Considering what they did to Derbyshire and how quickly they did it, I doubt they’ll hold out long

Top Conservative Publication Defends Linking Hispanics To Low IQ

Heritage Was Wrong

How firm can be the spine of a defender who writes anything as silly as this?

In modern America it is axiomatic that “racism,” whatever it is, is wrong — and this is a good thing.

How does he know it’s a good thing if he does not know what racism is?

How can he or we be confident racism is wrong, in that case – let alone accept it as “axiomatic” that it is wrong?

Against opponents like these, the liberal witch-hunters and PC thought police have already won.

Anyway, note well that VerBruggen is not defending Richwine’s actual thesis, but only his right to advance it and defend it without penalty and without fear of losing his job.

And that not so much because he cares what happens to Richwine, in particular, but because of the chilling effect of such events on free and honest scientific investigation – not, by the way, because of the chilling effect on free speech among the laity, the throbbing heart and life’s breathe of democracy and the foundation of political liberty.

A chilling effect that is, of course, desired and intended by our liberal thought and speech police.

Oh, yes, I know, saying racism, or anything else, is (or is not!) wrong is talking nonsense.

So?

One speaks with the vulgar.

See the posts labeled "amoralism."

Update 5/15/2013.

For the past few days, NR has been adding articles by different people defending Richwine and people have published defenses at other conservative sites.

So I take it back.

Somebody might even give him a job.
