Whoever Steve Rendall is, I'll take a wild guess and say he lives nowhere near the ghetto. His column is an SPLC-style roundup of all our favorite guys and their connections to improper thought. Nowhere, of course, does he tuck into refuting the facts about racial difference. The whole thing is built upon the worn formula: 1. Races are all equal, 2. These guys say races are different, 3. Therefore these guys are bad.

It's an unfalsifiable theory of the highest order. Any difference that exists between the races can only be "explained" in terms of racism practiced by whites against others. Any other explaination is explicitly prohibited [I]a priori[/I]. To entertain other ideas or explainations is tantamount to declaring yourself a mass-murderer.

Its just interesting who they're going after now - paleo's instead of neo's.

You especially have to love how the operative word in aspect number 3 (above) is "bad," not "mistaken." That's why liberalism (if one wants to call it that) is a civic religion, rather than a political ideology. I used to wonder why that was, but considering who's pulling the strings of liberalism, and their Talmudic motivations for doing so, its not surprising that one perverse religion should give birth to another....

Most leftists seem blissfully unaware of the distinction between paleos and neos, and simply refer to anyone they don't care for on the right as a "neo-conservative." I'm sure many references can be found via Google to Pat Buchanan or Tom Tancredo being lambasted as a neo-conservatives. Paleo-cons are the foil by which leftists ignore the multiculturalist tendency of neo-cons and thereby feel justified in calling them racists, xenophobes, etc.

I think FAIR was a media plant actually, to defer complaintsabout their liberalism. This organization had barely got off the ground (I'd found it doing a search for the immigration control FAIRUSA)and all of a sudden some skinny jewish guy for FAIR with a Trotsky style goatee is all over the interview circuit on TV.

I know little of contemporary American political opinion.
But I find your imagery very good and universal.

Whoever Steve Rendall is[/QUOTE]
I think I've seen this clown somewhere, possibly CSPAN, and if my recollection is correct he's one of those sweater-tied-around-the-neck metrosexual-type liberals. Seeing his name here gave me a slight case of the willies, so I'm probably right.

FAIR, founded by Jeff Cohen:

Someone could e-mail Mr. Rendall and ask for the basis of his premise that races are equal, genetically or otherwise. They might also remind him of the NYT's recent column on race and genetics (forget the author) and the NYT Magazine's recent article on racial genetics and medicine.

Yeah, Jeff Cohen was the guy I always saw on TV. Probably right about him being metro, or at least metro-looking, though I'm not really up on that. A skinny guy dark-haired guy with a goatee. Pretty unsavery looking overall IMO.
