SERIOUSLY FOLKS...
Understand just how vehement the media HATRED is going to be toward Santorum in the coming days.
Here are a few tweets, from just the LAST FEW MINUTES:
Ben Gilbert-And *now* you understand why it’s so funny when actual headlines say “Santorum surging from behind”
-Ben is a Brooklyn-based Senior Reporter at Joystiq, where he focuses on features, interviews, and news reporting.)
Rob Delaney- SANTORUM WINS! (designation of candidate most swollen with hate)
-L.A. Comedian, TV Personality
WONKETTE(liberal Blog) -Santorum’s real identity is Richey Rich!
Baseball Writer and ESPN Columnist - Meanwhile, somewhere in Washington the President is cackling — a Libertarian, a Mormon flip-flopper, and a Santorum.
(For those of you who don’t know, the liberal definition of a “Santorum” is the frothing mixture of semen, crap, and lube that leaks out of a rectum after bareback gay sex. This term was coined 4 years ago by DAILY KOS, and picked up with glee by MSNBC
Rob Kutner, Writer for Conan O’Brian - I’m just happy to hear the phrase, “Santorum in a Three-Way.”
Julie Fleischer (Ugly Chick on CBS ‘The Big Bang Theory’) - Cable news working to unscrew the horns on Santorum so they can cover him seriously going forward.
Aaron Mehta (Reporter for iWatch, and the SOROS-FUNDED “Center For Public Integrity” - I also admit to laughing at the thought of innocent voters going “oh, I’ll google this Santorum fellow and find out what he’s about!”
Numerous ‘Black” Tweeters - Santorum tells Iowans: ‘I don’t want to make black people’s lives better’ zite.to/u3fdJa (racist douche bag!)
The Borowitz Report (Hate-filled liberal Blog) - Santorum says he just got a call from Obama: “He stopped laughing long enough to say congratulations.”
XXtremity (Who knows?) - Grape, strawberry, lime, cherry, or watermelon? Which is your favorite flavor of Santorum?
There are MANY, MANY more, mostly from CELEBS and Media people. Get ready for the HATE ORGY, folks....
The fags hate Rick Santorum. But they are only 2% of the population, so who cares?
They’re too busy with their filthy sexual practices to go out and vote anyway.
The establishmedia hate machine will be going full blast after an unashamed Christian Conservative. Let the war begin.
Pray for America
They hate the man because he wants to defend the lives of infants in the womb, and uphold traditional marriage.
That’s it, pure and simple.

-Ewww please not Santorum, he’s just another one of those close-minded crazies.
Howard Fineman-HuffPo Snr Politics Editor
-It’s going to take a little while for people to realize — or remember — just how far right Santorum is on social issues
MAJORITY REPORT - Lib Blog
- Rick Santorum: “I’ll Protect Your Tax Dollars From Black People”
Of course. It’s what they do.
And as much as I love Santorum, this is why I believe we need Newt. Newt is as nasty and down and dirty as they are — except he’s a long-time conservative who loves this country.
Like both — but can Santorum stand up to the evil? Not sure yet ...
Who said the culture war is over? It's about to get a whole lot hotter.
Watching obama lose will be sweet. Watching him lose to a social conservative will be even sweeter.
Oh, I expected this for sure. Occasionally the media would put out an article about him when he was hovering in single digits in Iowa. The libs would bash him in the comments section. You ought to read the Huff Post comments. They hate him with a ferocity similar to Bush Derangement Syndrome. They are about to rain the fires of hell down on this guy.
Go Rick!
You won't hear me disagreeing.
But are those attacks a bad thing? Not necessarily — especially in the Republican primary season. We can tell a lot about people from who their enemies are. It doesn't tell us everything we need to know, but it tells us a lot.
When the vilest and most vicious of the Democratic attacks get leveled against Santorum, they may actually help his campaign for Republican votes by antagonizing conservatives.
On the other hand, if Santorum has some skeletons in his closet we don't yet know about, we'll find out very soon. That's not bad; if there is something we need to know that hasn't yet come out, at least we still have South Carolina to create a clear conservative candidate. My guess is that there's nothing there to find other than some fiery and maybe radical quotes illustrating his well-known pro-life and anti-gay positions.
For conservative voters, that's not a problem — or at least it shouldn't be.
What I'm concerned about is two types of attacks:
1) the type of people who got on some Santorum threads yesterday and started posting questions about Santorum’s views on the Second Amendment, totally without links or evidence, and
2) the type of people who got on Free Republic to bash Santorum’s decision to have a private funeral Mass in his home for his dead newborn son, quoting Colmes’ comments on FOX News.
I'm not sure the people doing Item #1 are even legitimate Freepers. I don't recognize the accounts as regular posters, and when challenged, no evidence showed up. They may be Romneybots or Paulbots spreading nonsense. When I see sleepers who signed up years ago but have little posting history until they dump serious accusations against one candidate, I get suspicious.
As for the people doing Item #2, even Colmes apologized for his offensive comments, but some Freepers wanted to make a major issue over that. The difference is the people doing Item #2 include at least some people who sincerely believe what they are saying, and I respect that. We, as pro-lifers, need to understand that some people in America are so far away from our values that they think what the Santorum family did was not just strange but grotesque. That's reality, and we have to deal with it.
For the general election, we need to be prepared for serious attacks on the pro-life position of **ANYONE** who wins the Republican nomination; after all, even Romney claims to be pro-life and he's going to get liberal Democratic attacks accusing him of switching sides purely for political convenience (and the Democrats are right on that about Romney, IMHO).
But for now, we need to be very careful about doing the Democratic Party's work for them. I've seen things on Free Republic written about Santorum in the last few days that, if I didn't recognize the screen names of the people writing, I would have thought were from Democratic Underground or Daily Kos or even worse places.
I do not question the sincerity of economic conservatives or military conservatives who really, really don't like social conservatives, but we need to learn to disagree in a civil manner, not tear each other apart. None of the three wings of the Republican Party can win elections in most parts of the United States without the others. Circular firing squads help nobody but the Democrats.
