To come clean, Milo must reveal who “Father Michael” is and report him to the police.

I suspect you have caught a case of literalitis - the same illness that causes people to misinterpret what Trump says. Did you think that there had to have been a terror attack in Sweden a few nights ago? And did you think that Trump was asking the Russians to commit espionage when he asked, in mid debate, if the Russians could help find Hillary's emails?

Watch the video. It looks like Milo is launching a joke back at the person he is debating. In other words, there is no "Father Michael"

since all Freemasons were abusing the little boys

Are you serious? So you think George Washington abused little boys? Really?

That may be a candidate for wackiest post ever.

"I must have missed the interview where Milo suggested that other people should adopt his orientation. And at least among the Christians I know there is a difference between opposition to individuals because of their own personal behavior, and opposition to political ideas, or groups who seek to impose their ideas on others. The former seems like a form of bigotry, and is inconsistent with Christian theology. If that's the way you feel you may be out of place among conservative Christians."

You're making this up as you go. The Christian opposition to homosexuality has never been reserved for those who proselytize for homosexuality and try to obtain "recruits," but is applied to those who practice homosexuality, openly and without apology. Milo is in that group.

Those who experience homosexual tendencies, but who do not act on those tendencies, are often embraced in the Christian community, as are those who experience other temptations but do not yield to them. Of course, people sometimes fail, and that requires repentance. Milo is not repentant about his homosexuality.

So, it is your view that Milo was simply joking about a Catholic priest molesting young boys?

In what world is that funny?

You know, none of us is ‘saving the world’ here.

We’re having lively discussions that we enjoy, where we share with and learn from one another and - perhaps - influence others to some extent.

FR isn’t a ‘battleground’.

I like what Milo has done to support Trump and energize young voters.

I don’t care about his personal life and sexual choices.

I think he needs to clarify what he meant and got back on track.

Conservatives are quick to eat their own and the Never Trumpwrs especially. They seem to be fine had Hillary won and appointed four SCOTUS picks.

See what he says at the press conference.

Unlikely the controversy will hurt eventual book sales. The old farts didn’t like Milo already. Too flaming.

You should visit the Conservative Treehouse. There is a post about this situation with Milo. Read the comments too. Some real smart people over there. Milo’s dialog was not about supporting pedophlia.

No, that's not what I said, nor is it what Milo intended by his statement. If you can't understand what he meant by watching him say it then you are either unable to understand statements made in a debate, and you probably think President Trump was soliciting espionage when he quipped that maybe the Russians could find Hillary's emails in the debate, or you are just spinning because you want to.

Try listening to the actual video.

“No, that’s not what I said, nor is it what Milo intended by his statement.”

Ah, thanks for clearing that up.

I was under the impression you said: “It looks like Milo is launching a joke back at the person he is debating. In other words, there is no “Father Michael””

Maybe when you said that Milio was launching a joke, you did not mean Milo was joking.

You're finally starting to get it. Milo isn't joking about a Catholic priest, because there is no "Father Michael" to be joking about.

So you can stop worrying that "Father Michael" is running around molesting boys.

Well, there was an article on FR that claimed he wanted conversion therapy, for what’s it’s worth. I am not privy to his personal thoughts, so I am not sure how much the article reflects his heart.

When someone is beginning to come out of deep deception ambivalence can be expected. I have known enough homosexual friends to know that they can be pretty confused and all over the place concerning their sexuality. I think it may be hard for sexually healthy people to fathom, though.

All the gay guys I’ve known - and their name is legion - are pretty unconflicted about their sexuality. They are, in fact, devoted to it to the exclusion of everything else, except maybe the collection of antiques...

Freepers need to get un-naive. Not a word, I know, but suits what I’m thinking.

I am very up front about my beliefs with homosexuals and give them The Gospel, which cuts to the core and brings truth out. Homosexuals may put on a brave and defient front, but underneath they are often very conflicted.

A lesbian friend did come out from it. Another friend, a man, on the verge of surgery to change sexes didn’t and after years still a man. God is able to change hearts. We must stand in the gap and pray for our sinning friends. According to Paul even the “effeminate” had repented and were part of the Church.

God does things by faith that impossible with man. Nothing is impossible for Him.

10-4 Breitbart shows any weakness here they are finished. F@%k the communists.

Supposedly Egg McMuffin's people were behind the hit. I do think it is funny that the same people condemning Milo are trying to now come out against Trump rescinding Obama's trannies in the girls room order.

I'm not sure what to think. What Milo said was not good. It was a political hatchet job, but he provided the ammo. As I said before, though, I think the true target is Trumps inner circle of support (Bannon, Miller, etc).

At any rate, Vox Day is sticking by Milo. I'll have to see if his view changes in the future.

I'm sure Trump is aware of the strategy.

They are a bunch of retarded hypocrites.

Hadn't heard of Milo until a few weeks ago and just looked up Vox Day, who doesn't take any crap from communists either.

This is a war for the country's future, the marxists fear any right wing activist that isn't old and white that might be reaching a differnt audience
