Great. Just when I finally thought of a good, non-sexual caption for that Cindy Sheehan arrest photo, this William Bennet thing seems to actually be getting some traction. Dragging this thing out dosen't sound to me like something that would be very productive for the Left. Bennet seems to really unduly get under their skin - To get this radio show host who's unlikely to ever run for office in the future, they're apparently willing to call attention to the reason why abortion was legalized to begin with, and remind everyone of their paranoid tendencies and difficulties with basic comprehension.

(Insert caveat calling Bennet hypocritical for saying that Judeo-Christian morality is a good thing even though he gambles, which is such an immoral act that God was too embarassed to even include anything in the Bible against it. Archconservative firebrand distanced; Independent Moderate Status secured.)

Make a reductio ad absurdum arguement, and it WILL be misconstrued (one of the sites that came up when I googled the term even defines reductio ad absurdum as a form of the slippery slope fallacy (scroll down for the fallacious use of the slippery slope)). You then really ought to clarify and defend your statements, unless you are Vox Day and sexually get off on being misconstrued. You probably shouldn't attempt such an argument if you're ever planning on running for office, but if even mere radio show hosts are afraid to do so, absurd premises will continue to go unchallanged and be accepted as a basis of public policy.
