(CNN) – Karen Santorum, wife of Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum, defended her husband Monday against same-sex marriage proponents targeting the former Pennsylvania for his social conservative views.

"I think it is very sad what the gay activists have done out there. They vilify him, and it is so wrong," Karen Santorum said at a South Carolina forum. "Rick does not hate anyone. He loves them. What he has simply said is marriage shouldn't happen."

1. poor little frothy

the gays don't like him.

[HopeHoops]

15. I guess she doesn't have access to Google.

[monmouth]

17. Or shampoo. Gawd lady, the hair, the hair!!!..n/t

[HopeHoops]

18. If you were married to Mr. Frothy, would YOU bother to wash?

I mean, what's the point?

[Matariki]

35. I feel bad about it

but your post made me laugh. out loud. loudly.

[snagglepuss]

36. She needs more than shampoo. There's very little hair left.

Perhaps Calista would be kind enough to give her some blow drying tips.

[Fuzz]

2. Ah yes. The love the sinner hate the sin, defense.

[Ganja Ninja]

3. Call it a case of what goes around comes around. n/t

[vminfla]

4. "I even have a black friend"

Typical intolerance excuses.

[HopeHoops]

19. Singular. He's the 80 year old in a wheel chair who greets him at WalMart.

He can't retire at 80 because of GOP policies, but as long as he says "hello", he's Mr. Frothy's friend.

[Marrah_G]

5. Yeah, the poor oppressed, straight, male, christian

I can't imagine having to deal with people like that on a daily basis. I can't imagine having them as parents.

THIS is the sort of thing he and his wife should be called on the carpet about.

[justiceischeap]

6. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it wasn't just "gay" activists that went after Santorum

for his comments. I can't say this for a fact but I'm pretty sure straight folks took him to task for his comments as well.

[Bluenorthwest]

10. They sure did, and they had good reason to as well...

"One of the things I will talk about, that no president has talked about before, is I think the dangers of contraception in this country.... Many of the Christian faith have said, well, that's okay, contraception is okay. It's not okay. It's a license to do things in a sexual realm that is counter to how things are supposed to be."
It is not just us he and his kind are after.

[HangOnKids]

30. By Frothy's Logic In This Quote

It sounds as if gay relationships are the way to go because they don't need the evil contraception.

[Malikshah]

7. It is so sad that you support your husband's hatred. Won't you think of the children?

Lady, you are anything but.

[yellowcanine]

8. "What he has simply said is marriage shouldn't happen." Oh yes. One could say the same about

people opposed to interracial marriage. No bigotry there, right. I am just saying that marriage shouldn't happen.....

Of course even that is a mighty piece of spin by Mrs. Santorum. What about comparing gay marriage to polygamy and bestiality? Or did we just imagine "man on dog"?

[Lint Head]

9. Behind the frothiness beats the true heart of a bigot.

[Bigmack]

11. It's so unfair...

... he compares other people's sexual orientation to beastiality, and right away those people get huffy and play a little Google-game with you.

Those haters are just jealous of your looks, Rick. They just think you're cute!

[Blacksheep214]

12. It's very simple, lady!

Your hatreds, prejudices and intrusions into others lives doesn't square with ANYTHING I was taught about a loving god.

It's assholes like this that turned me atheist!

So much for live and let live, huh?

[rocktivity]

13. Rocktivity: "It is very sad what Rick Santorum and other anti-gay activists have done.

I vilify them, and it is so right -- as in correct, not right wing."

[Liberal Veteran]

14. Oh, I'm so sorry. That wasn't the intent, but it is hard to clean up Santorum without staining

[Botany]

16. Tell it to the Doctor, Karen

BTW this is what Rick said:

Every society in the history of man has upheld the institution of marriage as a bond between a man and a woman. Why? Because society is based on one thing: that society is based on the future of the society. And that's what? Children. Monogamous relationships. In every society, the definition of marriage has not ever to my knowledge included homosexuality. That's not to pick on homosexuality. It's not, you know, man on child, man on dog, or whatever the case may be. It is one thing. And when you destroy that you have a dramatic impact on the quality --

[Iggo]

20. Fuck you, Karen.

[roguevalley]

29. I thought I heard that she once lived with an abortion provider. Is that true?

[HillWilliam]

21. We never would have bothered (with) him

if he hadn't struck out with lies and propaganda first. We're supposed to take his (and his ilk's) shyte lying down meekly? I don't f'ing think so. He has well earned everything coming to him.

