The hateful Left whose most effective weapon is character assassination has created a gotcha culture for conservatives, and conservatives can be counted on to fold every time.
Barney Frank had a prostitution ring operating out of his house and masturbated into the president's locker in the Capitol gym. But that didn't prevent him from architecting the incredibly destructive Dodd-Frank bill and the subprime mortgage crisis because Democrats never broke ranks and protected him.
Milo [Yiannopoulos] is indisputably the most effective conservative on campus battling the anti-American identity-obsessed, racist Left. He is a victim of sexual abuse himself, which entails confusion on these issues. That conservatives would abandon him - throw him to the wolves - tells you everything you need to know why the Left dominates the national culture and thus the political culture which is downstream.
Perhaps he was thinking of George Takei:
I don’t think the right is throwing Milo to the wolves. But its hard to keep Milo off forbidden topics. He is a troll for the left. But he is not exactly conservative. Milo needs to understand that Breitbart supported him for the sensationalism. But he was as much promoting himself, as his ideas. In the end he became a distraction. Maybe you can say he was a great Troll. But he can never come into the conservative movement because he is not really conservative. He has to learn to control his tone. He has serious topics but he does not get serious when people actually want to discuss them.
I am hoping that Breitbart gets back to real news and spends less time on Milo.
Milo is finding out about Alinsky’s Rule #4: “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.“
They're talking about their principles again now, as they do all in their power to bring down the Trump administration.
I agree.
Shameful.
>Milo is finding out about Alinsky’s Rule #4: “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.“
Trump tossed that rule out and won big because of it. Why doesn’t the rest of the right get on board and ignore the left’s false calls to morality?
This group @ReaganBattallion seems to be one of the leaders of the 'NeverTrumpers Take Down Milo" contingency.
They're posing as conservatives, yet were the ones trying their hardest to get ILLary elected. Shame on them.
Even the replies they 'receive' to their tweets seem fake, or coordinated.
“Milo shot himself in the foot”
Yep.
I’ll call you a good person for being able to love somebody despite their flaws. It seems FR has a mix of old-school conservatives that hate somebody only for being gay and others that love him for everything his is, except being gay - big difference.
You’d think some here think they’re Jesus Christ himself. It’s disappointing that so many see an edited video that contradicts everything else Milo has said and done on multiple occasions and not give him any benefit of doubt, mostly due to their unbridled hate because he’s gay. This is not conservative or Christian.
“To do so is to abandon conservatism”
Who gets to define conservatism? The High Priests of Conservative Orthodoxy, or you?
I know Mark Levin and Ted Cruz have been very vocal about what a “real conservative” is and is not. They are leading the “conservative shaming” brigade and laying claim to “High Priests of Conservative Orthodoxy”. And I don’t take kindly to it.
I think it harms us all when anyone claims somebody else is not sufficiently conservative to warrant the “conservative” label. If somebody wants to suffer the arrows to publicly call themselves conservative, it’s best to let them wear it.
Why doesn’t the rest of the right get on board and ignore the left’s false calls to morality?
__________________________________________
It’s not the left that we’re listening to. It’s ourselves. Our own personal code of right and wrong. Our morality, if you will.
Clearly Milo is way off base here with his morality. And if the Right does not call him on it; if we don’t police ourselves with our own standards, then we are hypocrites. Worse than the left.
Because Milo takes an anti-liberal message and kicks ass with it - are we to give him a free pass?
As for me, I hope he follows through on his own idea of going through gay conversion therapy and I hope - since he is already on the right path to conservatism - that he comes out of this stronger and better than before.
There is a lot of jealousy going on as well. Many won’t admit it because the guy is a homosexual but, he is incredibly effective at what he does. Some people hate people that succeed. They just do.
If Milo is eliminated then the threat he posed to the Left is completely shut down. NO ONE can do what he has been able to do, and it was having an effect. He was able to perfectly demonstrate to these kids that nearly everything they have had shoved down their throats was a giant lie. It was working.
I completely agree. I’ve never seen anything like it. We’ll see how things go, I think he’s too great a warrior to give up and disappear.
>It’s not the left that we’re listening to. It’s ourselves. Our own personal code of right and wrong. Our morality, if you will.
Do you recall the Parable of the Good Samaritan? Samaritan’s were so screwed up morally that they had defiled the Jewish temple in the most sacrilegious ways possible. No one more more vile to the Jews that Jesus was teaching. And yet it was the good Samaritan that Jesus called our neighbor . Not because of what they believed or their own morality but because of their good actions. We don’t have to love Milo’s morality and infact I find it repugnant and degenerate but I love Milo as my neighbor for the aid he’s done me, Trump, and the Conservative movement.
>Clearly Milo is way off base here with his morality. And if the Right does not call him on it; if we don’t police ourselves with our own standards, then we are hypocrites. Worse than the left.
Worse than the left? I read a leftist publication urging the extermination of all whites the other day. We’d have to go a long way to be worse than the left.
Secondly Policing oneself involves going after those on our side who harm our side. If we’re going to start doing that, lets start with purging the #nevertrump traitors. We should have reacted to the attacks on Milo by attacking leftists who say much worse things and then ignore it. When and if Milo attacked the right then we should police him, not before.
>Because Milo takes an anti-liberal message and kicks ass with it - are we to give him a free pass?
A free pass to say stupid things from time to time? Sure. Words don’t matter much, but actions do. Take it from Jesus and the Parable of the Good Samaritan on how we should treat Milo.
LiberTARDians defending Milo, priceless.
Were he not trading on his homosexuality, it’s very likely that no one would know who he was.
I take my definition from Webster’s New World Dictionary (1957). It seems to fit my basic philosophy quite well.
Well said... Milo has been one of the most articulate proponents of free speech and has been working tirelessly to embolden a conservative movement within youth campus culture.
That’s something Trump could have never done as effectively as Milo did. He’s closer to their age, he’s far more articulate than Trump. As much as I so pleased with what Trump’s doing, in case you people haven’t noticed, Trump isn’t profoundly articulate like Reagan, Kennedy were.
Trump does make mistakes like the sentence about “did you see what happened in Sweden last night...?”
He later said he meant to say. “did you see the report on Fox News last night about Sweden?” Instead, he gave the left an opening in the armor so they could twist it to mean that Trump said that some nasty immigrant issue happened LAST NIGHT in Sweden.
Ironically, nasty immigrant riots DID happen the next day in Sweden, but nevertheless, Trump’s imprecise speaking gave the commies something to sink their teeth into, even though they were wrong.
So; is this statement INcorrect?
