wants war with Hamas, which is already happening. His outrage is with calls for a ceasefire. How does that make him a scumbag? Should Hamas not be destroyed?

He wants war with Russia, Hamas, Syria, didn't want to leave afghan. He's been for every war since hes had a news show. He loves to send people to war. That makes him a scumbag

I guess they don't like his personality. He can come across as a know-it-all. I'm the last person that would go to antisemitism, racism, sexism...but I'm running out of things that make sense.

Agreed. I find him more tolerable when he’s on other people’s shows (Bill Maher, and on the BLM panel that one time), same with Matt Walsh (his thing on Dr. Phil was great). On the Daily Wire stuff with their own shows, they’re both obnoxious in their own ways. What is a Woman was friggin gold though.

This is why I was kinda bummed when Jordan Peterson joined the Daily Wire. I always liked him as the “common sense smartest guy in the room” guy who wasn’t usually political, more philosophy centered while exposing the left’s ideologies and motivations. Joining DW tainted his image a little bit to me.

Granted I don't listen to him every day, but I've never heard him say this. I've heard him say we should not be sending troops. I think you just made this up.

Hamas
Again, they need to be wiped out and him saying that doesn't make him a scumbag.

didn't want to leave afghan.
There's a massive difference between being pissed at how left and not wanting to ever leave. Still doesn't make him a scumbag, as he's correct in saying that was a horrible decision.

Ben's on my list of daily checks. If the subject is Israel I just skip it.

I know a way around this problem but I think I will let you figure it out. HINT: I know of him is about all.

I'll stick with my opinion that anyone that pushes war over peace is a scumbag.

I find him to be extremely likeable. Too many of you hear seem to want people to perfectly align with your views. It's like many of you have never considered than many issues have positions upon which reasonable minds can differ.

And I'll stick to my original post, he's only pushing for Israel (not the US) to continue it's war with Hamas. All the other "pushing for wars" you're attributing to him aren't true. If the cartel raped and slaughtered thousands of Texans, would I be a scumbag for saying we should kill every last cartel member and there will be no peace until that happens?

I used to listen to his podcast, for some reason it would just give me a headache. I don't know if it's the tone or the delivery or what...he has some very intelligent takes, but I just couldn't stand it.

And there are a few too many in the conservative space willing to tell their target audience exactly what they want to hear

I like Ben Shapiro just fine.

Candice Owens begged to be let go, and her inability to get along with anybody (and also to hold a consistent political position for more than a year or two) has become a pattern for her. As recently as 2016 she was mocking Donald Trump's penis size and hoping that Republicans died in their sleep. The first time she ever voted was in 2018.

But the world has turned populist, and y'all couldn't care less abut stuff like that.

Y'all don't like Shapiro because he's an actual conservative and not a populist himself.

He an Israel first American. He would tell you the same. Also many Jews in Israel dislike Christians more than Muslims, it’s just Christians are currently posturing for a piece of the magic dirt they all fight over.

And in this new populist world, style is what matters, not substance.

So you are a man of your times.

That's valid and understandable. There's just some people who REALLY hate the guy. Seems like more than just "he's irritating". Like the guy who called him a scumbag for (seemingly to me) no reason haha.
