Bennett's toast. Next.
I suspect that this is not how AP is going to report this. Providing factual and reasonable context for Democratic braying is not what the AP is about. Happily, newsmax can be counted upon to remember.
It often looks, however, like AP staffers were in the back of Wayne and Garth's car. That's the downside of 'living in the Now'.
If anything, Bill Bennett is soft-peddling here. It is far more likely that a young woman was drowned intentionally because Ted Kennedy knocked her up. He certainly had his case handled quite differently than Bill Janklow, who killed a motorcycle driver by negligent driving, resigned from congress in disgrace and spent some time in the slammer.
How could he be toast...he holds no public job. Besides, everyone who has read his entire comments knows he is exactly correct. I think the days of the politically correct MSM and Dems are over. They are now being forced to back-track on Katrina exagerations (especially in light of the news about the NO police department), and it looks like the same will happen vis-a-vis Tom DeLay. They already had to pull their ads and talking points about John Roberts, and of course who can forget both the Wellstone memorial and Rathergate. No, I would say Bill Bennitt will do just fine as long as all on the 'Right Side" are not intimidated by the idiots on MSMBC and the rest.
I agree, he was just stating statistical facts.
Lately everything has become about race.
OUCH is right. OY
he is correct and he holds no political job. Is Bill Bennet going to lose a job a Sec. of Education? /sarcasm
Maybe. But at least he's fighting back, instead of running with his tail between his legs.
Good for Bennett for not buckling. He was talking about abortion rationalizations, not the black race per se. Duh.
Good for NewsMax for contextualizing these remarks. This is the sort of thing the MSM always does when quoting conservatives, but never does when quoting Approved Liberals.
It should go both ways, or neither.

Bennett runs a thoughtful give and take show. This morning he has put out an open invitation to anyone who wants to debate this. (Pelosi, Kennedy, Jesse Jackson etc)

Fact
According to the Alan Guttmacher Institute, black women are more than 3 times as likely as white women to have an abortion
It is about time a Republican punched back and defended himself!! I hope all the others take note.
As far as apologizing, since when can public officials "demand" anything of a private citizen? They would do better to police their own. I am sick and tired of ALL our politicians' behavior or lack thereof!
Can I demand an apology?

I agree. Where is the outcry for the remarks by Calypso Louie? Where is the demand fro an apology from Rangle for his Bull Connor remarks?
The fact of differential and blatantly unfair responses by the MSM and the Left do not invalidate the correctness of Bennett's remarks. The Lott matter, where the rational Right ran away and hid from the hypocrites was a disgrace IMO and only reinforced the effectiveness of the Left's hypocrisy and race baiting.
Since abortion is considered murder.. ALL people, regardless of race, who expect to be on the government dole past a set deadline should submit to voluntary sterilization if they expect their monthly checks to continue.
THAT is the only humane way to decrease crime and poverty.
Now who's got the cajones to publicly suggest this?
