Tea Party candidate compares himself to Stephen Biko...
...Joel Pollak, running against Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) likens himself to anti-Apartheid martyr Stephen Biko after Schakowsky criticized him for writing for Andrew Breitbart's site biggovernment.com.

This is literally outrageous.

1. I am stunned that the guy had even heard of Steven Biko....

What are the odds his supporters know who Biko was...?

and "outrageous" is being more than kind. It is disgusting.


I see the truth, lynched and set afire by your sliming of one of history's courageous, noble man.

5. The fact that this jerk-off spent time in S. Africa...

...makes it even more egregious.

Little surprise for a group that worships a POTUS (Reagan) who supported apartheid and labeled Mandela's compatriots terrorists.

4. Really? I must have missed the part where he was imprisoned, beaten and murdered. [n/t]

6. Interesting comparison given that most Tea-Partiers probably supported apartheid
Lord knows....a good portion of Republicans feel that Mandela should still be in jail.
