From Rush -
(Misquote) By Reporter Married to Kerry Campaign Manager Burns Rick Santorum
April 23, 2003

Before you analyze the comments made by Senator Rick Santorum, check your emotions. Too many people out there are waiting to be offended - on all sides of the political spectrum. These people have been manipulated by a misquote fed to them by Laura Jakes Jordan of the Associated Press - who's married to Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry's campaign manager. Did you know that?

And ... not only did she write the report, she put the word (Gay) in the report - which Santorum did not say. Hannity discussed it tonight - but Nadler kept arguing.

It would be good to have some heavy legal penalties, like a large monetary amount, when a spouse cheats, or somebody transmits a sexual disease. It would at least make people think a little more before doing something so damaging to another person, oftening creating havoc and misery in their lives.

What is the problem? Who said the gay's had a right to be so judgmental? Are we not offended that they slight a father who loves his daughter or a Mormon? It is easy to say my life style is my business but don't you dare compare me with a Morman.

Damaging?  The conservatives on this board think it was better than sliced bread.
In addition, Santorum does not dispute saying what he said, so dragging in the
messenger is just a distraction.

I heard that information yesterday about Kerry..

this whole thing has been totally blown out of proportion from the transcript that I have read.

Is it possible that democrats are in fear of losing the homosexual voting block and tried to set up a situation to paint republicans as "anti gay"? The gay community has a lot of money. Maybe they want their tax cut? Maybe they are leaving the democrat plantation?

The Democrat propaganda machine cranked up to full steam yet again. When they run out of things to scare people with, perhaps they shall fall over as their hatred, unable
to be expressed, eats them alive.. one can hope.

It may be useful for you to know that there are no polygamous Mormons today. The Latter Day Saint Church has not sanctioned the practice of polygamy since the turn of the century and it is punishable by excommunication today, without exception.

It was clear though, that Nadler the Hut wasn't ready to be challenged on this one. Also liked the way Sean went after Mario tonight as well. Poor Mario needs a civics lesson. Tried to blame 1980s spending on President Reagan after Hannity brought up the revenue increases. Lame, very lame.

If you cut Rick loose, you cut about 50% of the party loose with him. I won't remain in a party that throws someone out for believing states have the right to set their own laws when it comes to buggery, pedophilia, bestiality, incest or any other sexual perversion.

>"Lara Jakes Jordan, the wire service reporter who wrote the original story, is married to veteran Democrat operative Jim Jordan, the former executive director of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee"

First, I am thankful every day for Fox News. Liberal bias is so pervasive that media outlets REFUSE to hold each other accountible. Second, how @#$@#'ing convenient for a former DSCC bigwig to create a scandal involving a Republcian (yes, I'm aware his wife did this; but you figure out the conflict of interest yourself). This explains a lot. The way to play this game is not only to clarify Santorum's remarks and portray the Left as out-of-touch, but also exposing the "scandal behind the scandal". The Wire reporter Plainly has a political agenda. There should be an article published in the Right's media (ie: National Review) on Mrs. Jordan's various "reports" and expose the leftist bias in it. Hopefully, this will be picked up by mainstream outlets. Quite clearly, what we have is sensationalism on the part of a Democratic operative not for the purpose of informing the public, but for scoring political points. Gee, I guess a little pillow talk goes a long way, huh Mr. Jordan?

Did you hear when Sean told Nadler that Santorum was saying the same thing as the Catholic Church? Sean then asked him if that concept was bigoted.. Nadler stalled answering the question but right before a commerical said, "Yes I think it is bigoted"

Right after the commerical Nadler did line rectification.
