(RAT) Rep. Bass: Mandela's Fight Against Apartheid Similar to 'Struggle for Health Care'
CNS News ^ | 12/10/13 | Melanie Hunter

(CNSNews.com) - Rep. Karen Bass (D-Calif.), in an appearance on MSNBC's "PoliticsNation" on Friday, condemned former Sen. Rick Santorum's comments comparing Nelson Mandela's fight against apartheid to the fight against Obamacare as "shameful."

"And actually if I was going to make a comparison, I would make the opposite comparison, because I think the struggle for justice, which Nelson Mandela led for so many years is similar as the struggle for the health care as a right for people in the richest country in the world, and so the idea that they would make that comparison in the opposite way is just tragic," Bass said.

For sure, death by obama is very much like Mandela’s fight; it is a terrorist act against the citizens of a sovereign nation designed to take down the economy and take control of that nation to the detriment of the citizens of that nation.

F***ing National Socialist Democrat Party!

Liberals think Obama is the new Mandela. If they mean “having assumed room temperature”, I’m all for it.

It makes me sad when I see people like and know that we closed down our state mental health facilities.

Mandela, Csstro, Gaddaffi, Arafat,Obama... BIRDS OF A FEATHER

Will comrade Obama use necklacing to force obamination care?

Mandela once cheering, “‘Long live Comrade Fidel Castro!’” Mandela referred to Gaddafi as “‘my brother leader” and Arafat as “‘a comrade in arms.’”

And what is Mandela’s legacy to his native South Africa? It is the purpose of Mercer’s book to show that it is nothing to write home about. “Since he [Mandela] came to power in 1994, approximately 300,000 people have been murdered.” “Bit by barbaric bit,” she writes, “South Africa is being dismantled by official racial socialism, obscene levels of crime—organized and disorganized—AIDS, corruption, and an accreting kleptocracy.”

Why didn’t Caliph Baraq attend Moamar Gadhaffi’s funeral?

V.I. Lenin: "Socialized Medicine is the Keystone to the Arch of the Socialist State."

I see her point.
