He slanders folks wholesale and unapologetically, yet expects an apology for what you considers slander. That is hypocrisy. Is it really that hard to grasp what folks are saying?
I watched one of this guy's speeches and it turned my stomach, It is not slander to call him a white supremacist, but that doesn't even come close to what he really is: a hate-filled un-American fucking ASSHOLE. He can speak where ever he wants, but the only audiences he will ever have are other slimeballs like him.
I don't support and I do condemn violent protests wherever they happen. I suspect that the protest at Berkeley was just as likely perpetrated by Yiannopolous for effect as from leftwing students.
I feel completely justified in speaking out against Yiannopolous and everything he stands for, after having heard him once. I would hope that the lack of crowds at most venues would be enough of a rebuke, but it seems that there are a lot more hate-filled Americans who feel empowered by this scum than I realized.
