Damn, on my iPod. What's the symbols for the popcorn smilie?

(20,600 posts)with a strange emphasis on "black man", is Santorum's racist side showing?
Neoma
(10,039 posts)But you never bring the subject of race into a debate like that. That SHOULD be a no-brainer. But then, he doesn't have a brain...

(50,151 posts)What was once somewhat hidden is now coming into the open, especially with racist, homophobic, misogynist Santorum and the racist, homophobic, antisemitic, misogynist Paul.

(16,834 posts)about him bringing a dead baby home. Most Americans don't know about it, and a significant number of people would be horrified by it. Let them discuss it on The View and Anderson Cooper and show what a nut this guy really is. And throw in some of the sick things he's said about gay people just for good measure.

(16,834 posts)His political career, such as it is, should have been ruined by this long ago. If a liberal had been caught running around with a dead baby, he'd probably still be in an asylum somewhere.

(49,445 posts)I understand the point he was making, in that black Americans were slaves in our fairly recent past and that as slaves, the white people had decided that blacks were property, not people. So that Obama should be more sensitive to the issue.
Of course, the fact that it was WHITE PEOPLE making the decision, and that maybe they should SHUT UP on the issue of deciding who is and isn't a person, never occurred to him.

(82,383 posts)Why is he focusing on the POTUS? The decision on abortion have been made already in the courts.
Pro-lifers are mistaken if they think getting a pro-life President is all they need. They'll have the same "disappointment" as the left does. Merely because a President agrees with you does not mean it is going to happen.
jimlup
(7,968 posts)I think he will say that he meant that "black people have been oppressed and considered 3/4 of a person yadda yadda ... so that he assumes that black people would consider all - even embryos - to be people". But his mistake of involving the presidents race is that his usage - even interpreted in the most favorable way - is actually quite racist as it implies that all black people should oppose abortion but if he wins and this comes up in the General he will be in denial.
