Ben Shapiro is infuriating, because he is highly intelligent, seems to believe what he says in the few times I've listened to him, but he always has a missing step in his logic to come up with conclusions, or he just factually misrepresents a strawman Lefty argument that nobody believes. Or, in the case of the Christian baker, he completely misunderstood basic concepts of employment law while touting his expertise because he holds a Harvard Law degree.
There's not a big mystery here. It's because they're black (and proud to be black, more importantly).
I don't know, Shapiro doesn't strike me as racist, but he is super prude and offended by sexuality. He is a devout Orthodox Jew and has some super old-fashioned and Talmudic beliefs on dating and sexuality.

I'm pretty sure he also has a well-established record of racism, particularly as directed to Muslims. Wasn't he cited as an inspiration by a guy who murdered a bunch of Muslims at a mosque? (In Quebec I think?)
And his one problem is he didn’t go to Russia that night because he had extracurricular activities, and they froze to death.

He, like nearly every Republicunt conservative, default to bad faith arguments because he caters to an irrational base of assholes and needs to feed their ridiculous belief set.

But also like Brian says, racism.

There are definitely things I want to say, but not out loud or on social media. I'll wait until my DD214 is in hand for any of that.

He's not having a moment, he's gone pretty much full right-wing in the last three or so years. David Wild stopped appearing as a guest on his podcast because Carolla's followers were making death threats to him on twitter.

Oh, I knew that he'd gone off the Dennis Miller deep end. Just pretty amazed about how moronic that was.

Of course, I shouldn't be surprised when someone who does live shows with Dennis Prager says something incredibly stupid.

Nah, he's been headed that way for a long time. He relies on his personal experience of one man as to "how you can succeed", thinks that school is a waste of time for his kids, etc. Or at least that was before I quit listening to his podcast a few years ago, but he was still hanging with Prager and doing things of that ilk then.

Even at the time, watching any of "The Man Show" was predicated on believing they were both in on the jokes and on the right side. One was not.

Yea, something about his podcast completely made me stop listening a long while back. It got repetitive. The guests were stale. And I was tied of his advertising on top of that. I don't distinctly remember his politics, but when you write a book called "In 50 years we'll all be chicks" and rail mindlessly against culture changing, it gets grating.
