Santorum: The Democratic Party Is About ‘Homosexuality’

[Segami]

" During a 2008 “Press & People of Faith in Politics” forum, Rick Santorum described to the Democratic Party as “the party of Woodstock,” and accused lawmakers of “prey[ing] upon our most basic primal lusts.”Asked to name a couple of words he’d heard attached to religion and politics in his years in the Senate, Santorum listed “moderate,” “ultra-conservative,” “liberal,” and “zealous” before launching into a full-on tirade against Democrats:

“Woodstock is the great American orgy. This is who the Democratic Party has become. They have become the party of Woodstock. They prey upon our most basic primal lusts, and that’s sex. And the whole abortion culture, it’s not about life. It’s about sexual freedom. That’s what it’s about. Homosexuality. It’s about sexual freedom.”


http://thenewcivilrightsmovement.com/santorum-democratic-party-an-orgy-of-sex-and-homosexuality-preying-on-lust/politics/2012/02/21/35088

Of course Santorum will position Republicans as the “anti-homosexuality” party if he wins the nomination and has pledged to to annul all same-sex marriages and personally campaign in every state against marriage equality.

1. Why does Icky Ricky obsess so much about the sex lives of strangers?

Got some issues there, Ricky?

Oh, and where is all this primal lust that I, as a Democrat, am supposed to be involved in? Where are the orgies? Dammit, I want my orgies! If there's primal lust going on I want in on it! Ricky couldn't be lying to me, being a Godly man and all, so I want to know why I'm missing out on the fun stuff. Maybe I need to be more active in local politics. But there was no orgy at the last precinct caucus, and I want to know why.

[msongs]

2. oh leave him alone when he criticizes the history of the Popes using dems as a metaphor lol nt

[Segami]

3. You may have hit that on the nose. He is definitely overkilling it!

[catbyte]

49. What a dope. Woodstock, for Christ sake?

I'm sure he would rail against the Charleston in the 1920's.

[Bluenorthwest]

57. Actually, this is more like railing against the Charleston in the 1960's...

Woodstock was sometime ago now.....

[crunch60]

61. George Carlin would straignten him out

This video describes homophobic, sexually repressed, anti-everything Santorum to a T. O, how I miss George.

[Ken Burch]

113. Maybe he just meant the little bird in "Peanuts"...but then, even that's an outdated reference.

(Actually, he'd rail against the waltz in the 1920's).

[Zoeisright]

52. Exactly.

Classic projection. Anyone who supports Santorum is unbelievably stupid and hypocritical. But then, that's repukes for you.

[IthinkThereforeIAM]

55. The last 5 orgies I attended...

...were mostly populated with women married to GOP supporters. I know nothing, nothing, nothing...

[Ken Burch]

114. And you didn't even take me along? You bastard!

[crunch60]

126. LOL , yea orgy's! The only

time Rickey has good sex, is when he goes into the bathroom with his Penthouse magazine. Then he probably whips himself afterward for being sinful.

[sakabatou]

4. C'mon, Rick, why are you so interested in sex?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

10. Although he's a Catholic, his sentiments are truly Puritan.

And, in the immortal words of H.L. Mencken, "Puritanism is the haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy."

He might also be envious of the fact that all over the world people are fucking like mink just for fun. And he's not.

[Bruce Wayne]

83. His sentiments are true pure bullshit

Among ideological conservative Catholics there are plenty of people who buy into the same obscure and extremist ideations as Santorum argues for. Roman Catholicic theology is broad enough to include everything from Liberation theology to Retro Paleomonarchism to the worst zealots of Opus Dei to Mel Gibson.

Santorum still manages to stay more neurotic than the worst of them.

[mr.ed]

122. Check his hard drive

Check his hard drive for porn. Just sayin'...
Check to see why he's the expert on "man on dog sex."

[ZombieHorde]

5. He makes the Democrats sound so much cooler than they really are. nt

[Moonwalk]

51. I know! I'm feeling far more energized about being a Democrat now...

Orgies, experimenting with sexuality...and Jimmy Hendrix! And here I thought the Democratic party only cared about unfair tax laws and healthcare. Who knew we were so groovy? If Rickie will toss in LSD, the Democratic party will be a dream come true! Maybe we can even legalize marijuana.

[joeybee12]

6. There is something seriously wrong with this loony...knr

[spanone]

7. this guy has some serious problems

[snooper2]

9. And a threesome would fix them all!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

11. I was thinking along the lines of

whips, ball gags and rubber underpants. I think Ricky would like that. He strikes me as the sort who would relish a session with a dominatrix who would flog him and tell him what a bad, bad boy he is.

[snooper2]

13. And a couple good lines of coke

with a beer chaser

[JHB]

70. I don't think the "rix" suffix captures who he'd like in that role...

...considering he's projecting like a drive-in.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

74. "Projecting like a drive-in" LOL!

Yes, he might very well be doing that. In which case he'd want to be spanked by someone very butch and hairy, but who would nevertheless call him a naughty boy.

[starroute]

92. Of course, if it's true that he's Opus Dei ...

... they have their own very special kind of "magic underpants."

Rick denies being a member, of course -- and with all those kids it doesn't seem like he could be a numerary -- but I wouldn't be surprised if he found that whole cilice bit just too alluring to resist. Especially at only $69.

http://www.theatlanticwire.com/politics/2012/01/opus-dei/47349/

Rick Santorum sent two of his sons to a Washington, D.C. all-boys school affiliated with Opus Dei, the Catholic group whose members were portrayed as sinisterly weird in the sensationalistic Da Vinci Code but in reality only engage in some mild self-mutilation, "nothing traumatic," as the group's website says. Santorum says he's not a member of Opus Dei, though he did go to Rome in 2002 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of its founding, and he belongs to the St. Catherine of Siena Parish, "a favorite of Opus Dei," the Washington Post says. Opus Dei has about 90,000 members, a third of which are "numeraries" who are celibate for life and wear a cilice -- a garter belt with spikes turned toward the skin -- every day. (The group is often criticized as elitist, but you can find a "three link, 1mm gauge, full-leg metal cilice with metal fastener" on sale for an affordable $69.)

[AlbertCat]

99. in reality only engage in some mild self-mutilation,

Oh well then.... no problamo.

Is the safe word "banana"?

[lunasun]

111. Yep goes with that Opus Dei crap

sack cloth and ashes & please self flagellate yourself into a frothy frenzy Santo

I think he prefers a dominant stern daddy type if he wont do it himself IMO
and we'd all like to see the gag ball on this freak

[la la]

29. he needs to get more in touch with...

newt and calista---they apparently like that kind of 'experience'

[undeterred]

40. It would have to be with Mick Jagger, Lady GaGa, and Cher

[tanyev]

8. Sounds like somebody has a bad case of projected liberal envy.

[noiretextatique]

12. repressed, much?

he's the grinch who stole sex.

[HopeHoops]

14. And, um, who exactly is constantly talking about it?

Barney Frank hardly mentions it.

[Noodleboy13]

15. Does this mean that if I don't have sex soon (been awhile)

that I'm going to have to start voting republican? Cuz that would suck.



peace,
Noodleboy

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

17. I think you specifically have to have gay sex. You are a Democrat, after all.

And therefore you are a gay heathen Satan-worshipping Islamic secular humanist orgy-having terrorist. So get busy. Don't disappoint Ricky.

[Segami]

19. LOL!

[Wait Wut]

23. There's a sheriff in Arizona...

...that's lookin' for a new bf. Just check his profile at Adam4Adam. Name's Babeu.

[Noodleboy13]

26. Heck, I'll try anything once.

Can I fantasize about Ricky while doing it?

ok, i just threw up in my mouth a little bit.

peace,
Noodleboy

[mikeytherat]

59. gay/straight/bi/pansexual - it doesn't matter. Anyone who does Ricky is taking one for the team.

mikey_the_rat

[Rozlee]

65. Only if you wear a vest while you're doing it.

He probably never takes them off, even the seven times he had sex.

