CPAC: Milo disinvited, quits Breitbart

[The_Doctor]

The downfall of Milo is hilarious to watch.

[Dr. Arch]

The majority of you can never, ever empathize with growing up gay... and all of the negative implications that come with it.  I see it in the way you treat so called "self hating gays"... like you are entitled to saying extremely homophobic and hurtful things to someone because they can't stand themselves and can't accept who they are.  That's disgusting and it is so apparent to me and it separates out the wheat from the tares, I'll tell you that much.

I grew up gay. I have every sympathy for those who hate themselves. I don't have sympathy for people who damage others because they hate themselves. Self hating gays are never just 'self' hating.

Milo says that gay people can change their orientation. He says he wishes they would go back in the closet. He says that 'gay rights have made gays dumb'. He says that he wishes they would go back to marrying women and having families and have affairs, ruin families because it was more 'fun'.

He called a reporter a 'thick as pig sh!t media Jew.' He sexually harassed people online. He says that trans people are mentally ill.

He is an awful human being.

He needs professional help. This is destructive behavior.

[The_Doctor]

Look, let's just call a spade a spade. Milo is a bigot, and an alt-right guy who traded in his identity to become a darling of said crazy nationalist bigots and he was a vicious pig along the way to boot. We should certainly wish him well as he seeks therapy or whatever these idiots do, but my reaction is solely, until he wises up:

Agreed. Gays are not inferior to straights, so I dont see why they arent just as responsibile for choosing to say awful, offensive things.

What downfall would that be? You think that college Republicans will stop inviting him to speak at their campuses? You think that he won't be able to make rather more than the $250,000 Simon and Shuster were going to give him from self publishing? If you think either of those things then I think you're wrong. He's going to do just fine out of this.

Pretty sure he gets to keep the $250,000.

I wonder how much money you can make doing a speaking tour of the NAMBLA circuit...

Not sure if you've read any part of this thread... but Milo was abused sexually as a teenager and when he made that video he was speaking from his own experience as a victim.

Look I know you live in a fantasy world where somehow people who endorse the goals of NAMBLA get off scot free but nope, that isn't this world. Most people, including College Republicans, don't endorse NAMBLA goals.

Why am I not shocked you haven't condemned him and imply that he's a victim?

Gee when I thought you couldn't go lower as a human being you just crash through another floor, don't you?

Well Milo's comments, though crude, did not endorse NAMLA goals either, as is clear from the unedited video. So I'm not sure what your point is? Milo will be getting more invitations from college Republicans soon if he hasn't already.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

The fall of Milo is welcome news.

Ah I knew you'd say this. Okay so you're down as a Milo sympathizer. Got it.

Moving on.

How well will his new "Media Venture" do?

[Illiniwek]

Glad that he is no longer at Breitbart. While that doesn't necessarily mean the end of his career any step like this where he goes off on his own will give him less exposure. (You heard a lot less from Glenn Beck after he left Fox News)

That was back in 2011 when the media was still dominated more by TV broadcasting than by the internet. Different media world now.

[The_Doctor]

Wow Pete is actually indirectly negatively attacking a group that publicized the videos. As if they did a bad thing instead of a public service. I see there's no low for the alt white nationalist right. Even pedophilia.

True but its tough to start your own media enterprise.

Wow. TD's disingenuousness here is so transparent.

It is but then Yiannopolous has a huge head start with already having a significant public profile, book publicity already started, speaking engagements lined up etc.

     We can laugh at the absurdity of how this came to light while also recognizing that what Milo said was legit messed up.

Truth hurts, huh? Nice schtick though. Either way, carry on, with the whole implied “Milo is wronged” schtick though.
