One should be hesitant to read Shapiro for any reason. Whereas the ramblings of other extremists in the clogosphere can be mildly informative, Shapiro’s sheer smugness and exclusive reliance on straw man arguments pretty much sucks out any potential “fun” that could be had with his articles.

The Christian Science Monitor summarized his book Brainwashed: How Universities Indoctrinate America’s Youth thusly, “Shapiro makes sweeping—and many would say absurd—charges that they promote atheism, sexual perversion (including pedophilia and statutory rape), and rampant environmentalism.”[10] It’s here we discover Shapiro has this odd habit of engaging in ad hominem attacks against anyone who is perceived to be even modrately left-wing. For instance, he labels a professor’s wife “brainless” when she talked about how much she treasures the Constitution (B.S. thinks we should stick it in a paper shredder[11]), and in the same book he accuses liberal professors of spreading “evil”. Said professor later accused Shapiro of grossly distorting aspects of this fairly meaningless event.[12]

He is a believer in some sort of homosexual recruitment taking place at colleges. In full irony mode he gets upset whenever someone accuses the right-wing of homophobia.

[edit] The troof is out there

Shapiro is most infamous for being a conspiracy nut, finding leftist propaganda virtually everywhere. Shapiro got in hot water when he pushed the “Friends of Hamas” manufactroversy, but that’s really only the tip of the iceberg that is his madness.[13] He is also the founder of TruthRevolt, a conservative media watchdog group who openly state that their mission is to “unmask leftists in the media for who they are, destroy their credibility with the American public, and devastate their funding bases.”

Shapiro has also written about birtherism and while trying to avoid being an out and out birther, his writings are extremely sympathetic to it.[14] He believes that it is perfectly logical for someone to believe someone as “un-American” as Obama was born overseas, but he concludes that it’s more likely that Obama was indoctrinated with Marxism while in an American school.

Along with his amazing superpower to interpret anything being fed into his frontal cortex as “propaganda”, he also possesses the ability to trace it back to the source: the Jews, of course![15]

“”If you pay tuition, you’re sponsoring the militant homosexual agenda. If you pay taxes, you’re sponsoring the militant homosexual agenda. If your child majors in English, you’re sponsoring the militant homosexual agenda. Tell Billy to major in math.

—Ben Shapiro[16]

In 2013, he published a book Bullies: How the Left’s Culture of Fear and Intimidation Is Silencing America, basically a tone argument stretched over 300 pages. For instance, Shapiro interpreted a federal judge’s 2010 ruling against California Proposition 8 as “using the power of his gavel to justify his sex life.”[17]

During a 2015 discussion about Caitlyn Jenner on the HLN network, Shapiro repeatedly addressed corespondent Zoey Tur, a transgendered woman, “Sir”, to which Tur placed her hand on Shapiro’s shoulder and replied “You cut that out now, or you’ll go home in an ambulance.” While perhaps not the most professional response to Breitbart”s odious trolling, it is an understandable reflex action when sitting within 10 feet of Ben Shapiro.[18] Benny has since filed a police report against Tur and stated that he plans to pursue any applicable charges.[19]
