“I would just as soon people like this were not speaking for conservatism.”

I have mixed feelings about Milo. On one hand I like anyone who attacks leftists and can drive them bat-s*** crazy. On the other he is so flaming, barely in control and over the line that it is hard to see someone like him being a spokesman for conservatism. The guy clearly has major issues and like Glenn Beck seems likely to self destruct.

It also seems that those who support Milo but are against homos place themselves in the hypocritical position of “their perverts bad, our perverts good”.

Milo isn’t a “spokesman for conservatism”. He is a defender of anti-globalism. Don’t confuse the two, many conservatives are all in for globalism and preferred Hillary to Trump. Cpac can have them.

“Poor Milo. He should have claimed that he was a Muzzie and child rape is a cultural heritage of Islam.”

He is Greek so he can claim buggery is his cultural heritage. As they say down South, at least he comes by it honest.

Agreed.

“Milo isn’t a “spokesman for conservatism”. He is a defender of anti-globalism.”

Here’s how he is described in Wiki. “As a “cultural libertarian”[5] and “free speech fundamentalist”, he is a vocal critic of fourth-wave feminism,[6] Islam, social justice, political correctness, and other movements and ideologies he deems authoritarian or belonging to the “regressive left””.

If true he seems to fit in the conservative basket well enough.

Yet the liberals had no problem with Bill Maher’s comments on Michael Jackson, when he was on Craig Ferguson’s show a few years ago. Maher said that he had been bullied, and that he would rather have been “gently fondled by a pop star” than beaten up by other kids. Ferguson cut to a commercial immediately, and Maher had the audacity to look baffled at being cut off.

Bill Maher is a creep of the first water, yet the left has no problem with giving him a pass on every horrid thing he says. But Milo makes one verbal faux pas, and he’s instantly vilified.

These attacks aimed at Milo have nothing to do wit the left this time. This is CPAC and Friends doing everything they can to shut down anyone that is effective at changing minds.

Seems to me that Milo says things he wishes he could take back or rephrase. I do that too. That just makes him like the rest of the world. I don’t agree with what he said but sadly, as a victim of abuse, he may never be able to see what happened to him clearly.

Well, he should have used his brain, before he opened his mouth.

I know, but I for one cannot cast the first stone. I say things that I want to take back or that are misunderstood all the time.

“”but if he *WAS* a liberal and was actually promoting pedophilia he would probably be their brave hero of the day.””

Absolutely correct. I saw Santorum and Granholm on with (?) Hannity or Tucker last night... Their words and the expression on Santorum’s face was like they had both just received the most devastating news of their lives. Odd combination but they were sure in sync with one another. Don’t think I’d want either of them on my jury or anyone else condemning Milo without a fair trial. He’s posted and explained and clarified his words and people still want to crucify him??

There are a ton of people like him with YouTube channels that are on the forefront battling against the hard left.

They all have had threats against them, their families, their jobs, and their relationships. Many have to hide their IDs, but still go out there, sometimes for no pay, and fight the fight.

They are in nations like Canada, Japan, Ireland, UK, Israel, Australia, and others.

Some are black, white, middle eastern, females, gay, atheists, christian, and even some “trans” people.

And incredible array of people that are not the types that GET IT, and are willing to fight the real opponent. I never imagined at first that these people would espouse right-leaning POV so confidently and effectively.

These are the people that put Trump over the top. And might I remind many here was a candidate that was attacked along the same lines as Milo is today.

But the old AM talk radio generation of conservatives will never want to be seen with most of them. They will gladly help the regressive left take them down, so they can make the world safe for Glenn Beck to cry.

If some of the people on FR are too stuck up to open their eyes to what is in front of them, and WORK TOGETHER to stop the globalists from making life a living hell for the west, then they are no better than the left themselves.

I’ll gladly stand with the misfits than fall with the self-righteous cowards.

So when can we see “real normal American humans” like you take his place?

Why do you keep insisting that normal people become self-aggrandizing attention whores?

I will ask again.

When will you self-righteous, self-aggrandizing attention whore “real conservatives” take Milo’s place?

Or is your whole deal just being friends of the left to take out people that you have some stick up your ass over?

I will keep “insulting” you creeps until you either step up or shut up.

BRAVO on your post STEP UP or shut up, Milo has a spine of steel I don’t give a DAMN that he is gay, his being gay does not affect my life in any way, his TRUE FIGHT for our freedoms affects my life in EVERY WAY!!! Milo has NEVER BEEN one PUSHING the gay agenda as a matter of fact he pushes AGAINST the gay agenda he IS a WARRIOR for free speech MINUS the PC CRAP!!! He is also a WARRIOR for the 2nd amendment, I frankly don’t give a DAMN how anyone lives their life they SHOULD have the freedom to live their life anyway they please as long as they follow the law and don’t PUSH their lifestyle on EVERYONE ELSE!!!! Milo’s life is between him and God PERIOD!!!!

But if Milo Yiannopoulos is as resourceful as he seems to be, he can probably spin this into some new chapter, flaunting these latest rejections as further marketable evidence of the dangerous persona that some folks did not have the stomach for.

 

This is true. How many times has Ann Coulter said and done things that pissed us conservatives off. Yet she is still "one of us".

Having said that; Ann never went as far as Milo has.

I suggest you check into the homosexual agenda on FR. Coprophilic behavior is not a conservative value. Read the story of Sodom and tell me about it.

Check out the homosexual agenda section on FR. They have been undermining public health, raping little boys, and attacking Christianity in league with the Muslims for several decades. .

I suggest you check out the homosexual agenda section on FR. You might want to look at same sex pedophilia too, unless you consider both mental diseases conservative values. I’m not buying it.
