MDC 5,805 Posted May 11, 2019 Doesn’t like being questioned on the apparent hypocrisy of his calls for civil discourse, takes his ball and goes home: He later apologized after realizing the interviewer he kept accusing of liberal bias is in fact a far right winger.

EternalShinyAndChrome 2,430 Posted May 11, 2019 This is funny. He's been winning every debate for the last 5 years and loses 1 and suddenly the liberal think they "GOT 'EEM!". Shapiro himself came out and apologized for his poor performance and says he got destroyed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Usually when you LOSE an interview or debate, you're proved wrong about something which in this case didn't happen. He simply got clearly tired of this twat early on and couldn't take it anymore.

RLLD 3,371 Posted May 12, 2019 Shapiro is a total class act, an actual adult, unlike many liberals and pretty much ALL leftists he actually admitted that he was outmatched by this guy. He has praised this guy for preparing well and executing well, and acknowledged that he did not prepare well. It is more than refreshing to see this happen since its mostly absent from society at large, and cannot be found in liberal circles 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JustinCharge 2,397 Posted May 12, 2019 People who participate in public debates surprisingly have very little impact on the course of human events. They might like to think they do, but they don't. We have an endless supply to talkers trying to score points in a debate. None of them move the needle. The people who actually matter are those who are exceptionally skilled at taking ACTION, at converting a cause into a force of nature. The action-takers often have low-quality debate skills, and are looked down upon by those who have refined tastes in debating, but in the end they just win. You might try to argue with me on this and say this debater made a difference here or there, but lemme tell you, when a true charismatic speaker shows up on the scene and demands action, and people swoon to him no matter what he says, when people start organizing and marching for him, you'll understand what I mean.

JustinCharge 2,397 Posted May 12, 2019 Its very hard to avoid dictatorships or living under a king because society produces a super charismatic tyrant like Hitler or Long once every 300 years or so and they are strong enough to usurp everything. America is such a miracle. Long should have overpowered everyone else in government with his charisma and become supreme ruler for life but we just got lucky that he was murdered.

He'd have his work cut out for him as he'd made lots of enemies along the way, got himself killed that way, may have been an ongoing problem.. Meanwhile, there was mighty talent in his way as his lifespan overlapped with highly talented rivsls. Adlai Stevenson likely would have made for an excellent president, sadly it was his fate to run against an even more excellent Dwight Eisenhower twice. Were Huey Long to live, he'd have to wait out Roosevelt then knock out Stevenson in the primary and then Eisenhower in the general election. Or keep waiting and then beat JFK/Nixon in 1960.

naomi 343 Posted May 12, 2019 I generally appreciate Ben Shapiro. One of my conservative colleagues who's paid much better attention than me believes Shapiro is neo-conservative and has historically been hawkish when it's mattered. But I find this situation interesting because maybe there is a big cultural difference when it comes to American and British style political commentary media. I think we do tend to announce when we go "devil's advocate.". ..."Let me play devil's advocate here.." and they may have the convention that when someone is regarded to have a controversial take, whether it really ought to be or not, you go in devil's advocate as a matter of course.

He, and conservatives overall, never do this to people with whom they disagree, this is a purely leftist/liberal tactic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
