My prediction re: that Milo guy:

[ret5hd]

Never heard of him before a few weeks ago. Then it was suddenly a barrage. An obnoxious gay publican twit.

I read here on DU somewhere that he is going to do the "cure".

Then the pedophilia stuff.

That's when it all made sense (to me anyway). He's not gay!!! He's playing gay, and is playing gay in the most stereotypical obnoxious disgusting way. He wants everyones revulsion. Pedophilia! Flaming! publican! etc

Now, he goes for the "cure". He sees the error of his ways! He drops bombshell after bombshell about the TRUE gay agenda! Children! Indoctrination! Elementary school teachers! Priests! All tied together in a secret cult! And HE knows 'cause he was in the midst of it all! He was privy to everything! "Teh Gay" is the most evil thing ever! EVER!!!

That's my take on it. Others might have more info that would discount my theory. Just puttin' it out there.

1. I don't know if he is gay or not. That's his business. But a 4chan loser trolling the internet

has more sincerity than this clown.

He's doing the Westboro Baptist grift.

And when that is no longer drawing the attention he probably will take the "cure".

[dchill]

2. Stop! You'll ruin the plan!

[bunnies]

3. Hubby and I were just having this exact conversation.

We agree. It's sick performance art.

[mnhtnbb]

17. I had no knowledge of him. Tuned in to Maher Friday night and thought

he's playing a role.

[bunnies]

18. Same here.

I can't believe anyone falls for it. He's nothing but a troll. Obvious troll is obvious. I plan to simply ignore him going forward. He's in Alex Jones territory as far as I'm concerned.

[onecaliberal]

4. Makes a whole lot of sense.

[BlueCaliDem]

5. He is feeding into the prejudices of RWers that gay men are also pedophiles. THIS HAS TO STOP!!

I'm so sick and tired of RWers portraying gay men as pedophiles when studies have clearly shown that the VAST majority - and I do mean VAST majority - of pedophiles are those "god-fearing, good" and STRAIGHT Xtrian men.

Ugh! This prejudice against gay men simmering inside RWers is really, really pissing me off.

[MindPilot]

6. I totally agree with you.

I had never heard of this Milo dude before the dust-up at Berkeley. I thought he was some old political science prof with really right-wing views.

Then I saw him on Maher.

I think Bill did totally the right thing exposing him on his show; I think there are a lot of people like me who had no idea who this clown is until he was on Real Time.

[putitinD]

7. Bingo!!! That finally makes perfect sense! I wasn't sure what Breitbart was up to, but I think

you nailed it exactly!

[vlyons]

8. more about money

He will do the RWer speaking engagement circuit. Might even get a gig on Fox as a commentator. Or a gig with some fundamentalist. Just another grifter. $$$$$

[randome]

9. And Bill Maher thought he was being clever by letting this loser have airtime.

10. Possible.

I wouldn't put anything past that nazi freak. Whatever suits his and Breitbart's agenda, he'll do it. Plus he hadn't handle being out of the limelight any more than Dolt45.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

11. I think he's just an attention whore doing what attention whores do

His orientation could be a sham or 100% legitimate. That's neither here nor there when it comes to the fact that he's a contemptible asshole of the first degree.

[Dave Starsky]

12. He's an absurd blend of Ann Coulter and Paul Lynde.

I never saw the guy until he showed up on the Maher show. What a joke. This is what all the "fuss" is about?

It's obvious what his shtick is all about, and it's 100% on drawing attention to himself, drawing from every ridiculous stereotype that will play with all the right-wing dumbasses.

[femmocrat]

13. That makes sense.

He is so over-the-top that he must be a huge fake.

[Blaukraut]

14. Yup! I've thought the same thing after he advocated pedophilia n/t

[Blue Idaho]

15. Step One - establish credentials as "unrepentant homosexual"

Step Two - have a "come to Jesus" Moment

Step Three - wow them at CPAC while confirming their anti-LGBT bias.

[dalton99a]

16. Very plausible

[GeorgeGist]

19. He's a flaming asshole.
