I still don't understand what part of what he said was wrong?

Those who criticize Bennett seem to fall into two groups.

The first and least honest group says that Bennett advocated aborting black babies to reduce crime. It is obvious to anyone who reads Bennett's remark in context that he didn't say that.

The second group says that Bennett was associating blacks as a group with criminality. This is true enough, and is grounded in fact: blacks commit crimes at a far higher rate than the general population. However, this is a politically incorrect fact that liberals insist not be mentioned, and Bennett mentioned it.

For Bush to leave Bennett twisting in the wind over this was very wrong.

There is a third group, people who think the Virtuous Slot machine player is a buffoon. I can't believe anyone would defend this guy. Because he is what? a REPUBLICAN? Since the left spits out garbage the right should be able to do the same? Thats no way to reach higher ground now is it?

What a stupid thing to say, I guess he gets a bit more spotlight before he retires down to Alantic City.

I can list a thousand things that are true that should not be said during a broadcast.
