The funniest **** about the media and other opponets is they expect AOC to have a bulletproof understanding of every issue off cuff in every interview and allow her no wiggle room for error or to misspeak. The mainstream corporatist media is ready to tear her down at a moments notice. Everyone wants to take her down. She has more pressure to know issues front and back than any Senator or Governor and she is just a member of the house.

This. Can you imagine Steve King or Louis Gomert being held to that standard? And they've been congressmen for ages!

Hard to believe he would want to do that with how much money he makes doing what he does.

This is true. He basically jerks it to capitalism and I know a lot of what he does and says is because it generates views and money.

Who knows what he'll do. I've always thought he'd eventually run for office though.

The guy even says - " here I am, a person who considers himself intellectually serious, and I have written off the other side without even engaging with its strongest arguments." So basically, you want a guy who's written off the other side to become the voice of reason and truth on the other side? Gtfoh. Lol

LOL, he simply said he hadn't previously taken the time to engage with Shapiro's ideas before and so he decided to take the time to do so, resulting in that piece. What's objectionable about that?

Archie Moses said:
It started off hinting Shapiro isn't an intellectual because of his emotional comments directed at the clowns who protested him at Berkeley (because they're fascists crybabies.) Yeah, how bout no. Shapiro's treatment by the violent and sheepish antifa was baffling.

Considering Shapiro's motto is Facts don't care about your feelings, and his reputation for dealing with facts and ideas rather than insults, it's a valid critique.
Archie Moses said:
The line, "Shapiro scoffs at all claims that racism is a serious problem facing black people." Um, no he doesn't... Yeah, let's write a false absurdity and absolute about someone so people think he's a racist.

The article includes plenty of evidence for the claim. You might not agree, but it's far from an 'absurdity'

The guy even hints that Shapiro is pleased at himself for being a racist. Shapiro makes arguments why he feels the way he does and provides reasons as to why he feels that way.

Reading comprehension fail. He actually wrote 'I’m sure Shapiro would be very pleased with himself to hear me call him a racist' that's a very different thing.

I'm sure there are some things in that article that are valid. Every politician is gonna have some **** on them, but the guy who wrote that is a far left guy trying to prove he's the intellectual. Sigh.

You're a pretty far left, progressive guy, Zombie so I don't blame you for thinking Shapiro is a dumb ****. It's hard for me to take you serious though when apologize for racist, embarrassing tweets and call them jokes though.

Maybe try not being manipulative next time you want someone to do something? Did I really owe reading that to myself? Mmmkay.

LOL providing an article is manipulative now? Ok.

Ok, the guy who wrote the article flat out calls Ben Shapiro a racist because he engages in race debates. Shapiro has thousands of videos of him on YouTube, I challenge you to find one of him where he's flat out being a racist. If he's such a racist, this should be easy, eh?

I should note, he did apologize for the satirical Columbus video (you can find it easily online if you want to see it) his interns posted while he was on vacation and gave a thorough apology about why it shouldn't have been posted and kept up. This has been discussed on here. Dude isn't perfect by any stretch, I just don't think he's a racist.

Ben Shapiro will be an elected politician soon enough.

Is he running for anything?

I mean I don't doubt it. The star of "The Apprentice" is our President.

Ben Shapiro most likely has more respect for our government institutions, will act in a more professional way, will make decisions based on a coherent vision and understanding of issues and will express himself clearly and intelligently. So, he's like 1 million times more qualified than Trump to be a politician. I wouldn't trust Trump to be the President of my HOA.

There are paragraphs of examples of racist comments made by Shapiro in that article.

This is a reading comprehension fail - on your end though. I said he hints that Shapiro is pleased with himself for being a racist. Read the paragraph again and tell me he doesn't hint that. Lol
