Rick Santorum invokes Obama’s race in abortion debate
Rick Santorum says President Obama should be against abortion because Obama is black.
The Republican ex-senator, who is exploring a possible 2012 presidential bid, made the comments interview with CNSNews.com's Terry Jeffrey.
"The question is -- and this is what Barack Obama didn't want to answer: Is that human life a person under the Constitution? And Barack Obama says no," Santorum says in the interview, which was first picked up by CBN's David Brody. "Well if that person, human life is not a person, then, I find it almost remarkable for a black man to say, 'We are going to decide who are people and who are not people.'"
Exactly!
Santorum was referring to Obama's comments at a 2008 forum with Pastor Rick Warren in which he said the question of whether a baby should have human rights was "above my pay grade." Obama later said his remark was too flip, but "I don't presume to be able to answer these kinds of theological questions."
Santorum took Obama to task for his position.
"Just about everything else in the world he's willing to do -- have the government do -- but he can't answer that basic question which is not a debatable issue at all," Santorum told Jeffrey. "I don't think you'll find a biologist in the world who will say that is not a human life."
The Atlantic's Garance Franke-Ruta points out that anti-abortion activists have raised the race issue before -- for example, seeing an "equivalent denial of personhood for two different categories of human beings, slaves and unborn children."
Don't ever forget that a disproportionate number of murdered kids are black. And Planned Parenthood was created to cut down the number of blacks in this country.
In a statement to CBN's Brody, Santorum stood behind his comment, says he's "disappointed that President Obama, who rightfully fights for civil rights, refuses to recognize the civil rights of the unborn in this country."
Where are the sweeps of Russian mobsters? What about the Triads and the Yakuza? What about all those vile Jewish gangsters on Wall Street who are continuing to make Dumbo the Presiphant sweat his reelection by refusing to create jobs and taxable income?

FBI whacks mob with 127 arrests
Some of the crimes linked to the suspects date back 30 years, including a barroom quarrel over a spilled drink that led to a double murder. U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, flanked by local, state and federal officials, said more than 800 law enforcement agents were involved in the arrests, which began as many suspects were sleeping in their homes in New York, New Jersey and Rhode Island. One suspect was arrested in Italy. A total of 16 indictments encompassing hundreds of charges were unsealed.
Holder described some of the crimes as “classic mob hits” to get rid of perceived rivals, and standard mob activities such as racketeering and illegal gambling. “Others involve truly senseless murders,” Holder said, referring to the 1981 shooting at the Shamrock Bar in Queens as an example. The U.S. attorney’s office said that two men were killed after getting into an argument with an associate of the Gambino crime family over a spilled drink.
Wow, he's a regular Untouchable. What if members of the Sons Of Italy had scared black folks away from a Philly polling place? This clown would have called in Lon Horiuchi's Death Squad immediately.
“Our goal is to eradicate these folks as menaces to this nation,” said Holder, who said the mob’s ability to undermine local economies through loan-sharking and extortion of legitimate business owners was as much a threat as its use of violence. “It is an ongoing threat, a major threat, to the economic well-being of our nation,” he said.
No, dumbass. Getting shot in the back of the head and dumped in a landfill is worse.1) The guys who set the lines are professionals. Their job is to make each game look as attractive as possible to everyone. That way they even out the amount of money bet on each side.
Instant translation: The house wins no matter who wins. That's why people get into the gambling business.
2) I am just a fan. I won't even keep track of these picks week to week if it gets too embarrassing.
3) There is no such thing as "inside information". Especially in the pros.
4) If those idiot touts on tv and in the paper were any good, they wouldn't go public with their genius. They'd sit at Harrah's sports book from open to close and then go out and buy $2,000 an hour hookers who dress like high school girls.
5) Gambling is stupid. You cannot win.
That being said, here are my NFL picks for this week.
Sunday 1/23
Green Bay (-3 1/2) at Chicago
I can't take a Jay Cutler quarterbacked team over an Aaron Rodgers quarterbacked team in a big game, although the Bears defense has played well against Rodgers lately. I'll pick the Packers but I won't be surprised if the Bears cover or win outright.
FINAL: Packers 21 Bears 14 - Fyodor wins! (I don't know if Cutler's knee was injured or not. I do know I don't want him on my team.)
NY Jets (+3 1/2) at Pittsburgh
Take the Steelers over the most overrated QB in the league and the team that must tell everyone how tough they are at the top of their lungs because their mediocrity haunts their dreams.
FINAL: Steelers 24 Jets 19 - Fyodor wins! (Winners know how to win, even if they only play about half the game. Losers just lose.)

