Forum Overview :: Motherfucking News :: Re: Pat Robertson, Bill Bennet, is the right wing getting cocky?

[quote name="Ray of Light"][quote name="Mischief Nazi"]If Bennett <i>was</i> citing the freakonomics hypothesis which, according to this dude, does not include race at all, then the mention of babies being black is a completely unnecessary qualifier. And in my experience in politics, unnecessary qualifiers are a better window into a persons thought process than a freudian slip.[/quote] Oh, I think he did it on purpose. The pro-choice crowd has always suffered from the lack of moral high ground, and Levitt's argument gives them a shot at it. Any claims to abortion being the lesser evil are a direct threat to an abolitionist agenda. By associating the argument with racism, <i>and baiting liberals into huffy condemnation</i>, Bennet taints that entire line of reasoning. [/quote]
