"Nelson Mandela stood up against a great injustice and was willing to pay a huge price for that, and that’s the reason he is mourned today, because of that struggle that he performed…and 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 people’s lives, and Obamacare is front and center in that."
Because affordable health care policy is just like apartheid.
Even if you despise Obamacare, comparing it to apartheid and implying that the policies of the nation's first African-American president are even remotely equivalent to strict racial segregation laws of South Africa is pure demagoguery on multiple levels.
You can, Mr. Santorum, make that argument. You can also look like a complete asshole. America lets you do both. What a country!
