Definition Of A Hero

Breitbart editor-at-large Ben Shapiro wasted no time in tweeting his reaction to the news that NBA center Jason Collins announced that he was gay (becoming the first American major-league professional to come out of the closet while still playing).

So Jason Collins is a hero because he's gay? Our standard for heroism has dropped quite a bit since Normandy.

Note from the Daily Dude:  Jason Collins is a hero because he open declared his homosexuality while still playing-- risking both his career and livelihood, as well as condemnation from douchebags like Shapiro.

So who exactly does Shapiro consider a hero?  How about radio host Mark Levin:

On the phenomenal @marklevinshow tonight to discuss 'Bullies'! Very excited. Mark's a hero. amazon.com/Bullies-Cultur...

Or radio personality Adam Carolla:

@adamcarolla is my hero: hotair.com/archives/2011/...

Or freshman senator Ted Cruz:

or the guy who ran against Sherrod Brown in Ohio:

Hero Josh Mandel running an extraordinarily tight race in OH with terrible incumbent Sherrod Brown: rasmussenreports.com/public_content...

Not exactly setting the bar that high, are you Ben?
