Well yeah, condemning that would probably be a good move.

This seems a reference to freakonomics.

It tried to be, except at Levitt noted in his blog about the incident, race is not a part of it! Bennett stuck that little gem in there all by himself.

This is dumb, I was listening to Bennet at the time and he was quoting a theory from a book for the purpose of rejecting it.

I mean, we can't say anything anymore. This is truely stupid, I listened to the whole audio of that day, and was suprised to hear the backlash.

So Mr. Usurper - instead of quoting what the liberals want you to quote, maybe you should the whole text - there was a fairly important pre and post to that statement that if you take out, it sounds racist (which you and the libs have done).

Bennett is an excellent talk show host.

Actually, you put that back in, it still sounds racist. See the above note linking to diectly to Levitt who never used race as part of his idea. The race card was something Bennett tossed in. Oops.
