Demagogues like Piers Morgan tend to follow patterns. As an interviewer who wants to drive public opinion on the topic of disarming the law-abiding, he has generally performed his stategy well: bring on soft-spoken guests like Larry Prat, and shout them down; and bring on raving loonies like Alex Jones and let them go on in order to make gun owners look bad.

But last week Morgan made an error and brought on Ben Shapiro. Shapiro was polite and well-spoken… but would not let Morgan bully him. And that clearly threw Morgan for a loop; instead of a coherent interview, Morgan kept bouncing from one question to another, like a drowning man desperately grabbing for something, anything, to get a hold of.

Heh.

Another Morgan interview mistake was to former Marine Joshua Boston, who calmly and politely owned Morgan:
