Breitbart Employees Threaten Walk-Out Over Milo
Washingtonian ^ | 20 Feb 17 | Elaina Plott

Posted on 02/21/2017 5:22:42 AM PST by elhombrelibre

All is not well at Breitbart News.

A senior editor at the right-wing publication tells Washingtonian that “at least a half-dozen” employees are prepared to leave the company if Milo Yiannopoulos is not promptly fired. A second Breitbart source confirms this estimate.

Yiannopoulos, himself a senior editor at Breitbart, was booted from his speaking slot at this week’s Conservative Political Action Convention (CPAC), following taped revelations in which he appears to endorse pedophilia.

That’s the thing for some folks. They put power and defeating the Left above the values and virtues that make conservatism what it is and has always been. They become loyal to a man without considering if he’s loyal to their ideals. They get angry without thinking of what we believe beyond winning. It’s shortsighted.

Except of course the actual quote doesn’t support the hit piece and in fact is an accurate description of the differnces pedophilia and pederasty.

Until I see or hear actual quotes of him supporting pedophiles or pederasts I’m not going to turn on him. I swear...the only time some Republicans really fight is against their own. If we had the same fury for the Democrats that are actual pedophiles that would be something.

I like sex with children - elhombrelibre.

I have no source and it is not true. That is what you are doing to Milo, spreading bulls***. That makes you someone working against us.

Milo doesn’t want to be a homosexual, he has repeatedly said so, but he is. He was raped as a child and messed up because of it. Pray for him, he is looking for a way out...to become whole.

I don’t like a lot of what he says, but he is a force on college campuses for conservatism and the left hate him as much they hate Trump.

We are all flawed and sinners.

I apologize for being so rough on you, but you peed me off with your self righteous bull.

I have heard Milo say somethings that are very wrong but I am not going to post them because he is all allie a very bold one and I am not going help the left destroy him or Trump or conservatism.

If we don’t win the college campuses we will eventually lose it all politically, these students are our future. We need Milo and more like him.

Milo is a flash in the pan. The eternal verities matter much more than the fad that he uses to captivate the college kids. All the best,

I will correct myself. We have already lost the college campuses. We need to win them back. It will harder than Trump winning the election. But God is a force to be reckoned with, none can withstand him.

Unless I hear out of Milo’s own mouth he supports sex with children or under 18 I won’t believe our enemies who are liars through and through. I will stand with Milo a brave man.

Your not going to quit are you?! I am done with you, from now on when I see elhombrelibre I think John McCain enemy of conservatism.

You still have not provided a source for the lie you posted in #134 ... what does God say about liars? Same thing He says about homosexuals, they will not enter into His kingdom.

I’m not quitting. I just respect that you disagree. I have listened to his comments and read them. I don’t know if he’s truly advocating that, but I know that it’s the wrong thing to say. Many people think it’s fine for him to say things about fellatio and perverted sex. I don’t. You can get as mad as you want with me. I won’t change my mind. I don’t hate Milo, and I realize that many people like yourself admire him. I posted the article because it was about Breitbart. But you’re right that I don’t think Milo represents the conservatism I believe in. I wish him well. He may want to be a stand up comic or something.

I don’t think you have ever paid much attention to Milo’s message. Its not leftist. He hates the progressive agenda. Look you don’t like gays we get it. Many people feel the same way you do. This fake attempt to destroy the guy validates your feelings. Understandable.

You obviously don’t understand me at all. If I reported abuse on you or got your comment deleted then I wouldn’t be able to toy with you. :-)

I don’t hate gays. I don’t hate anyone. I have friends and I have relatives who are homosexuals. I think someone could be attracted to his own sex (for reasons I do not understand but accept) and be a good person, a good conservative, and a good Christian. I do not think that one can be sexually active with his own gender, or bragging about how good you are at homosexual fellatio, and be true to Christianity. I don’t see how you reconcile these difference with Milo. I get it that we’re all a paradox at times, and I understand we all sin. I appreciate that he says similar things. But Milo seems to want to brag about and champion his sins and his virtues all at the same time. He wants to have it both ways. Beyond his contempt for the left, I do not see him as a conservative. I am sure he could pull a David Brock without looking back. Conservatism is more than shocking and mocking the Left. There are a set of principles that we conservatives hold dear. And these values are way more significant than an entertainer. And he is one who won’t even say he is a conservative because, well, he’s honest that he is not.

I believe Milo identifies as Alt right. He is a self styled provocateur which means he uses deliberately over the top rhetoric to push his agenda. His agenda being an attempt to show the left wing progressive agenda as hypocritical and morally corrupt. Its a little brutal and not for everyone.

Personally I believe its the only way to deal with the left so I admire the guy and I think he slightly misspoke which happens from time to time and I don’t think its the sum of who Milo is. When you put yourself out there you can get damaged. This will all blow over in a few weeks when some other provocateur says something to get the FR doorkeepers panties in a wad. LOL!

Reposting this from another Milo thread, but also see #17 on this one.

In my work, I speak to college age young men. They were and are emasculated by the radical feminist takeover of American education. By the time these boys get free of high school and enter an American university, they are hit with a brand new anti-male feminist law: any female who feels like it can accuse any male of rape...based on nothing. Said boy will find his life as he knows it is ended.

Thus, these kids, non-homosexual young men, respond to Milo’s exaggerated pro-male, anti-radical feminist tirades. These boys find an articulate, grammatical (this is important!), Pythonesque defender in their unlikely hero.

We older types may not approve, but this is the world our children and grandchildren suffered through. They do not know what it felt like to be raised in a country who loved herself rather than the hateful, anti-American copybooks of their K-12 schooling. Try to imagine their world and you’ll understand their joyful response to the flagrant un-P.C. humor of this young Brit.

Okay, fine. You’re more dedicated to Milo - or the vision you have of him - than conservative ideas and values. Perhaps you are alt Right. I don’t know any doorkeepers. I’ll bet you Milo will either self destruct or join the left before the year is out.

It’s disturbing to read our young men look up to him and find him a hero. When I grew up, my heroes were John Wayne, Gary Cooper & Mickey Mantle.

Have a great day.

Maybe they didn’t have positive influences.
