Milo’s ‘Dangerous’ shoots to Amazon top slot; Liberal celebrities’ support of boycott backfires
The Washington Times ^ | December 30, 2016 | Douglas Ernst

Posted on 12/31/2016 7:18:32 AM PST by southern rock

Simon & Schuster’s decision to publish a book by Breitbart News’ Milo Yiannopoulos appears to be paying off with retailer Amazon despite calls from liberal celebrities for a boycott.

Mr. Yiannopoulos announced Thursday that he was given a $250,000 contract by publishing giant Simon & Schuster. His pronouncement that irate critics only fuel his fame did not dissuade Hollywood entertainers like Sarah Silverman and Judd Apatow from joining calls for a boycott. “Dangerous” shot to the No. 1 slot on the U.S. Amazon Best Seller list less than 24 hours later.

“In response to this disgusting validation of hate, we will not cover a single @simonschuster book in 2017,” Chicago Review of Books tweeted Thursday.

Milo may be `on our side', but buggery is still buggery.

I was just on Amazon looking for concentrated bacon fragrance oil used for soaps and candles.

They’re trying to take Milo down on Facebook with libs posting about how Milo is lying to his conservative base and will turn on conservatives and the ‘alt right’ once he makes his money.

Milo is an enigma. He knows what he is doing is wrong and admits as much but still engages in it.

I will never know what the homosexual temptation is like, but having faced my own temptations I can believe that it is real. And that it is a terrible thing to endure. Many succumb to it. But many succumb to other temptations also.

"The spirit is willing, it the flesh is weak."

Milo, and all who earnestly struggle with this, deserve our prayers Although I confess, it is much easier to do such a thing for those who are more private in their "practices" than for those who threaten the florists and bakeries and pizza parlors.

Amazon’s bestseller list is probably the most accurate of all the lists like the NY Slime’s list.

The Clinton, Obozo books and other liberal books seldom have any real ranking on the Amazon bestseller lists.

How is Meagain’s book doing on Amazon?

Keep those boycotts coming, leftists. That’s the best use of your time, next to making giant puppets for your unfocused protests about anything and everything. And don’t try to make your own version of our “Tea Party” — you were right to make fun of it, and you were so very correct that it wouldn’t change anything. Just continue to lurch from one non-mainstream cause to another, always at full volume.

Don’t you just hate haters who say they are hating on haters who really aren’t haters.

OK, now I’m dizzy.

It’s like chasing the end of a worm Ouroboros.

So? He's on our side. I really don't care who he buggers.

Book burning minus the flames. How liberal and tolerant.

Nobody has done more to expose the liberal hypocrisy than that dangerous faggot, Milo.

As for the buggary, nobody is asking you or me to join in, or for a blessing so let’s celebrate what Milo has accomplished...and nothing more.

Certainly better than all the ‘adult coloring books’ littering Amazon nowadays. Milo is kicking feminist and SJW ass on college campi at the moment...more power to him.

While the type of sin is different, anyone who battles food addiction or alcohol-—or yes, even exercise addition-—knows that ultimately “all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.”

Not an excuse, but an acknowledgment that no one is perfect.

"Mr. Yiannopoulos added that although there are “fringe factions” of the so-called “alt-right,” those individuals want nothing to do with a “Jewish homosexual” who is romantically involved with black men."

You can hardly come up with a better example than this to illustrate the fallacy of the "ad hominem" attack -- it's what is said, not who says it, or how much you like or dislike the person, that matters. Keep this in mind if you are teaching social conventions to a "slow" child, or if you are trying to have a discussion with one of the "smarter" leftists.

I don’t think he’s struggling much. He just said proudly on FB this morning that “he’s a bottom.” What a slob.

LOL. I put in my cart. Not sure if I’ll actually buy the hardcover. But will buy the paperback.

“The enemy of your enemy is your friend.”

Maybe. I prefer to consider him an “ally” and not a “friend”. That way it is easier to shift gears to fighting him when we have finally defeated the enemy that made us allies in the first place.
