The poncy git gets owned by Larry Wilmore and Bill Maher.

Er..who cares? Berkley riots, masked evil doers. Old history by now. Does this guy even have any power?

He has the power to help reinforce a bullshit narrative that trans-phobic thugs have been using as an excuse when they inflict physical harm on trans people.

It will surprise nobody that Yiannopolous is a mendacious slimeball.

. . . Yiannopoulos said transgender people are disproportionately involved in sexual assault, and that that was “not a controversial statistic.”

He’s right — it’s not controversial at all to say trans people are “disproportionately involved” in sex crimes.

Except that they’re only “involved” in the same way people who are robbed are “involved” in robberies.

yuannopoulos works for breitbart... his is the power to spread the presidential bulldrek at the behest of his boss bannon... depending on how much influence he carries with bannon, and indirectly with frump, he may have even more power than that.

He's a rotten, rotten troll. Actually reminds me of a right-wing version of some of the left-wingers at R*tSk*p.

I find him amusing, but then I find most of modern life amusing. It's the only way to avoid premature suicide.

[Svartalf]

I would find him amusing too if he weren't so close to the heart of power... to me, that makes him annoying and dangerous. He has backing, so he stops being an amusing buffoon to become a dangerous one.

Dan Savage weighs in:

"Milo Yiannopoulos: Girls Are In Danger When Adult Trans Women Use Public Toilets But 13-Year-Old Boys Can Benefit From Giving Head To Adult Males"

The same arguments being used against trans people today were used against gay men decades ago. We were a danger to men and boys. We lurked in bathrooms. We had to be kept out of public spaces—parks, locker rooms, toilets—to protect children. It was bullshit when it was used to attack gay men, and it’s bullshit now that it’s being used to attack trans women. Any gay man making this argument needs to have his cocksucking mouth slapped off his ass-eating face.

To be clear: this argument—this lie—doesn’t protect women. It gets women killed. And I suspect Yiannopoulos knows and doesn’t care because he's too busy cashing in on his outrageous anti-gay gay conservative schtick. (Milo opposes gay marriage, argues that being gay is a choice, and says he would choose to be straight if he could.) There’s nothing the rightwing loves more than a black person willing to say black people are the real racists or a queer person willing to say queer people are the real threat. If you're queer or a person of color and you're telegenic and articulate and willing to sell the rancid cum rag that passes for your soul, you'll never have to do an honest day's work again in your life. (An actual conservative details how this scam works, why it works, and what it buys the GOP in this tweet storm.)

Breitbart editor Milo Yiannopoulos spoke tolerantly of pedophilia in video clips shared ahead of his speaking engagement at next week's Conservative Political Action Conference. The right-wing provocateur recalled his own sexual abuse as a teen and did not appear to outright condemn similar relationships between children and men on a 2016 episode of "The Drunken Peasants" podcast. He flippantly said young boys "discover who they are" through such relationships, later implying that those relationships can be sexual in nature, and can "give them security and safety and provide them with love and a reliable rock where they can't speak to their parents.” A host with the popular podcast fired back at Yiannopoulos and said, "Sounds like Catholic priest molestation to me."

"I'm grateful for Father Michael," Yiannopoulos replied. "I wouldn't give nearly such good head if it wasn't for him."

Yiannopoulos released a statement angrily insisting he didn't defend pedophilia and condemning pedophilia for the record. (“I do not support pedophilia. Period. It is a vile and disgusting crime, perhaps the very worst.”) Technically-speaking, Yiannopoulos is correct. He wasn't defending and fondly recalling adult men having sex with pre-pubescent children. That's pedophilia. He was defending and fondly recalling adult men having sex with 13- and 14-year-old boys. That's hebephilia. (In the extended video clip, Yiannopoulos endorses age-of-consent laws, saying 16 "is about right.")

The videos are here and here. Judge for yourself.

Gayer than I thought. Even partly towing the old NAMBLA official line that got the gày group banned from the UN world aids conference for ten years.

Will the regressive left ever learn?

Milo Yiannopoulos disinvited from CPAC.

Far-right provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos will not be allowed to speak at the Conservative Political Action Conference.

The decision comes while Yiannopoulos is roiled in controversy over a video in which he is appears to defend pedophilia. The video clip was posted on YouTube in January 2016, but gained new traction on social media after a conservative blog shared it Sunday.

American Conservative Union Chairman Matt Schlapp said in a statement announcing the decision that Yiannopoulos' efforts to address the video clip have fallen short, calling the remarks "disturbing."

"We realize that Mr. Yiannopoulos has responded on Facebook, but it is insufficient," Schlapp said in a statement. "It is up to him to answer the tough questions and we urge him to immediately further address these disturbing comments."

Wait...

[pErvinalia]

This could be the beginning of the end for him as alt-right poster boy. Conservatives probably had to swallow enough semenpride to allow a camp gay guy to represent them. But supporting a paedophilia apologist might just be too much.

[Animavore]

Look how apologetic he is when it's his own side, the one he makes money off, giving him grief. He tries to understand why what he said was completely out of order and to make amends to correct his wording so as to not cause further offense.

What a tool.

Brietbart considering firing Milo.

When even racist, misogynistic bigots think you're comments are unacceptable you know you've hit rock bottom.
