I am confused- when it came to that comment by Bill Bennett you refused to even consider the context in your comments- you did not question anything other than that you considered it racist in tone.

So, are there some things you don't bother to question?

Well, it was pretty self evident that it had a racial tone, and, after some initial questioning examination of further evidence I determined that the context of the comments didn't change the racial tone of what was said. In my observation, it was a worst racist and at best poor judgement.

So, I believe there was a healthy amount of questioning going on. You may not be privy to all of it, but I don't always think outloud.
