I have seen the enemy, and they is us: the Daily Caller, an establishment conservative publication, just hired Milo Yiannopoulos to write a weekly column. When they started getting heat for doing so, they fired him immediately — and then claimed that they had never hired him in the first place. You can read all about it here.
Milo was not the only casualty: the Daily Caller also fired their opinion editor, Rob Mariani, who had agreed to give Milo the weekly column. CNN noted: “The Daily Caller came under immediate fire on social media for giving platform to Yiannopoulos, a controversial figure associated with white nationalism who resigned from the right-wing Breitbart website earlier this year over comments he made about pederasty. Robert Mercer, the billionaire conservative donor, said earlier this week that he was ‘mistaken’ to have supported Yiannopoulos and that he was severing ties.”
This follows a horrible, self-destructive pattern on the right. While the left always circles the wagons and protects their own, whenever the left starts to pick off people on the right, conservatives form a circular firing squad. It’s the right that has targeted Milo. This is all their doing. The recent BuzzFeed hit piece targeting Milo’s donor Robert Mercer was clearly by a right-wing insider. We expect the left to target our most effective, charismatic leaders — it’s what they do. But the right doing their bidding is unforgivable. The right, not the left, is making Milo more toxic than… even me, and I’ve been smeared, defamed and vilified for years. But it won’t work.
Milo is a phenomenon, hugely popular with millennials — something the right sorely lacks. Milo was the only one who would publish my book, FATWA: Hunted in America, and it’s a bestseller. He is, for all the wonderful drama and theater, an important voice for us. But the right is too cowed and intimidated by the vicious left-wing primitives than stand with intellectual leaders who are true to our political philosophy of individual rights and equality for all before the law.
The most vicious attacks on him come from the right. The left doesn’t have to do anything. We are doing a fine job destroying ourselves. Part jealousy (at his success), part fear (of attacks from the cultural elites), the right was wicked quick to throw Milo under the bus. And it’s not just Milo. The best (or should I say worst) example of the right’s war on the right is that they destroy Trump right-wing elites.
Conservative leaders and flagship publications readily acquiesce to the left’s demonization of the right’s most effective politicians, spokesmen, and activists. Most people today still assume that America has a thriving two-party system, representing two mainstream and opposing visions for America and together embodying the views of the overwhelming majority of Americans. In reality, the Republican Party and the American conservative movement are deeply damaged, vastly diminished in size and scope, and increasingly unrepresentative of any genuine or effective opposition to the Left and the Democrats.
Even now, when the Republicans have majorities in Congress, they allow the left to dictate the political agenda. read more
Effing doormats, the Republicans.
The GOPe, country club elite, has long held control of the Republican party to the point it is indistinguishable from the Progressive/Socialist Democrats.
Today the worst of the GOPe is represented by Paul Ryan and Mitch McCONnel. Inept and unprincipled at best, undermining obstructionists at their worst. They’ve heard the voters and have chosen to ignore their demands by creating a bottle neck in the legislative process.
Their failures, they blame on the self imposed legislative rules the democrats created and ignored to pass Obama’s agenda. Not only have they not supported the Trump’s agenda, they have by default continued the most damaging of Obama’s progressive/socialist agenda.
The GOPe’s unprincipled progressive agenda has become the flip side of the democrat/socialist coin. Both being fueled by liberal/progressive special interest groups. The GOPe’s loyalties are to themselves. The casualties are the President, the future of the American People, the Constitution and the very foundation of our Republic.
The Swamp has no ideological boundaries, some of the largest and lethargic reptiles in the murky waters of DC are the GOPe.
I think I read on teh interwebz that one of the Judds says he’s nasty. I think (;) that’s good (;) enough for me.
Milo “I like to suck a lot of black cock,” whose boyfriend owns one of said members, is a white supremacist?
Not a fan of this genre. Is he what it takes to capture younger voters? Sick.
If I was gay, I’d pursue Milo 24/7/365. However, I’m not, so I’ll just continue to say he’s an awesome asset to the right.
Yeah his lifestyle is a little rough for me, but that’s the point, IT’S HIS LIFESTYLE.
Only a liberal demonizes someone else for their choice.
Milo’s a winner, a fighter. Fearless, articulate and funny. Kid can hold his own, anywhere.
Pam Geller is right. As always. What a heroine she is.
We are seeing who the real Enemies Within are. Some were obvious. Some are a surprise. We are much, much better off without them. Nothing’s more damaging than an embedded Saboteur.
I mentioned in another thread how squishy and increasingly Left-leaning the Daily Caller has been since before the election. Still some good pieces, but increasingly they read like Kristol and Erickson with a dash of Colbert/Kimmel/Alec Baldwin for clickbait spice.
My brilliant wonderful better half, no fan of fudge packers, just loves Milo. 😀
Another great conservative pro-Western voice, maybe the last sane man in the U.K., is Pat Condell on youTube.
ALL Sodomites, whether conservative or not, are ALWAYS and AT ALL TIMES and immediate threat to children.
My message to Mil, “Stop pretending to be on my side, As long as you are a fag, can never be a true conservative.”
“As long as you are a fag, can never be a true conservative.”
Now I’ve got to reconsider my lifestyle choices before the weekend.
Thanks for the extra work, IOTWR.
@not that, LOL. Reminds me of a coworker who was totally straight, totally not gay.
Every weekend he would somehow wind up in gay bars, get blind drunk, and wake up in some bed with three or four strange gay guys.
But he himself was totally not gay. Not even a little. LOL.
RINO’s and establishment hacks don’t make up “the right”. I would take issue with the oxymoron wording “establishment conservative”.
Left-wing sharia law is a powerful tool only if you let it affect you.
When you shame them on their lack of standards, they just call you a name and shrug it off. Why not do the same?
Milo’s comments are an act in public to get the attention of the youth and wake them up.
If you don’t like it you are free to walk out. On the other hand, the GOPe does their dirty deeds behind closed doors and we are all affected. We can’t afford to turn anyone away at this point in history.
