Because, you know - Obamacare is just like apartheid, I shit you not.
Rick Santorum compares Obamacare to apartheid in clumsy Mandela tribute | World news | theguardian.com
I really can't add anything.
Mostly because I'm laughing too hard to type. And the big-assed eyerolls make it difficult to focus.
Nelson Mandela spent 27 years in prison, 18 of them in a small cell on Robben Island, fighting the curse of South African apartheid. Rick Santorum has spent hours in TV studios fighting the curse of millions of poor Americans acquiring healthcare insurance.
The parallels are too obvious to ignore. At least if you are Rick Santorum.
Mandela, he told Fox News within hours of the great mans death, was fighting against some great injustice. I would make the argument that we have a great injustice going on right now in this country with an ever-increasing size of government that is taking over and controlling peoples lives and Obamacare is front and center in that.
For implicitly comparing his own heroic efforts to block Obamacare to Mandelas struggle against minority white rule in South Africa, Santorum was granted by Twitter users the award for most tone-deaf response.
