Remember Rick Santorum? The far-right Pennsylvania senator who lost re-election by 19 points? Santorum now thinks he should be president -- yes, of the United States -- and is touting his vision to the Republican Party's base.

To that end, Santorum sat down with right-wing media personality Terry Jeffrey yesterday, and among other things, suggested it's outrageous for African Americans, including President Obama, to be pro-choice.

Every biologist in the world, Santorum said, would agree that a fertilized human egg is "a human life." Putting aside the dubious qualities of the observation, the former senator added, "The question is -- and this is what Barack Obama didn't want to answer -- is that, 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, 'No, we're going to decide who are people and who are not people.'"

Mr. Santorum is guilty of an extreme excessive hyperbole.

There is a connection between the abortion argument and blacks, but that has more to do with the historical racism behind the abortion movement.

Still, that invokes using emotion over reason and should not be used to persuade anyone.

Santorum is right on this one guys. Only someone beholden to the agenda of a global power elite or other individuals who believe in negative eugenics.

Rick Santorum is a blathering idiot who is not fit to serve as a dog catcher. But due to propoganda, he served as a US Senator for 12 years.

I love the "propoganda" line but it helps to spell the word correctly, "blathering idiot."

And don't forget his two terms in the House!

If he were serious he would have said that he stole the elections with the help of ACORN.

Oh just stop it. I know you like the guy (I'll never understand why.), but it's pretty clear he's not a suitable candidate to run anything of importance.

Because he doesn't like the content, most likely.

And why shouldn't he run for anything of importance? Because you don't like him/understand why anyone does like him. It's totally subjective.

Because it's Franzl getting on board with the "mainstream." He sees a "controversial" headline and responds accordingly. Have you ever noticed a time when Franzl isn't taking the perfectly middle-of-the-road stance on something?

So disagreeing with Man on Dog when life actually starts is the same as thinking blacks are 3/5 of a person??

Then you either lack reading comprehension, aren't paying attention, or just like throwing a tantrum.

I don't particularly care which.

This is especially amusing considering your problems in another thread right now.
