M AGAINST PEDOPHILES and those condoning it should be shunned for having those opinion.

CPAC was right to cancel.

I’ll listen though to what Milo’s explanation is whenever it comes. Maybe the MSM is lying again.

LOL, I ordered it too. I really didn’t have any interest in reading it since I’m strictly a fiction reader but I’ll give it a try.

So how do the bits of information you cited do anything to refute the points Milo made in his post?

Answer - they don't.

Have a nice day.

>started attacking ordinary Americans who had weight problems

Shaming people who are fat is the most effective way to reduce obesity. This is coming from a former fat guy who’s friend mocked me until I lost the weight.

They have cleaned him out of many pages except tech.

Best thing to do is lay low.

Milo is effective. This is not only about him, but stopping the populist movement, Breitbart et al. They will soon come for FR.

His Facebook page has his video rebuttal and apology. He says the incriminating video takes snippets from different interviews edited to make it seem they were coterminous. And he apologized for using terminology that could be misinterpreted.

I agree with you. I am really saddened to see so many piling on him.
