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.

Nice personal attack. It's utterly meaningless, of course.

I notice that you did not address the point.

Sin is sin.

Even I, a sinner, can see that.

Thank you. The ease with which some embrace depravity and perversion ... even to the point of denying that depravity is depravity and perversion is perversion ... is truly appalling.

I don’t understand homosexual attraction, either. One thing I understand even less is how many gays are attracted to leftism rather than capitalism or libertarianism. Most communist regimes are hostile to homosexuals. The left champoins Islamism, and the Islamists persecute and kill gays. Leftists are always judging people, labeling them, fitting them into stereotypes. The leftists want to monitor and control almost every aspect of your life. Islamists want to kill those they disagree with. Most Christians and I would say most conservatives in general just want to be left alone but somehow we are a big threat to gays.

He has been doing so for some time now.

I work with a couple of gay Trump voters who worship this man. They’re millenials in the LGBT social media trenches having it out with convention. Milo’s doing something great here.

He’s on our side on only one issue- Trump. For everything else he’s on the other side.

Really? On what issue is he on the other side?

“our side” as in “red team vs blue team”. Because the way I see supposed long-held principles being turned on their heads-on both sides, I might add, DUmpsters are talking about ditching the left’s long-held support for gun control-what else does it amount to? (Some DUmpsters have even raised the point of creating a new entitlement” for minorities, because God Knows that black people can’t access guns now, no matter what their SE level-lol. I just can’t figure out how the highest rates of gun crime come from the same place with the highest rates of government dependence, in areas with the most stringent gun grabber laws in the nation).

“He’s on our side on only one issue- Trump. For everything else he’s on the other side.”

Have you actually watched/listened to him speak on conservative issues? He’s brilliant. He’s also on our side regarding the destructiveness of political correctness & current day “feminism”. He knows more about the positive nature of America than 99% of the euro-turds & the marxists running our colleges & universities.

Like everyone on earth, Milo is a sinner. Pray for him.

Apparently, some people are simply unprincipled. That should be no surprise.

Sin is sin. Deal with it. (I recommend repentance as the method of dealing with it.)

Wow, great. Thanks. This isn't the religion forum.

Attempting to banish God from the public square is normally a strategy of the left. It’s a bit odd to see supposed conservatives on a supposedly conservative forum doing it.

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

Yep. The whole reason why he is tolerated by the Left (to the point of allowing him to rise to the top (unlike Breitbart) is because he normalizes the sodomy lifestyle and makes it “cool” to young people.

The ultimate Marxist goal is to group everyone and to destroy the Natural Family (all biological connections and warp all Natural instincts in children)—create a segregated society. The most diverse aspect of human beings is male and female. Separate male and female as “homosexual” (Marxist construct) “marriage” does and you will destroy the only thing which created Western Civilization (monogamy of the Jews and then the Natural Family in Christianity (elevation of the status of women).

This whole push of perversion and “gender” theory is Marxism on steroids to separate the most diverse groups “male and female” and to return us to the Spartan, pagan days where pederasty and homosexuality was the norm—like it is in Afghanistan and most muslim nations.

Destroy the Natural Family and you destroy all the Natural instincts and worldview of the children—who will be warped and incapable of Reason and understanding Natural Law Theory-—the worldview which created the Age of Reason and the US Constitution. Dumb, ignorant people-—who are fixated on base urges are irrational and immoral. Only virtuous people can be free and only virtuous people can form a Free Republic. (Founders). Milo parades his sick, irrational lifestyle and is proud of it and promotes it to children. It is extremely evil and dangerous because he is made “cool” and wealthy—attractive to the vulnerable (irrational) young.

I spent 4 years dealing with nutty leftists on campus while simultaneously earning a physics degree ... and nobody paid me to do it. Milo is a professional.

He's getting paid to make faggotry look cool. For some odd reason, some supposed conservatives think that's a good thing.

The enigma of Trump created the necessary alliances to finally generate enough inspiration and momentum to win a major battle against the evil left. Alliances the RINO contingent couldn’t manage to forge over many years. Without these alliances, I’m sure Hillary would now be preparing for coronation day.

Alliances are forged to serve a greater purpose despite differences. Something the left has become very good at. The right finally got a clue with Trump.

All the bickering within the camp on the right about purity and specific causes was weakening it while the left made major inroads toward dismantling the USA and the Constitution.

Best to you, Milo.

Some people thought Milo was photoshopped with the sexy boychick pics, but this is not the case. The venue was a Gays-for-Trump party sponsored by the Log Cabin Republicans on Wednesday, July 20 of this year..

...At the Repub. convention (LINK).

While we're at it, let's not forget that Geert Wilders and Pamela Geller were there framed in the pedo-art, too.

I love, love, love their courageous campaigns against fascist Islam (LINK) but it is detestable that they coordinate with the cultural mainstreaming of juvenile sodomy.

It wasn’t a personal attack just an observation.

Each sinner has to deal with his own sins as he sees fit.

We’ll all eventually have to answer to an higher authority.

Well, to be fair, we all found out later this was a Log Cabin event with those creepy photos - so Milo wasn’t responsible for them. I believe Christina Hoffman-Sommers also spoke in front of them. (Perhaps we need some input from our brave freepers who keep us abreast of Pizzagate to explain those photos!)

My problem with Milo is his excessive vanity and flaunting of his sex life. Try being his “friend” on Facebook: you have to endure endless photos of him preening (and to be honest, he’s not THAT good-looking), dressing in drag, and worst of all, his bullying and encouragement of bullying obese people. Since he was kicked off Twitter, he’s hanging around Facebook more and more...

Yes, he sometimes gets things right. But it’s like a pal whose shortcomings outweigh the good after awhile. And I remain skeptical that his dislike of feminism (which I share) is not a cover for general woman hatred.
