Rick Santorum compared gay marriage to slavery, and himself to Abraham Lincoln

And the guy wonders why people mock him.

Santorum compares himself to Abraham Lincoln fighting another “moral wrong,” slavery.

“I have been a long-time advocate for states’ rights. However, I believe as Abraham Lincoln did — that states don’t have the rights to legalize moral wrongs,” said Santorum yesterday.

The comment came in response to rival Herman Cain’s assertion earlier in the day that states should be allowed to decide gay marriage on an individual basis.
The Washington Post's neanderthal far-right blogger is hyperventilating over the fact that Herman Cain had a moment of clarity on a civil rights issue. Then again, I guess they have to grab at some ostensible reason to vote against the man.  Might as well be civil rights (and oh so fitting, when you think about it).
