Ben Shapiro has cracked one more almost unscalable wall. The DRUDGE REPORT has on its front page the brand new Associated Press, interview piece with Shaprio. (Linked here) It is particularly funny how the reporter says the book "Spikes" after Ben appears on different radio shows. It is partly true...after Ben appeared on The Kevin McCullough Show he jumped 25 spots on the Amazon.com list. Big Congrats to Ben for sticking his ground, hanging tough and writing such a funny and worthy read...

Ben Shapiro isn't the only conservative railing against liberalism on America's college campuses. But right now — thanks to a marketing campaign taking place mostly in cyberspace — he's the one getting the most attention. At 20, Shapiro graduates later this month from UCLA, where he has been best known for caustic columns in the campus paper. But Shapiro also took careful notes in class, chronicling what he viewed as a pervasive liberal bias by professors who fed mostly unwitting students a steady diet of anti-Americanism. Now, Shapiro has assembled those notes in "Brainwashed: How Universities Indoctrinate America's Youth" —...

Campus Conservative Hits Academia June 10, 2004 Ben Shapiro isn't the only conservative railing against liberalism on America's college campuses.

At 20, Author Launches an Assault on the Ivory TowerBy Justin Pope The Associated Press Published: Jun 10, 2004

Ben Shapiro is my friend and fellow nationally syndicated columnist with Creators Syndicate. Ben is only twenty years old and has not only established himself as a brilliant political commentator and columnist, but has now written a book, "Brainwashed" that I hope will become a bestseller. Ben has just completed his undergraduate degree and has witnessed firsthand the type of liberal bias that permeates academia today. I think you will find the book very illuminating, witty and insightful -- not to mention quite disturbing, because it will confirm your worst fears about the ongoing indoctrination of the future stewards of...

June 4, 2004 Friday Japan arrests 8th man linked to al-Qaeda TOKYO (AFP) - Japanese police arrested an eighth foreign national on Thursday in their nationwide crackdown on a suspected al-Qaeda network in Japan, officials and news reports said. A 37-year-old Bangladeshi identified as Shiddiqur Rahmann, 37, was arrested in Gunma, north of Tokyo, on suspicion of violating immigration laws, a local police spokesman said. "We arrested the Bangladeshi factory worker as we suspect the man overstayed although his visa expired," the spokesman said. The Bangladeshi man was the eighth foreign national arrested in connection with an investigation into Lionel...

Ben Shapiro attended the University of California at Los Angeles and came out dismayed by much of what he heard and saw. Professors there, he laments, routinely spouted liberal propaganda and rarely had their biases challenged. Conservative thinkers, on the contrary, Mr. Shapiro says, were generally shrugged off as not too bright. As a columnist for UCLA's student paper The Daily Bruin, he was able to voice his outrage until, he claims, he was fired for his views.Now - having already graduated from UCLA at 20 - Shapiro has written "Brainwashed: How Universities Indoctrinate America's Youth" (WND Books), alerting the...

Ben is on to discuss his new book "Brainwashed."

Ben Shapiro is 20 years old, has a screenname on FR (I'm sworn to secrecy!), has cool parents who invite fellow politically conservative Jews over for BBQ's, has had a syndicated column since he was 17, and just came out with a book detailing the ways in which universities indoctrinate you and your children with leftist, anti-America propaganda. If you've heard Ben on Al Rantel's show or other radio talk shows, you know he's a very bright guy and is interested in presenting facts and evidence to make his case, not tearful complaints about being a political minority on campus....

Frontpage Interview’s guest today is Ben Shapiro, the author of the new book Brainwashed: How Universities Indoctrinate America's Youth. FP: Mr. Shapiro, welcome to Frontpage Interview. Shapiro: It’s an honor and a pleasure. FP: Tell us about the ingredients of your own life that motivated you to write this book. Shapiro: I’ve spent some time in public school, and having seen the liberal propaganda put out by lower public education, I thought I knew what I would get when I set foot on UCLA’s campus. But I was totally unprepared for the level of radical leftism expressed in the classroom,...

HANOVER, NH -- The morning of Wednesday, Nov. 12 started out like any other Wednesday. My alarm went off at 5:50 a.m., I hit the snooze button, and then heard that dreaded chirping sound 5 minutes later. I dragged myself out of bed, threw my clothes on, and headed to morning swim workout expecting to hear a familiar "you're late" from Coach Jim Wilson. Instead, as we lifted weights that morning, our coach announced that General Wesley Clark would be joining us in the pool in a little less than an hour. Excited, but confused as to why a presidential...

Jackson 'brainwashed by black separatists' By Matthew Beard 31 December 2003 The saga surrounding Michael Jackson took a new twist yesterday amid reports that a black separatist group was taking over his affairs and keeping him "semi-captive". The claims were made as it emerged that Jackson's official spokesman Stuart Backerman had parted company with the star's team, citing "strategic differences" over the handling of child abuse allegations against the pop star. Sources told The New York Times and other American media that the Nation of Islam was handling Jackson's security arrangements. They also claimed that members of the religious group...

What does it mean to be an American? In a recent Gallup Youth Survey*, Gallup posed this question to U.S. teens (aged 13 to 17). Asked on an open-ended basis, the question allowed respondents to offer whatever answer came to mind. While some people might expect disinterested replies, teens' responses reveal a deep and sincere appreciation of the implications of their status as Americans.Teens frequently mentioned freedom, or some aspect of it, in their responses. One 17-year-old boy said being an American means having "freedom to choose what school I want to attend, what church I want to go to,...

An irate Iraqi demands that a peacenik answer the trick question: "How can you promote peace and justice without removing Saddam?" Andrea "the little girl" obviously can't provide an answer and giggles while she waffles to her own agenda. THIS IS MUST HEAR AUDIO! Just writing down the text here won't do it justice.
