No, you're not being a bore, you're right. I should have said "pay attention to his inner monologue".
So, as a cross-post with the other thread, this place is often instructive, and I appreciate it. No MH connotations intended but point taken.

Shapiro has apologized for the "leftist" accusation:

Here's the full interview:

The truly depressing thing for me is that, if I played it to my American students, many of them would side with Shapiro and say that Neil was being a bully. They're not used to interviewers asking conservatives hard questions and not accepting bullshit answers.
Especially telling is Shapiro's shock that punishing women who have abortions should be seen as a dark ages policy, as if it never occurred to him that such a perspective could reasonably exist and be worthy of debate. Again I recognize that reaction in my students from time to time (guns, death penalty discussions, etc).
But then I am in Florida...Last edited by Satchmo Distel; 10-05-2019, 22:25.
