Satire Not Welcome

Conservative talk-show host Bill Bennett Wednesday made the Swiftian remark, "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."

But unlike when "A Modest Proposal" was published, it was the left that was indignant.

And rightfully so. Doesn't Bennett realize that only the left may use satire?