[yellowcanine]

67. Well thankee for that dirty little mind picture.

[AlbertCat]

53. Remember the John Waters film "A Dirty Shame"?

When I 1st saw it I thought "The concept for this film is: what if the world REALLY WAS the way Rick Santorum thinks it is."

Someone knock Rick in the head already!!

[siligut]

71. You forgot baby killer

A gay heathen Satan-worshipping baby-killing Islamic secular humanist orgy-having terrorist. There, that's better.

[appleannie1]

16. How did we procreate before there were Democrats? "my dear, thou doth protest too much" comes

to mind. He must have had one sick childhood. WOW, something just hit me. Does anyone know if he was an alter boy?

[RevStPatrick]

36. I've been wondering that for a while.

It would explain so much about how messed up his brain is.

[JHB]

73. Just as a thing, not every altar boy had those experiences

I was one once upon a time. Neither hint nor rumor of anything like that.

I stopped because of a stretch of weddings where nobody thought to tip the altar boys coming in on their free time for their ceremony. Well, that and becoming an atheist.

[kysrsoze]

18. It's no wonder he's all about sex only for procreation. That's all he can stand. CLOSET CASE!

[Rosa Luxemburg]

31. homozygous recessive?

[XemaSab]

20. If everyone was homosexual there would never be another abortion again

[Wait Wut]

22. omg.

That should be an ad. Not sure for whom, but...yeah.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

33. There ya go!

[Wait Wut]

21. Gay Republicans must confuse the hell outta him.

I'm willing to bet they aren't sure what to do with him, either.

[Moonwalk]

54. Ricky Doesn't believe in them. Just like he doesn't believe there can be....

...liberal Christians. And what Ricky doesn't believe in, doesn't exist. And now I'm wondering about his Woodstock Reference because the vision he has of the world is a seriously bad trip. Did he take the brown acid?

[Doc Holliday]

58. Oh, they know, all right.

But Rick won't let them.

[LiberalFighter]

24. He's making accusations against Democrats regarding homosexuality

when his own church was engaged in it with adult priests forcing sex with boys.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

25. But that was OK because they weren't using contraception.

[Warren DeMontague]

27. There's nothing more American than a good old-fashioned orgy.

Hell, do it on the 4th of july in front of a barbecue, on top of a red checkered tablecloth, over a giant tub of potato salad, while Jimi Hendrix plays the Star Spangled Banner in the background. (speaking of woodstock)

Orgies are what this country was founded on!

[WinkyDink]

28. Ricky the CATHOLIC said this?!

[Rosa Luxemburg]

30. Democrats don't run after Pages or behave in a lewd manner in public restrooms?

[joeybee12]

32. If only! nt

[xchrom]

34. I haven't been invited to 1, not 1 - democratic party orgy.

Now I'm REALLY pissed.

Miss Sweater Vest is getting invited to orgies and I'm not!?!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

37. Me, either. I think we need to contact the DNC about this.

Where are the orgies? I went to a district convention a few years ago, and nobody was even naked.

[xchrom]

38. Wel...that's disappointing. Nt

[HangOnKids]

63. Get Your Sweater Vest On Baby

That's where the action is!

[mwooldri]

35. Let me correct you Mr. Santorum.

“Woodstock is the great American orgy. This is who the Democratic Party has become. They have become the party of Woodstock. They prey upon our most basic primal lusts, and that’s sex. And the whole abortion culture, it’s not about life. It’s about sexual freedom. That’s what it’s about. Homosexuality. It’s about sexual freedom.”

Now, not good for the Grammar Nazis I'm sure, but that's much more accurate.

[dana_b]

39. I guess just going around and spewing b.s. is good enough to be a Repub

candidate for the office of the POTUSA. How anyone with half a brain can take this guy seriously is amazing.

