He’s not “afraid” of it, he knows what they’ll say.

No kidding.

NR/NRO has hosted Derbyshire’s crap for some time, all knowingly.

It served its purpose of getting more readership, and I’m sure Lowry et. al. were glad for the extra web hits or video views or sales.

I wonder what it was about this particular essay that finally led NR to do what they did? All one has to do is listen to any of Derbyshire’s podcasts hosted at NRO to find tons of ugly and fringe stuff. Sort of like the audio I linked yesterday, where Derbyshire equated the state of Israel to the “ethno” (Derb’s words) political parties of Europe, political parties we consider far-right or neo-Nazi. And that is just the tip of it.
