Bennet and the EASY way out

It has been interesting over the last couple of days to watch the reaction of the confirmed LEFT and the comments by Bill Bennett regarding hypothesis by a caller to his "Morning in America" radio show.

It appears inside the beltway it is easier to listen to rumor and polls than what actually happened. Bennett took his last caller of the morning who hypothesized that is America had not legalized abortion, there would be enough citizens to offset the use of the social security system. He said that the boomer generation is 30 Million folks larger than the X generation. Exponentially larger numbers of children have been aborted since 1972.

Bennett in his usual academic way floated out a hypothosis in a book called Freakenomics which discussed crime and the Black community. Under the book's premise, if all of the black children since abortion became legal were aborted, the book says there would be no crime. It is a premise Bennett said was morally reprehensible and unrealistic, still the Dems jumped at the chance to take the quote out of context and burn the former Reagan staff member. Alan Combs the Liberal on Fox News lambasted Bennett on his syndicated radio show in such a way that the relationship between the two may never be healed.

What is more disturbing, is the Bush White House did nto do ANY research and condemned the statement as well. If they listened to the statement bennett made, they would agree with it.

Is everything in America so partisaned that there is no chance for common debate? Has political correctness overtaken common sense and common debate?

It is simply wrong. Bennett probably could have chosen better words, but he is no bigot. He is an intellectual with good ideas and he is going to be injured for no reason. It sickens me.
