‘I just got banned from Levin’s Facebook page for saying basically the same thing. I questioned why he was playing guardian angel for Carson, who backs amnesty, TPP, gun control and other things.’
Because it’s easier to forcibly silence people than to engage them. Bullies have operated on this principle time out of mind.
If you met Levin on neutral territory, where he couldn’t exercise absolute control, he’d probably go with personal attacks, especially on your integrity. Otherwise he’d have to respond to your actual points...and that would be difficult.
Fantasy writer, I agree with you. Levin is definitely a vane, insecure bully who cannot handle criticism, especially from the right.
Levin has indeed when on neutral ground where he had no control attacked people’s character when they get the better of him instead of try to challenge their points.
