Yeah…no.
For the record? I think the massive rush by the right to defend Bill Bennet’s blatantly stupid remarks is pathetic. He never should have said what he said, and once it came out of his mouth he should have said “Ok, sorry, I was being a dick and I thought I could make the hypothetical work. It was a stupid thing to say. Sorry.”
Instead we’re in another “Republicans circle the wagons” bullshit defense mode again. It’s crap. I’m glad that for once, Bush is not leading the wagon train. What Bill Bennett said wasn’t helpful in furthering any debate on race or crime, it was simply asinine in any context. Not even the author of the book Bennett was trying to use as a basis for his argument agrees with his statement. Race is not the component. Poverty is.
Give it up, Righties. You’re wrong on this one.
