he's no longer a politician, and you just made the point he was making.

To: Deb
LOL. Don't blame me the people in the WH make comments to questions where they have no idea what the real context of story is. That in itself is cause for great alarm. And have they apoligized to Bennett yet?
Oh, and lay off the coffee Deb. It's showing.

Foot-in-mouth disease...should have thougt through his statements better.What he said was true. The MSM and the PC Thought Police have gone out of their way to take the comment (incomplete I might add), twist it into an issue and run with it.

What's wrong with it? The fact he said "black babies" as opposed to "white babies" and the fact he said "abortion is wrong" as opposed to "abortion is right"?

It took nearly two full days before someone told the usefull idiots to be outraged.Hopefully it will be about five days before the usual suspects get bored and move on. Elsewhere on FR, it has been described as a phony "outrage" - phony it is.
P.S. With the wonderful fall colours about to descend in your part of the world, one can temporarily forget about the picayune ravings of the MSM. I hope to see much of it myself, natures therapy. LOL

"Iwan is wight next to Iwaq." Heh heh..that's funny! I don't see how it was offensive; I think I would have laughed at the human resource scolding. How absurd!

They are after Bill again, and Karl, and Tom, and George and whoever else they can smear by innuendo and outright lies with the help of the MSM of course. My heart goes out to Bill who has already endured a smear campaign from these Marxist jerks.

So why did B use them in his example of an outrageous and completely hypothetical abortion proposal that he would never embrace?Why did some left-winged website take his comment out of context? As they are known to do with Rush. That's the crux of the problem. Not something Bill Bennett said on a radio show.

Bennett got a bum rap, but he was clumsy with words, which surprisely he often is. It would have better if he had said that there is some evidence that those who are aborted are from disadvantaged backgrounds, and those have a higher incidence of crime, but to suggest that the mere odds that a fetus will someday be more likely to commit a crime, should be a death sentence, is ludicrous.

That's what he said. But you wouldn't know that by reading some left-winged website or paying full attention to the MSM, because they conveniently omitted that part of his comment out, and only focused on the "aborting black babies" part of the quote.

I understand. There actually is a well regarded study coming out of Stanford, and some other professor, that sugggested that the crime rate dropped first vis a vis the other states in the four states that legalized abortion pre Roe when the aborted fetuses would have otherwise hit the crime age, California (Reagan signed that law), New York, and two other states. That is the study so many of of the media picked up on years later. I posted the actual paper on this site years ago.

It's a more complex issue than most people believe it is. Tie both the crime rate and abortion to "immorality", because that's what both are, immoral acts.

Well, Margaret Sanger is an idiot that probably didn't even listen to the show.

I didn't hear much of the program, so I'm not sure if Rush said anything about McClellan's statement.
I'm not sure why McClellan put the President right in the middle of this if he didn't have to. Had the press been hounding him for a response from the President prior to this press conference? If not, why not let the story cool and release a statement later?
There is also the possibility that McClellan said exactly what President Bush thought, and what he wanted said.
