I recognize con men when I hear them. Shapiro is not a conservative. He's a bomb throwing agent provocateur, hiding behind a facade of a wannabe intellectual. He's a less feminine Milo Yianoppolis. Thinking he is a conservative and then allowing him to represent conservatives is part of the problem with American politics. He is not representative of a large swath of the American people. His views are extreme and he enjoys being on the fringe. To make his views look reasonable he invites on people with even more extreme rhetoric and then tries to soften their views so they seem "mainstream." If you can't see through these hucksters that shows you're not paying attention to them and recognizing their framing practices or their underlying themes to their conversations. That's your problem.
