re: D'Souza or Shapiro?

They are both very smart and handle the "gotcha" questions that they get, all the time.

I think Shapiro is very smart and lays out his case very well, but he can come across as arrogant. D'Souza spends too much time laying out why the liberal position is wrong, and I think he does this in order to not be arrogant.

I think D'Souza presentation probably converts more skeptics, while Shapiro has a better grasp on the facts, but probably irritates people with his attitude.

Either way, it's easy to see why the left doesn't want these guys speaking in public forums where people on the fence might hear them.
