Eh. While Shapiro didn't come off brilliantly, to say Neil "destroyed" him (like some comments claim) is pushing it a bit.

He kinda did. Shapiro thinks of himself as a smug tw*t with an answer for everything. He prides himself on the fact that he can debate many topics of the top of his head from memory. I havent seen him this agitated for quite a while:thumbs:

And the way he batted away Shapiro trying to label him a leftie made me laugh out loud. This wasnt the usual cable interview Shapiro is used to.

Shapiro is a moron and he's the worst kind of moron because he thinks he's the most clever person in the room when it truth he's an idiot that looks to play the victim the first chance he gets. Watching him stumble over the whole 'Fascist' thing was a delight as was the way that Andrew Neil effortlessly derailed his attempts to accuse the show of bias. The whole Palestinian thing was just the icing on top of the cake too, he just got completely undone by his own words and he knew it which is why he ran for the hills.
He's also the worst kind of pro-lifer because he doesn't really believe in the sanctity of life or that 'life begins at conception' it's all about taking control of women's bodies away from them and his support of the ridiculous Georgia abortion laws shows that.
Andrew Neil is a national treasure.

He didn't do his research at all, he tried all his usual tactics and they just fell apart so he ran.

Depends how you define "destroy" I guess. He certainly pissed Shapiro off, but he didn't do this by raising points he couldn't counter in a debate. It was mostly "here's something you said several years ago".
That said, it was fun to watch Shapiro get flustered, and say "Trump's presidential speek in 2012"

I actually laughed out loud at 13:00 in. The awkward few seconds of silence after the quote is read out :joker:.

To be fair, I think what he's specifically pointing out is that Shapiro has now taken it upon himself to critique the "anger that Americans have for each other", and that there is a (large) list of examples of Shapiro himself being a part of stoking up that anger in the first place - and not even a small part, he's been very widely heard.

Have you seen Shapiro destroy Piers Moragn on gun control when Morgan had his show in America? It was carnage and I think one the reasons why Piers never made it America on the cable news network. And Shapiro did it with a very smug smirk on his face. That smirk was missing in this Andrew Neil interview

Those comments are probably taking the piss out of the Youtube videos that are like "Ben Shapiro DESTROYS leftie liberal ice cream man AND DEVOURS HIS SOUL"
I'm truly amazed at the fact people are disscussing if Shapiro was "destroyed " or not and don't disscuss the mans hate preaching.
When a woman is 6 weeks pregnant ie embyro .he claims that this a 6 week old child.
It really worries me for women in the US atm when you have this fool and then you have POTUS at his rallies telling them that when the mother has a baby ..the baby is wraped in a blanket...then the doc and mother decide to kill the baby or not...Shamefull lies.POTUS knows this not to be true and knows his fans love guns...These women welfare clinics already have bulletproff glass..I think we are going to get an uprise in docs working with women from rape being attacked.Anway MAGA...right back to 1940's

Even if you disagree with him, it's pushing it to say that his belief that life starts at conception is "hate preaching"

Women and 11 yr old girls being forced to continue an unwanted pregnancy because of his beleifs is hate preaching
i know we will disagree Oliver ..but his talk about Muslims....and palastenians is nothing short of shocking.I am a Boer growing up during Apartheid.When a man claims he is a man of God but that man's life is worth less than mine it is not pushing it to say it is hate preaching.

He hasn't spoke out against Palestine, he criticises the terrorists who run it. His talks about muslims are all backed up by polls and data etc., and he's never actually tarnished them all with the same brush.

If you had watched the video you'd know that's false Oliver because Neil reads out Shapiro quotes where he quite explicitly DOES talk about all Palestinians. He says now that he only "meant" the leadership: but that's certainly not what he said at the time.

Jeez Oliver do you mind if i ask you ..did you watch the whole interview...did you read Shapiros book that Andrew Neill was quoting from?
He clearly has spoken about Palestinans...Listen to Andrew Neil iquoteing him from his own book....If you havent bothered to read Shapiros hate spach that Andrew Neil was quoing then there is no disscussion to be had here
Should also add Oliver.. Shapiro backtracked on insulting Arabs to saying he meant Palestestinans.But Hey he never spoke about them

Hate speech is free speech
The abortion debate is a debate. I happen to think that the "100% no questions asked pro life" approach is pretty abhorrent and totally wrong-headed (in that I don't think some people actually understand the potential harm, at all), but I can concede that it is nonetheless a debate.
Some of the things he's had to say about "Arabs" and Palestine is straight up hate speech. There's no two ways about it. The quote read out at 13m into the video:
"Israeli's like to build - Arabs like to bomb crap and live in open sewage."
"The Palestinian Arab population is rotten to the core"
He said the first quote, then later tried to take it back and say he "only meant Palestinians" (still hate speech) and NOW he's trying to say that he only meant "Hamas leadership"... but if you believe that you'll believe anything. He was quite clear in his choice of words and it's obvious what he meant. HE knows that it's hate speech too which is why he's tried so hard to "take it back" after being called out.

His argument is that one crime does not excuse another, and the baby shouldn't be murdered due to the circumstances of its conception.

I don't have to like it, (that's the point of hate speech being free) but at the same time, I'm not asking for Lime to be censored, or the Police to pay a visit, because of Lime's opinions. I'd be against that.

Hate speech is free speech
Science disagrees with claims of murder.
Outside of the womb, a 6 week old foetus cannot sustain life and it's not a sentient being, it's a bundle of cells and nothing more. If something is not sentient or capable of sustaining life (as in, it won't die instantly) then it's not alive. Life begins at birth, pro-lifers are hypocrites that care more about controlling women's bodies than the children that would be brought into the world as a result of archaic laws like the Georgia law.

Tommy Robinson spreads hatred against all muslims, nobody here is spreading hatred against Jews. Once again you're ignoring the context to make silly claims that don't really achieve anything.
Shapiro is a twat that uses his religion as a shield and excuse. That's not hatred towards jews, that's just disliking one person who uses Judaism to validate his hateful opinions. If you think that's the same as Robinson spreading hatred then I'm not sure if anything can be said to help you understand.

I personally would be happy with folk challenge his hate preaching.
i don't think he should be locked up.

But you calling him a names like "hate preacher" on a Big Brother forum serves no purpose but to try and make yourself feel morally better than people.
Your name calling, isn't an argument.
And just to let you know, because you're blinded by your own ignorance, I'm far more of a fan of Andrew Neil, than I am Ben Shapiro, but I'm not a partizan witch-hunter who wants the blood and freedom taking away of people with opinions.

(pokes nose in)
I just googled “Free speech” and this was one of the first things that came up
Freedom of Speech does NOT mean that a person can say whatever they want to say. Freedom of Speech means that someone's right to say something is protected within certain limits. A person may have to suffer consequences for saying some things, but they still have the right to say them. For example, it is against the law to yell, "FIRE," in a crowded place because someone may get injured. A person has the right to say it, but they also have the consequences.

Great! another wasted afternoon of conversation, just erased as easy as that. Thanks for that.
Do you wanna do some more censoring mods? seeing as you like it so much.

I find that totally hurtful and insulting, let's show everybody you're not bias.

Let's test out if it's ok for me to accuse forum members of doing something disgusting.
