S.E. Cupp, Ben Shapiro Rake Berkeley Over the Coals for PC Culture (Owww!)

Conservative journalist Ben Shapiro was set to speak at the radically liberal University of Berkeley on Thursday where police would be present to deal with any violence from rioters. And since Berkeley was rapidly becoming anathema to free speech, Shapiro appeared on S.E. Cupp Unfiltered on Monday where he and the host raked Berkeley over the coals for being so ridiculous.

“University of California Berkeley once prided itself as being the birth place of the free speech movement. But over the last several years it's increasingly abandoning that legacy in favor of trigger warnings and safe spaces,” quipped Cupp as she introduced the segment.

In reading from a statement released by the university provost, Cupp demonstrated just how out of touch the liberal university was:

In a memo posted to the university's website, Berkeley Provost Paul Alivisatos wrote without any irony: ‘We are deeply concerned about the impacts some speakers may have on individual sense of safety and belonging. No one should be made to feel threatened or harassed simply because of who they are or what they believe.’ Except Ben Shapiro apparently.

“Counselling services are also being made available to students and faculty members who are upset by Shapiro’s speech.........

If Ben has any real beliefs, they are Marxist or something like that.

The other likely scenario is he doesn’t care either way and is merely doing what his globalist-progressive employers tell him to do.

He is on television for the purpose of manipulating your thought process.

“Shapiro and Cupp are examples of fake opposition to the liberal elite. They can criticize some of the PC Left’s worst excesses at times, but at day’s end they share the left’s fundamental assumptions on most issues that matter. It’s a matter of tactics more than core beliefs, in other words.”

Hear, hear!

Doesn’t Shapiro understand his rhetoric is so damaging to the tender little panty waists in Berkeley. They are already having to use Play Dough and coloring books to soothe their poor little disturbed minds

Who really cares what he has to say or what he thinks about this or that? Seriously, who?

1. I do. So do others here. So does the person who posted the article.
2. If you do not understand that the issue here is the Left attempting enforcing rules that only allow them to have rights, then you are beyond moronic.
3. If you do not care, then why bother to read and post that you do not care? You're only lying to yourself.
4. When did FR become a high school clique, deciding who is "hip" and who isn't? The important thing is ideas, and you want to make it about group identity and castigating individuals who haven't lived up to some magical and unattainable standards. Again, sub-moronic.

The game is manipulation.

Controlling beliefs and behavior.

The system of manipulation is a hierarchy.

Most participants are chasing the dollars which blind them.

Others are running from this boogie man or another.

(Like fear and sexual sin, money castrates men.)

At the top of the hierarchy are those who answer to God’s enemy.

All have nothing in the end.

I always remember watching Katy Tur’s crazy she it whatever daddy threaten to beat Ben Shapiros ass on live tv for continuing referring to him as a man

The irony was kosher tongue thick

Tranny “Zoey” Tur was acting and reverting more masculine than effete Benjie

It was too weird

Tur was insisting but I’m really a woman but I’m gonna go man on you and beat your ass

But I’m really a woman

Shapiro prolly never fought in his life ....it was hysterical

Tur weirdo notwithstanding has seen conflict

Only good thing about Shapiro is you might see Michelle Fields in a bikini if you hang with him long enough

I’d like to see he and uber brain Stephen Miller debate

Miller is deadpan and fast

Bruce Lee of synapse from thought to elucidation

Pay attention to this.

Shapiro is a stage actor.

Put there to distract you from the real fight.

Those probably ought to be called bigbobs!

Although at this point I think she still refers to them as "my resume".

I don’t look at those, I look at her lost soul and pray she is saved.

To be a man is not an easy thing.

Has nothing to do with bikinis.

I love S.E. Cupp because her name sounds a lot like ‘c-cup” which is just about right ;)

p.s. Didn’t mean that as a slam.

Just, um, pointing out that they are big; and surely they bob!
