You know what, let me relate to you two specific instances I had to object to a supporter of Newt, who thought it necessary to copy a list of supposed Santorum infractions and post it here.

In that list was this...

Rick Santorum sided with “X despicable Democrat” to support a law that would eliminate the ability of abortion clinic protesters to obtain relief of debt through bankruptcy.

That means that anyone caught protesting an abortion clinic would no longer be able to file bankruptcy.

Okay, there you have it. Everyone reading this would naturally come to the conclusion that Santorum was adversarial to anti-abortion protesters. The only problem is, that charge was utterly false.

The bill had been written to prevent violent abortion clinic protesters who accrued debt due to an act of violence, from being able to avoid financial responsibility. That’s a totally different thing.

If an abortion clinic protester fired off a bomb, burned vehicles, or injured an employee, they would not be able to avoid having to make restitution by filing bankruptcy.

As a supporter of people’s right to protest peacefully, I want abortion protester’s rights protected. I do not what them to be relieved of responsibility for bombing a clinic, burning cars, or hurting someone.

I explained this mistaken aspect of his list, and the Gingrich supporter continued to post the false presentation anyway.

I explained that another charge against Santorum with a link to a bill to verify the charge, was to a totally unrelated bill. This person failed to remove this charge against Santorum as well. He didn’t fix the link either.

Over a week later, this guy was still posting the same charges, only then he wasn’t providing any links at all for verification.

Don’t even try coming here to tell me how unfair Sanotrum people are here. Clean up your side’s act, then get back to me.

thank you very much for that little teaching moment, though being a sanctimonium supporter, I doubt you'll learn anything..

In my previous post, I painted you with a very broad brush because of the way some of santorum supporters have behaved, sometimes specifically to me, and I immediately sent you an apology - for overreacting the way I did. Immediately.

You then turn around and do the same thing to me, only you don't apologize, and augment your maggot statments with that famous self-righteous santorum style.

I am no more responsible for all the posts from gingrich supporters, than you are for the ones from santorum supporters. Only I recognize that, and apologize when I fall short. You, like your candidate, just smarm on with your holier-than-thou sanctimonious words and actions. Will you people ever get it? Or is the pious fog so thick you will never use your brains again?

Again, thanks for the teaching moment. Jerk.
