I was wondering about this on the way home. I guess these right wing, conservative assholes think pedophelia is an ok thing. That's it's ok for older men to molest young boys. What other conclusion is there the way they are defending him and his comments?
A lot of them think that he was "taken out of context" or "misunderstood". Because, you know, this is the party of fairness and careful consideration.

Maybe this reflects the kind of people I follow but, as someone firmly on the conservative end of the political spectrum, I've barely seen anyone defending Milo, either now or earlier. Being anti-liberal, or aligning with "the right", doesn't necessarily make someone a conservative.

wait, people were defending him?

This is the same party that elected someone who admits to assaulting women
no one is defending him.* No one thinks he's a saint. No one thinks pedos are ok.

*there are probably a handful of twitter trolls that are.

Yeah, the only people outright defending Milo's pedo comments are the already too-far-gone stridently alt-right followers, who are beyond help.

Of course, there have always been plenty of moderates defending his equally heinous comments about other less universally agreed-upon topics than child rape.

Hopefully now that he's had his time in the sun, we can all move on from talking about this insubstantial cockstain that only seems to impress idiots. Until Paul Joseph Watson amps up his online presence, goes on a speaking tour and gets a book deal.

That is what we lefties can't figure out What is the line in the sand with many of these people? Grab em by the pussy wasn't. Molestation of little boys is just far enough apparently.

That's also where the argument I keep reading of "the Left just acts all high and mighty!" leaves me. Everyone who thinks this shit is terrible - Left, Right, male, female, attack helicopter - should act high and mighty towards someone who sits there thinking, "I'm just not sure" about someone that reprehensible.

There seems to be plenty of folks online who think he was falsely accused/taken out of context, and is the victim of a "liberal witch hunt". Someone actually said to me, "Where's that liberal understanding?", as if this is something that liberals generally accept. And you know these same people would be calling him a perverted fag if he was a liberal or a Hilary Clinton aide.

I'm just sayin'...these people are so screwed up morally, they don't know up from down.

Like theplatylus said, some of these alt-right folks are beyond reconciling reality with their worldview. I tend to think people like Milo have their place in the debate over speech, but rationalizing sexual violence against children crosses a line for me.

That happened over a decade ago. You made me do a double take wondering if somebody had done a copy cat tank rampage.
