Did anyone see this columnist John Derbyshire on C-Span this mornin..
He had the nerve to tell black people to forget about their history. His basic points were there is no racism,and pull your self up by your boot straps. I believe that you can't label everything racism but this man was ridiculous.

1. His name sounds familiar...

Isn't he the one who wrote a column saying that Chelsea Clinton was the spawn of evil and should be killed?

Nice guy all around...
:puke:

On edit, it is amazing that such nitwits are presented as "pundits" on any channel! This is a huge part of our problem.

3. I recall that name also.
Somewhere on my HD, I have it stashed away. But Google is not only my friend, but much faster.

"I hate Chelsea Clintion," John Derbyshire declares in his Feb. 15 column. He admits at first that he doesn't have a clear reason for doing so, but one certainly emerges: She's a Clinton -- more specifically, "the vile genetic inheritance of Bill and Hillary Clinton."

And the only genuine solution for dealing with this situation, Derbyshire writes, is death:

"Chelsea is a Clinton. She bears the taint; and though not prosecutable in law, in custom and nature the taint cannot be ignored. All the great despotisms of the past — I'm not arguing for despotism as a principle, but they sure knew how to deal with potential trouble — recognized that the families of objectionable citizens were a continuing threat. In Stalin's penal code it was a crime to be the wife or child of an "enemy of the people". The Nazis used the same principle, which they called Sippenhaft, "clan liability". In Imperial China, enemies of the state were punished "to the ninth degree": that is, everyone in the offender's own generation would be killed, and everyone related via four generations up, to the great-great-grandparents, and four generations down, to the great-great-grandchildren, would also be killed."

4. Oh, THAT John Derbyshire ...!
Kicking his ass SEVERELY was on my to-do list, but then I got busy with something else.

If I outsource his ass-kicking, does it still count...?

Just askin'.
