Did you hear it live?
I think you would be less offended if you heard it on the show.
I did and my sister did. I think if you heard it live you were offended less.
I did hear it live. My opinion stands.
That's your opinion.
Excuse me I did hear the whole statement and my opinion stands.
No. I wish I could have seen the look on his face when he said that though.
The closest arguments to Sangers that I've seen recently, were those made in favor of finishing Terri Schaivo off. Eliminate the weak and make way for the strong.

From there the liberal media ran with it.
Your sentence doesn't make sense. In addition it's too bad the White House was the ones carrying the liberal media's water on this matter.
Consider the source - They never do make sense.
I've seen him post a picture of Bill Richardson 20 times in a week in response to completely unrelated subjects.

Oooo, well I guess I just don't get it.
Years of being beat on for my family must have just hardened me up.
He'll lose the show and the Conservative will be be pegged racists for it. That's just the way it is.
I don't think he should lose his show. Definately not. I've heard worse on the radio (by liberals of course). Anyone who pegs all conservatives for racists just because of one man's misspeak has an agenda. BTW, he sounded tired to me and it was the end of the show.
He failed to gracefully pull off an argument that is actually quite difficult rhetorically. It is a point with a number of components, and one or more of the components refer to some great evil. Since the evil is great, it is incumbent upon the speaker to give it commensurate gravity, while tying the whole together.
An example: while debating (defending) the Iraq War, I've tried to expound on the many-faceted evils of Saddam Hussein. It is difficult to strike the right tone - if you try to stay logical and objective then it sounds too bland and bloodless.
Also, the whole art of moral reasoning is in disarray in the present era.
I really like Mornings in America. Part of it is I really wish I could afford to put my kids in K12 Homeschool. That's big bucks!
I want a "Stack O Matic"
I would have to get LPs to play on it though.
It's funny cause I called to ask my sis about it. She said that she heard it and just knew that he was gonna get in trouble for it. She was going to call me but had to run to a meeting for it.
She sent a bunch of new Pollack Jokes and said that if we aborted all the Pollacks, we would have nothing to laugh at!
The heifer!
Make that, "she had to run to a meeting......"
Question, would anyone have gotten on Walter Williams for saying this?....Yes. The same people who no longer like Bill Cosby for saying the things he said. Sad.
Wrong. The book linked abortion to a decline in the crime rate, but race was not mentioned.
"The book linked abortion to a decline in the crime rate, but race was not mentioned."
Ok, I misunderstood. He did use a poor choice of words but still just as he said blacks, he could have said hispanic or white.
Not said in all this is that while blacks are 18% of the population, they are about 50% of prison population. That IS a problem. Of course, it is Bush's fault.
Am I a racist for brining up facts?
No. It is funny that only the Black Caucus and black leaders can discuss race in this country. The Dems bring up the race card only when it suits their political interest. The fact that blacks make up a disproportionate share of the prison population, poverty and welfare rolls, abortions performed(about 35%), and unwed mothers (over 75% born out of wedlock) is only used to reinforce blacks' victimhood. If our society cannot discuss these issues because of political correctness, then they will never be addressed properly. 90% of blacks vote for the Dems. What has it got them?
Actually blacks make up about 13% of the total population. They are the second largest minority.
"They are the second largest minority."
Tell me about it. I am in Arizona.
I was just out there last week. I have an investment property in Scottsdale. Eventually, I would like to live there permanently.
