More defense by distraction.
You don't think the partisan nature of outrage is relevant? What milo said was deplorable but the coordinated meltdown has zero credibility.

Breitbart is still trying to decide whether or not to cut this guy loose?

Why has Sarah Silverman not been attacked and boycotted and dissociated with? Why are we not able to just snort at his comments and move on with our lives like we all did with Sarah Silverman?
I can quote you tons of right wing sites and posts that DEFINITELY didn't just snort at Silverman's comments and pretty much all of those are still calling Lena Dunham a child rapist....she may be, but let's not try to justify fighting hypocrisy with more hypocrisy.
HBO to cut ties with Lena Dunham after admitting she molested her sister.
Hillary Clinton cannot be democrat nominee after tape of her laughing about a child rape
The above are not headlines
Why are conservatives held to a higher standard? Are conservatives supposed to be better people?

Gosh, I didn't know that accepting the view that children are not held to the same standards of conduct as adults was merely "lawyer tactics." So glad that only lawyers appear to believe that to be true. I feel better "infromed" already.What's the age of accountability for molestation?
Your lawyer tactics are dispicable but I think that is part of your first year law school orientation. Hillary Clinton laughed at a child rapist passing his lie detector test because she knew he was guilty. Are you familiar with the details of the case? Just a short google if not. Not one thing is laughable about the whole case. You also left out the part about her accusing the child about fantasizing about older men and dreaming up the abusive rape. Oops.
Is it part of your law school background to attack someone you know is a victim to do your obligation?
What she did was way worse than Donald trump being pleasantly received by groupies whose pussies he grabbed but again where can I find this fair coverage by indignant lefties?
At the press level but not down here on the random message board level.
I'm not justifying anything but I listen to all news sources. Has Fox News covered both stories? Are the op eds at nyt and wash po even handed? CNN? Right wing sites often identify as right wing sites. Main stream media cannot be believed on anything they say because they choose sides on despicable things like this.
Look at what will happen if briebart doesn't fire milo. It will be facemelting condemnation from what is supposed to be a free press that ignored the Hillary tape and legal tactics used in that case.
I get what you are saying but I'm being even handed in my outrage of both sides. You cannot tell me you don't want to gouge your eyes out watching Meryl Streep fake cry about the guy with the gammy hand and give Polanski a standing ovation. That is mental illness to be able to compartmentalize like that.
So an unemployed immigrant? Get his ass out of here.
Milo resigns from Brietbart News and issues statement. Don't know if this has been mentioned here yet.

You left out the part where he says he agrees with the current age of consent."My experiences as a victim led me to believe I could say anything I wanted to on this subject, no matter how outrageous. But I understand that my usual blend of British sarcasm, provocation and gallows humor might have come across as flippancy, a lack of care for other victims or, worse, “advocacy.” I am horrified by that impression.
I would like to restate my disgust at adults who sexually abuse minors. I am horrified by pedophilia and I have devoted large portions of my career as a journalist to exposing child abusers. "
He should have just stopped there.... That's a believable apology.
But no, he had to go on from there and finger point, spin and make excuses. Nothing has changed in his mind, and unfortunately, I doubt much has changed in many of his fan's minds. He's casting himself as a wichunt victim and most of his fans will eat it up after a 2 or 3 day pause.

So someone a day shy of 17 isn't ever mature enough but anyone 18 years is?No I didn't its in the original video I linked (I believe, I'll recheck). Milo's trying to spin that since some version of the video out there has that part edited out, its all a witch hunt.
The thing is...that line doesn't alter what he was saying at all. He's saying in the video... "I think the law is about right, but I think there are cases where its morally ok."
The "I think the law is about right" wasn't at odds with the rest of his statements. Its like me saying "I think dui laws are about right, but I'm don't believe someone is a bad person for driving home from their friends house 1 mile down a gravel road at 5pm."
The first half isn't at odds with the 2nd half.....that's the way Milo was using it as well. Except of course ... pedophilia ... instead of driving buzzed one mile down a gravel road.
So someone a day shy of 17 isn't ever mature enough but anyone 18 years is?
Are there instances where it's morally ok with someone shy of 18?Your going to have to actually form a relevant question for me to understand what you are getting at. I don't see what this has to do with this thread.

How does it not?Sure.
You haven't explained what that has to do with any of this though.

I'll probably get in trouble for this but how many times have we seen an underage boy hook up with a hot female teacher and say "that lucky bastard" while fully admitting that a male teacher with a female student was more alarming and should be prosecuted differently. I'll admit Ive said that a lot. Now throw that into male teacher and male student. According to our biology and accepted differences we say women are emotional about sex and males are more physical. We know why gay bath houses were aids factories in the eighties because there is no female in the relationship saying slow down, let's talk, take me out to the movies, rub my back. I cannot imagine having a partner as horny as me or let alone having a whole room full of them. I've had some horny ones but they were still females.
Maybe this is something we don't understand. What's the age? Who knows, the law is the law and everyone should respect that but human nature or gay human nature is a different thing. There is probably some nuance in what milo is saying but he is wrong when he says thirteen or fourteen.
It is odd to think about who was hooking up at fourteen/fifteen at my school. If I had any offers I would have been for sure. And it would have been another 14/15 or a thirty year old teacher and I would have loved it. I only knew one gay guy and supposedly he was messing around with everyone in town according to him now. The whole town was gay according to him.
My man, there are some fights not worth fighting.And you STILL haven't explained it.
Have you actually watched the video?
