By now you’ve probably heard of the uproar over Milo Yiannopoulos’ invite to speak at CPAC this year.

>

Here’s Yiannopoulos’ response in its entirety where he calls the video “selectively edited” and states “I do not support pedophila. Period.”

Does CPAC really need Milo that much?

They probably do, now that he's been announced as a speaker.

I don't know what the story is with him. If there's a genuine problem with him then CPAC needs some new nabobs.

Another example of Conservative hypocrisy... imagine if liberals were parading a pedophile around like he was a paragon of free speech?

I've been more aware of him than I'd like since mid 2014. @Norm Lenhart  has as well. We're both gamers.

It's not just this video - he's defended and even praised pedophilia several times. He's also defended, condoned, and directed online attacks on people, up to and including doxxing, SWATting, and death threats.

Someone at CPAC didn't do their homework.

Yeah, I liked him until gamer-gate. 
Some of what he says I'm not sure how much is serious and how much is him trolling conservatives...

I knew this was a volatile combination backing Trump and I knew it couldn't hold but Milo and the alt right have said they intended to destroy the GOP. Now that they have control of the GOP I say we give them matches so they can set themselves on fire.

Seems almost every year, CPAC goes through this 'exercise' of dealing with critics over the choice of Keynote speaker.

They did it Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter, IIRC.

TOS won't allow the Milo video to be posted,  but there's a thread about his denial of the censored issue.

12 responses so far, and only one condemns the guy.  The rest defend him, gush about him, and wish safety and blessings on him.

Leftists, Alt Right, "Christians", dumb conservatives, unionists.

The explosion is going to make a hell of a crater.

Typical.

I do have a special blessing prayer I reserve for people like Milo:

May he be given everything he has wished .... on other people.

Here’s Yiannopoulos’ response in its entirety where he calls the video “selectively edited” ....


That excuse got shot down pretty quick, as did the 'dark humor' excuse.  The full five minute video, not edited, is much, much, much worse.

Warning, NSFW.

THIS, we agree on.  At least Milo is exposing all the related sub-cultures to 'alternative  lifestyles'

He is apparently not the keynote speaker.

He is playing 'what's the definition of 'is'' game. There are many keynote speakers, just like at the RNC, each night has a different one. It seems Trump is the main event keynote, Milo is one of the other night keynote speakers. He just admitted so much last night on Breitbart News Sunday on XM radio- http://www.breitbart.com/milo/2017/02/19/milo-teases-topic-of-upcoming-cpac-speech-siriusxm-breitbart-sunday/

So, he is a keynote speaker or he, himself, is the one lying.

CPAC hasn't specified. He is given major billing right up with the president but their schedule doesn't show yet which specific speaker goes when.

CPAC could use more cowbell and less keynote.

TOS: Hillary Clinton is running a child sex ring underneath a pizzeria.
Also TOS: ....but this should be legal.

what's the problem?

Milo just stated he is not a pedophile.

If you want a pedophile, check out Republican Dennis Hastert. You remember him? Former GOP Speaker of the House, before Boner and Ryan.

Funny how that works. The charge was he was defending pedophilia, not that he was one. And that is directly from his own mouth.
