And, we know that Billybob is no fan of abortion, so it follows that he is not one for the murder of twenty-four year old people. However, I am ?deeply troubled? by the ?enthusiasm? for killing ghetto residents below the age of twenty-four. Billybob, I implore you to refrain from epithets of any sort, racist or otherwise, even as a joke. We are debating abortion, not making provocative statements about race.

Does Barbara Boxer know a lot of ghetto dwellers?
