7. Trump will be giving him a one way ticket back to the UK soon....

[dhol82]

8. Now if only we could get Ann Coulter to say something equally outrageous we would be way ahead.

9. Too little too late S&S

You were fine with racism and misogyny from him. And you would have been fine with his pedophilia as well if it hadn't gotten such a negative backlist in the public sphere.

That the first two are still "acceptable" says far too much.

10. Looks like he's heading for a trifecta:

The Hill ✔ @thehill

JUST IN: Breitbart employees threaten to leave if Yiannopoulos is not fired http://hill.cm/bHl8wqW

As for the S&S/Threshold Editions deal, he'll probably do OK financially out of the cancellation, I'm afraid.

25. That's the straw for these guys?

[Denzil_DC]

26. Openly advocating pedophilia's a political live rail?

Go figure ...

[ck4829]

27. As it should be, but after everything else, one would almost think they'd have no limit

Good to know there's decency somewhere in there.

[DemocraticSocialist8]

11. AAAAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[Johnny2X2X]

12. Breitbart

This guy is best buddies with the most powerful person Trump has working for him, Bannon. Absolutely horrific. Bannon makes Milo look like a saint too.

[DemocraticSocialist8]

14. There are so many things wrong with this country

and what's going on right now that it's not even funny.

[DemocraticSocialist8]

13. It hasn't been a good couple of weeks for Milo LOL

UC Berkeley explodes, Bill Maher's panel destroys him, even CPAC drops him, and now his book deal is gone. LOL. I will enjoy this, Milo is not hurting for money or attention. So I will enjoy every 'L' he takes.

[AgadorSparticus]

16. CPAC dropped him now? I didnt know that. Hahahaha

[TrekLuver]

15. OMG LOL...I didn't even get a chance to call/email.

[Gothmog]

17. Yeah

[panader0]

18. Damn--if Milo can get a contract with S and S

there may still be hope for my literary career.

[HipChick]

21. For real

[Maru Kitteh]

19. YAY. I called all their numbers I could find and emailed them too!

WOO HOO!

Yay for #TheResistance!

[kentuck]

20. It's called editing.

Not censorship.

[gratuitous]

23. Nuh uh!

When poor Milo was stopped from speaking at Berkeley, that was censorship, plain and simple. All the people on the right agreed it was so. Now that he's been disinvited from speaking at CPAC (I wonder if he had already been paid his appearance fee, and will CPAC ask for it back?) and lost his book contract (same question about any advance Simon & Schuster might have paid to Milo), I'm sure that in the spirit of their own integrity and philosophical consistency, they'll be shutting down CPAC and demanding that Simon & Schuster publish Milo's deathless prose. Because it's like totally censorship!

[lanlady]

22. Are standards really so low in publishing

--that they would give this potty mouth bigot a book deal in the first place? He is a big nothing, he has accomplished nothing in his life apart from insulting women and minorities. I am glad he is getting his come-uppance but disgusted that such a vile man merited a contract wth S&S to begin with.

[ck4829]

24. K&R

[samnsara]

28. maybe NAMBLA will make him president

[PoliticAverse]

29. "After careful consideration." - maybe they should have given it "careful consideration" originally.

[theglammistress]

30. His supporters are flipping out on Facebook

Morbid curiosity lead me to look at his page. These people are loony tunes! They are Trump voters and this is what we are up against. There is no getting through to these people. Some excerpts:

[NAME] Oh who cares, someone else will pick it up, or self publish on Amazon. You have enough of a following that you can directly market to them and bypass too many middle men. Onward soldier!

[NAME] Time to "man up". Anyone can be all jolly and pleased with themselves when they are riding high. It's how you react when everything's turning to shit that marks you out as a man.

[NAME] Such bullshit. The depths to which liberals will sink to silence opposition is staggering. I'm greatly disappointed by the people who are not standing behind you or standing up for you.

[NAME] It's amazing how the left celebrates censoring someone. How they are happy to have taken away someones freedom of speech. It's even more amazing that they aren't smart enough to realize that makes them the fascists, the oppressors. They are not intelligent enough to understand why they are so hated. People are already fed up with their shit, eventually we will be pushed to the point where a serious purge of the entire left is needed...I can't wait to see the looks on their faces then.
