What he needs to do is go public that he's heard enough from the victims of pedopheliahe to realize the damage it causes, and that he was wrong for saying that.
Humblegunner, as a huge fan of Milo, what do you think?
What? What was the question?
I was all hypnotized by the bracelets and the swishy-hands....
I don’;t think Cpac would dis-invite him over some unsubstantiated rumor- I could be wrong- but it’s very likely they had their people look into the issue and found it disturbing enough to dis-invite him- like you say- the video is damning enough on it’s own- but now we’re seeing accusation that the video was ‘edited’ by those that support him and by milo himself evidently-
I noticed the article left out Milo’s facebook response. Here’s the complete response.

Milo addressed this on his Facebook page and completely repudiated what was said.
This is someone trying to take a very effective writer/speaker out. Nothing more, nothing less.
If you can't stand a gay member of the right, that's fine, there are good reasons to not like the gay agenda. Editing to make something look a lot worse than it is: Not good.
Throwing Milo under the bus for an edited clip is just plain stupid on the part of CPAC.
Pedophilia is sexual attraction to prepubescent children. That is not what he was advocating.
LMAO. Stir that **** stick, Laz.
That interview is just plain sickening.
Don’t go al soft on us, Laz. This is a great object lesson on why the left wins and in the long run, will likely continue to win. It’s very simple. It’s a concept called loyalty. Something that our side of the street has yet to truly figure out.
Milo is an exceptionally talented voice for our side. Of course the opposition is going to try to take him out. Like sunset following sun rise, it’s that predictable.
So the opposition tries to take him out and what does our side do? It starts getting a case of the vapors. Over what is likely nothing. There was no unequivocal statement here like”I support pedophilia and think it’s a great thing.” Quite the contrary. Yet our side is focusing on the accusation, not the more obvious attempt to take out one of our own.
The left understands that. They rarely allow one of their own to be thrown to the wolves. Take Anthony Weiner as an example. The guy is caught sexting. Resigns. And then in a matter of months is running for mayor. If there hadn’t been the second scandal (and third), he would probably be back in office. The opposition didn’t abandon him until it became clearly untenable to continue to support him.
Contrast this with how Milo is being treated for what appears to be, at worst, sloppy language. He’s already been disinvited from CPAC, and is well on his way to becoming an instant pariah because of an obvious hit campaign. Defended by his side? Not in a million years. Protecting and defending one of our own is just not something conservatives do. Certainly not when smarmy self-righteousness is an option.
And then we wonder why our candidates and appointees won’t bother to fight the easily winnable fights. There is a very good reason why: they know they’re on their own. They know they’ll be thrown to the wolves by their so-called “allies” the moment the heat comes on.
I said this many years ago and it’s still true: I’d rather have a democrat division in front of me than a republican squadron behind me.
