Out of touch with the mainstream of America, much, Frothy?
Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum on Thursday attributed the criticism of his socially conservative political beliefs to journalists and others living in New York.
“The idea that values issues are losers is held by a group of people in the media who live in the New York area,” he said in an interview with American Family Association’s Bryan Fischer. “Because they don’t know anybody or very few people who share those values, so they just assume the rest of the country is like them.”
“So they just naturally recoil at someone who dares to talk about these things or actually publicly talks about his faith and what his faith and convictions are. It makes them uncomfortable.”
Er, no, Frothster. If it was just mean New Yorkers [as watertiger translates, JEWS!] who hated Rick Santorum’s ultra weird psychosexually obsessed politics, Rick would be winning a lot more primaries than he currently is, and this is among Republican wingnut primary voters. Meanwhile, a majority of the country supports marriage equality and a super-majority [like what, 99%?] of women use/have used contraception at one point or another.
Rick Santorum, of course, said this to the spokesperson for a nationally known hate group, so he didn’t get any pushback. That’s how the echo chamber works.
But wait! Aren’t we told over and over by militant conservative activists that “disagreement is not hate?” Isn’t that what they tell pro-equality Americans when we bring up the element of hate in voting away civil rights, etc.? Then WHY is this any different?
Evan knows from echo chambers, he writes for one
Hey Brad. What do you think of birth control?
Then why am I so good at refuting arguments from your side, while your arguments amount to garbled nonsense?
I’m from the conservative portion of southern California and I still think the man on dog guy is just simply put a total nincompoop who wants to push their beliefs on everyone else, and a few of the right wingers around here agree… So that right there refutes the idea that it is JUST a New York issue if not the whole idea that this is the liberal media out to get him.
Ummm… Rick, I’m from South Texas, and I don’t know a single person, conservative or liberal, who doesn’t think you’re nuts!
New Yorkers may be mean, but they’re not psychotic–which is why they don’t dig Santorum.
To take a page from Santorum, and as a native New Yorker: well, I just Love the man, in the same way I would love any addled and disturbed person. He needs professional help to find out why he’s obsessed with the personal lives of ordinary Americans. As an American I am deeply concerned with Santorum’s dismissal of the Declaration’s “don’t quarter troops in people’s houses,” for that’s what it’s going to take to stop gay folks from ever acting out gay. He’s going to need a police state of enormous proportions. Perhaps that’s his singular jobs plan, to hire the police and penal authorities to round us up and lock us up. The man is simply out of his mind. Hell, even some conservative websites have wondered about his obsession with gay folk’s lives.
