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.

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.

Boycotts from the left are a badge of honor... Go for it Milo.

Homophobes! What happened to tolerance?

Now that is amusing coming from you.

Can we have another "Lying Ted" rendition from you?

He’s all about Épater la bourgeoisie. What could be more shocking to the politically correct bourgeoisie than a homosexual conservative.

“At this time, I don’t see what views he holds that anyone on FR should want to fight.”

He’s openly homosexual and brags about his sexual exploits. You don’t think anyone here would oppose that?

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.
...
Sound wisdom. ..great post.

Apparently whoever it is who tweets for “Chicago Review of Books” hates LGBTQ people.

Maybe the SPLC should add “Chicago Review of Books” to their ‘official’ list of hate groups.

He’s on our side on only one issue- Trump.

For everything else he’s on the other side.

I am aware of that. But Milo is a lot sharper than Brock ever was. He also puts himself out there and seems to mean it. But, hey, anything is possible.

Only one reason why he is on top is because of his pro-sodomy gig, which is being pushed by the Left in spades, esp. to the young. It is to mainstream and make sodomy “cool” especially to the children and to push it totally on the Right, which still resists making sodomy a “virtue” (good).

To make sodomy into a “good” is to destroy Western Civilization and return it to the pagan, satanic days of Caligula and Nero where pederasty and castration of boys and orgies were common (with the children). Read John Maynard Keynes—the Fabian Socialist who combed the streets for little boys to snatch for his homosexual orgies (his letters brag about it). He would explain where to find young boys who you could buy for a dollar and castrate and kill in his homosexual orgies. The endgame of the Fabian Socialists is to mainstream perversion so that pederasty (their perversion) could be made “good” again, like in all non-Christian cultures.

Milos is trying to make sodomy into a virtue, and flip 2000 years of Ethics-—to destroy the Christian worldview and return us to anti-rational ages (sodomy is always an irrational vice in Christianity). He appeals to children and it is particularly evil when promoting such evil, dysfunctional, degrading nihilism to children—and that is what Milos does. and why I don’t care for him.

That he understands socialism and communism—great!

But like I say, Milo is on board to flip 2000 years of ethics to the irrational, vile one of Satanism—where human beings can be used in disgusting, degraded manner (and it is “good”). Using humans in ways that destroy dignity and reason (Christianity) is using them as a Means to an End-—simply Marxism-—and he claims he hates Marxism/communism, yet he promotes it by embracing his evil, irrational lifestyle of lusting after males. He parades his evil lifestyle in ways to attract the young, and that is why he is so evil. Can’t watch him although he says many good things.

Milo will lead the lemming gay society out of democrate closet. He will introduce them to a new brand of Trump style conservatism.

While on our side, many are dismissing sodomy and its role in undermining marriage and the family (the building blocks of civilised society).

"OUR" side?

Sodomy apologists are NOT on my side. I can't speak for anyone else ...

He who is without sin... Careful with those stones.

Sin is sin. Deal with it.

(I recommend repentance as the method of dealing with it.)

This is exactly why Trump was elected. The people of “tolerance” are so intolerant that they will punish all authors of this publisher (including “liberal” ones) simply because their hate for anything different them themselves is so great! The majority of Americans are sick and tired of this.

If a person is for limited government and ending the demographic and cultural transformation of the US,

That's hilarious. Part of that "cultural transformation" is the attempt to normalize all manner of perversions ... including Milo's apparent fetish for having his rectum violated.

You must do a lot of repentance since you seem to like to throw stones.

Not entirely, he only hates LGBTQ people who refuse to stay in the plantation bath house.

I like Milo --- really I do, especially when he eviscerates the PC crapocracy --- but he definitely digs that Pedo chic. And that makes him as cool as a torn anus and as culturally healthy as the clap.
