[SciFiWright] The libels against Milo Yiannopoulos continue, but the still, small voice of truth is speaking also. Those who were deceived innocently at first now have no excuse.

Within hours, an unedited version of the year-old conversation used to libel Milo was available, as were leaks from the press revealing that the attack was deliberate, coordinated, and duplicitous.

If any man looks at the evidence, pro and con, and decides Milo is secretly an advocate for pedophilia rather than a victim of it and a public crusader whose work has put three pedophiles behind bars, I will not argue the point. At least he looked at the evidence.

A man who condemns, sight unseen, a fellow human soul, taking the word of the Fake New media as gospel, that man has let partisanship overmaster his conscience and common sense.

He has joined a mob. He has joined the Two Minute Hate.

We must, indeed, all hang together or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately.

#5  And if you watch his uncut remarks, you'll find he doesn't advocate pedophillia. Quite the contrary, he has helped to expose offenders. Nor does he defend adults engaging in sex with underage children, though he's a victim himself, with all the mental complication that entails. Milo was attacked by a team of lefties and Nevertrumpers. Personally, he appears to me to be a pretty decent fellow.

#3  Depot Guy, do you have a link to the text version of Milo's unambiguous remarks? (I believe you--I'm not challenging you in that regard--I need the link for a discussion I'm having elsewhere)

#2  Under 'The False Claims Act' the US Federal Government is suing 7-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong for defrauding the USPS. Most view him as a fallen icon that cheated and then lied about his titles. But at the time there was small group that maintained he was a martyr at the hands of a global conspiracy bent on embarrassing the entire US. Recently a tape has surfaced that unambiguously shows conservative provacatuer Milo Yiannopoullos advocating for adult men having sex with children as young 13 years old. The vast majority of the civilized world are revulsed at the mere suggestion. However, there is the tiniest slice of the population that sees the larger story as a shadowy cabal determined to bring down President Trump. The moral of the story is to teach your children not to cheat and lie like Lance. And also to teach them to stay away from perverts like Milo.

#1  Milo's Catholic? And a good one?

I have only read maybe 50 word written by him (in quotes, anyway) and I thought it worth sharing several days ago. Can't find it.

Several opposing points of view have come up here, which is good. How many points of view have been reported by CNN, ABC, CBS, etc.

I thought the author's conclusion was an interesting bit of prose:

FORBIDDEN THOUGHTS has gone up several thousand spots in rank since the mock outrage at the contrived scandal hit.

While this hardly takes the sting out of the gross and barbaric sight of hooting tribes of howler monkeys savaging a victim of sexual child abuse at the one spot in his psychology where he is no doubt most vulnerable, accusing him of being a supporter of the very abuse he suffered and fights, nevertheless, a certain sour sense of satisfaction is in order, for it also hints at the futility of the effort.
