Of course they are, because what Savage did was to equate the single word Santorum with something disgusting. Look at all the jokes about googling “Santorum.” Savage may have intended only an attack on one richly deserving target, but he did so in a thoughtless and irresponsible way that makes every innocent person with the same surname collateral damage. I have no idea how many kids named Santorum there are in the world, but there must be some, and I can’t imagine that many of them will get through school without other kids finding out what their name means.
There’s also a new poll out that says 10% of college grads think Judge Judy sits on the Supreme Court. I have to think that the respondents are just playing with the pollsters on stuff like this.
So what? Santorum could be a great death metal band name. 
I’ve got a friend named John Smith who always gets teased for his “bullshit that’s your real name” name since he was a kid. Went to school with a kid named Keith Ferroni. I’m sure you can guess his nickname.
Since one particular Santorum absolutely deserves a huge swipe at his asswipe religious attitude and phobias, find me a site that defends the last name and demands less bullying. I’m sure the other Santorums laugh plenty at their namesake prick.
With a gammy leg???

Rick Santorum did first.
“I am the way, the truth and the life. All those other guys are a bunch of LOSERS.”
(Spreads hands wide and tilts head to one side with a douchey just-sayin’ expression.)
I don’t think that’s stupid. Especially since Trump & Cruz–two of the madder candidates–are threatening early.
Of course the plutocrat traitor shill does not realize that TRUMP is the manifestation of the anger of the American proletariat and probably prefers jerking off to porn of middle-aged women with sagging breasts and the visages of Carly Fiorina sodomizing sub males with strap-ons (certainly he metaphorically does so!) over the lovely, ethereal girls of manga and anime. Really why are these men-their antisocial tendencies having been caused by the neoliberal deindustrialization and destruction of American community thanks to the economism of fusionist conservatism anymore pathetic then his wife and millions of other bourgeois middle-aged women fantasizing over the protagonist of 50 Shades of Grey? At any rate, I look forward to his and the rest of the Establishment’s humiliation once TRUMP wins Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina before sweeping the rest of the nation with the solid mass of the working people of the American nation behind him. Hopefully once he assumes the Presidency, TRUMP will confine this disgusting classist bigot to a mental asylum in Soviet tradition. Already he is being destroyed on Twitter by the legions of patriotic men and women who simultaneously appreciate the art form of anime.
Why aren’t you worried about the Santorums who were even more embarrassed by the guy sharing their name being a vile, homophobic piece of shit?
“Normie?”
“Cuckservative?”
South Carolina Republican state legislator wants to force journalists to register with the state:
A fine post. I myself was getting a little tired of simply using the term RINO. However, you’ll need to condense that so the average Trump supporter can use it. After you explain it to them, of course.
Get some sleep, Qin.
One example should suffice.
So the remedy for that is to humiliate them further? Great. Listen, could I speak to John Stamos’s Right Ear? That must be the smart one.
Of course! Because I don’t happen to know any, there are no other Santorums! That solves everything! There’s not even a family, Rick just spontaneously generated. It would explain a lot, actually.
Of course not. But consider:
Santorum: has been actively working for decades to deny legal rights to millions of Americans, just because he thinks they’re icky.
Savage: subjected Rick Santorum and people unfortunate enough to share his name to puerile mockery, in order to stop Santorum from achieving his agenda.
I’m having a hard time getting upset about some toilet humor employed in a good cause when the context places it next to a monstrous political agenda which could potentially be achieved if unopposed.
And, ironcially, people named Santorum could change their name. Gay people can’t stop being gay.
In all fairness, King had a son (MLK III) and people might just be assuming that “MLK Jr.” is the kid, rather than the father.
There seems to be a never-ending supply of legislators and governors who either have no fucking idea what the U.S. Constitution says, or just don’t care.
We need some kind of Santorum conversion therapy. They could pray the Santorum (or the santorum) away.
