The Bennett libel divides the decent left from the indecent left
Oct 4, 2005
by Dennis Prager

A few years ago, when Hillary Clinton was attacked as anti-Semitic, I wrote a piece for The Wall Street Journal defending her against the charge. As a Jew, an author of a book on anti-Semitism and a conservative talk show host, I had credibility to do so.

It is time now for people with integrity on the Left -- and liberal opinion pages -- to show their integrity and defend Bill Bennett against the libel of being a racist who advocated the abortion of all black babies.

For make no mistake: This is as pure a character issue as one can imagine. Bill Bennett is not a racist and said nothing that even remotely came close to advocating the abortion of all black babies. This is the dividing line between the decent and the indecent on the Left. The indecent make these charges; the decent will defend him against them. It's as simple as that.

Click for the rest.
I got to admit when i first heard his supposed remarks i got angry. I didn't know who he was or what his show was about. I figured he was another liberal crackhead. It took me two day to figure out the real story. Or after i read a transcript(didn't get a link). Now to hear all the stories worldwide about it, it's comical if it weren't so dangerous. I used to think the MSM used to take responcibility for such things but they obviously think they can change the story any way they see fit. To fit there agenda. You ask them they will say the are patriots, support our troops, all the hogwash to throw us off the trail. And in secret conspire and fester there hatred for people who don't want or need there help. Fascists suck!

@Drnaline,
His statement was about as intelligent as Howard Dean yelping like a madman at a rally.

However, I do not think that he is racist or that he promotes the abortion of black babies. I think he was making a factual statement that the political bulldogs have latched onto and are trying to destroy his character with.

@Drnaline,
Mr. Bennet was out of his mind to make the statements he made - even if made as a hypothetical to make a point . He should take the consequences .

@Drnaline,
I don't think his career and character should be destroyed. I do think his comment was out of line, but still factually correct. I can't prove it, because nobody has aborted all the black babies in a society to my knowledge, but it makes sense that if blacks commit more crimes than others, if there are no more blacks for a generation, then crime would go down.
