Interview: Ben Shapiro Talks Bullies
"'What makes people feel good on the left, really, at the roots, what makes people feel great on the left, is a sense of unearned moral superiority. It’s all they care about,' Ben Shapiro tells me during my latest interview. 'They wake up in the morning and a lot of them can’t point to accomplishments. A lot of them can’t point to things that they’ve done that are worthwhile, but they can point to you. And they can say, well, at least I’m not you. You know, you’re the bad guy, I’m the good guy.'" Yes, being superior is part of their identity. Take a look at any random Frank Rich column he wrote while at the NYT. [rdbrewer]
