My requests of you were very simple.

1) in one or two words, tell us who "your people" are.

2) Surely you have the sources to back up your accusations. Or do you?


It's not Ben who is the coward, it's YOU. And it's not Ben who is the "sick POS", it's....

He went more in depth once saying how the world would have been better if both sides were destroyed, etc.

Even in dumb circumstances like pop culture debates I’ve seen him mention it as a joke. It’s not a joke to me.

As for emotions, I personally get angry at BS for making fun of the war that 100s of thousands of my people died and claiming he wished it have gone worse for us. The man is a pathetic POS.

Secondly Ben is a horrible human being, read about his worldview, he sees every issue as an excuse to fight for the establishment. Police violence, the war on drugs, the war on terror, imperialism, corporatism, he passionately defends them all.

Yeah, Ben is Godzilla, just like the latter, he loves butchering innocence. Have you seen his rhetoric on the war in Iraq, or his comments on Reagan’s illegal wars, or how he doesn’t see Palestinians as worthy of life: https://www.creators.com/read/ben-sh...rab-population

2. Shapiro is an emotional man, he believes everyone must support the state, that takes an incredible amount of faith and an emotional connection to the subject matter to sustain.

Police brutality, it’s the black peoples fault, war on drugs? The answer is to support more jails and prisoners (costs tax payer money), drone strikes, illegal arms sales, etc. of course; our enemies are worse, we must stick up to them.

Any regulations, policies meant to help workers; awful he says, instead we need more defense spending (so contractors get more $).

Net neutrality, sides with the government and state backed telecom companies without knowing anything about the issue, as he proved in his video on it.

He’s a propagandist who believes the state can do no wrong, there is nothing new about him.

I don't see how you can defend a man like him.

Shapiro would shred that woman.

I'm thinking that she's the darling of dems just like the way Palin was initially for the repugs, until she started to speak too much. All of that 'breath of fresh air' crapola wears off real fast when you realize that there ain't much going on in the background.

That applies to both of those highly misinformed people.

Since she’ll only stay in the safe space of liberal media where they give her softball questions and she still screws up .

I don't get it. It sounds like a silly stunt. He's a commentator, right? Why would any politician want to debate a commentator? Candidates debate other candidates. That's the way it works. Haven't you noticed?

Are you a republican?

Or are you one of those moderates who think people who criticize state terrorism and and state corporatism are extremists?

How does she acquire the funding for these programs, like the multi trillion dollar medicare for everyone idea?
Her answer is to raise taxes.
Well, if taxes are raised, I guess these "free" programs aren't free at all.
This broad makes dumber and dumber look like college professors.

You can't seriously be that dense.

It's not my job to make sure you are able to understand simple conversation, but, okay;
Calguy used quotes to emphasize the ironic use of the word, "free".

I did not offer any insults, I'm legitimately amazed at your lack of comprehension.

That is no doubt, the issue.

Ben Shapiro is an extremely well-read, Harvard educated lawyer, and very skilled at civil debate. But this sounds like a desperate attention grab.

But hiding behind friendly media outlets to make outlandish statements without being challenged, demonizing opponents with slander, and refusing invitations to a civil debate, shouldn't be rewarded with being elected to tax-funded public office.
That's what the title for TV show "Face the Nation" was implying, for example. Politicians exhibiting terrible social skills and preaching to the choir exacerbates the division in the country.

I'm not a big fan of Obama's presidency, but in his 2008 campaign, he had debates with "the other side" on Fox News and campaigned in red states, reasoning with "Joe the plumber" and other skeptics. The Democrats need more of Obama's behavior, and less of Hillary's "deplorable" behavior.

I keep pointing that out. But when have facts ever stopped a GOPer?

Anyone think Alexandria would win in a debate with Ben ?

Why? It’s never going to happen and it should never happen, or not until Mr. Shapiro actually faces Ms. Octavio-Cortez in an election.

Exactly. If he's that hot to debate political candidates - perhaps he should run for office.

There is no lack of comprehension. There is a lack of a valid argument against the idea of people being able to access affordable health care when they get sick.
