"Most of us who followed his career were just stunned at how, for seven or eight months, he was remarkably disciplined,” said G. Terry Madonna, director of the Center for Politics and Public Affairs at Franklin and Marshall College in Lancaster, Pa. Lately, he said, he has seen signs of a more familiar Santorum. “He’s visceral, emotional, provocative,” Madonna said. “It’s who he is.”

Santorum, who spent 12 years in Congress, developed a reputation as a passionate but sometimes hotheaded advocate for his causes.

“For a candidate seeking to be the conservative standard-bearer in the election, it is perhaps not the worst thing to be caught on tape cursing out a reporter from a mainstream newspaper.”

Calling out a lying NYT punk reporter was the best thing Santorum could have done. It was great to see Santorum call that lying punk a liar straight to his face. Even Sarah Palin applauded Santorum for it.

I was getting tired of Santorum’s inability to confront the constant lies he faced from the MSM.

The F word flies freely at Obama rallies.

The MSM isn’t concerned, even when it comes from the mouth of the Vice President.

So what? We should be happy that Republicans are standing up to the left and the press.

Good to see you are here selling this crap from Madonna, a leftist of the first order, to defend your favorite publication the NY Times. You obviously find it beyond the pale that a Rick called this weasel Obummer sycophant and his reporting BS.

“visceral, emotional, provacative”

His reaction to the Zimmerman shooting of Martin is the most concerning of all to me.

Talk radio isn’t covering his comments convicting Zimmerman and claiming to know his evil, sick mind, from what I was able to hear, but FR highlighted the appalling remarks which he said on a Sunday interview show.

Santorum: Zimmerman ‘has a very sick mind,’ motive ‘a malicious one’

From the article;

But that nice-guy image has gone down the drain lately, with a series of provocative remarks and testy exchanges that have coincided with his slipping presidential fortunes

I guess the post must have missed Santorum's 22 point win in Louisiana on Saturday.

The Washington Post....All Romney all the time. For example... http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-fix/post/why-louisiana-could-stop-romneys-southern-slide/2012/03/21/gIQAfxsmSS_blog.html

Look in the mirror, WaPo.

You’ve not seen anything yet to come close to the normal juvenile lib cr*p.

We’re not backing down any more.

And I think it’s going to get far, far worse.

Live it, love it.

The media hates the light of truth being shown upon them.

Santorum should have just called the reporter a major league a-hole and be done with it.
