(4,742 posts)What's up with that??

(135,425 posts)He has no center--he just wants to make people outraged.
He's an ultimate loser who deserves utter mockery.
Berkeley fucked up by not having him. They should have had him....FOR LUNCH.

(4,742 posts)I couldn't believe THIS is what everyone was going nuts over. let him speak. He's a complete moron. Those eye rolls...looking at the ceiling when he talks. All big tells for lying and making shit up.
Can you imagine all those hard core right wing rednecks watching this pearl wearing fuck?
MADem
(135,425 posts)a reaction. He's REACHING for a reaction to the cognitive dissonance he creates.
"How can he possibly be gay and be so hateful?"
"How can he call people triggered and snowflakes when he has endured discrimination?"
ETC.....etc.....etc.....
It's (as Maher alluded to, but many people are too young to remember) an Andy Kaufman-esque performance art piece, only this punk is not very talented like AK was, he ain't too smart, his schtick is derivative, and he was slapped like a naughty word by the former senior chief intel dude, along with Larry Wilmore. Don't go after Leslie Jones--just don't, fucker! Leslie has friends--and fans.
He's not a Christopher Hitchens, though, like Maher suggested he could be--he's a fucking flash in the pan. I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up dead by his own hand. His middle name should be "Hot Mess."

(5,106 posts)My daughter (who came to appreciate him in his last years), named her cat "Hitchens," in tribute. Just short of "most humorous" (counting yearbook votes) in my H.S. class, I find Milo counts, along with Beavis and Butthead, as humor which eludes me with age. Love "South Park," however.

(42,641 posts)A third rate intellect at best. He would receive no attention if he was not a useful idiot for the right. (Sorry Comrade Lenin for borrowing your words here.)
MADem
(135,425 posts)for the very first time and learned that he was a fucking clueless and petulant pissant.
The boogie man is nothing more than a dried up booger.
guillaumeb
(42,641 posts)But he would not debate, he prefers to insult from the platform with no real dialogue possible.
And he allows the right wing to claim that their message cannot be discussed. Painting the right wing (which in fact owns the media) as being shut out of the debate.

(3,208 posts)I was only familiar with this young man vaguely. He seems very immature but wants everyone to think he has some intelligence. I did not get what he was trying to say because he seemed all rolly eyed and rolling his head around. I think he must have a deep hatred for himself.
The panel was very interesting, even the old repub. wasn't that bad,but this Milo character judged them "awful".
I would love for the older, former spy guy (forgot his name) to take this dude out for a few drinks after the show and teach him a few things about life.

(65,409 posts)always shouts over everyone else during the actual show, so when he is on no one else can get a word in edgewise.
MADem
(135,425 posts)He's probably become accustomed to being interrupted so he's off his usual game.
is having identity problems, he is the editor of Breitbart???? Bannon likes them young huh???
What a twit.

Thanks a fucking lot Bill Maher! You've just RAISED his stature! You've LEGITIMIZED him!
We'll only see more of that little SHIT now that you've helped him by giving him a NATIONAL PLATFORM!
I knew this would happen. Milo now has yet another line-item to add to his CV and his IMDB page thanks to Bill Maher.
And did I hear Bill correctly? Did he say that it "sounds reasonable" that transgendered women shouldn't be permitted to use the ladies' room because they're "confused" or that they put other women and girls at risk? (I'll have to see if I can find the transcript, I'm not inclined to go searching the entire youtube video to double check and get an exact quote.)

I generally like Mahr and his show, but when he promotes the careers of the a**h**es, I want to smack him upside the head.

(3,077 posts)Not only Wilmore but Nance as well. I really like Malcolm Nance. Thanks Jeremy Scahill for cancelling. Milo is ridiculous. He says shitty things but he got exposed here.
tblue37
(65,409 posts)they both shout constantly over everyone else so that you can't hear anything anyone says.
And that Milo jerk really, really, really will not shut the F up, not for one single second. He needs to be ignored, not given a platform to spew his nonstop (and absolutely tedious) BS so he can become (in)famous enough to have a lucrative career as a hate monger.
JenniferJuniper
(4,512 posts)By having him on he totally demystified him and now anyone who didn't know before now knows Milo Whatshisname is nothing but an attention whore who is insanely jealous of Ann Coulter.
Moving on....

(65,409 posts)Milo What's his name shout everyone down so you cannot hear a thing anyone says. I hate shout TV, but that is what so many of his right winger guests turn the panel into.

(205,545 posts)I missed the very beginning, was taking my dog out so I was going to watch the repeat, guess I won't bother now. I was particularly glad to see Larry Wilmore, was bummed out when they canceled his show, and I agree with the previous posts that Malcolm Nance is a national treasure. We need to see more of him and to hell with the token RWer guests. Bill's audience doesn't tune in to see RW guests, we see enough of them on the news...
Guilded Lilly
(5,591 posts)It has been made quite clear what he respresents and how sub intellectual he is.

(985 posts)Too bad he wasn't one of the panelists talking for 40 minutes. He would have been eviscerated.

Malcolm Nance was gutsy too.

(50,560 posts)The hard right really likes to pretend...Trump likes to pretend he is loved and respected, Palin likes to pretend she's intelligent, Ann Coulter likes to pretend she's a human being...the degree of homophobia Milo projects is so extreme and disgusting, there's no more than a 50-50 chance he's actually gay. Last I checked they'll sell pearl necklaces to anyone.
LittleGirl
(8,287 posts)until the Berkley riot and I'm glad that Bill had him on the show. I haven't seen the first segment yet so the only impression I have of him now is this overtime video. I had no idea that someone so homophobic could be so feminine. He's confused about his sexuality or he's a good actor because I truly believe he's gay. I won't go to breitbart to read his crap so I think Bill did us all a service to present him to the left. Like I said, I've never heard of this guy before. Expose them to us and let Nance and Wilmore tell him to go fuck himself so I can cheer them on.

Whoever the hell he is, he seems to need attention as desperately as Trumplethinskin.
