I imagine his problem is that they rated an entirely truthful statement as merely mostly true due to a technical distinction that no reasonable person would make. Nobody could honestly think that the White House was trying to hide the fact that some Catholics hadn’t had sex yet, or that the tiny number of virgin Catholics were relevant to the statistic in any way whatsoever.
Santorum may not have sent the Hanukkah cards but that’s only because he was saving up the Stupid for something special, like saying that Obama Has Put America On ‘The Path’ Of Executing Religious People By Decapitation:
Yes, you heard rightly - enforcing the separation of church and state means that Obama is going to start guillotining people. If that slope got any more slippery they’d build a ski lift on it.
This is a fun game we all can play! “Rick Santorum eats beef which means that he’s okay with killing animals and we all know kittens are animals too. Therefore if we elect Rick Santorum we’ll have a President who bites the heads off kittens for fun, and is that the kind of man we want in the White House?”
The sad thing is that, as insane as that last paragraph is, it still makes more sense than what Santorum said.
What really chaffs my hide is that the blokes who ran the French Revolution happened to come up with a handful of inalienable rights, applicable to all men regardless of religion, state or even nationality. You may have heard of them. I’d wager Santorum has too, he’s an educated man.
Also, how does the “marginalization of faith” (whatever the fuck that may mean) removes Creator-granted rights ? Does god only grant rights in a clap-your-hands-if-you-believe-you-have-the-right-to-bear-arms capacity ? Would he take away those rights in a huff if people stopped worshipping ? And if so, how the fuck are they inalienable ?
Why am I getting so pissed off by this one quote I do not know, but GAWD.
The logic of this hurts my brain.

Most Americans have the common sense to not force anyone to have sex. And, if someone did, they’d probably be shamed over Facebook. Therefore, the law is unnecessary. Right?
What if you work for Facebook? You bitch about working there, come back and your Facebook page says you work for the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful company I’ve ever known in my life.
Why do the socialists want to cockblock the caribou? Rep. Louis Gohmert (R-TX) demands to know.
And you can’t access any game except solitaire.
Here’s a good one. Rep. Trent Franks (R-AZ) is trying to get a bill called the “Susan B Anthony and Frederick Douglas Prenatal Nondiscrimination Act” out of committee. One of its premises is that abortion is the leading cause of death in the black community, and that
(NB: the quoted link is to a PDF of the memo.)
To support this allegation, it cites a study by the Guttmacher Institute, which started as a semi-autonomous unit of Planned Parenthood (now independent).
My, my, my. Planned Parenthood is actually engaged in the long-term, secret genocide of African Americans by way of abortion. And they even publish studies that prove it if you read between the lines. How very supervillainy-reveal-the-plan-to-the-hero-monologuey of them!
Of course, what the cited study actually says is that abortion rates are higher amongst African Americans because unintended pregnancies rates are higher. And preventing unintended pregnancies is one of Planned Parenthood’s primary purposes. Which the GOP is trying to prevent by defunding Planned Parenthood because “more than 90% of their business is abortions”, which are being used to wipe out African Americans (slowly, under the guise of helping them, how invidious!), so really the GOP is protecting African Americans from those crazy-ass, racist liberals.
Truly, the product of a dizzying intellect. Or Glenn Beck.
Is that stupid, or clever?
There’s a fine line…
We should get a lot of material for this thread, as the [del]Conservative[/del] Comedy Political Action Conference takes place over the next few days.
Stupid like a fox!
Why do you think they named the network that? ![]()
I don’t know, but the title is one of the most phenomenal namedrops in the history of namedropping.
Back to Santorum, now he says Obama is actively trying to allow Iran to have a nuke:
I think Santorum is starting to reach out to the People Who Never Read A Newspaper demographic. Warning Iran that they are going to get attacked… yup, that is one helluva betrayal of the people who would be fighting on our side, and not consequential at all! :rolleyes:
Back to Santorum, he also says women on the front-lines might endanger the mission because men might try to protect them.
Really Santorum? People on the front line aren’t supposed to watch each others’ backs? Men are so emotionally hopeless that they’ll compromise the mission to protect lil’ Mary Sue? How is it that other nations’ military forces can integrate women into combat and make it work out just fine (e.g. Israel)?
That’s been the standard argument against allowing women to serve on the front lines pretty much for ever. Stupid, yes, but not specifically Republican stupidity.
But breathing new life into the meme is a fresh stupidity
I’d rather have my sisters next to me in combat than a dweeb like Rick Santorum.
I don’t want any santorum near me when I’m in a foxhole.
