While much of Rick Santorum's recent campaign rhetoric has caused a stir -- his Hitler analogies, his opposition to pre-natal testing, his antipathy towards public education, etc. -- it's a 2008 speech that seems to be causing the Republican presidential hopeful the most trouble right now.

Four years ago, Santorum spoke to students at a controversial Catholic law school, Ave Maria University in Florida, and as Right Wing Watch's Kyle Mantyla reported, he shared an unusual theological perspective.

The four-minute excerpt is worth checking out in its entirety, but this is the part that seems to be getting the most attention;

"This is not a political war at all. This is not a cultural war. This is a spiritual war. And the Father of Lies has his sights on what you would think the Father of Lies, Satan, would have his sights on: a good, decent, powerful, influential country -- the United States of America. If you were Satan, who would you attack in this day and age? There is no one else to go after other than the United States and that's been the case now for almost 200 years, once America's preeminence was sown by our great Founding Fathers."
