Simon & Schuster cancels book deal with Milo Yiannopoulos
Washington Times ^

Posted on 02/20/2017 2:48:00 PM PST by TigerClaws

First CPAC, now Simon & Schuster.

Milo Yiannopoulos lost a second gig Monday afternoon over his remarks defending underage pederasty, when Simon & Schuster cancelled plans to publish a book by the gay conservative provocateur this summer.

Adam Rothberg of the publisher’s public relations department made the announcement on Twitter Monday afternoon.

“After careful consideration @simonschuster and its @threshold_books have cancelled publication of Dangerous by Milo Yiannopoulos,” Mr. Rothberg wrote.

“Dangerous,” a title playing off of Mr. Yiannopoulos’s “Dangerous Faggot Tour,” had been set by a June 13 release by Threshold, the conservative- Yiannopoulos was recently disinvited from the Conservative Political Action Conference after a podcast emerged in which he appeared to endorse sexual relationships between “younger boys and older men”.

He said young boys "discover who they are" through such relationships. And even if they are sexual in nature can "give them security and safety and provide them with love and a reliable rock where they can't speak to their parents".

Yiannopoulos' $250,ooo book deal was met with significant criticism because much of he espouses racist, sexist, and transphobic from his prominent platform.

CHOSE:

Are you a HOUSE conservative?

Or a FIELD Conservative...?

For A LOT you under our roof the ultimate goal is to come into a DC room of politicians and they sorta like or at least TOLERATE you.

When it really comes down to it they don’t actually want to WIN.

And this faggot WANTS TO WIN.

Milo is a Libertarian. They are against most legal restrictions on most everything.

Breitbart’s response will have a bigger impact. What do they do?

That, and he has not expressed views that pay obeisance to “Transgender” folk.

“...because much of he espouses racist, sexist, and transphobic from his prominent platform. “

When was that?

I’ve watched 30 or so videos and there is absolutely zero of what this rag alleges.

Give me examples and prove your case Washingtontimes....

The Twitter banning, campus banning made him stronger.

The harm caused by not distancing from sexual encounters with the underage is his own doing.

This will make him weaker.

No fan of Milo, always thought he was a phony, fat-hating, Republican-hating (check out his quotes, people) Brit-on-the-make Andrew Sullivan wannabe but I have to laugh at the conservative/liberal center of this country that gets the willies over everything faintly or deeply controversial.

I think the high tide watermark of Milo is over. He could have been a force for good but his narcissistic ego ran away with him.

And Tiger, if you remember my moniker, you can’t accuse me of not supporting your work on pizzagate.

Lena Dunham got a $3.6 million book deal from Randhom House.

Speaking of gays and book deals, Barack Obama is getting $20 million for his memoirs.

Maybe he’ll tell us of the abuse at the hands of his tranny nanny...

Amazingly, Podesta’s friend James Alefantis posts sexualized pics of little boys on his Instagram and gets a million dollars worth of free publicity from the New York Times, Washington Post and the networks.

But a conservative homosexuals gets tanked.

I wonder how they will handle all of us that preordered the book?

So, orders came down from on high to destroy Milo now I guess.

First was Flynn.

Wonder who will be next?

I didn’t think he was that threatening to them.

He was someone that was immune to their go-to dismissals: racist, bigot, homophobe. His message, which had a lot of conservative themes, was resonating on college campuses, which are traditionally purely leftist indoctrination camps.

I think the whole Berkeley thing shows he was definitely a threat to him.

Let’s get serious: would anyone on this website tolerate Milo’s views on sex if he were a liberal on other issues? NO!!!!!! The same people who were appalled by PizzaGate are now Milo defenders? This is absurd.

Milo, strike them at their black heart: help Sessions bring down pizzagate. History is calling you.

“and many on the right were more than willing to help out.”

Because they rather lose and feel righteous.

They’ve been doing it for 28 years.

They tried to do it with Trump and failed.

Exactly.

I haven’t listened to the video, but I’d wager anything you said addressing your own tragic experience could be manipulated to make it sound like you believed things you don’t.

I don’t think Milo approves of the raping of minor boys. I do think he would urge them to deal with it, and not let it consume them. I don’t think there’s much to be gained by suicide or holding hate inside for decades.

There are some very sick people out there, but we should not become sick to counter them.

Milo had to deal with what happened to him. I am sorry about that.

I believe that sexual encounters of young boys by abusive adults has destroyed their ability to enter adulthood in a normal healthy manner.

I think Milo knows this.

If I’m not mistaken, he addresses the numbers of homosexuals who can’t to that lifestyle due to abuse.

If the guy doesn’t get it on certain levels, I think that is unfortunate.

I have appreciated his defense of Conservatism from a good perspective, thus making it reasoned for other homosexuals to challenge their own beliefs.

The ugly stories are from those trying to take him out.

Funny how we scream Fake News about CNN and then proceed with our own fake news.

I’d be very surprised if Breitbart gave up on him. Very surprised - and very unhappy despite my markedly disapproval of Milo.

Milo was always an amusing distraction. I did like that he supported Trump early and vocally. Also like that as a gay man he disarms liberals who don’t know how to attack him.

But, yeah, young boys/old men = sick, justly illegal, and not something to condone.

So now the liberal left has told us this is unacceptable behavior... at least for those on the supposed right.

Here's a bit of trivia:

Carly Simon, the left wing singer from the 60's and early 70's is the privileged daughter of Richard Simon, co-founder of Simon and Schuster.

Folks who still think this is about Yiannopoulos should take a look at some of the books S&S and its imprints have published over the years....

“Our side doesn’t need someone advocating older men having sexual relationships with boys who have reached puberty but are below the legal age of consent.”

Our side just have people excusing when it is a grown woman with people of the same age.
