How can people who claim to love God and embrace Jesus write this filth? How can any person Republican or whatever condone statements such as these? Why can't can't rational reasonably intelligent people denounce this?? Many did. Just as many justified it.

National Review columnist calls for genetic cleansing, starting with Chelsea Clinton
By Bev Conover
February 23, 2001—If the National Review, that icon of the right, ever had any respectability, it is gone with columnist and contributing editor John Derbyshire's veiled call for and justification of killing Bill and Hillary Clinton's daughter, Chelsea.
We thank BuzzFlash.com for clueing us about Derbyshire's appalling column, "Be Very Afraid," in the Feb. 15 National Review Online, in which Derbyshire stated, "I hate Chelsea Clinton."
And what it is this Brit, who has gone around the bend with his fellow countryman Christopher Hitchens, hates about Chelsea, aside from her looks—something he says he won't discuss, then snidely discusses them at great length? He hates her genes.
Chelsea has the "dreaded" genes of her parents. And you know what that means: she might some day run for public office. Shudder.
Of course, the corrupted genes of the Bush Crime Clan are just fine with Derbyshire. It is those Clinton genes that must be stamped out. So let us embark on a course of genetic cleansing by reviving how kings and despots dealt with "corruption of the blood" in the past. Today, it's cleansing the Clinton genes and tomorrow it's anyone else whose genes don't come up to the rabid right's standards.
To make his case—all in good fun, of course, ha-ha NOT—Derbyshire repeats a litany of lies about the Clintons—perjury, rape, selling secrets to the Chinese, Hillary's commodities trade and Hillary's first book (all of whose profits were donated for the upkeep of the White House). Golly gee, he left out all the lies put out by the Bushistas' propagandists, then denied by George W. when maximum damage had been done and the lies had forever been burned into the empty heads of the Rabid Reich's followers, about how those "evil" Clintons trashed the White House and made off with the silverware and glassware from Air Force One. By gummy, he even left out Bill's "slimy" last minute pardons, not to mention the gifts he and Hillary made off with. Then "the man is gone, off to a lifetime of golfing at all-white clubs, biting his lip in the pulpits of black churches while the hallelujahs soar, goosing waitresses, slithering in and out of shady business deals, being collared by showbiz bores at Barbra Streisand's parties, and defending himself in court." As for Hillary, "his lady has no future beyond the U.S. Senate. The people of New York, trapped in their little Stalinist time-warp, still fretting about why that nice Mr. Adlai Stevenson didn't get in in '52 (my explanation: WE NEED ADLAI BADLY! was the worst campaign slogan ever) will probably go on voting for her until, like Gagoola the hag in King Solomon's Mines, "She has lived so long that none can remember when she was not old, and always she it is who has trained the witch hunters, and made the land evil in the sight of the heavens above." But given her far-left paper trail and her amazing capacity to make people detest her where'er she treads, Hillary's maxed out: She has no real future."
So, you can forget about Mom and Dad, because Chelsea is the target here. After all, "Clintonism may yet rise again, like Glenn Close from that bathtub. For, ladies and gentlemen, the tworch has been paaahssed to a noooh generation of Clintons. On February 27th, Chelsea Clinton will turn 21." Then Derbyshire offered this prescription for dealing with Chelsea:
"Chelsea is a Clinton. She bears the taint; and though not prosecutable in law, in custom and nature the taint cannot be ignored. All the great despotisms of the past—I'm not arguing for despotism as a principle, but they sure knew how to deal with potential trouble—recognized that the families of objectionable citizens were a continuing threat. In Stalin's penal code it was a crime to be the wife or child of an "enemy of the people." The Nazis used the same principle, which they called Sippenhaft, "clan liability." In Imperial China, enemies of the state were punished "to the ninth degree": that is, everyone in the offender's own generation would be killed, and everyone related via four generations up, to the great-great-grandparents, and four generations down, to the great-great-grandchildren, would also be killed. (This sounds complicated, but in practice what usually happened was that a battalion of soldiers was sent to the offender's home town, where they killed everyone they could find, on the principle neca eos omnes, deus suos agnoscet—"let God sort 'em out.")
In an attempt to cover his butt, he ended with this disclaimer of sorts—a weak "hey, don't blame me if some nutcase takes me seriously and snuffs Chelsea:"
"We don't, of course, institutionalize such principles in our society, and a good thing too. Our humanity and forbearance, however, has a cost. The cost is, that the vile genetic inheritance of Bill and Hillary Clinton may live on to plague us in the future. It isn't over, folks. Dr. Nancy Snyderman, a "friend of the family" (how much money did she give them?) is quoted as saying that Chelsea shows every sign of following her parents into politics. "She's been bred for it," avers Dr. Snyderman. Be afraid: be very afraid."
Given some of Derbyshire's other columns, this one cannot be brushed off as the ravings of a lunatic. He has twice defended racial profiling, has spewed invective about Hillary and all those other "ugly" Democratic women, bashed on the Chinese because they resent being called "Chinamen," thinks all those red states and counties on the 2000 election maps—the ones that comprise acreage, sagebrush and tumbleweed—counted for more than the will of the far greater number of people crowded into the blue states and counties, and has an insatiable appetite for all lies fed to him about the Clintons—whom he depicted as roaches in his Feb. 20 column. Now we have his Final Solution to the Clinton genes problem: Make gone with Chelsea as you would any other roach.
People have received visits from the Secret Service for far less. Some have even wound up with stiff prison terms. Are Mr. Derbyshire and his bosses about to receive such a visit? Is Mr. Derbyshire ripe for an orange jump suit, a room next to John Hinckley's or would deportation solve the problem?
According to BuzzFlash, "The 'venerable' National Review has refused to remove an unconscionable article that suggests Chelsea Clinton should be murdered." Why are we not surprised?
The level of hatred for all things Clinton and Democratic in this country has reached the boiling point. Every day is a piling on by not just the right-wing media, but also the so-called "mainstream" media. What will it take to stop it? Certainly not the Bushistas who illegally occupy the White House. In their twisted minds, anything that keeps the people's attention diverted from what they and their puppet, George W., are doing is good, despite their mild protestations to the contrary.
Does anyone want to partner in a body bag concession? The way things are going, they are going to be in great demand.