[opihimoimoi]

41. Even more amazing is supporters send him $$$

[surrealAmerican]

42. I, for one, would much prefer to associate with the ...

... "party of sexual freedom" than the party of sexual slavery. Is that what he wants the Republicans to be?

[Odin2005]

43. Translation: "I can't stop having gay sex fantasies".

[Maven]

44. What fucking century does this CREEPY LUNATIC live in???

This is a viable presidential candidate in 2012? THIS?

[malaise]

45. Santorum must be a closet gay

He's obsessed with it

[Autumn]

46. I wonder what his most basic primal lust is?

I bet it's a real sick one.

[piedmont]

47. "It’s about sexual freedom.” That sounds like his political epitaph, if Democrats...

will press the issue. Get these authoritarians out of our bedrooms.

[shcrane71]

48. Woohoo!!! The Dems get Ellen!!!! She's so awesome!

[evilhime]

50. Wow!

I wonder what he does in the privacy of his bathroom!!!

[HughBeaumont]

56. That's why we're better DANCERS, BITCH!!!

Seriously, the fact that this guy is a serious presidential candidate speaks VOLUMES about how uninvolved the average American is with coherence.

The fact that someone this lacking in common sense and logic has a Juris Doctor speaks VOLUMES about what uncaring profit centers our universities have become.

And what IS it with him and "teh geighs"?? OBSESS MUCH?

[mikeytherat]

62. I honestly think he feels the Democractic Party is Studio 54, circa 1980-82

Replace Jimi Hendrix with James Brown, and the image is complete.

mikey_the_rat

[Sheepshank]

60. And repression of sexual desires, simple makes it back room, dirty and dangerous.

In my liberal family, we have yet to have a sibling enter into a marriage with an illegitimate child in tow. My RW fundy in laws cannot say the same. A son who is a priest, excommunicated for being caught with a prostitute, and two daughters still trying to figure out their baby's daddy is.

Just because you pretend it isn't there, doesn't REALLY mean it doesn't exist.

[tabbycat31]

64. Come on Ricky, just come out already

I don't know of a single straight person who is THAT obsessed with gay sex. Come to NJ and I'll show you the local gay bar, where one visit to the men's room will get you some much needed man love.

Or perhaps he's the Catholic priest type--- then Ricky, look no further than your computer. I hear RentBoy.com will suit your needs.

Tricky Ricky, it's very clear that you need to get laid. However, until you do, please realize that the rest of America will probably get some before you do.

[yellowcanine]

66. “Woodstock is the great American orgy." Say it aint so, Crosby!

Santorum is an idiot. Woodstock was a rock concert with lots of drugs and sex. Not the same thing as an orgy at all.

[JHB]

68. What?!! Dammit! First George Soros gets behind with the checks, and now this?

I'd almost resigned myself that George was going to welsh on a good decade or two's payment for various nefarious activities in service to the Vast Liberal Conspiracy, and now I find out I've been shut out of the orgies, weed, and acid too!?!?!?

Bloody Hell, man! This is no way to run a conspiracy!

[Nuclear Unicorn]

69. Glad to be guilty as charged.

[SammyWinstonJack]

72. Woodstock is the great American orgy?

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS MORON? He's a fucking loon!


How many tens of millions of Americans is this idiot alienating?


I'm sick to death of his

sanctimonious bullshit!

[LeftishBrit]

75. Santorum is the one who seems to be obsessed with sex!

[BlueDemKev]

76. And the Republican Party is about Santorum.....enough said.

[savannah43]

77. What is his point?

He's obviously done it a few times. He has a screw loose, doesn't he? Just what we need for president, a sexually obsessed control freak with guilt issues.

[VWolf]

78. Jeebus! This sounds like the bullies I knew in 6th grade!

You know, the ones that walked around saying "That's GAY" to everything they found objectionable.

Besides, my orgies have never featured any of the artists from Woodstock.

