Bill Bennett, Author of 'The Moral Compass'...
On his radio show today, via Media Matters:
But I do know that it's true that if you wanted to reduce crime, you could -- if that were your sole purpose, 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. So these far-out, these far-reaching, extensive extrapolations are, I think, tricky.
This is what you call... evil. It's also a perfect example of the Republican psychosis. It's beyond "impossible, ridiculous, and morally reprehensible" to abort all black babies -- in fact, it's an unthinkable notion. Leave it to Bill to conjure it on the air. But for him to somehow correlate African Americans and the nation's crime rate is almost as evil. This from a man whose party has produced such fine, law-abiding citizens. A party which has given us Abu Ghraib, stock scams, money laundering, corporate cronyism, drug abuse, and on and on and on.

"Compassionate conservative" strikes again! GOP morality guru Bennett seems to indicate a softening on the strict anti-abortion position of his party, as long as it's black women aborting their babies! Now that's outrageously racist even by Republican leadership standards!
