I had never heard of Milo Yiannopoulos, until his current visit to Australia. He has got a lot of media coverage.

He has been subject to a lot of violent protests and the Greens want him banned from entering Federal Parliament.

I now have seen some of his speeches on youtube, and really I see him as nothing more than a comedian, an attention seeker and I think some of his comments are funny and nothing short of a joke.

Why are some people though taking him so seriously and raising concerns about limiting freedom of speech?

"Why are some people though taking him so seriously and raising concerns about limiting freedom of speech?"

Probably because they want to limit freedom of speech.

I take it you weren't among the queued public who were waiting to enjoy a show in Melbourne, only to be subjected to foul abuse and pelted with rocks and even a metal street sign?

Nathan, If you read some of the interviews with him, especially older ones, you'll find that he admits that it's an act. It's a character he created. What's hard to tell is whether he's in it for the notoriety and the money, or whether it's a genuine act of satirical theatre. If it started as the latter, it may now be difficult for him to admit it was all a setup to satirise right wing views, because a lot of people would be very angry.

i am yet to hear him speak. Anyone who can put a rocket up the nonsense sprouted by the left surely can bring back some kind of rationality to whats becoming australia

I think the point is that most people protesting against Milo have never heard him actually speak, I think that what they are most offended that a half Jewish gay guy married to a black man would dare to say what he does. That what he says is mostly true is what really infuriates them.

The left whinge are all about censorship.
