It just reinforces the old statement that a Conservative can get away with ANYTHING except;
ā€œGetting caught in bed with a dead girl or a live boy.ā€
of some iteration of that.

Now, remember, the Publisher has ā€œpulledā€ the publishing deal for the book, not canceled it, and in 4 weeks when the noise has died down they will quietly reinstate it and resurrect the publishing deal again (with less compensation for Milo.)

After all, he is ā€œone of themā€ and ā€œbusiness is businessā€.

We already know that a conservative can get away with having a live girl put him in diapers, for money. Perhaps before long we can find out whether the leader of the free world can be caught with a live girl golden showers show.
My guess is that if they didn’t piss on him, conservatives will have no problem at all.

But still our Dear Leader’s past remark reported by Richard Cohen (and initially censored by the WaPo) didn’t create the slightest ripple. Remember: ā€œIs it wrong if I’m more sexually attracted to my daughter than my wife?ā€, stated when Ivanka was, yes, 13? Maybe pedophilia is cool for Republicans when incest is involved. Or maybe it’s another case of ā€œIf the president does it it’s legal.ā€ Of course he wasn’t president at the time he said it, but still.

Milo’s remarks had been around for a while before they suddenly became unacceptable. I think Trump’s deep question about Ivanka should be revived too.

I didn’t know a thing about this idiot until I saw him on Bill Maher
This is Ann Coulter without a prominent Adams apple.
Best ignored as it is an attention whore of the worst kind.
Not even a glimmer of intellect in that vacuous persona.
It’s footnote in history is waiting

Probably. But pedophilia is a bridge too far even for alt-right conservatives (well, most - you never quite know with that crowd). There’s already considerable amounts of shaming being had toward his support base, who have gotten away with propagating Milo’s vile shit for so long that they deserve to have him tied around their necks with this. It might be wishful thinking on my part, but this just might actually kill his brand. Unfortunately he’ll just leave a vacuum for an even bigger piece of shit to fill…

But I understand that my usual blend of British sarcasm, provocation and gallows humor might have come across as flippancy, a lack of care for other victims or, worse, ā€˜advocacy.’

Yeah, no. Can’t hide behind the skirts of British or gallows humor, Skippy.

Bannon has taught him well.

ā€œAfter careful considerationā€¦ā€

The fact that one of the nation’s venerable publishers thought for one second of putting out a book by this vacuous shitstain proves beyond all doubt that ā€œcareful considerationā€ is a completely unknown quality inside its doors.

I think Trump’s deep question about Ivanka should be revived too.

Won’t make a difference to Republicans and Trumpers… the pervert scion of those cretinous Duck Commander frauds has openly and enthusiastically endorsed underage girls marrying older men, and the Evangelical Christianists have eagerly signed on because Jesus.

Most Conservatives want to go back to the ā€œAll The News That’s Fit To Printā€ days when they knew this kind of stuff was happening, but didn’t want to know it was happening so that they could get away with pretending that the world was nice and civilized and that they were better than anyone else. Of course, Yiannopoulos seems to forget that the people’s he’s gotten into bed with actually would condone such behaviour so long as it wasn’t seen or talked about…oh, and they would not care a lick if gay rent boys were brutally murdered, and would have either put his arse in jail or forced him to take drugs which would chemically castrate him.

This sorry excuse for a gay cliche really doesn’t get that he’s in bed with people who view him as subhuman…it’s like all those Blacks and Catholics who support the Far Right…they don’t want to hear what they say at 2am…

Milo’s misogyny, racism, white supremacy and being a propagandist are all OK, but promoting pedophilia is too much for CPAC and Simon and Schuster.

Good to know they have some standards.

A conservative pedophile? I’m shocked, I tell you…

Almost as ludicrous as a bible-thumping preacher being caught with a teen-age prostitute on his private jet…

Here’s part of what he said: ā€œYou’re misunderstanding what pedophilia means. Pedophilia is not a sexual attraction to somebody 13-years-old who is sexually mature. Pedophilia is attraction to children who have not reached puberty…I think particularly in the gay world and outside the Catholic church, if that’s where some of you want to go with this, I think in the gay world, some of the most important, enriching and incredibly life affirming, important shaping relationships very often between younger boys and older men, they can be hugely positive experiences for those young boys they can even save those young boys, from desolation.ā€

Wow those Brits have developed senses of humor! Don’t you find yourself softly chuckling as you read this?

I’ve only seen this guy speak once or twice, but his contempt for humanity shines through. This contempt is hidden behind pseudo-intellectualism and phony ideology. He speaks of being a victim himself. Does anyone know if this is true? It would explain a lot.

I may get flamed for this, but I agree with Milo, to a very small extent.
We have rules about sexual behavior which are a bit arbitrary—age of consent, etc. The age of consent has been as low as 13, and I believe it is 15 in some European countries.
For me, the deciding point is the following: if you are an adult, and you can’t agree to follow the law about the age of consent—whatever that may be—that is indicative of a serious problem. There’s no reason any adult needs to dip into the kiddie pool.
