He's not a beast he cherry picks facts then ignores others that are pointed out to him. He's a weasel not a beast.

He then avoids answering the question to twist it around. I really don't care that much about him. I understand why the right likes him so much when their other mouth pieces can't debate at all but he's not this wiley super genius he's made out to be.

i like his show

probably agree with him about 50ish percent of the time

i like that he makes no qualms about his partisanship and often states that he is not news, he is a pundit.

He's a fairly intelligent and rational, though inflammatory spotlight seeker.

A lot of people seem to want to paint him as some superconservative for some reason, but he seems like a fairly moderate classical liberal.

Just because he may or may not be wrong in certain of his viewpoints doesn't mean he isnt intelligent and relatively articulate. He's inflammatory because of his presentation. His views are run of the mill conservative.

The link in the original posts highlighted several ignorant, wrong and outright racists things he stated. If that is run of the mill conservative, then conservatives are legitimately racist and ignorant people.

You can't cherry pick racism. That just a you are or are not situation. It is in regards to arabs, and he been consistent in his views.

He then promptly says he did research to understand him more right after that.

Reminds me of the Jordan Petersen fans who are like "him saying he wouldn't be in a room alone with a woman makes sense in context actually, just watch these 8 videos totaling 20 hours and you'll get it otherwise you have no idea what you're talking about."

He strikes me as a conservative who, while not as crazy far-right as other prominent conservative writers and politicians, is out of touch with reality and thinks he's smarter than he really is. I was watching him on Bill Maher's show a few weeks ago, and I had an appropriate comeback for just about everything he said.
