…and I didn’t even get a T-shirt, but I am satisfied with the results: Google Search: abort william bennett. If you don’t know what I’m refering to, William Bennett (former secretary of education for President Ronald Reagan) will be eating crow for a long while because of recent remarks he made on his radio show. I found them at American Politics Journal where Jeff Koopersmith quoted how ABC News summed up Bennett’s remarks:

On the Wednesday edition of his radio show, “Bill Bennett’s Morning in America,” syndicated by Salem Radio Network, a caller raised the theory that Social Security is in danger of becoming insolvent because legalized abortion has reduced the number of taxpaying citizens. Bennett said economic arguments should never be employed in discussions of moral issues.

“If it were your sole purpose to reduce crime,” Bennett said, “You could abort every black baby in this country, and your crime rate would go down.”… “That would be an impossible, ridiculous and morally reprehensible thing to do, but your crime rate would go down,” he added.”

If you are capable of saying something like this without realizing how wrong it is before it comes out of your mouth, I think you have no moral credibility. Not only are you racist, but you don’t know you are racist. How do you come up with an example like that without believing that there is a shred of truth to it? How, Bill!? How!??!?!!

Seriously, how? Maybe he’s just gifted…
