Make no sense? Let one of the few thinking commenters explain:
You know, for all this empty "bully" nonsense Shapiro is selling (to promote his book) , all the NRA has to do is say "no".
That's it.
Shapiro, I know you're trying to sell a book, but implying cowardice to the NRA seems a bit much, doesn't it? I don't think the average NRA member, or the NRA leadership are cowards.
YOU evidently DO.
That's it.

And guess what, he's right, Shapiro has a book coming out called "Bullies", and so the title of the column makes perfect sense.

(60,536 posts)6. Unfortunately, Breitbat's heirs (family and political cronies) are running the
news empire now, it will forever be known as Breitbart. Of course, the hope the staff will get laughed into oblivion, sued into bankruptcy or suddenly sane will be eternal, otherwise it's with us for a good while. Ditto the idiot Drudge; when he's pushing up daisies, his heirs will pledge to continue on and uphold THE legacy.
