    Now watch the Rope-A-Dope Walt……yesterday Paul was losing his mind about the statement Yiannopolis made…..today when confronted with information that runs counter to the narrative his focus changes. “What….I didn’t have anything to do with Milo getting fired” (nobody ever implied that he did). “Have you called to complain” (much like his endless questions now the onus is on you). “I don’t know how you can expect me to know about those other things/people from so far back” (well he was sure interested in the topic yesterday….as long as it was in support of his position. And with all that information just a couple of keyboards strokes away).

    For all of you true believers especially Don Bessee:
    According to the Pulitizer prize winning fact check organization PolitiFact, a study made during the general election campaign revealed:
    4% of trump’s statements during the general election were rated as “true”
    12% mostly true
    14% half true
    19% were mostly false
    33% were false
    17% were pants on fire lies
    Clinton got the following:
    25% true
    26% mostly true
    24% half true
    14% mostly false
    10% false
    2% pants on fire lies
    So whose pants are really on fire Don, yours?

    Robert Cross: Wow, good stuf and yet you still lost. Amazing.
    What you guys don’t understand is there was no populous movement. None. Years ago the Deplorables made their move, picking up some Congressional seats. Then more and more, well before any Republican Presidential Canidate entered the primaries. By the time The Deplorables reached late 2016, we took the House, the Senate, 30 Governorships, 34 or so statehouse legislative bodies, and on March 20th the Senate confirmation hearings start of the next Supreme Court Justice, the youngest ever nominated.
    Whether it was Trump or Cruz, it did not matter all in all. That was #1 and #2. No moderates, no liberals, no RINOs. Period.
    So, keep focusing on Trump and how awful he is. Makes you look like Bitter Clingers. Keep your eyes on Trump and continue to miss the forest from the trees and fail to see that we Deplorables did it all and never get any of the credit. Focus on Trump every second and wonder where in the heck did that train come from that hit you at full speed. And the Deplorables are not even close to being done, albeit we are on cruise control.
    Yep, keep being a Bitter Clinger and think it’s all about Trump. You are so cute. ๐Ÿ™‚

    “I’ve listened to his words and found them personally offensive.”
    Paul 4.22 — I’ve listened to his words and found them to be Constitutionally protected political speech and often hilarious because they usually found the soft spot of the snowflakes who thought they were afforded protection by law.
    Remind me… you’ve declared yourself to be a Libertarian… why do you think a President loses their 1st Amendment rights to criticize the Press (including “journalists” like Mika B. who, thanks to a serial offender, thinks her job is to help control what people think)?
    You might reread Gulliver’s Travels, very offensive political satire of the time. Or maybe “A Modest Proposal” another one by Swift, how to deal with the starving unproductive Irish, breeding like bunnies as directed by Rome, irrespective of their financial situation: “A young healthy child well nursed, is, at a year old, a most delicious nourishing and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled; and I make no doubt that it will equally serve in a fricassee, or a ragout.”

    the reason Milo was cancelled at Berkeley was not an issue of free speech but because of Demonstrations that turned violent. Milo was cancelled by CPAC and he lost his book deal and his job with Breitbart because of his supporting sex with minors. There is no comparison to the situations so how can I answer those stupid questions. Indeed UV Berkeley was honoring his right to free speech by having him speak on canvas and the speech was cancelled by the police. By the way, I don’t support violent demonstrations. Milo is not an American Citizen and UC Berkeley was accommodating free speech by inviting him to the campus.
    If there is a problem with free speech it should be leveled at CPAC who flipped on him when audio of him supporting sex with minors became public.
    For Todd
    Another example of a Milo interview that showed Yiannopoulos joking about having sex with his priest when he was 14 years old has emerged. He claimed it was a great experience and went on to discuss parties he’s attended where adult men were having sex with young boys. A great time was had by all, according to Milo. I’m sure Milo appreciates your lobbying for him at CPAC

    Oh Paul Emery, you just don’t understand outrageous talk. I am sure if you were forthcoming about your own peccadillos in the Union or KVMR you too might get some press.
    Milo is not someone I would suggest the faint at heart should emulate. But when a person tells the truth about liberals this is what happens. And the porn industry is wholly owned by the left in Sherman Oaks.

    Here’s an intro to Milo talking about getting his unit sucked by his Priest and how it was ok because he was a “mature 14 year old” . This is who Todd supports and claims should have been allowed to speak at CPAC.
    “Watch Milo Yiannopoulos defend adults having sex with 14 year olds, 30 year olds being attracted to 15 year olds, as well as not giving up the names of Hollywood child abusers he met during parties.”
