Freedom of speech in this country - according to the liberals - is conditional...
That's right...CONDITIONAL...
If you are a Left-Wing-Anti-America-Hate-Spewing-Liberal...you can say ANYTHING, and the MSM, the DNC, the Liberals will rally around you:
DNC Stands By Rangel After 'Hate Speech'...
The Democratic National Committee yesterday REFUSED TO DISTANCE ITSELF from Rep. Charles Rangel's comparison of President Bush to an infamous Southern segregationist, Theophilus "Bull" Connor, remarks the Republican National Committee identified as "hate speech" and urged the DNC to repudiate....
But, if you are a CONSERVATIVE...WATCH OUT!
ANYTHING YOU SAY WILL BE TAKEN OUT OF CONTEXT AND USED TO SMEAR YOU AND DESTROY YOU...
Take Bill Bennett, for example...
As Rush Limbaugh - and many others - are pointing out, the discussion that Bennett is being so widely criticized and slimed for has been taken COMPLETELY OUT OF CONTEXT....
Rather than say, as he has been erroneously and inaccurately MIS-quoted, "[Y]ou Could Abort Every Black Baby In This Country, And Your Crime Rate Would Go Down"...
What he SAID was:
BENNETT: Assuming they're all productive citizens?
CALLER: Assuming that they are. Even if only a portion of them were, it would be an enormous amount of revenue.
BENNETT: Maybe. Maybe. But we don't know what the cost would be, too. I think -- does abortion disproportionately occur among single women?
CALLER: Uhhh...
BENNETT: Do you know?
CALLER: I don't know the exact statistics but quite a bit are, yes.
BENNETT: All right. Well, I mean, I just don't know. I would not argue for the pro-life position based on this because you don't know. I mean, it cuts both -- you know, one of the arguments in this book, Freakanomics, is that they make is that the declining crime rate -- you know, they deal with this hypothesis that one of the reasons that crime is down is that abortion is up. Well --
CALLER: I don't think that statistic is accurate.
BENNETT: Well, I don't think so it is either.
CALLER: Yeah.
BENNETT: I don't think it is either because, first of all, I think there's just too much that you don't know. 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.
He was DISPUTING the very statement that was made by SOMEONE ELSE...and they are trying to hang it on him....and they are smearing him with it...
