Bill Maher's shameful mainstreaming of Yiannopoulos' hate (Snowflake melting)
CNN Fake News ^

Posted on 02/18/2017 9:45:08 PM PST by TigerClaws

By inviting "alt right" (aka white supremacist) darling Milo Yiannopoulos (known as "Milo") onto his HBO show Friday night, Bill Maher could've seized a great opportunity to expose Yiannopoulos' history of hate. After all, Yiannopoulos has spewed so much toxic garbage that he was permanently banned by Twitter in 2016, which says a lot, considering the cesspool that swirls on that platform.

So when Maher faced Yiannopoulos on Friday, did the HBO host press him on his view that college rape culture is a fiction and that women are often lying when they report being raped? Did Maher ask him about his anti-Semitic comment that "Jews run the media," or did he ask why Yiannopoulos wore a Nazi Iron Cross when he was younger? Did Maher press him on his demonization of transgender people as, in essence, sexual predators?

No. Instead Maher actually bonded with the extremist author and lecturer on their shared anti-Muslim views. Yiannopoulos complimented Maher: "You're sound on Islam unlike most people on your show." To which Maher glowingly responded, "Yes, that's true." (Although when Maher remarked that all religions were "stupid and dangerous," Yiannopoulos pushed back noting that, as a Catholic, he thinks his own faith is great.)

Good point on Gutfeld's show on Fox tonight: Democrats are now the old cranky no sense of humor crowd. Republicans are funny, young, and counter culture now.

Milo is a libertarian, anti-globalist.

He’s not racist and the meltdown from leftists is insane.

Milo made a good point after the latest college riots over his appearing that leftists have lost their ability to debate. They can’t engage us on ideas. They resort to name calling, yelling, and violence.

Libturds regurgitate the same “white supremacist” b.s. talking points without knowing anything about Milo or Breitbart.

To liberals freedom of speech means freedom from ever having to hear speech they don’t like.

Liberals are like 4 year olds sticking their fingers in their ears yelling, “NAH NAH NAH NAH NAH” to drown out anything they don’t want to hear.

The delusional leftist media presented Trump as “literally Hitler” to their readers and viewers. This is why they went into complete batsh*t crazy mode. They honestly believe they’re living in some type of National Socialist state. (Of course, they always said they wanted socialism...)

The new leftist excuse to silence all opposition is, “Hate speech is non speech.” This Orwellian phrase means, “Anyone I disagree with has to shut up... or else!”

Easy to see how Communist and other leftist regimes in the 20th century murdered 100 million of their own people. Given the ability to do so, is there any doubt these nutcases wold carry out similar ‘re-education’ and ethnic cleansing of us?

Milo is also a big threat to him.

Dems are trying to chop up the country and create ‘deal breaker issues’ where various groups see themselves as oppressed and in need of big government and the Democrats.

Milo is young, hip, gay, and confrontational. He appeals to young college audiences. He’s a good debater and he absolutely trashes the few leftists who stop screaming and try to engage him in actual conversation.

Is college “rape culture” a fiction? Maybe that’s something that needs to be discussed.

Haven’t had much of a chance in years to give Maher some props. But giving them tonight.

It’s damn party of thugs. Every decent soul registered Democratic should at least switch to Independent.

Although the article is an opinion piece, it’s hatred that is still advanced by Corrupt News Network. Hopefully ATT will kick Zucker out the back door.

Milo is a young, amusing homo. The ‘rats see themselves as ....
The Democrats—to use an expression my father used once in describing an NVA division trying to escape that he backed up against a river with Arc Light ... they don’t know whether to **** or go blind.

The go-to media authority on that subject would be Rolling Stone.

Ha! You and I have been around here forever, and I think ALL of us have missed the point. This isn’t a tussle between Democrats and Republicans or Liberals And Conservatives. I think what this all comes down to is a clash between people who have a sense of humor, and those who prefer to live their lives in a serious morass of darkness, in which they or their friends or people they know on Facebook are victims! Victims, I tell you!

We need to laugh at them. A lot.

He might have asked Helen Thomas the same question, but I doubt he ever did.

Back a little before the election I saw an anti-Milo protest at some university where he was going to be speaking. The interviewer was trolling the clueless college kiddies. One young black man interviewed was actually very nice and tried to answer the questions as best he could. He had to admit, though, that he'd never actually heard of Milo until earlier that day when his "friend Jessica" invited him to the protest. Jessica had "informed" him that Milo was a racist and a homophobe, among other things. He couldn't give the interviewer any specifics, just that little bit that "Jessica" had shared with him. He didn't think a racist homophobe should be allowed to speak on their campus. Why the interviewer didn't point out that Milo is gay and that he prefers to date black guys, I'll never know. I almost felt sorry for the college kid, as he was clearly just a sincere little moron, probably hoping to get into "Jessica's" trousers later that evening.
