Rick Santorum Says Barack Obama Should be Pro-Life Because He is Black

As previously stated, Holy Fuck!

1. What a waste of time, money and energy for this field of Repubs

Not one of them is electable. The American people are wise enough to see what a group of losers these people are
Some are downright not worthy to be in a campaing for the office of the President of the United States of America.

2. When your wife needed an

abortion you sure felt your wife was the valuable human life over the fetus, didn't you, asshole?

STFU you smug, self righteous POS!!

16. Santorum's abortion

I agree with every thing you say. Why does no one challenge him on that? Are they too delicate and "nice" to bring it up? You can bet if a Democrat's wife had an abortion it would be fair game.

3. He does raise a good point here. Thanks, Rick. The point is that Barack Obama

didn't make any changes as regards to what constitutes a person. The Supreme Court, however, did. This is the biggest danger to the general public. Perhaps Rick could work on that for us. Reverse Citizens United.

4. Stereotypes

Really, Rick? You, an Italian-American are throwing around racist stereotypes to make a point?
I can think of a lot of Italian stereotypes.
For example: Italians in Italy tend to be pro-choice.

5. The thread title is nicely non-sensationalized

but what Santorum said is "I find it almost remarkable for a black man to say now we're gonna decide who are people and who are not people.

That statement is so over the top racist and false that it deserves a sensational title as well as national outrage. Couple this with the statement he made in Iowa today about not wanting to make black people's lives better by giving them other people's money and you have, I would think, enough to throw his ass out of the race and out of the party.

I know racism is one of the fundamental issues for motivating the republican base but Santorum has stepped way over the line of using the standard code, like "welfare reform", to transmit the message.

11. It is so extremely over-the-top racist because

this is what he is implying: He isn't convinced that black people are fully people...or maybe he is personally convinced blacks are people, but yet there is some lingering doubt.

It's like he's saying blacks should know their place, because they're lucky we give blacks the benefit of the doubt and call them people.

This is my interpretation of what ol' frothy-mix Santorum meant. Why else would he say such a thing?

14. That was the title of the youtube vid

Most of the time, I don't change them when I post, the exception being when the title is really unexpository.

6. I am speechless. I have no words to describe this, except some curse words

Jaw-dropping!

9. That's why I didn't post it yesterday.

I didn't know what to say. What kind of introduction can you give something like this?

7. Why is the RW obssessed with black people? Why does he gotta go there everytime?

[AtheistCrusader]

8. Because THE SHERIFF IS A *gong*

Edit: Mel Brooks, in case it doesn't seem familiar.

10. Yeah, I DO remember that... The old west version of wingnuts.

But can't they see how obvious that is?

Are they really that stupid!?!

[AtheistCrusader]

12. I think they are. I think that sort of talk from Santorum is a dog whistle that

they don't think we can hear at all.

15. Black People, Gay People, Women, Immigrants...

The only people who fit into the GOP meme (and I'm no fan of Obama and his party) are rich white men.

13. Wow, and I thought Perry was dumber than a box of rocks

Santorum is dumber than a racist box of rocks.
