Santorum On Obama & Abortion-'Almost Remarkable For A Black Man' To Say We Can Decide Who's A Person

[jenmito]

Potential 2012 presidential candidate and former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA) doesn't understand how President Obama could not answer whether a "human life" is protected by the Constitution from the moment of conception: "The question is -- and this is what Barack Obama didn't want to answer -- is that human life a person under the Constitution? And Barack Obama says no. Well if that person -- human life is not a person, then -- I find it almost remarkable for a black man to say, 'we're going to decide who are people and who are not people.'

UNBELIEVABLE! (This was just reported on MSNBC. They played video of Santorum saying this in a CNS interview.) Video at link.

1. Holy Shit

Okay, I've decided Rick Santorum is NOT a person. He is some form of Slime Mold.

2. Fuck you "Man On Dog"

[jenmito]

3. I was just gonna say, "Remember, this is Rick "man on dog" Santorum. n/t

4. What gives Santorum, a white man, the right to question Obama's response "as a black man"?

I find damn remarkable (not almost) that Santorum thinks it is appropriate for him to question Obama's "blackness."

7. Santorum feels superior. Afterall, it's probable that his family

used to OWN Black people.

5. Well, to be a person, one has to have a working brain -- unlike a fetus until after about 22 weeks.

On the other hand, since a working brain is the necessity, I have doubts about Santorum's personhood. ;-)

6. He remains an embarrassment to Pennsylvanians

I thought we might have been rid of him.....hopefully this ends it.

[yellowcanine]

10. No way, as a native Pennsylvanian, I take no blame for Ricky S. Let the people who actually voted

for him be embarrassed. Not me. Never.

8. the nerve of that 3/5ths of a President

i'm outraged!

[Zoeisright]

9. That was decided by the Supreme Court, you fucking moron.

In the Constitution a "person" is defined as "someone who has been born". That doesn't apply to embryos or fetuses.

God, he's just a total douchebag.

[jenmito]

11. I wish someone would tell him that. Isn't he supposed to be one of those

"pro-Constitution" RWers/extremists? Talk about ignorant...

[and-justice-for-all]

12. I think someones abortion decision is none of his fucking business..nt

13. Crawl back into your hole, Santorum n/t

[tanyev]

14. Because only white male property owners get to decide who is a person?
