OT : BEN SHAPIRO

Who is Ben Shapiro ?

Are you serious 25 ?

as a heart attack I have no clue !

Never heard of him so I googled him.

Benjamin Aaron Shapiro is an American conservative political commentator, public speaker, author, and lawyer. At age 17, he became the youngest nationally syndicated columnist in the United States. He writes columns for Creators Syndicate and Newsweek, serves as editor-in-chief for The Daily Wire, which he founded, and hosts The Ben Shapiro Show, a daily political podcast and radio show. An editor-at-large of Breitbart News between 2012 and 2016, he has written ten books."

I don't pay attention to the political commentators that I have heard of let alone someone lime this.

Thanks whodey. I was about to do the same thing. I'm not familiar with him either.

He is pretty good, his podcasts can be interesting, i listen once in a while

He is very well spoken and persuasive. His positions are well reasoned, as are most conservative opinions.

My son really enjoys listening to him.

I think he does come across a bit smug and condescending, but I'm a fan of that.

Never heard of him either, until this thread.

He’s a good presenter who’s message I usually find to be too right wing for my taste. He does grab your attention and frequently elicits a laugh or a snicker.

He is brilliant, articulte and well-spoken. The attacks on him by progressives have been have been viciously anti-semitic.

He needs logic lessons because his statements are only true if you ignore the obvious logic gaps .

Please give an example.

Pretty sharp fucking dude.

I'm not sure he's either... Just another loud mouth who is deliberately provocative because it gets attention and garners fame and money.

They can be found on both sides of the political spectrum.

Frenulum

He's a smart guy. He does initially seem smug and condescending, but I think it's unintentional. Love or hate him, I would hate to debate him.

Andrew Neil owned him pretty hard and made him run away

He knows his stuff.

Andrew Neil destroys Shapiro in BBC interview? Hardly, Neil was exposed as a useless arrogant left wing hack who needs to be told what to think and say. The whole interview, not just the edited clip phat boy linked to, is on YouTube and shows how the interview really went down. Neil could only read his stupid and biased questions off his note cards and when he was challenged it was him who ran away.

He talks fast and has studied the structure of a debate. That is it. When he has to actually provide substance for his argument, instead of trying to shut opponents up by talking faster than them, he falls flat. Anyone can feel free to browse his Twitter account. He can be pretty nonsensical at times, is a total right wing puppet, and resorts to making speeches about things like "baby Hitler" when he has nothing of substantial value to bring to an argument and instead just touches upon some hot-button issues that the nuts on the right will get wet over.

Super smart. Quick witted. Smug. A bit of a provocateur. I agree with him more than disagree.

Extremely smart, well versed, great debater. Young, witty, and definitely arrogant. Love listening to him. Love watching his debates and lectures. As far as anyone “owning him”. .... I have watch many of the debates that he enters into .. not once have I seen him get “owned” by anyone.
