Star Parker Does the Freak

In defending Bill Bennett -- and chastising those who allegedly take statements out of context -- Clownhall.com's Star Parker smears the authors of Freakonomics. Parker writes:

So we have it with the recent almost-too-ridiculous-to-discuss incident with Bill Bennett's alleged racist remarks on his radio show. The remarks, taken out of context by those attacking Bennett, are being used to make the exact opposite point of his and brand him a racist.

A listener called in suggesting that abortion might be an explanation for our Social Security crisis (with more adults around paying Social Security taxes, we wouldn't be in the mess we're in). Bennett replied that such a hypothesis is as absurd and repugnant as the suggestion made in a best-selling book called "Freakonomics" that aborting more black babies would lead to a lower crime rate. (Emphasis added.)

You see, it wasn't Bill Bennett who made the repugnant suggestion that aborting African-Americans would lower the crime rate, it was Steven Leavitt and Stephen Dubner.

Except it wasn't.

And not even Andrew "Dice" Bennett claimed it was.

Star, ask yourself, when you write, do you truly know what you're talking about? Are you just pulling stuff out of your ass? Did you even read the fucking transcript or were you just kissing Bill Bennett's ass to advance your own worthless career? How many of us casually slander someone just because they can't be bothered with reading, or thinking, or the truth?

Parker also sucks up to Bill Bennett's wife, for her supposed charitable work with the Best Friends Foundation, which runs abstinence "programs for teenagers, largely black." You may recall that the Foundation's true colors were displayed most prominently when Bill O'Reilly, hosting a Foundation fundraiser, quipped that he hoped the Foundation's alleged beneficiaries "[were] not in the parking lot stealing our hubcaps."

Bill and Bill think alike.
