Punchy’s fake news 10:33… from all official accounts, the guy resigned to make it easier on breitbart’s management.
Paul, if I wanted to ask the questions you proposed as alternates, I would have asked them. I know you are in the business, having once been management at Center for the Arts a few years ago, and I assumed a renter of the Nevada Theater, tapped into the local scene, you’d have an opinion about how long before Milo, never accused of such a crime as Poundstone, how long before Milo would have to wait before a local venue would either invite Milo or rent the venue to a a group that might want him.
I do find it interesting that actual child neglect and lewd acts by poundstone (who might starve were it not for NPR gigs) while constitutionally protected speech by a Milo (or a Trump) is attacked unmercifally by the united and pissed off Left.

Well Todd you’re complaint about Milo is not with me but with Breitbart and the CPAC. Have you heard back from the CPAC about your request to put him back on? Also did you contact Breitbart with your complaint?
Pressure on Maher and Takei is up to their employers. I don’t recall lobbying CPAC or Breitbart to dump Milo but somebody must have. Any idea where the pressure came from? None of my business.
Also it was the Conservative Reagan Battalion that initially published the video that led to his downfall not the Libs as you like to call them
“Here is the uncut 5 minute video of Milo Yiannopoulos advocating for Pederasty involving “13 Year old” and “older men.” HIS WORDS.

The take-away that the Right has learned is that you might as well go all-in on smear campaigns. Expect Maher/Takei-gate to crank up. The opposition isn’t made up purely of old white men anymore and the young ‘uns have a lot of free time on their hands.

Oh no no Mr. Question Man…..the issue on the table after yesterdays antics is… do you, after excoriating Milo Yiannopolis for his statements feel that those other gentlemen who voiced similar sentiments deserve similar opprobrium?
This is a very simple question. Yesterday you were livid that we wouldn’t condemn Milo as vigorously as you hoped for. When confronted with like behavior in those more aligned with you politically I’m interested to see if you offer up the same level of vitriol.

From my 3rd favorite Libertarian, John Stossel.
.”The press is depressingly shallow. They blow up little things, speculate about conspiracies and constantly obsess about βwhoβs winning?β Offensive remarks are taken out of context and amplified. Days later, itβs forgotten and the media move on to the next sensational accusation. They rarely explain the policies at stake, what those policies cost, past success or failure or the laws of economics.”
Obsess over who’s winning? Hmmm. “Stupid questions don’t deserve answers. Try again. didn’t pass my intelligence screening.”. Well, that is getting the bar barely off the ground.
