Trigger warnings, safe spaces, and fascism on college campuses

[Uncle Ted]

why do you keep defending trumpism as a libertarian?

I don't have a dog in this fight... but I find it very entertaining to watch the liberals make asses of themselves. It reminds of what conservatives did about eight years ago.

[Uncle Ted]

I really like reading Mr. Scahill's stuff. He is one of the founding editors of The Intercept_ and is a very thoughtful journalist and author. But I'm scratching my head about this announcement he made. Seems wrong-headed. Maher was very critical of his decision to pull out; and I agree with Maher... there is nothing wrong with having a open debate and using it to expose his "hateful, anti-immigrant campaign" if it is that.

Also, I think Scahill uses a bit of hyperbole when he declares that Maher's show is an "large, important platform". lol.

Scahill is just saving his career. If he didn't boycott Maher's show he would lose much of his fanbase. What a wuss.

Kinda Millennial Rush Limbaugh then?

I should add he also is pro fat shaming

[Uncle Ted]

Milo goes out of his way to be offensive and provocative. I think his intent is to be the funny and very offensive messenger of the Breitbart/Bannon trifecta of nationalism, populism, and Judeo-Christian values. He openly scorns feminists, lesbians, other gays, liberals, academia, and is brutal on Islam.

If Milo weren't a gay Jew there is no way he could get away with stuff he says. He gives speeches like "Would you rather your child had cancer or feminism?" and "Birth control makes women crazy and fat."

Milo is just an "entertainer", pimping his upcoming book.

I haven't heard him say anything that I would consider extremely hateful... in fact, the crap the alt-left is saying about him and other "nazis" seems much more hateful.

Well that is the Millennial spin.

Speaking of Yianopoulos' book... It is now the best seller in Political Humor:

https://www.amazon.com/Dangerous-Mil...dp/1501173081/

It doesn't even come out until June. He can thank the liberals for creating a shitstorm and giving his book a lot of attention.

Haha.

Sure Ted. Sure.

Michael Vick was more self-aware.

I appreciate the information you provide

More like gay Ann Coulter.

That is an ugly image that I need to wash out with some victory by BYU.

OK, I guess my dog would be Rand Paul.

Those are sort of obnoxious sounding topics but, really, worth rioting in the streets? Or screaming epithets at people? If that is all there is to him I am not sure what the big deal is. Ignore the troll.

I still can't understand why the left gets so bent out of shape and violent over this guy... and want to shut down free speech.

I have to hand it to Bill Maher for having him on his show. He is one of the last of the true liberals.

Eh, that 10 minutes was it?! Or was there a separate "panel" portion that you didn't share? If not, then much ado about nothing. Enjoy the book sales Milo.
