\"RepublicansOnParade2\"<\/font><\/p>\n

Here is the twenty-second article in our Republicans on Parade series, featuring individuals who personify what the Republican Party has become. Today\u2019s honoree is Ben Shapiro, author and propagandist for Breitfart. He is so honored for the most outrageous example of projection you could imagine.<\/font> <\/p>\n

\n

If don’t know who does the scheduling for C-SPAN’s Book TV, but apparently they wanted to help Breitbrat Ben Shapiro sell some more books, since they had him on for a three hour long interview<\/a> as part of their In Depth series this weekend.<\/p>\n

\"4Shapiro\"Shapiro discussed everything from how he was big Rush Limbaugh fan in college and how Rushbo’s wingnut brother encourage him to write his first book, to his making friends with Andrew Breitbart around that same time, to pretending that Limbaugh and O’Reilly aren’t bullies, to how he’s been friends with Ann Coulter since he was 18, to comparing the Obama administration to the Mafia. He also apparently doesn’t think All in the Family was funny and claimed "leftism" was imported from Germany. But it’s the mean old left’s fault we all can’t get along and don’t dare try to tell him otherwise.<\/p>\n

In the segment above, we are supposed to believe that ABC’s George Stephanopoulos is a liberal, or that anyone on the left considers Stepho and his merry band of overpaid Villagers "journalists." Shapiro then proceeded to treat the viewers to one giant case of projection in an attempt to explain why the poor, downtrodden, picked on, victimized right wingers like himself are forced to personally attack those on the left and how no one is ever allowed to call them racists because there’s no evidence of that whatsoever in Shapiro World<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

No one on the left is allowed to complain about voter ID laws that make it harder for minorities to vote, or laws that keep gay people from getting married, because that makes you the mean nasty bigot<\/strong>. Got it? As Karoli has pointed out here before, this is nothing new for the likes of Shapiro\u2026<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
