RADIO TIDBITS

Bill Bennett is trying to defend himself against charges of (at least) racial insensitivity. You can find the transcript of his offensive remarks at MediaMatters but the point of the critics is that race was not part of the issue, abortion was. Bennett brought race into the issue.

As I have noted previously on this blog, conservatives have a very poor track record on race relations. And the Chairman of the RNC can't even get simple facts correct:

MEHLMAN: "The NAACP unfortunately in the 2000 campaign likened the president to James Byrd, who was a racist killer in east Texas, who the president brought to justice."

James Byrd was the victim, not one of the killers!
