Patton Oswalt may be a comedian, but he knows when to take the clown nose off. And when it comes to Ben Shapiro, Oswalt has no time to joke around. This is serious business, folks. And we know this is serious business because of the people Oswalt’s tapping to make his point.
First up, we’ve got Vic Berger. You remember … he’s the guy who called Ben Shapiro a “pig-person” for pointing out that a lot of women are going to dental school. Oh, and he also accused Shapiro of inciting mass murder. Well, anyway, Oswalt retweeted this damning evidence of Ben Shapiro’s awfulness:

What’s Berger’s point, exactly? That Ben Shapiro wants to bring back slavery and hates black people? Consider that point … not made. But that’s OK, because Oswalt has someone else waiting in the wings. Someone very, very special and serious and special:

Ladies and gentlemen, the one and only Nathan Bernard! In addition to threatening to sue Twitchy for libel for posting his comments in full and in context — and accusing Shapiro of inciting mass murder, natch — Bernard has also been pretty busy putting together these delightful videos linking Shapiro to Alt-Right trolls like Mike Cernovich and Jack Posobiec as well as Alex Jones and Paul Joseph Watson. And, oh yeah … accusing him of inciting mass murder:

Wow. Well, gee, Patton. When you put it like that … it’s still incredibly stupid and disingenuous. But nice try! A for effort!
You seriously believe this?

Is he, though? Is he really?
Of course you would retweet this stupidity.

LOL, you're a hack now.

This is the equivalent to tabloid garbage.

No thanks. I'll pass on videos selectively edited by a maniac.
I'm honestly shocked you're promoting this psychopath. Disappointing.

This is absolutely ridiculous.

This is ridiculous. By any standard where Ben Shapiro is responsible for inciting violence, so are the vast bulk of political commentators on both sides of the aisle. https://t.co/1P3O7HmcUS

If your cutting together 3 second clips of people set to sad music your clearly removing all context for a reason. Sad to think how obsessed this person must be to spend the hours digging for tiny flashes to create a rascist narrative. Isn't he doing what he's accused them of?

I don't like Ben Shapiro, but it's wrong to lump him in with the other people in this video. He's generally rational (if usually wrong) and does not promote hatred. His issues with Islam could just as easily be applied to Judaism and Christianity – but they're not inaccurate.)

This is absurd. @benshapiro didn’t even vote for Trump, how can he be alt-right? He literally left Breitbart over Trump. What a ridiculous smear job.

Jumping the shark again, I see. No facts in that video against Shapiro, and the alt-right hates him more than you do. Why so scared of discussions?

This is the dumbest thing I’ve seen in a while. And the #WHCADinner was this week…

We’ll leave with Patton this:
