Steyn, Steorts, GLAAD, Newhart, Suits, Deniers [War at National Review NOW]
National Review Online (The Corner) ^ | 12/22/13 | Jack Fowler

Posted on 12/22/2013 6:25:48 PM PST by madprof98

I believe Mark Steyn’s new column is a triumph, and wrote him on Friday to say that. The ensuing critical take on it by my colleague, Jason Steorts, left me shaking my head. My diminished intelligence, compared to NR’s Big Brains, should lead me to remain quiet, but I won’t.One brother — or sister, or let’s say a sibling — of the gay issue, from the perspective of the Left, is environmentalism. Or, specifically, “global warming,” now in its 2.0 version as “climate change.” Its advocates pronounce their positions with utmost scientific certainty, and just as eagerly label their foes “deniers” — a term hearkening to crackpots who claim the Holocaust was bogus.

Weird, weird, weird. Today an unknown "managing editor" at National Review took on Mark Steyn in a series of increasingly angry posts at The Corner. After hundreds of comments from readers/subscribers (almost all pro-Steyn), the publisher (Fowler) weighed in with a post supporting Steyn. That post then DISAPPEARED for a while, but now has returned. This is like watching people disappear from photos in Pravda.

Bill Buckley is probably turning in his grave fast enough to generate electricity....

Hahaha. Couldn’t happen to a more deserving publication. I’ll never forgive them for what they did to Derbyshire, bunch of cowards.

Victor Davis Hansen is the only writer from NRO that I pay any attention to. It’s been a couple years or so since I opened the site, other than to read one of VDH’s columns!

Wow, wow, thanks for posting, and it’s usually so dull over there on the weekend!

Steyn rules, anybody who disagrees with him can pretty much go jump in a lake.

Confused as to what is going on? Who attacked Steyn? Fowler or Stoerts?

Steorts started it by responding to a column Steyn wrote in defense of free speech: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3104374/posts

Steyn is the shizznit. He’s the only person I’ll tune into when Rush is gone.

Just wait till the election season gets going. Watching the gop go gay will be interesting.

“Steyn is the shizznit. He’s the only person I’ll tune into when Rush is gone.”

Spot on! When Rush retires the left will celebrate, but Steyn will be a much more formidable foe. His logic is iron clad.

Mark has been under fire and is disinclined to hold his own fire.

Taking on Steyn on any issue is beyond foolish.
