Why are people jumping all over William Bennett?

Well it will automatically be termed racist because it's a white guy advocating eliminating a portion or all of the black community. That all crime is cause by minorities is a typicall conservative viewpoint. While you are correct in saying that abortion is typically a liberal focus. I should have been more clear distinguishing my point.

And this is much like the claim that it was the societal acceptence of homosexuality that led to the coming to power of the Nazi party in Germany. If you can find any two events that occur at the same time then someone will say that they are endelibly related. Much like the new claim that drinking soda/pop causes esauphagal cancer. This report was made because someone looked at the higher rate of consumption is occuring at the same time as a higher rate of E.cancer. Though no scientific evidence has been done to validate this theory, many doctors have supported it as fact.

How Hitleresque! I think that guys show is on in Dallas, he lives here.

It's a statement he made that came out of a greater context so yah - it sounds bad as a stand alone.

I know it is a proven statistic, it just isn't PC (fuck I hate that shit) for a white guy to say anything bad about any race in the public forum.

Yeah but to say it in the first place was wrong even to go back seconds later and say that it's wrong. You have to remember in todays trigger happy media world there are no take backs allowed. Many a political/media figure has lost their carreer over one little remark, just look at Jimmy the greek, and Howard Dean for examples of how one tiny thing ended them almost instantly.

I am all for open discussion, but if you are going to say something controversial then you need to be ready for the fall out, no matter how overdone it may be.

He didnt go back seconds later. It was all part of the same statement, which was intended to be outrageous in the first place.

If the only bad thing about it that him (a white guy) saying that wasnt PC then in my mind there is no problem.

It still means the same thing.

The bottom line is that its no longer a "viewpoint" if its true. Its now called "knowledge."

And taken out of context I without hearing the original broadcast wasn't sure of the time relation of the statement and qualifier. I am sure that it has been separated and plastered to the press for the desired effect from his antagonists.

I agree that breaking the PC code isn't too bad a thing to do, but society tends to not agree with that.

No because in my changed post it would mean that white people cause no crime, and that is a total farce.

I don't give a fuck about political correctness...
If you're going to make an argument that genocide will lower the crime rate then your show NEEDS to be terminated...
