Jim Goad: The 16 Most Annoying People of 2016

Jim Goad‘s list includes…

10. BEN SHAPIRO
Small enough to be dwarfed by horse jockeys, this quintessential neocon windbag postures as someone who fights leftist witch-hunting yet revealed himself as a hypocrite when he encouraged that “legitimate racists” should be targeted and have their careers hurt:

Of course there are legitimate racists, and we should target them, and we should find them, and we should hurt their careers, because racism is unacceptable.

Since there is no way to quantify “racism,” there is no way to determine whether someone is a “legitimate racist,” although by Mr. Shapiro’s definition, a Jewish ethnostate in the Middle East is not “racist,” while Donald Trump’s legions of supporters are filled with subhuman “anti-Semites.”

In true neo-McCarthyite fashion, Shapiro published a list in late August of “20 alt-right-friendly or alt-right people/outlets.” A hearty seven of those listed have written for Taki’s Magazine.

And I didn’t make this list, which is why I’m pissed.
