Senator Santorum, Is there no end to your cultural McCarthyism?
Senator Santorum,

Must you persist in this pandering? Is there no end to your cultural McCarthyism?

Just where are the American neighborhoods you claim “have no morals”? Step up and put some specifics to your allegations. Put them to the electorate. Put them to your constituents. Get yourself a sound bite to flesh out that broad brush assertion.

Or, have you no shame?

We’ve seen this political ploy before. A red herring by any other name remains a red herring.

3. Sound bites and TV snips aside, yeah. We need to keep on our reps in DC and our States.

2. I should add a follow-up. Today CNN played the sound bite where he spoke about neighborhoods
that "lacked morals" and the undercurrent of right wing themes caught my attention. Hence, the post. :hi:

6. This man is an idiot. Did you know when their infant died he brought the body of the infant home.
He is a nutter.

7. I'll bet they're all "ghettos" or "barrios"
It's just dog-whistles for "neighborhoods where poor non-white people live".

9. Really. Haven't they beaten the family values horse to death yet?
Santorum and his constituency are terrified of equal rights. That speaks volumes about their self image. They must use every tool to bolster themselves, because they haven't the stature to excel and thrive on level ground. Poor fragile little families.
