This dude is like Liberace with the politics of Joseph Goebbels.

This. Shame on the right if he becomes the new normal.

He was on Bill Maher last night. I didn't find him to be that deplorable; of course, he was probably "filtering" himself since he was going to be appearing before a liberal audience.

I saw it too and I didn't think he was that bad.  If anything, Larry Wilmore (who I usually like) came off as a complete idiot when he began cursing.  It seems that Milo doesn't believe half of what he says but is trying to troll easily triggered liberals.  And I'm afraid to say that a lot of us deserve it.

The only thing worse than an idiot is a money grubbing whore who pretends to be an idiot. It doesn't matter if he believes what he says or not. As far as I'm concerned, he doesn't deserve sh*t.

I find the whole SJW explanation for the rise of the alt-right silly. I went to a liberal arts university in New York City and never met one of these people. I mean, I'm sure they existed but their numbers are negligible

It's almost as if Republicans these days have to create new enemies that do not exist!

OK, some of the more "vocal" SJWs do exist, but they're largely online. But since many young conservatives who worship the likes of Milo spend their lives on the Internet anyways, that's reality for them.

Let's face it-most young Republicans at CPAC (the "big government sucks" crowd) dress like twelve year olds at their 28 year old half-sisters wedding. Pwning SWJs is all they got.

I think there needs to be a counter-culture on the right that is intellectual but not elitist that can act as both a vanguard for the most ideological activists and the Trumpletariet alike. CPAC is a great tool but it risks becoming a Paul Ryan nerd prom indoctrinating young right-wingers with outdated ideas in the age of Trump.

That first paragraph is gold. We don't see eye to eye on Trump but you and I would probably get along in real life.

Btw have you ever considered writing? You're pretty witty with words.

Gross. The sudden Republican obsession with "edginess" is getting to be too much. Trump is a lot of fun. Romney, Ryan, McCain, and Jeb! are boring. But that doesn't mean we have to literally get a pro-rape crypto Nazi to speak just because my party is so emotionally invested in pissing off the other side (which, I admit, is a LOT of fun and very tempting after the eight years we just went through).

I was tempted to go see Milo because of the reactions of the student thugs on FSU, but then I realized that if I let a bunch little wanna-be brownshirts piss me off into putting money into the pocket of an actual brownshirt, everyone would win accept for me.

The worst part about Milo is that he is beloved by the same young Republicans who hated and still hate Trump. The College Republican types. The ones who wear that douchebag combination of khaki pants with a shirt, tie, and blazer to their weekly meetings. The kind who headed the Students for Rubio group on campus. The kind I had to sit with at the GOP debate in Miami. The kind who go to all the Republican club meetings, get the good internships, and have good connections to the Lt. Governor even though they've never walked into a campaign office in their freaking life.

Milo is the God of the "Alt-right" and the "TRUH CONSERVATUHS" of the Reagan/Rubio/Cruz variety, which is fitting because those happen to be the two most vile and most vocal wings of the party aside from the President's twitter.

The True Conservatives description was (apart from the still hating Trump- I think you're still in June on that one) almost a perfect description of me and most of my friends!  We don't actually dress up for meetings, though- and we are sometimes called on to campaign (I went on a trip to Georgia in 2014 to campaign, for instance).  And, yes, I go to most of the big conservative conferences and will be at CPAC next week!!

The operative question is what constitutes American conservative thought in the age of Trump? One might not be faulted for thinking conservatives functionally have reached the same stage philosophically as the New Deal Democratic liberals did in 1968.

Who's to say Milo isn't akin to the Black Panthers of the 1960s, especially their more radical wing?

HuhHuh?
If you are talking about the red polo people, it's because they literally have to be dressed like that for their free trip.  The rest of us generally dress in business or business casual attire at CPAC.  And, since places like CPAC and similar conferences have some of the prettiest girls on the planet, I don't know why you are making fun of movement conservatives so much!

Of my ~900 FB friends, I would bet that 300-400 of them are either going to CPAC or have been to CPAC or similar conferences in the past, so these are the type of people that I know, and I truly think they are some of the best people on the planet!  And, why disparage the Reagan/Rubio/Cruz/Ryan/etc. "True Conservatives"- we're the only ones who stand for our values across the board- all the other groups have a problem area.

I think and hope that there will be multiple future Presidents of the United States in the audience at CPAC next week!

That's an unfair comparison. At least the radical Black Panthers got off their asses for free.

CPAC, and conservatives as a whole, has always been guilty of elevating loudmouthed hucksters especially those whose race or sexual orientation or age suggest that they would usually be a Democrat. Rather than addressing they have a homophobia problem, they'll put a gay guy on stage to tell them that the LEFT are the real bigots. Rather than address why minorities don't vote Republican, they'll put David Clarke on stage to talk about how brown people are all criminals.

Notice that quieter, non-bomb throwing minority conservatives (Tim Scott, Ken Mehlman, ect.) get nowhere near the conservative attention and enthusiasm as say Allen West or Milo.

Ironically enough, it's identity politics at its most crass.

It is identity politics plain and simple and the right does it too just the same. 

The whole Marco Rubio thing was totally because he was Latino and the Jeb Bush/Wall Street wing of the party thought that with him and a more moderate immigration stance, they could get the Latino vote.  It didn't work.

Clarence Thomas was very likely appointed because he was black.  There must be have been dozens of white conservatives that could have been appointed to fill Thurgood Marshall's seat, but they found a black conservative and that was that.

Sarah Palin was chosen because she was a woman who would offset all of the history that Obama was making.

Obama was plucked out of obscurity - literally, eight years before he became President he lost a Democratic primary for a U.S. House race - and part of all that was that he was viewed as a transformational figure.  Back in 2004, he had this "purple" bipartisan aura about him and that, combined with his biracial roots, made him a star.

Let's just come out and say what it is.  Diversity for the sake of diversity is "in".  It's very trendy.

Even Donald Trump of all people played identity politics in the election by waving a rainbow flag and using the words "LGBTQ community" at his acceptance speech.  Ironically, adding the "Q" stuck and it's being used everywhere now instead of the LGBT.

This Milo guy is big now because he's gay.  There's also a few gay porn stars that support Trump.  Caitlyn Jenner is a conservative Republican (probably because Bruce was, the politics didn't change when she transitioned).

I think what we're going to start to see a lot of now is that the diversity championed so much by the left is going to be embraced by the right, but only when that diversity adheres to a conservative message.

It wouldn't surprise me if the first openly queer, biracial, Buddhist Republican is elected to Congress soon.

About half the alt-right hates Milo as alt-light and is furious when people call him their leader. A homosexual of half Jewish descent drives the. 14/88ers up a wall. Other half of alt-right looks as him as a gateway drug with his anti-SJW trolling to non-normie darker reactionary conservatism. Hope he quotes De Maistre, Dugin and Evola at CPAC to troll them.

Again, identity politics won last year. It just so happens the people who responded to it were too deluded to see it.

It's funny when a video most long-time followers/haters of Milo have always been aware of "surfaces" because the mainstream press finally cares about the subject in question.

So to catch up with the new nationalist conservatism, diddling barely teenage boys is now the “in” thing? Anyone offering a defense of Milo on the Alt Right? I know he's a big Trumpist.
