Resigns from Breitbart

Milo Yiannopoulos finally went too far.

The professional provocateur has resigned as an editor at Breitbart News amid a firestorm over unearthed comments in which he seemed to endorse sex between "younger boys and older men."

Yiannopoulos released a statement on Tuesday afternoon, minutes before he was scheduled to give a press conference in Manhattan.

"It would be wrong to allow my poor choice of words to detract from my colleagues' important reporting, so today I am resigning from Breitbart, effectively immediately. This decision is mine alone," Yiannopoulos said.

While Yiannopoulos has made a living off deliberately offensive statements, his comments on two recently discovered video clips proved too much, even for his friends and colleagues at Breitbart.

Can he blow this off and suck it up?
 
Should Bill Maher invite Steve Bannon on his show this week?
 
As I mentioned on another thread, the first time I heard of this guy was on the Rogan podcast in question. (I was a frequent listener at that time.) In the section in question, he was bragging about being fucked and sucked by adults when he was 13, and about being gangbanged when he 15 or so. I thought, "This dude was raped" when I heard it, and Rogan did too because he said, "This sounds like abusive molestation" (or something around those lines). Milo then explained why he wasn't a victim, that it's normal for older gay men to do this sort of thing. Those are the "pedo comments" which took him down. It's a cheap take down and untrue if you heard the whole thing, as he was clearly justifying his own abuse.

But since the has spent the last year or two touring the country as a semi-professional troll this is to be expected. And this is a step towards getting Bannon... ultimately leading to Trump.

It isn't a coincidence that WaPo published this article seemingly hours before the Milo take down. Note the article leads with Milo... why? It's pretty obvious this was orchestrated.

free speech is a good thing, but sometimes there's consequences
:rolleyes:

When did someone post that this is a free speech issue? :confused: Am I missing a comment?

no, but from what little i've seen of this guy he liked to fall back on the argument that he was allowed the right of free speech

it was sort of a non seq, i suppose.

The furor currently raging over Yiannopoulos's comments is exactly the sort of thing this professional button-pusher relishes. Like Trump, his shtick is to say crazy things to get attention, and then manipulate ears and eyeballs to his advantage mid-furor.

Milo's obvious play will be to use all of this coverage as free PR, seeking to come out the other side with his rebel credentials burnished. He'll recreate himself as a Republican martyr, unfairly maligned by a corrupt priesthood that fears the true movement.

But watch it work. A week from now, the same conservatives who are beating their breasts about Yiannopoulos now will go crawling back into the Trump camp to fight the hated liberals on a dozen other issues. They will look weak and indecisive, and privately will be demoralized, while the Trump/Bannon/Milo crew will look like poker players who won a bluff. It's always about the next news cycle with these people.

Where else in the world is rape always the victim's fault?

If this thread brings up bad memories maybe you should unload them here or not visit the thread. Deflection just brings attention to your issues.
 
Just glad we hopefully will hear less from the stupid bastard! Hopefully we don't hear about him caught as a pedo himself. Just let the foul mouthed cunt fade into obscurity.
 
Milo fell victim to the thing that takes down most people; hubris.

He shoulda kept his big fat mouth shut. But then, he'd-a-never been famous if he had.
