Dan Savage Threatens To Redefine ‘Rick’ If Santorum Does Not ‘Behave’ In The 2012 Election Cycle

video
» 84 comments

Sex columnist Dan Savage has no intention of letting Rick Santorum get away with being a third-tier Presidential candidate who opposes gay marriage. After a decades long assault on the word “Santorum” (it has now, through Google, been turned into a gay sex euphemism), Savage released a video warning that he has brand new definitions for “Rick” at the ready should the former senator say something offensive enough about the LGBT community.

The video, whose threat is somewhat diminished by the fact that it was released over the Funny or Die network, features a Liberty University-clad Savage warning that he already has a fully-loaded weapon up his sleeve: a grotesque definition for the word “Rick” to match that of his last name. This, of course, means that Savage has taken all sorts of people hostage, everyone with the first name, several of which plead with Santorum to “behave” else their names will be correlated to the definition, too.

In the funniest bit of the video, even Conan mainstay Andy Richter shows up to plead with Santorum, as “the new definition is so disgusting that even having the sound ‘rick’ in the first half of my last name is scaring me.” The definition is never said in full, as most of the grossest stuff is appropriately bleeped out, but it sounds like both genders and several bodily fluids are involved. It’s not really necessary to know what the details are. “The ball is in your court,” Savage concludes, “and it’s not like you can start going by Dick Santorum, is it?”

So what did Santorum do this time to trigger Savage’s wrath? That seems to be the bit of mystery here. Sure, Santorum responded viscerally to Savage’s comments about wanting to “fuck the shit out of him” on Real Time with Bill Maher a couple of weeks back, but it shouldn’t be news to Savage that the man whose online reputation he destroyed thinks that he is “vulgar and disgusting and hate-filled.” And a lot has changed in the decade since Santorum compared homosexuality to bestiality– enough that he has toned down his anti-gay rhetoric significant and even handled a couple of man-to-man affection situations in stride.

That’s not to say that the comment that originally triggered this bizarre war wasn’t thoroughly offensive, or that Santorum’s attitude towards the LGBT community is, at best, suspect. But after a while, being vulgar and silly stops being a viable attention-getting mechanism for serious causes– especially against a candidate that has negligible support and a ghost of a chance of being on the radar in any of the 2012 primaries. Just as those who are inclined by outdated religious teachings to view the LGBT community as inferior gain no enlightenment from watching people dressed in leopard costumes throw glitter at politicians, so too will no one inclined to agree with Santorum find themselves more likely to oppose his views because a sex columnist decided the tired old joke “The Aristocrats” would be his new political bludgeon.

    Yeah…and Santorum’s kids have to live with this…you fucking idiot…as does everyone else named Santorum.

    This is the kind of person that the little blithering idiot Martel thinks is a righteous crusader.

    Dan Savage “apologized” on his blog after saying that he wanted to murder all Republicans, writing that his daddy was a Republican and he felt bad for possibly upsetting him.

    Let me let you on a little secret Savage. I’m sure your father started hating you a loooong time ago.

    Imagine how proud his father is that his son is responsible for Santorum’s children now having to deal with the fact that the #1 result of a Google search describes their family name as …

    ” the frothy mix of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the byproduct of anal sex.”

    I’m sure he tells that story to his golfing buddies over and over again. And, Savage’s father’s eyes probably just welled up with pride when he saw his boy on Maher’s show moaning that he wanted to anally rape Rick Santorum.

    As a gay libertarian I don’t necessarily like Dan Savage’s actions.

    You don’t win people over by personal attacks and gimmicks.

    You win people over by convincing them they’re wrong. 

    If you can’t convince them, then you’ve already lost.

    Also, Rick Santorum should hire an SEO firm to work on his off-page seo.

    What Dan Savage has done here hurts gay people more than it helps,

    Because it will only humor those already on his side, and anger those who are not.

    I’m glad when Rick’s kids Google his name they will be able to find out how terrible of person their father is. Maybe when they understand how wrong he is to think gays are on the same level as dogs they will be able to break out of the undoubtedly evil things he has told them behind closed doors. I hope they can.

    He says this shit on the record, can you imagine how bigioted he is behind closed doors?

    You guys don’t watch the news or something?

    Or do you just agree with the anti-gays?

    For myself,I really enjoyed that sketch.

    There are anti-gay organizations out there with political power trying everyday to outlaw those people and rule their personal life,and you’re complaining about this?…Like Savage is the bad guy?

    Is there actually a story here?

    On the one hand, my basic feeling towards Santorum is “meh.” That’s because he seems like an earnest and “okay” kind of guy — the kind of guy that could be your neighbor, with his wife and kids and dog and what not. And yes, there was a time when he convinced enough voters to make him a Senator…but that part of his career is long over, and now he’s simply one of the lesser candidates walking around Iowa kissing babies and eating apple pie.

    Basically, Santorum’s remaining claim to fame seems to be showing up on Greta Van Sustren’s show every so often, to voice some Republican talking point…and that’s about it. So he’s running for President… he has zero chance of winning… which brings me full circle to saying “meh” since there’s really nothing there to get all worked up about.

