The Left likes to show how tolerant and broad-minded it is by promoting the writing and careers of politically correct "conservatives." Jennifer Rubin, Bill Kristol, Ben Shapiro, George Will etc. are invariably the talking heads that get invited as the token voices of "conservatism" on mainstream media outlets.

Salon's favorite "conservatives," the anonymous Atticus Goldfinch and Kilgore Trout go after Ben Shapiro with meat cleavers.

They aren't friends and Shapiro isn't one of Salon's favorites.

Kat Timpf is though, but I can't imagine her being happy about that.

I never heard of "Atticus Goldfinch" until today.

The first word on his profile is "ex-conservative," which would sort of disqualify him for this ... uh ... honor.

And all he and Trout do is tweet.

How much can you really say in 140 (or even 280) characters, anyway?

Shapiro was a NeverTrumper and a supporter of the Gang of Eight's amnesty deal. If "Atticus Goldfinch" and "Kilgore Trout" don't like him, it's just a matter of internal rivalry over which neocon RINO gets to wear the crown of liberal elite approval.
