Six Times "Worse" Than Bennett
Bill Bennett, Wednesday, Sept. 28:
If Bill Bennett said anything wrong (which he didn't) then Juan Williams is 6 times as bad AND a hypocrite. On "Fox News Sunday" here's what he had to say about the Bennett "much ado about nothing".
How dare he even suggest such things!
"When white liberals berate white nonliberals for thinking about crime [or anything else] in racial terms, then, they are not acting in a way that actually promises to improve the lives of blacks. Rather, they are showing off their own putative moral superiority." (Thanks to Opinion Journal) ¶ Monday, October 03, 2005
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.What did Bill Bennett really say? He said IF your SOLE PURPOSE were to reduce crime then aborting every African-American child would accomplish that. Of course, logically so would terminating every white baby or Hispanic baby. He went on to call such a thing "morally reprehensible."

Let's count them:So, by the logic of the left-wing, politically correct, race reactionaries in this country, every mentally ill person, every Christian, every Jew, every senior citizen, every Caucasian should be up in arms about Mr. Williams outrageous, bigoted, insensitive remarks.
1. "...maybe we should have abortions for every woman who has a history in her family of mental illness or anybody who has a disabled child..."
2. "...let's get rid of all the Christians, they certainly have been involved in lots of wars."
3. "How about the Jews?"
4. "We have trouble with older people in this country. Clearly, they, you know, cause a great burden on our Social Security system. Maybe we should do away with some of these older people."
5. "...maybe if we killed off these white people, we wouldn't have so many mass murders in America..."
6. "...a lot of these Jewish people have businesses and they dominate the academy, and therefore wouldn't it be better..."
How dare he even suggest such things!
