Glenn Beck and Soros have what to do with each other exactly?
I love this place. We've gone from willfully ignoring where I say, "hey I fully understand this was a publication that identifies with the right that started all of this and put the narrative out there" to dropping the name of essentially the closest thing we have on this world to a real life Bond villain (I'd argue even the creators of Quantum of Solace agree since they named the freaking villains company after Soros' wealth management fund). And rather then paint me as some sort of crazy conspiracy theorist (even though Soros does actually indirectly pay anarchist protesters), maybe I don't know...look to the source of who started the "Milo is a Pedo" nonsense and it'll take you right to TheBlaze. Which of course, was never even freaking taken seriously until yesterday.
Badg, even though we agree on next to nothing when it comes to politics, I always appreciate you approaching things from a cerebral perspective (yea, freak you SG you idiot), but this comment was literally retarded.
I'm gonna be nice and ignore the Soros conspiracy stuff and offer the measured response you deserve.
Why would you (or anyone) waste your time, energy, and credibility defending MY?
His entire shtick is based on two things: he says "non-PC" things to get a rise out of people (basically trolling) and being the token gay guy that the right can point to and say "It can't be homophobic/sexist/racist if Milo said it!"
I've been aware of him long before his recent rise to national prominence, and he was probably better off staying on the fringe of political commentary.
I agree that age of consent is a nuanced issue, I agree that we throw the word pedophile around too liberally, and I know he just made the priest comment for shock value. I'm not going to disavow Bill Maher or anyone else for having him on their show. But no way would I ever defend this guy.
Just let the left eat him so they can feel like they won something, and he can go back to the echo chamber he belongs in.
