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.

‘Twas ever thus. Happy New Year to you and your tribe. Sporty times a-comin’.
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.
Homophobes! What happened to tolerance?
He is single handedly dismantling the vile culture in campuses all over the country and giving voice and courage to fight back to the many conservative students who up til now have been treated like lepers.
And he is doing this while taking incredible abuse, though he is just as good dishing it out.
Politics makes strange bedfellows. I support him 100% and I’m buying his book.
There is pitching and catching.
I think that allows the curious to figure it out.
Amen. The world is upside down-I see many posters at the DUmp talking about how they’re getting guns now, and changing their minds on gun control (all depends on whose ox is getting gored, isn’t it? They’re talking about pushing for yet another “entitlement” for monorities, guess what freebie they want to give them now at taxpayer expense!)
While on our side, many are dismissing sodomy and its role in undermining marriage and the family (the building blocks of civilised society).
Right back at you my friend. May your New Year be happy, healthy, and prosperous.
Best,
L
He who is without sin...
Careful with those stones.
At this time, I don't see what views he holds that anyone on FR should want to fight.
... now engage in a disgusting validation of hate.
I can only take Milo in small doses. The over-the-top queer schtick gets tiresome pretty quickly. He’d better seize his 15 minutes of fame fast and hang on to it for dear life, because he’s got the staying power of Beatle boots.
That was nicely put.
Milo is a Free Speech agitator.
You can disagree with the other 99% of who he is.
But he’s so incredibly anti-Political-Correctness, that he’s generally on our side and a total hoot.
It definitely does, but it's funny coming from him because of the words coming from his mouth.
I am done with the practice of expecting perfection from people, in order to consider them to be "on our side".
If a person is for limited government and ending the demographic and cultural transformation of the US, then he is my brother.
And while understanding and agreeing with many of the points raised (at least philosophically), esp re privacy, I still find it a vile thing.
But that's just me, and ymmv.

To me, it’s like Putin. Putin may be on Trump’s side for the moment, but aggression and tyranny is still aggression and tyranny.
Quite a few liberal men support gun rights (not as many women) and always have. Many of them were Reagan democrats that converted to independents or Republicans over the years but a lot of them still consider themselves liberals.
Bingo - and I will likely buy it as well (still have a couple books in the queue to read)
