This is the question and answer part of one of his his talks. He makes money by giving talks at universities.

He seems like an alright guy. On his youtube channel, he seems so angry.

Anyone else notice this?
 
Ben Shapiro is a moron's idea of a smart man.

He is an actor. Much like tucker Carlson. They don't believe 90% of the things they say. They just know they get power and money to keep saying them.

LOL! Well you look him up at one of his appearances and go ask him some question you would like to debate and prepare to be made to look stupid. Very smart guy and up to date on his facts.

RRRRRrrrrrriiiiiiggghhhtt...



Shapiro was so humiliated he got up and walked out of the interview. Ben even admitted he got punked. And in his apology, he accidentally admitted that he's just an act. A tactic.

aka... an intellectually dishonest **** playing a role.

I honestly cringe at the sound of his voice. I felt that about Milo though. He was fairly thought provoking at first but then he became a parody of himself, then he went absolutely bizarre and committed career suicide.

He can sometimes make a good point.

But for me, I see right through his schtick.

He knows what a smart person is supposed to sound like, so he puts together a ton of smart sounding stuff on the surface, says it really fast and knows his audience isn’t smart enough to actually think about it.

You just described every politician and most citizens in this country regardless of race, age, sex, class or political party.

He's too smart to be dumb. Same with Friar Tucker.
 
Shapiro and the Turning Points guy just memorize talking points and deliver them without ever addressing their debaters actual points. They refute jack **** usually and just say the same old tired conservative drivel that's been thoroughly discredited and debunked.
 
Munchkin voice.

Ben Shapiro is fundamentally dishonest. He has a reputation for being a great debater because he only debates college students or others who can't hold their own. He consistently refuses to debate serious critics.

His position on immigration (supporting levels that he acknowledges would be suicidal for his own homeland) also shows him to be hypocritical.

It was the best meltdown I've ever seen. 100% whiny baby.

I must ask: what conservative public intellectual(s) would you admit to being a genuinely intelligent person(s) despite not agreeing with them?

And speaking as an apparent moron, I find him to be a smart man. At the very least, one does not generally get into UCLA and Harvard by being of low intelligence unless one has multi-millionaire parents.

Tucker is smart on some issues but he sometimes lets his silver spoon and bigotry get the best of him.

Another religious/creationist tactic designed to baffle with bull****. Banana Man does this all the time.

Seems I heard that same argument in defense of Obama but Trump (among others) still wanted to see those grades.

Apparently attendance wasn't proof of accomplishment.

I have never accused Barack Obama of not being intelligent. Having the wrong worldview says nothing about one's intellectual ability.

You're pretty intelligent, though I disagree with many of your posts. :)

Tucker's consistent on his anti-war stance, and that I applaud him for.

And I wasn't accusing you my friend, just pointing out a related argument.

I agree with the second statement.

By the age of 20 he graduated summa cum laude from UCLA and then cum laude from Harvard Law.

A nationally syndicated columnist by 17, graduated from UCLA and authored 2 books before turning 21. I wonder how many that are questioning his intelligence has accomplished a quarter of what he has.
