More discussion about New English Review debate

At the What’s Wrong with the World website, a discussion that started out by talking about the recent VFR thread on John Derbyshire, shifted into a discussion about the New English Review imbroglio. There is a surprising amount of criticism of NER’s amazingly PC senior editor Mary Jackson, which I’m glad to see.

In one exchange, commenter Jeff Singer says that I am “often intellectually incoherent and silly … an embarrassment to conservatism… mad…” Then, when asked by commenter Gintas of VFR for examples of my incoherence and silliness, Singer quoted a long attack on me by none other than my nemesis, Undercover Black Man.

It’s a classic example of how, in many cases, when people state sweeping, conclusory condemnations of someone, they literally don’t have the slightest idea what they’re talking about, but are simply repeating what they’ve heard from the most biased sources. This is the kind of prejudice that liberals ought to be combatting.