[iwillalwayswonderwhy]

79. When do we get an Orgy group at DU?

Skinner, please, can we have an Orgy group? I'll host.

[AlbertCat]

80. The Democratic Party Is About ‘Homosexuality’

No Ricky. From what I can see YOU are about Homosexuality.

Nobody else cares about it as much as you seem to.

[MACARD]

81. Please Guys Santorum never had sex, His sexually deprived wife raped him while he was asleep

The Sweater vest is his nicotine patch but instead of blocking the urge to smoke it blocks the urge for Sex and Rationality. therefore the thought of having sex to him is like if he were a slug and you salted him.

[Bruce Wayne]

82. That boy needs to slow it down before he gets too crazy for Republicans

Not an easy accomplishment

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

84. Santorum came in his pants after fondling a dog

and then claimed the dog peed on him. Now that's "primal lust".

[Ganja Ninja]

85. OK I'm calling on all the gay men out there.

Somebody please give this man what he craves. He never stops thinking about it. It fills his dreams and consumes his every waking hour.

Ok maybe I'm asking too much. So how about just claiming you've slept with him? If anything it'll be good for laughs. A man in his state of mind is liable go over the edge, not that he's far from it now.

[WI_DEM]

86. Does that mean, then, that the GOP is about bigotry?

[mudstump]

87. Me thinks....

Ricky should come clean and step out of the closet. He's obsessing about gays and .....you know what that means. Come on Ricky...it's okay.

[Arkansas Granny]

88. With seven kids, I would say that Ricky has been practicing his own sexual freedom.

[nolabear]

89. Has anybody ever checked this guy's back for scourge marks?

He sounds like a serious candidate for self flagellation to me.

[RoccoR5955]

90. I'd like to invite him to Woodstock.

We would have an orgy of creating a new bunghole for Santorum!
He just lost EVERY vote in Ulster County.
Possibly all the votes in NY State, but there are always a few yahoos who will vote for Santorum with their santorum.

[SomethingFishy]

91. By the time he's done...

Romney is going to look like a sane rational candidate.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

93. His agents must have visited the DU Lounge

Yeah, Baby! It's all there, and more!

[loyalsister]

94. I hope he is the candidate!

He would lose so many voters over this kind of crap.
There are many log cabin republicans and plenty of republicans with gay family members who are sure to be thoroughly disgusted by this. Any thought of getting any kind swing voter to go his way would be pure delusion.

[marias23]

95. I live in Woodstock..

.. haven't gotten laid in years. Does he have a few good phone numbers?

[Island Blue]

96. I would think he would want everyone to be gay.

It seems like that would be a good way to decrease abortions.

Has there ever been a presidential candiate for a major political party who thought bout sex as much as Little Ricky does? Sure there was Clinton but at least with him it was a little less conversation, a little more action.

[Deep13]

97. “prey upon our most basic primal lusts.”

Our? I guess we learned something new about RS today.

[AtheistCrusader]

98. Damn, came here to point that out.

[Deep13]

100. Sorry. nt

[crim son]

101. If Dems remark on homosexuality and women's reproductive rights in their political discussion

it's because both topics illustrate brilliantly how embarrassingly backward is rethug thinking, and how they do not believe in equality, liberty or justice for all Americans.

[malaise]

102. I can't speak for anyone else but I just have a feeling that InSanetorum

is a closet homosexual - his obsession is not normal.

[awoke_in_2003]

103. “Woodstock is the great American orgy"...

makes me sad that I wasn't born until 1968 Seriously, Rick- go fuck yourself.

[FailureToCommunicate]

109. You really didn't miss much: three days of peace and music

It wasn't NEARLY as great as Rick and others imagine...

the traffic, the rain, the MUD... Sometimes the rain was so loud on the plastic ponchos that you couldn't any music.

The movie! THAT's where you get to really hear what (apparently) happened at Yasgur's farm.

Poor Santorum. What a sad sad man.

