In case anyone's forgotten Bill Bennett gambling hypocrite said this about black people.
BENNETT: Well, I don't think it is either,... But I do know that it's true that if you wanted to reduce crime, 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.

1. The first part of that is true...
The part where he says "Well, I don't think." After that, he's a typical Republican racist scumbag.

2. I guess it all depends what one means by "crime rate" . Forced abortions are a crime also.

Would CORPORATE crime go down?

5. Yes, as would the Republican base. Where do you think College Repubs come from?
