And for the record AFAIK the first person to call for Derbyshire's firing was a conservative economist who writes for Forbes, Why Derbyshire must be fired while the first person to widely, if somewhat needlessly point out that Derbyshire had a long history of hating black people, was a diarist at that noted bastion of liberal thinking, Redstate.

So even some conservatives are moral, wise and smart enough to recognize pure hatred when they see it and take steps to distance themselves.


"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
Winter is Coming

Now this is the Law of the Jungleā€”as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
