At least you're consistent.

You keep missing the point. Klein spent hours telling Harris why he should not engage in certain discussions or, if he must, that he must do so in a manner satisfactory to Klein’s politically correct sensibilities.

Of course the debate itself could not be censorship. Political correctness doesn’t directly censor. It places certain items inside an often arbitrary and maleable sphere of deviancy chosen by the politically correct.

Klein never got to the merits of Murray. That I don’t buy Murray, that you don’t buy Murray, is irrelevant. Klein is, to use a popular word today, attempting to “shame” Harris. His aim is to cause people like Harris to cease engaging in certain controversial discussions in the future. If you don’t see what’s wrong with that, you’re either challenged, impossibly obtuse, or brainwashed.