[11 Bravo]

22. Right, because all your husband did was to compare gays to pedophiles, polygamists, and dog-fuckers.

How dare anyone take that personally!

[arcane1]

23. THEY vilify HIM??????

*head explodes*

[Jennicut]

24. And what does he do to gay people? Not vilify them? Pot calling kettle black.

what a load of hooey. Santorum is a disgusting hateful whiny little creature. I can't even call him human.

[Arkana]

25. Oh poor baby.

"Just because my husband makes gay people out to be subhuman animals who can't control their basest instincts and will fornicate with anything that hoves into their field of vision DOESN'T MEAN YOU HAVE TO BE MEAN TO HIM YOU BIG MEANIEPANTSES!"

The persecution and hypocrisy are fucking disgusting.

[Zorra]

26. Ricky, Ricky, Ricky...What are we going to do with you?

Ricky doesn't hate us. He is just doing his job according to what Jesus said about LGBT's!

Oh...oh, yeah...there's no record anywhere of Jesus saying anything about LGBT's.

OK, then...Ricky just wants to persecute LGBT's because of the profound love he has in his heart for us. That makes sense. Kind of like the compassionate burning of witches because it is God's will.

I totally get it now...why, it's not hate at all. He's harming others out of his great love for them.

Ricky's just doing his job the best way he knows how.


From the OP article:

Along with his wife, Santorum weighed in on Monday, saying some people misinterpret his views against same-sex marriage as attacks.

"I'm doing what I'm called to do, which is love everyone and accept everybody," the candidate said. "But this is a public policy difference, and I think that some see that public policy difference as a personal assault."

Santorum controversy regarding homosexuality

The Santorum controversy arose over Republican former U.S. Senator Rick Santorum's statements about homosexuality and the right to privacy. In an interview with the Associated Press (AP) taped on April 7, 2003,[1] and published April 20, 2003, Santorum stated that he believed mutually consenting adults do not have a constitutional right to privacy with respect to sexual acts. Santorum described the ability to regulate consensual homosexual acts as comparable to the states' ability to regulate other consensual and non-consensual sexual behavior, such as adultery, polygamy, child molestation, incest, sodomy, and bestiality, whose decriminalization he believed would threaten society and the family, as they are not monogamous and heterosexual.

Many Democratic politicians, gay rights advocates, the Log Cabin Republicans, and progressive commentators condemned the statements as homophobic and bigoted,[1] while some conservatives supported Santorum's beliefs.[2] The controversy carried over into Santorum's presidential campaign in 2011.[3][4][5]

It's nothing personal. Ricky is just doing his job.

[MisterP]

27. I thought the Santorums believed women couldn't talk in public

[SomethingFishy]

28. "Rick doesn't hate anyone"

He just believes certain people are inferior to him and those people should in no way be afforded the rights he worked so hard for.


50% of every heterosexual marriage ends in DIVORCE. Now that is what I call respecting marriage.


And I believe by "gay activists" she means "Dan Savage". And Dan has warned them. "Don't continue with this shit or I'll make your first name as "google worthy" as your last...

I guess she isn't listening. Bring on the new meaning of the word RICK...

[Blacksheep214]

32. A Rick Roll is bad enough!

One could say that The Golden Rule has teeth and bit these holier than thous right in the ass!

[Warren DeMontague]

31. No, he wants to outlaw birth control and throw gay people in jail

but it's all OUTTA LOVE!!!

[TheCruces]

33. Oh poor baby...those gays are just sooo mean!

[Whisp]

34. awww, the poor hateful little frothy bigot fuck.
