Rick Santorum accuses Obama of being intolerant of hateful bigots

Rick Santorum accuses Obama of being intolerant of hateful bigots

by Kaili Joy Gray

Won't someone please think of the bigots?

GOP presidential candidate and former U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum (Pa.) said the Obama administration's view of proponents of the California's "Proposition 8" amounted to bigotry. [...]

According to Santorum, speaking at a campaign stop in Texas Wednesday, the administration's view of advocates of Proposition 8 is that their "'belief of marriage between a man and a woman is purely irrational based on irrational hatred and bigotry. Where's the tolerance in that?"

Of course, the Obama administration hasn't actually said anything about the recent ruling on Proposition 8. But no matter—poor Rick Santorum is feeling awfully oppressed by the president's intolerance of Santorum's intolerance. Why, it's getting so a proud bigot like Santorum can't even express his hatred openly without imagining that the president doesn't agree with him!

Poor guy.

I'm also bigoted against stepping in dog or cat mess, pedophiles, murderers and rich pricks that take advantage of poor people.

Obama has said that HE HIMSELF believes that marriage is between a man and a woman, so it is a lie for Santorum to say this about Obama:

"'belief of marriage between a man and a woman is purely irrational based on irrational hatred and bigotry."

That basically sums up the right-wing fundy view. "How dare you not tolerate my belief that homosexuality should be made illegal, minorities should be rounded up and deported, and any religion that is not Christian should be squashed"

Anyway, otherwise the audience would be hooting at his twisted bizarre logic.
