...would discourage African-Americans from reproducing and thus constitute an effective anti-crime program?” And, finally, what if a similar argument was made with regard to the Jewish people?

"Democratic offices have been vandalized. Please chip in $5 or more to defend health reform - and those in Congress who fought to make it possible." Though both parties saw significant fundraising bumps from the passage of the bill, the Democratic National Committee raised $2 million more than its GOP counterpart...
