Bill Maher - classic!

i watched that milo thing and he shouldn't be on t.v. because he's dumb and embarrassing not because he's a nazi. it's just kind of excruciating to watch someone that old act like such a stupid little kid and be that unfunny. i dunno, maybe it was a public service. i don't fear that guy leading a nazi army or anything. i can't imagine him appealing to people outside of the shock the olds 4chan doofus camp. and i really don't fear them. not saying they can't do damage, but they are perpetual children.

scott otm. i couldn't make it more than 2 minutes in - milo is unwatchable and it has nothing to do w/ anything he believes unless u think that believing in heinous things has a permanently deleterious effect on your personality.

That Jack Kingston guy could hardly keep a straight face when expressing "concerns" about voter fraud.

"i don't fear that guy leading a nazi army or anything."

That's... pretty close to what he did online?

The "i don't fear that guy leading a nazi army or anything" is pure homophobia (albeit an admittedly strange version of it). Not saying that Milo isn't a twerp, but between Bill's likening him to Bruno (and even referring to him as a "fag") and the security guy (I believe it was) who made the aforementioned comment, the assumption that he's harmless because he looks and acts like a circa 2000 gay club kid neuters him in a way that I should feel worse about...and might, were he not such a piece of shit.

seriously scott crypto is right. this is a guy who incites a massive crew online to harass, stalk, and terrorize people. he's not some harmless caricature -- that's his feint. he's an aggressive, heartless piece of shit.

i said that they could do damage.

i mean i know they do. and its not a gay thing. there are just people who are good at getting into power who i fear more. like bannon. people with tons of scary money behind them. i mean i fear david duke in 2017 A LOT more.

i just think he's a PR machine who is in it to make a buck basically. and that he probably doesn't care about 95% of the things he says. and he's bad at it. that's all. and he'll probably fade away when everyone gets tired of him. but maybe that's wishful thinking. people like sarah palin scare me more. as far as the banality of evil thing goes.

neither milo nor palin are really banal but then again neither was eichmann; he was just a prodigious liar.

Sarah palin is powerless

but that's it. i'm never talking about him again! he is amateur hour. he's sooooo unfunny and cringey. it was pretty mean to those other people on that show to have him there. you can't have a conversation with someone like that. not a real conversation.

people still listen to sarah palin! i know its hard to believe.

Thing with Milo and his ilk is they will immediately make the conversation about "free speech vs political correctness" and if you don't shut down that bullshit straight away you have done nothing but given them an advert. Bill Maher has no ability to challenge this narrative, none at all, he's one of the "anti PC" people himself, he hosted Politically Incorrect FFS. Of course nobody here is going to be swayed by Milo, but sure there are a lot of people out there who thought he was cuddly, harmless and "told it like it is."

i've never heard this creature but

it's just kind of excruciating to watch someone that old act like such a stupid little kid and be that unfunny.

so the gays object only to his ideology, sounds like. that's half the ppl on the cover of OUT.

He's more dangerous than the OUT twinks.

if he was just some vacuous twink trying to be funny it would be one thing but he's supposed to be some sort of spokesman or something? for some sort of movement? and he's completely dumb and its hard to listen to him. and so not funny or cute and jesus does he ever try hard to be funny and cute.

wait, i was never talking about him again....

I stopped even finding him interesting after I learned that he's just a devout and chauvinistic Catholic whose pov comes from believing that "Catholics are right about everything" (the literal title of one of his speeches).

Sort of like learning that Moldbug just wants corporate CEOs to run everything.

Lapsed Catholics are right about everything but lack the requisite certainty to act

(Perrin used to write for Maher)

seriously scott crypto is right. this is a guy who incites a massive crew online to harass, stalk, and terrorize people. he's not some harmless caricature -- that's his feint. he's an aggressive, heartless piece of shit

This is correct.

It should be clear to all at this point that the shittiest, dumbest celebrities can be the most dangerous.

Treeship, you're like this board's Bill Maher

What i meant by that is your constantly smoking weed, dating strippers, and hosting a weekly politics show on HBO. I hope I didn't overstep my bounds there

Well well well

Milo Yiannopoulos looks like someone's Dad who just discovered My Chemical Romance

this is a savage dig and would really get under his skin

can't believe a childish and unfunny person is on bill mayers show

this is still the best Milo Yiannopoulos lookalike imo: https://twitter.com/Crass_Effect/status/688066745261764608

This burn thread is delightful:

Fuck Bill Maher for providing a platform to and furthering the normalization of this piece of shit. That shit coming from ostensible 'allies' (which I know, in this case, is a pretty heady perversion of the word 'ally') is so much more pernicious than the promotion of people like this from the expected quarters. And there's no take backs once the damage is done. Like, sorry Lorne, you can get Baldwin to buffoon it up every Saturday night until NBC comes under the control of the state but that doesn't supersede your willingness to let the Beast himself host your show.

people should say this kinda thing every day though. to anyone who will listen.

Pretty good

I like the interview where Bill Burr rips Maher a new one about political correctness

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYuKkw6L2bE

this was completely awful

utter trash basically

What I think people saw was an emotionally needy Ann Coulter wannabe, trying to make a buck off of the left’s propensity for outrage. And by the end of the weekend, by dinnertime Monday, he’s dropped as a speaker at CPAC. Then he’s dropped by Breitbart, and his book deal falls through. As I say, sunlight is the best disinfectant. You’re welcome.

oh fuck off

oh and "emotionally needy" reads as thinly veiled homophobia to me but I don't really feel like shielding milo at all so uhh idk

“it was never going to be enough for that slice of liberalism that would much rather judge a friend than engage an enemy, because it’s easier.”

didn't seem like you engaged him too much tbh

LOL maher is so horribly predictable

so hot

I remember watching that. Can't believe I'm gonna do this, but

That's pretty much the host's job: stake out one of the more extreme positions, get everyone het up and arguing, make them define their position as best they can. Rollins does well.

Haven't watched PI in literally 15 years until Milo but I think Maher's not wrong to take credit for his (probably) temporary setback. The hangman doesn't need to shout and protest, he just needs to provide the rope.
