Santorum's war
Not so fast, terrist-enabler!
This is unbelievable. I shouldn't be surprised - his antics always make my jaw drop - but this really takes the cake.
Flaming asshat and senator Rick Santorum, in a frothy mixture of indignation and stupidity, wants to downplay the freedom bodies casualties in Iraq.
In a speech Thursday the Pennsylvania Republican really went off the deep end, attacking the media for drawing the public's attention to the deaths of American servicemen and -women in Iraq. To focus attention on the "tragic consequences" of the war, he said, was "helping Islamic fascism win the battle."
Yeah! We should focus on the fun aspects! Like ....uhhhh.... and ....ummmmmmmmm..... wait, we did find WMDs, right? Oh.
For Sen. Santorum to suggest that we and other American media should not report about the tragic loss of American lives -- a death toll that now stands above 2,200 -- is to sell our readers short and to suggest that they do not need to know, nor do they want to know, how many brave Americans are dying there.
For Sen. Santorum to cite national security and the claim that knowledge of US losses might encourage America's enemies, as reasons for not telling the public the truth, is insulting to the American people.

- the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Jebus. You don't even have to make this stuff up.
