Liberal unjustifiably melts over MILO, backs out of panel for Bill Maher's show

And it's a beauty, folks
Doesn't she look just as you pictured?

I have decided not to appear this week on Real Time with Bill Maher. Here is my statement:
Today I saw the news that Milo Yiannopoulos is scheduled to be the lead guest on Friday’s episode of Real Time with Bill Maher. I was already scheduled to be a panelist on the program that same evening, along with Larry Wilmore and Jack Kingston. I have decided that I will not be appearing on the show. Before I explain my reasons for this, I want to say that I have had the pleasure of working as a correspondent for Real Time and over the years have been a guest or panelist many times. I have total admiration and respect for the producers, writers, and others who work on the show.
Over the past decade, the people at Real Time have become like family to me. I passionately disagree with—and find offensive— some of Bill’s views, particularly when his comments on Islam and Muslims veer into vitriol. At the same time, I have deep respect for Bill and his voice on many other issues and I believe he and his staff have created a vital platform for debate and discussion that at times I love and other times loathe. I know I fall into the latter category for some of the show’s viewers because I hear from them every time I appear. Whatever one might say about Bill, he always allows guests to challenge him or disagree with him.
But Milo Yiannopoulos is many bridges too far. He has ample venues to spew his hateful diatribes. There is no value in “debating” him. Appearing on Real Time will provide Yiannopoulos with a large, important platform to openly advocate his racist, anti-immigrant campaign. It will be exploited by Yiannopoulos in an attempt to legitimize his hateful agenda. Yiannopoulos’s appearance could also be used to incite violence against immigrants, transgender people, and others at a time when the Trump Administration is already seeking to formalize a war against some of the most vulnerable people in our society. Yiannopoulos has shown he will use his appearances to publicly attack and shame specific ordinary people by name, a practice which could lead to violence or even death. Real Time, of course, has the right to book whomever it wants on its show, including Yiannopoulos. But I cannot participate in an event that will give a platform to such a person. For these reasons, I have informed the producers of Real Time that I will not appear on the show.

Jeremy hates free speech. I love how the Dems have turned against one of their former great tenets.

just another coward, guess the overwhelming count of liberals vs. a random token conservative here and there wasn't met for him

Every lib runs from Milo because they lose and lose big.
They can't refute anything. It's a fun clown show.
Milo has facts.
Libs have feels.
The young kids at college flabbergasted that they are being questioned is one of most a-ha moments.
Because you know those Millennials just grew up in an instant.

Maybe I've missed them but I've watched quite a few Milo videos and read many of his articles/posts and I still can't figure out how he so maligned by the left.. I can only assume it's his job unabashed and unapologetic tone that has many in an uproar.. Sad times for the left when speech is held in such low regard..

Because Milo is a homosexual and refuses to listen to the liberals, who feel like they have a monopoly on telling homosexuals how to act

It's because he's gay.
No, really, that's the reason they hate him.

Someone summed it up well in regards to Milo. If you approach him in a calm civilized manner, he's very polite and willing to have intelligent conversation, but if you approach him like a rabid dog, you'll get a different Milo in return. They confuse his onstage speaking tour persona as his real personality.

100%
Despite what the left says about Milo, he's actually VERY respectful when someone engages him in a respectful manner. This is reinforced if you watch many of his lectures.
