Bill Bennett: "[Y]ou could abort every black baby in this country, and your crime rate would go down"


Before Bill Bennett was unmasked as a compulsive gambling addict he was widely considered the GOP's point man on morality. Now he is less widely considered that but still beloved by the True Believers on the extreme fringes of the neo-Nazi right. Over a million people listen to his hate-filled talk show on one of the Bush propaganda networks, Salem Radio's BILL BENNETT'S MORNING IN AMERICA. The America Bennett pushes, though, is a very different America from the real one we live in. His is firmly rooted in some kind of distorted dream/nightmare from the 1950's. Any KKK member from those glory days of Republicanism would feel right at home. Today Media Matters caught Bennett in one of his hate-filled screeds.

"Addressing a caller's suggestion that the 'lost revenue from the people who have been aborted in the last 30 years' would be enough to preserve Social Security's solvency, radio host and former Reagan administration Secretary of Education Bill Bennett dismissed such 'far-reaching, extensive extrapolations' by declaring that if 'you wanted to reduce crime ... if that were your sole purpose, you could abort every black baby in this country, and your crime rate would go down.' Bennett conceded that aborting all African-American babies 'would be an impossible, ridiculous, and morally reprehensible thing to do,' then added again, 'but the crime rate would go down.'"

What's in these people's hearts?
