Conservatives attempt to prove that liberals are guilty of hypocrisy.

They preach to their followers that liberals are "tolerant" of everything and everybody. They laugh and tell jokes about it on talk radio.

But, then they point out that "liberals" are little "snowflakes" that will not let people like Milo practice his "free speech" at colleges and universities. They protest his appearances.

Just to prove their point, they invited Milo to their annual CPAC conference. That would prove once and for all which Party was for "free speech" and "tolerance". He was going to be their keynote speaker!

But then, they discover comments from Milo that they could not tolerate and they dropped him from their event. They were not so tolerant after all.

The fact of the matter is that liberals are very tolerant of different people and different lifestyles but they are not tolerant of intolerant assholes. That is something that conservatives have ignored for years. "Liberals" are tolerant of everything. No, they are not.

And now, their little game to prove they are more tolerant has backfired in their faces.

Hate radio's favorite is that Medicaid/food and housing assistance/welfare are racist because the tolerant position is boot straps and people dying.

where conservatives and liberals can agree. Sex with children is an abomination.

Conservative hypocrisy has no limits. This Milo scandal hurts gay men like me more than anyone. I don't recall this level of outrage when Trump was shown on video looking at 12 year old girls and saying in 10 years he would be dating them. This kind of scandal just reinforces people's belief that gay sex is dirty and immoral. I don't see anything good coming from this other than karma has been a bitch to Milo for all of his disgusting shit talk about other people.

That does not mean they have to be tolerant of people like Milo. Conservatives will remain intolerant as they have always been.

He *allegedly* went to the Caribbean with four of his conservative buddies and a bottle of Viagra to have sex with children. And yet he never goes away.
