You can't seriously be that dense.
Please, explain to me why. You simply replied with lame insults. Many think this is a valid type of response but it is not but it makes it easy to understand why so many like Shapiro.

You simply showed that you didn't understand his point. Perhaps watching a little more may have helped you.

And yet, you don't explain why. He is not trying to make a point. He is simply trying to stereotypically demonize others and there are a good number of people that eat that up.

I explained with numbers why he is wrong.

As I admit to, that was the only thing I've heard him say but based upon that and what others are saying he is one of those people who get off on demonizing people he sees as less than himself.

Based on something someone said? lol all because someone said. Ask yourself why healthcare costs so much. Then go from there.

Then why hasn't one person done so yet? Answer that. Why hasn't one person outdone him. Cenk got destroyed when he tried. All the Q and A people who disagree with him got shown the door too. But facts are meaningless to those that prey on emotions.

I've done this myself but I am unable to determine what you are saying here.

I can't watch Cenk so it would not surprise me if even Sarah Palin could outdo him. Even at that, these type of debates are pretty much worthless. Watch any political debate and you have 40% saying one side kicked butt while another 40% say that the other side did.

There is money to be made off that 40% on both sides.

P.S. No one has addressed my rebuttal to Shapiro's recliner/x-ray argument yet so...............

Those who rely on name calling really have no standing in calling others out for anything.

Those who rely on a short vid and because someone said really have no standing in calling others out for anything.
The facts don't care about your emotions,.
Socialism is a known failure.

That wasn't the case here. Make something else up.

lol I just did a few posts earlier.

Again why is the cost of healthcare so high? Couldnt be because of government involvement?

I admitted that it was all I know of him but I addressed what he said. Until someone shows where I am wrong, I have no reason to go any further.
