Reason Magazine Blogger Finds Pleasure in Tears of Rick Santorum's 8-year-old Daughter

Because the libertarian universe has no place for the vulnerable, weak, or the dependent--since none are autonomous adult-choosers in search of virtual kiddie porn--it has no qualms in providing a forum in which children and their families can be verbally abused and have profanities hurled at them. Read and weep Julian Sanchez's "Your Tears Are So Yummy and Sweet" in which the writer says he finds joy in the tears of Rick Santorum's eight-year-old daughter, who is pictured crying next to her father as he gives his concession speech on Tuesday night, November 7. Most of the comments that follow celebrate and contribute to Mr. Sanchez's meanness. In fact, one commentator, named Jon H., makes sarcastic reference to the Santorums' newborn child who died in 1996. ~ Posted by Francis J. Beckwith at 11:25 PM

Your Tears Are So Yummy and Sweet

Julian Sanchez | November 8, 2006, 2:44pm

Man, I haven't taken this much pleasure in the suffering of a small child in days.

Libertarian ranks filled out with compassionless malcontents, who only admit to what is mechanistic, cold and dark in life?

"N-a-a-a-a-a....."

I quit when Virginia Postrel left the mag. Those that replaced her lacked her grace and the magazine tanked in its tone. Too much snideness and condesencion for me from the new editorial regime.

"The people you describe are not small "l" libertarians, they are hard core, lawless Libertines. BIG difference.

The extreme right and the extreme left are flip sides of the same coin."

Which is why Lew Rockwell and Cindy the Tramp, are lovers.

Of course, they both are probably paid good bucks by George $oreA$$ via one or more his pseudo non profits for their vile hatred of our president and our military.

Like all obsessed neurotics who hate themselves, he is bound and determined to make himself "feel normal" by manipulating others into helping him make it happen.

He will die a lonely, bitter man if he isn't able to face the fact that he is his own worst enemy, and stop blaming others for the fact that he can't be happy.

You have just described the reality of the Elite Perverts of the Lunatic Left.

Well, I agree with you that it's wrong, whichever side of the aisle the parent is on.

It does a disservice to our side as well when people attack their political opponents based on their looks. For exmaple, I don't dislike Helen Thomas because of what she looks like, and I wouldn't expect an 80-something year old woman to be a beauty queen, either.

I do find her politics repehensible, though, and I believe that if a person is going to attack her anti-American positions, then that's what they should do.

When you attack a person's child or their looks because you disagree with their politics, you dilute your argument and come across as if you're position is indefensible. I always cringe when I see posts like that.

I have been here for quite a few years, and have never gotten humor out of the suffering of any child of a politician.

BTW, I have admonisted fellow FReepers who have stepped over the line. Perhaps you might want to go over to their site and express your thoughts

I'm with you there, alnick. Your point is the exact one I was trying to make here. Perhaps I did it clumsily.

I enter into a distress state when I hear a woman or a child cry.I do not panic,but try and stem the flow as best I can.To do something as despicable as that,takes a certain person.If that is his way of life,someone needs to report him to CPS!If he has any.

"BTW, another freeper emailed me about an incident on Rush's tv show during the 90's, where he put up a picture of a dog on screen with Chelsea Clinton's name under it. He took big time heat for that one, said it was an accident." - MaxFlint

Since I have that show on videotape, I know exactly how it came down, and it was an accident.

The explanation below is accurate, regardless of what goof-balls like Al Franken try to make out of it in order to advance their own careers by trading on Rush's name.

Copyright 1992 Multimedia Entertainment, Inc.
SHOW: RUSH LIMBAUGH (9:00 PM ET)
November 10, 1992, Tuesday 11:15 AM
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1032838/posts

("Who's Sorry Now" is played and Rush points to himself)

(Laughter)

LIMBAUGH: Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry. Let me tell you very quickly what happened last Friday night. There was a new in list and new out list that was published in the newspaper. The writer said in, cute kid in the White House; out, cute dog in the White House. Could we show the cute dog in the White House who's out, and they put up a picture of Chelsea Clinton back in the crew. And many of you people think that we did it on purpose to make a cheap comment on her appearance. And I'm terribly sorry. I don't--look, that takes no talent whatsoever and I have a lot of talent. I don't need to get laughs by commenting on people's looks, especially a young child who's done nothing wrong. I mean, she can't control the way she looks. And we really--we do not--we do not do that on this kind of show. So put a picture up of her now and so we can square this.

(Photo shown of Bill and Chelsea Clinton, who is making a sour face)

(Laughter and applause)

LIMBAUGH: All right. We're sorry. We didn't intend to hurt her feelings. We'll be back with our final segment right after this. Don't go away.

Just your recital of Beckwith's CV. I may have misinterpreted your intentions.

No, they are definitely not fair game. Santorum is fair game since he thrust himself in the public arena. But, his family should be respected and will be respected by individuals with class.


Come on now, talk about being fair. We were pretty cruel to Chelsea and Amy Carter. Is that what you call fair game?

The obvious fact that this is an altered photo does not make his comments less despicable. But what is the motivation in faking this picture? Just to give people a chance to pick on a little girl? Whole thing very weird.

Chelsea wasn't fair game, either. Amy Carter wasn't fair game until she began her public demonstrations.
