Yeah, watch this one. He's a pussy, and a pathetically uninformed one at that. Makes a complete fool of himself...

BAHAHAHA! Little weasel.

And abortion is cool with me up to 3 months. Then again it's none of my damn business what a woman does with her own body or life. Just don't cover yourself with tattoos. That's a turnoff.

This was a hit piece. If you watch the whole unedited interview, you would see how Ben patiently answers his questions until Ben concluded that he didn't even read the book. I would have walked off the interview as well. But you still didn't answer my question hedge. What would YOU have done to Mr Tur if he placed his hands on your body the way he did with Ben Shapiro on Dr Drew's show? How would you have handled that? Don't YOU be a pussy and refuse to answer my question.

As far as Ben being a pussy, if you wont listen to me then maybe you will listen to Bill Maher?

Ben, glad to finally meet you. No no, I appreciate it. I always say this to conservatives who come on my show. I am a little jealous of their guts. They have more guts than liberals. Liberals don't come on conservative shows. They don't come on THIS show sometimes.

NOT a pussy hedge. Pussy's don't have any guts. All Ben has is guts.

I want you to take back what you've said. Be man enough to take it back.

Shapiro clearly didn't even know who Andrew Neil was, i.e., a staunch (and real) conservative for decades before Shapiro was born. Shapiro issued an embarrassed apology once he was made aware of what a fool he made of himself...

Ben Shapiro apologises to Andrew Neil after being 'destroyed' in BBC interview

US pundit says he was not prepared for segment, which went viral after he cut it short

The US conservative pundit Ben Shapiro has said he was “destroyed” by Andrew Neil in a TV debate in which he accused the veteran broadcaster of being a “lefty” before abruptly ending the interview.

Neil, chair of the group that owns the rightwing magazine the Spectator, subjected Shapiro to a robust interrogation about previous remarks such as “Israelis like to build, Arabs like to bomb crap”, and highlighted his support for new hardline abortion laws in the state of Georgia.

At this point in the BBC Politics Live broadcast, Shapiro, formerly of Breitbart, accused Neil of bias and suggested abortions after more than six weeks of pregnancy were brutal.

“You purport to be an objective journalist,” Shapiro said. “The BBC purports to be an objective, down-the-middle network. It obviously is not, it never has been, and you as a journalist are proceeding to call one side of the political aisle ignorant, barbaric and sending us back to the dark ages.”

The segment went viral on social media, prompting Shapiro to say he had not been prepared and to concede defeat to Neil, who often takes oppositional positions with his guests.

He tweeted: “@afneil DESTROYS Ben Shapiro! So that’s what that feels like Broke my own rule, and wasn’t properly prepared. I’ve addressed every single issue he raised before; see below. Still, it’s Neil 1, Shapiro 0.”

He earlier apologised on social media to Neil, saying he had “misinterpreted his antagonism as political leftism”.

Plus Shapiro sounds like a chipmunk on crystal meth when he talks. And makes about as much sense. No wonder IB has his lips firmly suctioned onto Shapiro's anus. How does Shapiro's ass taste, IB?

Look at Shapiro claiming to be a fan of being civil on Bill Mahr's show, and then contrast it with his crybaby pussy ass behavior on Andrew Neil's show. Yep, the very definition of a liar, hypocrite and a pussy. And also your god...

[eCat]

finding flaws in opposing talking heads is so 2005

what I'm enjoying is the media now turning their attention to Biden's inadequacies and all the "look what Biden has accomplished" posts that ring hollow by his supporters. Like where are all those people praising him for paying off student debt?

If Trump would go away, the knives in Biden's back would come much faster, but he can't help himself , he craves the attention.

I can however point to some good things Biden has done - the right to repair focus is a good thing but I bet you dollars to donuts that it will exclude apple, and I applaud his return to net neutrality, but both of those are low hanging fruit. No one can really point to any moment they were affected by the repeal of net neutrality and it would appear the right to repair is focused mostly on John Deere tractors affecting .001% of Americans

You STILL have not answered my questions. I answer your question and you do not answer mine. What would you have done if Mr Tur put his hands on you and touched you the way he touched Ben Shaprio? How would you have handled that?

I don't think you will answer the question.

TAKE IT BACK HEDGE!!

I would've clotheslined him...

I would've clotheslined him...

Okay GOOD! That is being a man. I would have grabbed his arm and taken it off my back and shoulder and told him not to touch me. That is also being a man. Ben looked him dead in the eye and called him a man and said he was behaving terribly. That is also being a man. He handled it. He wasn't being a pussy. He is not a pussy.

There are a number of things Ben could have done but he didn't go running away screaming he's going to hurt me now did he? He didn't cower looking for protection, looking for a safe space. No he didn't. But if he had done that, then yes, he's a pussy.

He's not a pussy. And your hit piece interview, that was supposed to be a discussion on the book Ben wrote. It was anything but that. So I would have left as well. That is standard operating procedure for filth like The Guardian.

You seem to have a lot invested in Shapiro not being a pussy. Hmmmm...

We never discuss anything you talk about in here, so why haven't you left yet?

You didn't interview me for any book I wrote. I stay on topic.

Those John Deere tractors -- or any such farm equipment -- affect 100% of Americans thanks to food production.

[eCat]

you really think corporate farmers are up in arms about John Deere tractors?

"Corporate farmers" is often a misnomer.

Take poultry and pork for instance. The vast majority of the "corporate" poultry and pork are grown on contract my family farmers who pay for the facilities, keep everything up and incur a shitload of costs to be paid to grow the animal at various stages. In NC, those "corporate" farms are the only thing keeping a lot of small farmers going thanks to the reduction and then elimination of tobacco subsidies and quotas and other rising costs.

Plus, those "corporate farmers" -- at least in NC which is still one of the top ten states in terms of agricultural production and revenue iirc -- are almost always closely held family businesses, and I would suspect that the same can be said for much of the nation.

The time that a piece of equipment is down or not operating at full capacity is lost money, and waiting on a manufacturer's tech to come out to repair is lost time and money. Amongst the large farmers I know / have known, all of them have large shops for maintaining their equipment. I am quite certain that they would be happy to have the ability to repair their equipment without the need for a tech from the dealership to show up with proprietary equipment or wait even longer for the loaner to arrive so that the tech can take your equipment back to the shop to undergo repairs.

Great, eCat just brought the HeeHaw out of these Eastern North Carolinians.
