Rick Santorum Is a Goddamn Moron

Yesterday, one of the greatest leaders in history passed away at the age of 95. With his death came an outpouring of sympathy from all corners of the world. Indeed, even those who likely did not agree with him saw fit to mourn his passing with grace. (The only time Cruz will ever do anything with grace, I imagine.) It would seem that the world was, if only for a moment, united in its grief over the loss of this great man. But last night, as per the usual, Fox News (with the help of Rick Santorum) managed to fuck up even this.

In a segment on the O'Reilly Factor, a show known for its fair and balanced coverage of shit it makes up, Bill O'Reilly interviewed Rick Santorum and used Mandela's death to illustrate how people from different fundamental viewpoints can get along, citing Mandela as a communist that still deserved respect. Now, let's get one thing clear from the get-go: Nelson Mandela was not a fucking communist! He implemented socialist reform within South Africa, but that does not equate to communism. That's like saying that because we have "elections" we must be a democracy. Which, as anyone who has taken a high school history course knows, is false. But, that aside, nothing can top the skeevy, shithead response that saw fit to dribble out of the aptly-named Santorum's mouth. Just watch.

Comparing the struggle against apartheid to the "struggle" against Obamacare is not only fucking stupid, but insulting to any South African that lived under that hell and just plain insulting to any rational human with a conscience. Rick Santorum, you are a goddamn moron and I am surprised that you can remember to breathe. Just when we all thought that he couldn't get any worse, he goes and says that shit.

"And while we're on the topic of struggle, we need to address this war on Christmas!"

Look, you don't have to like Nelson Mandela (though you should) and you don't have to like Obamacare. But don't even dare to compare a racial struggle with your temper tantrum over liberal legislation being passed in your precious God-fearing America. I can't even.