[sarcasmo]

104. IS that all he thinks about?

[davidwparker]

105. Methinks he protests too much. (Projection) n/t

[morningfog]

106. Hell yes! The Democratic Party is absolutely about sexual freedom!

Tell it!

[Initech]

107. Stephen Colbert was right - they're in full on Gran Torino mode.

[JoePhilly]

108. Rick "Chruch Lady" Santorum ... exclusive photo!!!!

SATAN made me do it!!!!

[Major Hogwash]

110. He's been out of the Senate just long enough to go totally coo-coo.

I wonder how the people that used to be his friends in high school feel about him now. I'll bet they are embarrassed to admit they used to know him.

[Ken Burch]

112. I just want to say that I have never experienced "sexual freedom" at any Democratic event

Never...

Never...

Never...(sob)

[mrmpa]

115. He's just pissed he missed Woodstock..eom

[LostinRed]

116. "Rigid and homophobic"

as Alan Simpson stated.

[Daemonaquila]

117. Talk about a guy with repressed urges...

What a dork. He doesn't even realize that his claims make no sense. "Abortion culture" is all about homosexuality? Has he thought about the small problem that women don't get other women pregnant, and guys sure as hell don't get other guys pregnant? So... how do we put these concepts together in a way that passes the smell test?

As for "primal lusts," Icky Ricky, is there something we ought to know about your sexual preferences?

[crunch60]

118. Why Right-Wingers' Hatred of Modern Women Is Going to Cost Them the Birth Control Battle

Check out the picture of Santorum and his daughter! She doesn't like what he's saying either..What, no Woodstock! Love the look alike dresses.


http://www.alternet.org/reproductivejustice/154224/why_right-wingers%27_hatred_of_modern_women_is_going_to_cost_them_the_birth_control_battle_%28and_a_whole_lot_of_votes%29/

[Hissyspit]

119. Sick.

[Botany]

120. The democratic party is like Woodstock and sexual freedom?

Damn I must have gone to the wrong meetings. The last democratic party
sponsored meeting I went to just had some bad coffee and hand outs on voter's
rights.

[Sparkly]

121. This guy needs a psychiatrist.

Seriously.

[divide_and_rule]

123. Santorum is right--the Dem base cares more about gay rights than almost anything else

certainly the Dem base cares more about gay rights than any of the following issues that any true leftist party would support:
1) progressive taxation--the dem base gives mere lip service to this issue. But give them a post on gay rights on DU, and by gosh they will go into a frenzy.
2) universal healthcare--the dem base gives mere lip service to this issue. But give them a post on gay rights on DU, and by gosh they will go into a frenzy.


etc etc.

Santorum is basically right--the Dem party base is more concerned with gay rights than almost any other issue, at least recently. Now, when that culture war issue runs thin with the public, then our overlords will prompt the Dem and GOP base on some other trumped up bullshit culture war issue....maybe save the gay whales etc.

Disclaimer for the witch hunters: I do not support Santorum or the GOP. If I were to vote (and I only vote on local elections), then I would vote for Obama. Satisfied?

[olegramps]

124. Sanctimonious Santorum is the reincarnation of Torquemada.

He is a zealot that would gladly torture and burn at the stake anyone who he finds guilty of moral lapses. He is a great admirer of the fascist Opus Dei cult, although he claims he is not a member, he has addressed their conferences and two of his children attend an Opus Dei dominated school. He is basically one sick self righteous bastard. There is something terribly wrong with his fascination with homosexuality and one can't help from speculating that he has a serious guilt problem that has resulted in a moral rectitude that has developed into scrupulosity.

[AngryKentuckyVoter]

125. He doesn't really believe all that stuff

Do you guys really believe he believes all the crazy stuff he's saying?

He is saying that stuff to get votes from all the crazy people cause THEY believe it.

[fightthegoodfightnow]

127. SANTORUM- Meet Your Wife

She lived out of wedlock with a man for years and reportedly had one or more abortions.

More moral relativism from the right
