One of the most ridiculous so-called "debates" appeared on Hannity this week between Santorum and Sharpton, with Hannity contributing his usual inane points along the way. It began as a debate about Santorum's use of the word "black man" in a recent interview concerning the subject of abortion.
Then, both fell into the "3/5 of a person" trap, revealing the ignorance of both about America's founding philosophy and the rationale of the 3/5 designation. Santorum would have been wise to have kept that out of his argument. One might not have expected Sharpton to understand and articulate the points you made in your post; but, Santorum should have known better.
I watched it too. Sharpton is not the sharpest pencil in the box and is h*ll bent on capitalizing on racism. We all need to know what’s in the Constitution and what it means. Especially if the person is an elected official.
