I am glad that my self-control problems are limited to being unable to keep myself from clicking on this thread; I've finally been burned enough to stop following the links you guys put here

wondering if Derb is actually a Manchurian candidate

I'm ever so slightly amazed even the National Review will let him write for them.

would really love to have been a fly on the wall when derbs gave that "talk" to his sons

good lord! so, is 'taki's magazine' normally st0rmfr0nt w/a 'classy' layout?

well i just read a gavin mcinnes piece in it where he pointed out that since only a small number of southern whites owned slaves and since the south's wealth was destroyed anyway, after the civil war was over "we were all at a level playing field", so

man.

checked the other contributors and joe bob briggs writing for this site is bumming me out. his b-movie show that ran on TNT many years ago was fun. caught both 'the warriors' and 'motel hell' for the first time on it.

i'm more pissed about daniel larison, but he hasn't written there since 08

goole, Friday, 6 April 2012 20:51 (twelve years ago) link

Larison is the only conservative these days with whom I can imagine sharing a cigarette without wanting to stab him in the left eye with it.

so do yourself a favor and don't dig into the comments on that article.

Rich Lowry gently nudges Derbyshire in front of a bus, but NRO commenters are having none of it.

Frank Youngenstein (Phil D.), Saturday, 7 April 2012 19:07 (twelve years ago) link

You Lowry have now associated the Derbyshire Screed with NRO by vociferously disassociating late on a Fri evening in the finest Watergate – strike that – Obamagate style.

original bgm, Saturday, 7 April 2012 19:13 (twelve years ago) link

is obamagate even a thing? why do I care?

original bgm, Saturday, 7 April 2012 19:13 (twelve years ago) link

Oh, I'm sure these morons think Obama invented the Friday News Dump that has been a thing since there was a mass media but which the Bush admin made an art of. History began on Jan. 21, 2009, you know.

Jonah Goldberg ‏ @JonahNRO

For the record, I find my colleague John Derbyshire's piece fundamentally indefensible and offensive. I wish he hadn't written it.

Exile in lolville (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Saturday, 7 April 2012 20:03 (twelve years ago) link

Wow when you write something so terrible that Jonah GOLDBERG won't even try to defend it somehow then you know you are out in the far regions of awfulness.

Fig On A Plate Cart (Alex in SF), Saturday, 7 April 2012 20:13 (twelve years ago) link

He weakens his condemnation by needlessly adding the less-than-absolute qualifier "fundamentally". Jonah showing the instincts of a poor writer non-shocker.

"For the record"

I also loved Lowry's "needless to say," as if Derbyshire had ruined a long history of his magazine not publishing racists

what will happen to his podcast?

President Keyes, Saturday, 7 April 2012 23:39 (twelve years ago) link

Is he still on the Post-Election Cruise?

"It’s a free country, and Derb can write whatever he wants, wherever he wants."

Actually he can't really write wherever he wants as um you are about to prove.

Fig On A Plate Cart (Alex in SF), Sunday, 8 April 2012 01:05 (twelve years ago) link

if you guys book the cruise I'll join you

@kathrynlopez sez not my problem:

Regarding my “deafening silence”: I didn’t write it. I didn’t publish it. I’ve never heard such talk of such a talk.

Followed up with don't bother me with the Derb it's Easter:

Not to be too simple, but it’s holy Saturday and let’s pray for some peace.

"i've never heard such talk of such a talk" - is this some biblical allusion or is she illiterate?

is she illiterate

not entirely, but she certainly overrates herself as a phrasemaker.

"such talk of such a talk" is killing me

Piece about right wing bloggers rallying around Derbs.

Some tried to paint the corners. Tom Maguire, for example, who has devoted the past few weeks to trying to prove that Trayvon Martin had it coming, said, "a friend of mine (AF) commented that Paul Simon fills Central Park and all is well; Diana Ross draws a crowd and there are near-riots. His thought, roughly - 'gee, go figure.'" The Diana Ross riot was in 1983, and many, many black artists have performed in New York since then without incident. (The Black-Eyed Peas played Central Park last summer and no riot ensued; perhaps Maguire, or "AF," attributes this to the calming presence of Fergie.)

LOLwry may have closed comments on his own post but for the curious there's this thread.

Exile in lolville (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 9 April 2012 13:47 (twelve years ago) link

To you nice married betaboys Lowry and Goldberg, if you think sacrificing Derb to the thought police will save your bacon in the long haul, you're very much mistaken.

the hairy office thing (Eazy), Monday, 9 April 2012 14:06 (twelve years ago) link

NRO's readership thinks NRO is racist but too cowardly to admit it outright. Who are we to disagree with them?
