W's Sec. of Education says crime would go down by aborting black babies.
 

Good old William Bennett, high-minded ethicist and neocon darling, has a syndcated radio show... Sunday, he siad this:

... it's true that if you wanted to reduce crime, you could -- if that were your sole purpose, you could abort every black baby in this country, and your crime rate would go down. That would be an impossible, ridiculous, and morally reprehensible thing to do, but your crime rate would go down.

Impossible and ridiculous, but apparently worth mentioning, anyway... So is he now going to fight the likely SC ruling banning abortion?

(edit: Bennett was Reagan's Sec. of Education, sorry. Now, he's just another right wing blowhard and author "Book of Virtues." Apparently racism is a virtue in his world.)

Surely you realize your credibility is hit hard posting crap like this. C'mon, get real.

what credibility?



He does have a point, though. I mean, if we killed every white baby, or every black baby, or any _____ baby, crime for that segment of the population is going to go down.
Less people in a group = less crime for that group.



Please note: I am not advocating or encouraging the murder of babies. Liberals are baby-killers, not conservatives.

At a March 1925 international birth control gathering in New York City, a speaker warned of the menace posed by the "black" and "yellow" peril. The man was not a Nazi or Klansman; he was Dr. S. Adolphus Knopf, a member of Margaret Sanger's American Birth Control League (ABCL), which along with other groups eventually became known as Planned Parenthood.

Planned Parenthood is an extension of the Democrat Party.

He "does" have a point, though. Same as the one on top your head, and Bennett's.

Damn, Mulholland is fast. And also pointed.

Re: W's Sec. of Education says crime would go down by aborting black babies.
 

So you are mentioning it because....?

Yes, but he was (supposedly!) referring to 'crime rate'.

But he does make a lot of smoke and waves at times! Always good to see liberals self destructing...

Ditto what Mullholland said. Planned Parenthood's raison d'etre is the extermination of the poor and non-whites.

aborting white republican honkys would cut down on ignorance as well

that's beautiful man.

LOL! And it would cut down on cronies available to be appointed to corrupt Republican administrations...

Libs are always in favor of killing innocent babies :(

It makes me sad.

This is getting repetetive. Same crap, day after day, from both sides. Couldn't we do Wayne a favor and cut down his server load, by just reducing our comments to:

#include standardpartisanrhetoric.h

Uh, right, and that's why Barry Goldwater was one of the founders of PP.

It'd be useful to your cause if occasionally your posts intersected reality.

The mainstream media doesn't touch a lot of things said by the extreme left or extreme right. But I kinda doubt this one is going to stay quiet.

Here's the transcript of the show segment in question. The context doesn't redeem it.

-------------
From the September 28 broadcast of Salem Radio Network's Bill Bennett's Morning in America:

CALLER: I noticed the national media, you know, they talk a lot about the loss of revenue, or the inability of the government to fund Social Security, and I was curious, and I've read articles in recent months here, that the abortions that have happened since Roe v. Wade, the lost revenue from the people who have been aborted in the last 30-something years, could fund Social Security as we know it today. And the media just doesn't -- never touches this at all.

BENNETT: Assuming they're all productive citizens?

CALLER: Assuming that they are. Even if only a portion of them were, it would be an enormous amount of revenue.

BENNETT: Maybe, maybe, but we don't know what the costs would be, too. I think as -- abortion disproportionately occur among single women? No.

CALLER: I don't know the exact statistics, but quite a bit are, yeah.

BENNETT: All right, well, I mean, I just don't know. I would not argue for the pro-life position based on this, because you don't know. I mean, it cuts both -- you know, one of the arguments in this book Freakonomics that they make is that the declining crime rate, you know, they deal with this hypothesis, that one of the reasons crime is down is that abortion is up. Well --

CALLER: Well, I don't think that statistic is accurate.

BENNETT: Well, I don't think it is either, I don't think it is either, because first of all, there is just too much that you don't know. But I do know that it's true that if you wanted to reduce crime, you could -- if that were your sole purpose, you could abort every black baby in this country, and your crime rate would go down. That would be an impossible, ridiculous, and morally reprehensible thing to do, but your crime rate would go down. So these far-out, these far-reaching, extensive extrapolations are, I think, tricky.

Andy demographer can tell you that the key cause of rise and fall in crime rate is the proportion of young males in the population. So, yes, removing young males via abortion or sending them off to die overseas could have a positive effect on crime rates. But why would Bennett bring race into it?

It interesting that when Republicans really have no argument, the first thing they do is start shouting, "Your credibility is shot!!!!!"

I know you guys dream about nailing Ann Coulter, but do you need to mimic everything that comes out of her mouth?

Why don't you trying arguing with something other than slogans that have just been deficated out of the mouths of conservative talk show hosts?

I gotta laugh...

A republican can't mention another race without being labeled a racist. He even says the idea is reprehensible and you still have a problem with it. Hillarious:)

Never miss a chance to ride in on the white horse of liberalism with your faux support of minorities while your very policies step on their thoats.

"look at me! Look at me! I'm defending you!" Please.:rolleyes:

Sad and hillarious at the same time.

Oh my..

So, some republican admits believing that killing black babies would curb the crime rate and Thompson's first thoughts are, "He does have a point, though."

Just...

wow.
