I wouldn't give Yiannapolis the benefit of the doubt. He's a hateful idiot. He doxxed and harrassed a transgender student while speaking at the University of Wisconsin last year.Quote:

You aren't wrong for thinking he is unimportant. He is a Neo-Nazi that is only famous among the alt-right on Twitter, reddit and 4chan.Quote:

I agree that people with differing opinions should not be banned but the issue here is that Milo spreads LIES, as he did last night on the show by saying that transgender people were “vastly disproportionately involved in sex crime.”
There are no crime statistics to back up this claim. Milo lied, pure and simple.
--
The only statistics that do support the claim show that when transgendered citizens are involved in sex crimes, it is as the victims of crime, which you can find in this link-

In this age of fake news it's essential that media provide no platforms whatsoever for proven liars.
--Why then is Donald Trump, a proven liar, given a public platform -how do you ban a President from giving a speech, regardless of the rubbish he talks?
For one thing, I wouldn't report on his campaign rally this weekend unless he said something newsworthy.Quote:

I guess I'm being biased, but then he says gender reassignment doesn't work, and should be changed. Well, no medical procedure is perfect. MOST TS women who transition live normal lives afterwards. Even if they need therapy, so what? people with depression or bipolar may need lifelong therapy, but they can still function, get a job, get married, etc.
That said, he's right on most other issues. Just he triggers people with sinister agendas, and who don't like being wrong.
With Milo,
Nothing is easy nor is it clear-cut - and here's an example.
If you are pro-transgender rights, but think Milo is a racist, well...think about how those Muslim countries (that are causing you to label Milo as a racist) treat transgender women.
I had heard about this Milo Yiannopoulos guy before, but I never knew what he was about until the other night. This is the guy that caused people on the left to freak out and destroy property on Berkley's campus?
You want to defeat someone like Milo you do it like this. He shouldn't be banned from making television appearances. Rather he should be allowed to speak, make his points, and tell his hack jokes. Then you counter the points that he is wrong about with facts and since he gets off on people getting upset about what he says, you ignore him when he says something that you find offensive. No reaction is better than groaning and showing him that he is getting underneath your skin.
I really like Milo. He really speaks his mind, and does not allow the poison ideology of political correctness to limit his free thought or free speech in any way. He is a real smart person.
