The strangest part of yesterday was seeing Milo Yiannopoulous's increasingly sincere Facebook posts, as the awful realisation dawned on him - as it dawned on Nigel Farage during the referendum - that the sweet shelter of the mainstream right was being withdrawn from him. When he had attacked his female peers in the London tech scene, when he attacked transgender people for being "mentally ill", when he attacked an actor for the temerity to be black, female and funny in a jumpsuit, he was given licence. He was provocative, starting a debate, exercising his free speech. But yesterday he found out that there is always a line. For the right, it's child abuse - because children, uniquely among people who might be sexually abused, are deemed to be innocent. . . .
I would not be surprised if this isn't the end of Milo Yiannopoulos's career, and I will watch with keen interest what strategies he will use for his rehabilitation. He's still got his outlaw cachet, and there are still plenty of outlets where the very fact that people are objecting to a speaker is assumed to mean they have something that's worth hearing. And there are plenty more ideas that some on the right would be happy to see pushed a little further into the mainstream - with plausible deniability, of course. If that's the extreme, then the mainstream shifts imperceptibly with every new provocation. Because he's not one of us, oh no. They're not, either. But you see, they must be heard. And provocateurs are useful, until they're not. But it's not the left who decides when that is. Only the mainstream right can stop the extremists on their flanks.

Milo has game!
Exactly. They must be thrilled at this upset.
Milo is a bad boy. All queers are bad boys. That is their thing.
This is beginning to feel like the day after the Access Hollywood tapes came out. Milo is not done yet.
Dirty little secret.
Most gays are NOT monogamous and sexual relationships with teenagers are far more common and accepted. Just sayin.
Milo will regain my respect if he pledges abstinence.
Perhaps Milo should aim his effective persuasive powers against the gay community’s acceptance of engaging the under aged in sexual activities.
It’s the only way he can show he’s serious.
He’s already acknowledged that he is outside of the mainstream gay community. Milo should use this position to fight for future child victims, and restore credibility with the right leaning thinkers here and elsewhere.
Someone pointed out that Lena Dunham has enjoyed mainstream success and Kristie leftist praise as a spokesclown for Hitlery....the same Lena Dunham has apparently admitted to molesting her little sister for many years.
Yet no backlash goes against LD.
As demonstrated by a Trillion printed dollars of stimulus on the way. The reservoir crisis didn’t happen overnight. The art of the deal money for votes and unions deal where we get shanked, the working class.
Please strike the word Kristie from my previous post. I have no idea how it got there.
There, much better. Freaks.
Representing just 3 or 4 percent of the population, being queer is not "populist." Rather, it's pathetic.
I just thought you were being Kristie sublime.
Milo brought this on himself. He has been saying and doing things which are revolting and totally against what most people would find decent.
Even his first video at the Gays for Trump party in Cleveland had pics of teen boys as the backdrop.

Do Christian gay conversion therapy, become loud spokesman for such therapy and the dangers gay men pose to teenage boys, watch the social justice warrior’s heads explode, reap the benefits of fame and fortune.
I guess the question then would be was he ever really gay.
Freegards
I’ve been a little concerned that this guy is another David Brock.
Ride the conservative money train to the end then end up a Soros minion.
Why do u think that many women like the effeminate gays?
I had to look up David Brock to realize that you weren’t talking about the dude from Hawkwind back in the day.
I’m not down with someone who thinks pedophilia is normal.
Yup, sad to see parts of the Right embrace deviancy up!
Representing just 3 or 4 percent of the population, being queer is not “populist.” Rather, it’s pathetic.
Yeah, but at least 50% of the population, probably more have gays in their family, friends, or workplace. They love and admire these people. This gay bashing does not help our cause at all.
Also, Milo has done more to get the belly of the beast to stop beating up on Christians than most on here typing in Bible verses. There is one war going on right now, it is we the people vs. the globalists. cpac only invited Milo so they could loudly disinvite him. Disgusting.
