If you’re in D.C. for CPAC weekend and interested in rubbing shoulders with white supremacists, the National Press Club has you covered. On the evening of Feb. 27, the Press Club will provide space in its downtown D.C. building for an event called “Beyond Conservatism,” hosted by the National Policy Institute. The Southern Poverty Law Center characterizes the National Policy Institute as one of the “most important” think tanks in academic racism. Its website says it is “dedicated to the heritage, identity, and future of European people in the United States and around the world,” and its tagline is, “For our people. Our culture. Our future.” [White Supremacists to Hold Confab at the National Press Club the Weekend of CPAC, Slate, February 19, 2015]

Brimelow, as SPLC details, [sic] has said America faces “unprecedented demographic mutation” and that 9/11 was due to immigration.

Betsy Woodruff ( email her) has a cute little point and sputter piece she slapped together from SPLC talking pointsNote how the blame is immediately pinned on the National Press Club for, you know, hosting a discussion that the Southern Poverty Law Center doesn't like. And here come the scare quotes. What did Peter Brimelow say that means he can no longer be welcomed in polite society?Is that even up for debate anymore? Doesn't take much to trigger the rent seekers these days does it?

I'm sure you're not surprised to learn that Woodruff used to write for National Review and is a "William F. Buckley Journalism Fellow," because of course.

Back to trying to get the National Press Club to ban the "white supremacists."
