If Breitbart won't take you, you're in trouble. | ||

His explanation is pretty weak too. Watching his interview footage I think it's pretty clear exactly what he was trying to get across. | ||

It will be a a few years before the impact of Republican 'Trickle down voodoo' are felt by the rust belt worker and they start wondering when those jobs are going to show up. They don't care about the incompetence on display atm. | ||

I mean, he's been saying and writing this crap for years! they don't care what his views are, they care whether he's toxic to their brand by association. (which requires something pretty bad to be widely believed) so long as the complaints aren't too loud/ aren't about the wrong things, they're fine with leaving it be. basically, despite his toxicity, they only really care when the money he brings them (probably considerable? not really sure) ceases to outweigh the liability of being associated with him (which can hurt sales of other products, lead to boycotts, etc). their official story is just something meant to be more palatable to the general public than the cold hard greed of it. | ||

If this gets rid of Milo for good then thank heavens. Nothing was more obnoxious than seeing him described a "conservative provocateur" when he wasn't even really conservative. | ||

The pedophilia thing is disgusting, but can I ask what is the perceived opinion on his views? In the videos he looks quite ok and his arguments are logical. I mean, I've seen WAY worse embarassing propaganda, this guy does not look that bad. (maybe a guy named Billy O'reille? I think I saw a video once and his views were pretty flawed) | ||

You can't vet everything a person says or does. People around Bill Cosby knew what he was doing. Cosby's right that it wasn't considered as big a deal back then (as evidenced by his jokes about it in his routine). In that way Milo is the same, except he didn't have a family friendly alternative persona, he is just all shitbag. Watching Milo fall, I'm already on to "someone please help that man". He's obviously got some deep issues and hurt people, hurt people. If Milo doesn't get help and continues to lose all of his professional success he's going to be in a bad place. | ||
