Why Conservatives Fell for Milo Yiannopoulos

[dannno]

That is a total crock of $#@! and if it was true then game over anyway.

It IS true, and that is a possibility (bold), but my goal is to move things in the right direction to help avoid that.

You're all $#@!ed up positing this guy as a spokesman for traditional values.

He effectively DOES it though, like nobody else does, so I don't know why you are complaining. Don't signup for his blog, but you don't need to go around parroting the mainstream media that he is a bull$#@! con artist when he is actually helping our cause in a place where it is badly needed.

[dannno]

And you're offering up a person who has no core values as a spokesman.

He has some good core values, and he's Catholic.

He is a bull$#@! con artist, it's not my fault you can't see it

Are you familiar with Plato's Allegory of the Cave?

You are the one towing the mainstream media narrative here, you are the one who needs to be careful.

Oh fer $#@!s sake, you are off the rails. Trump has no idea of what you are talking about.

I think Trump has read Plato's Allegory of the Cave.

I think Trump has read Plato's Allegory of the Cave.

Really? Please provide evidence of this.

The mainstream says he is a conservative who happen to dabble in pedo talk. Originalist is saying that he is no conservative instead a con man who does pedo talk. That is not the same with MSM talking point. Lastly, the MSM is not wrong 100% of the time so using the argument that is the using the MSM talking point makes you wrong is like Stefan likes to say "Not an argument".

Try again.

You want me to post evidence that I think Donald Trump has read Plato's Allegory of the Cave?

Can an MRI scan detect that?

No, there are plenty of MSM talking points that precisely match what Originalist is saying.

[juleswin]

I am sure if you look very carefully at the talking points you promote, you would find similarities with the MSM talking points.

I am sure you would not.

Ultimately, he was done in by videos that surfaced with him proudly praising sex between boys and older men, as well as him speaking highly of a priest who allegedly had sex with him when he was underage:

Proudly eh? Isn't pride a sin? Wonder why the writers chose such a word, when there was no pride when Yiannopolis was speaking about this issue.
Media still trying old tactics. Thinking people will not be able to watch the video, and get a different impression. then wondering why they do this so much, pretty soon everyone thinks they are fake news, and hates them.

Speaking highly of the priest that molested him: Yes, I am sure that survivors of molestation, incest, and rape think highly of their predators. I am sure Milo must have been gushing on and on and on about how great this priest was.

Ope, whoops, watch the video, it was kind of a joke, wasn't it? A dark humor joke, with maybe even a hint of truth in it? Ever consider that he maybe tried to take the positive from a very confusing encounter. An encounter where he as a 13 year old may have felt something for the man that shared his secret? Felt something for the people who he was afraid would find out? Did you know many victims of incest and molestation (but rarely rape) orgasm? It is one of the many reasons they have conflicted feelings. Afterall, they did enjoy it....

Yeah, media thinks they are the big winners. More censorship, more twisting of videos. the more the beast reveals of itself, the more people turn from it, and to truth.

[LibertyEagle]

This is nothing but a political witch hunt.

[MallsRGood]

I'm not sure that any conservatives did fall for Milo.

A lot of Trumpkins did, and other Republicans, but conservatives...?

Anyway, good riddance, hope to never see that garbage in the news again.

You must be talking about neocons. Did you just out yourself, so-to-speak?

[opal]

Here's the thing.. if you don't like Milo's views, don't tune in and watch/listen

One of his biggest points is that the people that allegedly advocate for liberty, an exchange of ideas and free speech the most are the ones that do not want to let him speak

Until this week, the only ones publicly trying to shut him up were the left wing liberal SJW types

[Jamesiv1]

That is a total crock of $#@! and if it was true then game over anyway. You're all $#@!ed up positing this guy as a spokesman for traditional values.

I don't think you would ever, EVER hear a Milo fan say he is a spokesman for traditional values lol

He lays waste to feminism and political correctness. That's about it.

And he does a smashing good job of it.

[NewRightLibertarian]

Because he's actually entertaining, takes the fight directly to the left, and has balls.

Unlike 99.9% percent of the individuals in the pathetic libertarian and conservative movements.

[donnay]

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

[timosman]

Somebody is being overpaid.

[rpfocus]

He is a bull$#@! con artist, it's not my fault you can't see it

Quoted because it needs to be stated again.

[The Rebel Poet]

If this wasn't coming from dannno, I might have taken the time to point out the obvious.

lol Danno is such a Trumpcuck.

[Superfluous Man]

What a dumb article.. they didn't mention ONE $#@!ing single reason why Milo has a lot of conservative fans.. and there are MANY good reasons why he does.

No there aren't.

You're really into that topic I see.

[The Rebel Poet]

Milo was the best things to happen to the conservative movement for young people since Ron Paul.

[silverhandorder]

Those who do not like milo are literally hitler. Unless they conservative and supported Trump.

Also milo is a conservative.

[Ender]

You're really into that topic I see.

Actually @UWDude's remark is a good one.

I have a family member who was molested at a young age and always felt like they were to blame because they enjoyed it. Grew up with lots of problems and never talked about the molestation until a grownup.

[Superfluous Man]

How much of this crap are the mods willing to tolerate here?
