Nonsense. If antisemitism played a significant role, Ben Shapiro wouldn't be the darling of the right. For example. Soros would be the boogyman regardless, it comes down to the fact that he's pouring tons of money into political causes. Like the Koch brothers do on the other side. It's simple. No need to add additional theories.

Ben Shapiro’s facile arguments appeal mostly to younger, inexperienced politic fans and the right needs all of the youthful fervor they can muster. I am sure this has something to do with their embracing of Shapiro. He has followers.

  I'm no fan of the right, but saying that Shapiro's arguments are facile is being intentionally blind to reality. There are not many who are better at debate and making strong arguments. He's one of the best and probably the best on the right. At his events he asks the audience to disagree with him. He gets excited when a guest disagrees with him. He'll also call them out when they say something that can't be backed up. He's constantly sharpening his positions. If you can make better arguments, then you should start doing so. Seriously. Because not many can.

  Replace 'Ben Shapiro' with any political name and 'right' with the appropriate leaning and your comment carries as much weight applied to anyone.

  Aparently only straight white Christian men are allowed to be advocates for free markets — otherwise you’re called an Uncle Tom. This is incredibly offensive and is itself racist.
