In the 'what were they thinking' dept: Rick Santorum launches C.U.M.



This comes from the land of "you can't make this sh*t up." GOP Clown Car occupant, ace homophobe and bearer of a redefined surname that has become a giant political problem for him on Google, Rick Santorum is not doing himself any more favors by launching the Conservatives United Moneybomb, or C.U.M. for shorthand.

WHAAAAAAAAT



How could that... just... OH WOW.

[AFK]

Filthy minds!  Clearly he is just signaling his love for the heavy metal band Quiet Riot. 

[Cain]

Can it be... Santorum actually has a sense of humour?

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Can it be... Santorum actually has a sense of humour?

I really can't even imagine that happening.

My god... it's real. Holy fuckin' wowzers.

[Cain]

Can it be... Santorum actually has a sense of humour?

I really can't even imagine that happening.

It's either that, or he's hired the same guy responsible for Rick Perry's Brokeback Mountain look while ranting about Teh Gheys for his fund-raising.

[Cramulus]

I'm starting to think there IS a fabulous homosexual conspiracy.

[Cain]

Santorum: when life gives you rape, make rapenade!

No, seriously

I've always, you know, I believe and I think the right approach is to accept this horribly created — in the sense of rape — but nevertheless a gift in a very broken way, the gift of human life, and accept what God has given to you

[sotesla4]

Rape is God's way of reminding women their place in in the home

[Cain]

Not accepting God's rape-delivered gift makes you a hateful and ungrateful bitch.  True story.

[Don Coyote]

God shows his love for the single and childless women by sending his angels to gives them the gift of children.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Wowwwwwww.

[Nephew Twiddleton]

WHAT THE FUCK

[Cain]

Here's the full quote, in context

Last Friday, CNN's Piers Morgan asked Santorum to clarify his reasoning behind such a callous position. Insisting that "it's not a matter of religious values," Santorum explained that sexual assault victims should "accept this horribly created" pregnancy because it is "nevertheless a gift in a very broken way" and that, when it comes down to it, a victim just has "to make the best out of a bad situation":

SANTORUM: Well, you can make the argument that if she doesn't have this baby, if she kills her child, that that, too, could ruin her life. And this is not an easy choice. I understand that. As horrible as the way that that son or daughter and son was created, it still is her child. And whether she has that child or doesn't, it will always be her child. And she will always know that. And so to embrace her and to love her and to support her and get her through this very difficult time, I've always, you know, I believe and I think the right approach is to accept this horribly created — in the sense of rape — but nevertheless a gift in a very broken way, the gift of human life, and accept what God has given to you. As you know, we have to, in lots of different aspects of our life. We have horrible things happen. I can't think of anything more horrible. But, nevertheless, we have to make the best out of a bad situation.
