When William Bennett said "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 claims he meant for it as a far-fetched argument against a book that argued an increase in abortions could reduce the crime rate.

Well, maybe if you didn't start out by saying "I do know that it's true" you could have emphasized that this was a hypothetical argument instead of letting the media interpret your statement and making you look like a racist. Idiot.
