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.
It is obvious that you don’t like Bennett. I like him better than you do, but he preaches, and I don’t enjoy being preached at except by people I strongly respect. I have heard about Bennett’s gambling problems, but it’s his money.
I can't believe anyone would defend this guy. Because he is what? a REPUBLICAN?
No, that’s not it. I criticized (Republican) Bush in the same post. I defended Bennett because he was falsely accused. I just don't like false accusation, and I am especially fed up with Democrats falsely accusing Republicans of racism.
Since the left spits out garbage the right should be able to do the same?
Garbage is garbage, ours or theirs. This time, it is the accusations against Bennett that are garbage. After.over 20 years in the public eye, after all his books and speeches and television appearances, it is obvious that Bennett does not promote racism, and is not a racist. One ambiguous sentence, and now he’s Bull Connor? That is so dishonest it is barely worth refuting.
Thats no way to reach higher ground now is it?
It is impossible to reach higher ground if one side tries relentlessly to drag the other back into the swamp, given the slightest excuse. I am sick of political correctness that makes people fearfully tip-toe around racial issues. Oh, someone might be offended!!! Screw it. How do you expect to make progress without open communication? How do you expect to have open communication when one side can get away with pulling a stunt like this, taking Bennett’s words out of context manufacturing a scandal out of thin air?

Since you must know that Bennett was not advocating aborting blacks, I guess you must mean that he should not have implied that the black crime rate was higher than the national average. Why not? It is common knowledge, and it was relevant to his subject. It is also common knowledge that most blacks are not criminals. If Bennett continually harped on the high black crime rate, you would have a point, but he does not do that.
