It is Tuesday, February 21. Milo the Troll was just canned by Breitbart "News" for claiming pederasty is a good thing.
By Friday, February 24, the entire hard right will be claiming Milo did nothing wrong, that he has Freedom of Speech and he was silenced by the "loony left" for daring to express an unpopular opinion. This Sunday's talk shows will be covered up with it. Trump will go into a tweetstorm. Congress will demand investigations. And the Conservative Man in the Street, perhaps not realizing what Milo's "unpopular opinion" was, will use this incident as further proof that Liberals Are Evil And Need To All Be Killed.

(82,849 posts)Check the comments on any story about this odious man, and you'll run into (sooner rather than later) some nonsense about how it's really the libtards who are running CPAC and Breitbart, and they've been just horrible to poor, put-upon Milo. No, they're not defending pedophilia, but you can see how the tape of Milo was doctored, and he's really the victim in all this, and maybe they wouldn't let Milo babysit their own kids, but something something arglebargle INTOLERANT!