NFL to charge people $200 to stand outside Super Bowl stadium
For one-third the price of a regular ticket, NFL fans will be able to stand outside Cowboys Stadium and act like they are attending the Super Bowl XLV. The league announced on Wednesday that tickets to watch the game on large HD video screens on the east side of the stadium will cost $200.
They're calling it the "party plaza," because what's more of a party than spending two bills to go through a security line for the right to sit on a grassy knoll, pay $9 for a beer and watch a game that's freely available on television?
[Related: How Super Bowl ticket prices compare to other sports]
Tickets will first be offered to Cowboys season-ticket holders who will have to buy in blocks of four. The $800 will cover four tickets to watch the game, four programs, four scarves and a parking pass. Scarves? For that price, they better be Burberry.
"We've never done this before," NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy told ESPN Dallas of the league's plan to price-gouge folks who want to attend the Super Bowl without actually attending the Super Bowl.
[Related: Worst cities to be a sports fan]
Besides additional revenue, the biggest upside for the Cowboys is that those buying tickets to the party plaza will count toward the game's official attendance. Jerry Jones has expressed a desire to break the Super Bowl record for biggest crowd, which was set in 1980 when 103,985 attended the game at the Rose Bowl.
How people standing outside a stadium counts as attendance is beyond me. If you're standing next to an unplugged TV, does that mean you'll be tallied in the Nielsen ratings?
Myron Cope left us in 2008. He was the perfect antidote for bland talking head broadcasters. It would be silly for the Steelers to try to win another Super Bowl for a dead radio guy, wouldn't it?

PA abortion doctor charged with 8 counts of murder
PHILADELPHIA – An abortion doctor who catered to minorities, immigrants and poor women [Well, they've got to get rid of those wogs some how. - F.G.] was charged with eight counts of murder in the deaths of a patient and seven babies who were born alive and then killed with scissors, prosecutors said Wednesday.
That's just partial birth abortion, isn't it? Since when is that illegal?
Dr. Kermit Gosnell, 69, made millions of dollars over 30 years, [$$$$$$$$!] performing as many illegal, late-term abortions as he could, prosecutors said. State regulators ignored complaints about him and failed to visit or inspect his clinic since 1993, but no charges were warranted against them, District Attorney Seth Williams said.
Totalitarian Pennsylvania strikes again! I guess we can't expect them to enforce all the laws, can we? Especially the ones that might keep some of those vile fetuses alive...
Gosnell "induced labor, forced the live birth of viable babies in the sixth, seventh, eighth month of pregnancy and then killed those babies by cutting into the back of the neck with scissors and severing their spinal cord," Williams said.
This is the current definition of "humanitarian", kiddies. Compassionate liberals know it is better that those things be butchered rather than grow up poor and black.
[When I use the word "butchered", that is obviously hyperbole. If cattle or pigs or chickens were treated like that, the compassionate liberals would fire-bomb every meatpacking plant to the ground.]
Williams said patients were subjected to squalid and barbaric conditions at Gosnell's Women's Medical Society.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Women's Medical Society! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Authorities went to investigate drug-related complaints at the clinic last year and stumbled on what Williams called a "house of horrors."
"There were bags and bottles holding aborted fetuses were scattered throughout the building," Williams said. "There were jars, lining shelves, with severed feet that he kept for no medical purpose."
I'll bet they wouldn't ever let Wes Craven make that movie.
The clinic was shut down and Gosnell's medical license was suspended after the raid.
Workers, some of whom were also charged with murder, were untrained and unlicensed, including a high-school student who performed anesthesia with potentially lethal narcotics, Williams said.
Gosnell and nine other employees are in custody, authorities said.
Gosnell has been named in at least 10 malpractice suits, including one over the death of a woman who died of sepsis and a perforated uterus.
May God have mercy on our souls.
The greatest football mind of all time just got out-coached by a fat, gimpy, loud-mouthed foot-fetishist.
