Recently the Huffington Post took a big swipe at Charles Murray, with all the intellectual rigor we’ve come to expect from the blank-slate universalist Left. The argument appears to be that he’s a racist, sexist old white guy, so everything he says must, a priori, be false, and therefore beneath refutation.
(When an idea is simply forbidden to be true, good people should steer clear of engaging it; tempting us to do so, after all, is how the Devil reaps his harvest of human souls. Just cover your ears, and pray a little louder. And notify the appropriate authorities.)
Murray pushed back (a little) today, here.