    And then there’s Dan Savage.

    In his case, I have no real interest in what this guy is about…what he stands for…what he believes in. I get that those on the Left think he’s some kind of media darling because he’s willing to say outrageous things about anyone on the Right. And I get that he’s a gay activist who likes to draw attention to himself by being a major dick. No pun intended!

    So we’ve got a guy that’s “okay”, but is bland and “meh”…and a guy that’s an arrogant self-promoter, who gets his rocks off by purposefully trying to piss people off. And who loves to flaunt his boy toy sexuality in people’s faces, even though they couldn’t give two sh*ts about it.

    Maybe it’s just me, but given all of the problems we have to deal with, I can’t see any reason to give either of these guys much attention. Well…not unless it’s an incredibly slow news day. And even then, I’m sure we could find a story about a little girl and her pet turtle in a box, which would still be far MORE interesting!

    How are gays persecuted – mind telling me.

    So it’s ok to bully someone who doesn’t agree with you.  What kind of moronic behaviour is that – for an adult?????

    Tell me about the charming gays who ruined a visit with kids to Disneyland with their behaviour and gross, disgusting t-shirts.  Explain that to 5 year olds and tell me they didn’t deserve contempt!
    Disneyland forgot to mention it was a gay get together that weekend – how special!

    Don’t care what the hell you do in the comfort of your own home or club – I don’t appreciate watching straights  mauling each other – so why would I give gays a pass for that behaviour.

    I love dan savage. seriously, even if you are a gay-bashing conservative, you have to admit that the “dick santorum” line was hilarious. And also, to any conservatives who think dan savage is just some gay guy who makes fun of republicans, know that hes the guy who created the “it gets better” program. Its for kids who get beat up and made fun of because there gay. I know you conservatives probably hate this too, because i’m sure your the ones who were persecuting gay people when you were younger, but its a great program I know conservatives hate the idea of equality and treating others with diginity and respect, but imagine if a gay person compared catholic priests to child molesters, oh wait never mind they are child molesters, sorry bad analogy.

    Fair point, thats actually one of my biggest gripes with obama, that he hasn’t done nearly enough for gay rights, although to give him credit he helped end don’t ask dont tell. I would argue though theat the main reason he would end the defense against marriage act is because hes afraid of the negative backlash from conservatives, not because he hates them. But then again i dont what goes in his mind so i could be wrong. I must say though, i was being hypocritical there and you called me on it so kudos, and i mean that genuinely not sarcastically

    Personally, I’m all for gay marriage.  I don’t like the idea of the government telling me who I can and can’t marry.

    See, this is the kind of “want it both ways” nonsense that drives people crazy. You start off with a direct point, to clarify something…

    >> “He didn’t say he wanted to kill all republicans, he said he wished they
    all would die, big difference.”

    Well, actually it’s only a SLIGHT difference. I wouldn’t qualify it as “big,” but that’s a whole other debate. All the same, you make your point and then you even admit it was a BAD thing for Savage to say…

    >> “I agree its still tasteless, but there’s a
    difference.”

    Okay — so far, so good. You STARTED by trying to clarify a point…you admit, all the same, that it was a BAD thing to say…but unfortunately THEN you undercut all the good will you were building by tossing in the aside…

    >> “And can you really blame him…”

    Uh…yeah…actually I can. For saying all of the idiotic things that he does — in such a bitter, belligerent way — I CAN blame him for being an arrogant, loud-mouthed jerk. And you were doing sooooo good to start. You building bridges. But once you tossed in that aside, essentially it means that what you’re REALLY saying is: “Yeah, what Savage said was bad. But can you blame him? After all, he’s RIGHT..”

    And that’s where you lost a lot of people.  Then again, you pulled the same bullsh*t in your original post, where you were intelligently trying to explain something…you started off with a good point…but THEN you fell into the exact same trap. For whatever reason, you just HAD to take the cheap shot by saying: “Imagine if a gay person compared catholic priests to child molesters. Oh
    wait, never mind, they are child molesters. Sorry bad analogy

    Friendly tip for you: present your well-stated arguments, you do a good job to start, but leave your copycat Dan Savage bitterness at home. Trust me, it’s NOT going to win you any points in a debate.

  • Anonymous

    First off, dont patronize me. I dont care about you and your debate tips. I’ve gotten through life without you’re wisdom and i’m doing just fine. not to mention, its snarky and pretty annoying.

    Second, i stand by my argument that catholics are pedophiles and/or pedophile enablers. I’ve read something in the news at least twice a month for the past decade about either catholic priests molesting children or catholic churches harboring and protecting those that do molest children. how can syou defend that? are you honestly trying to stick up for pedophiles? seriously what is wrong with you?

    third, you think dan savage is bitter, belligerent, arrogant and a loud mouth. thats because you dont like gay people. dan is one of millions of gay kids who was raised in a society that doesn’t tolerate gays. he was beat up him, spit on and relentlessly ridiculed for being gay. Now that hes an adult, instead of high-school bullies, he has fundamentalist conservative christians to assume that role. Basically, the conservative point of view on gays is that gay people dont deserve that same rights as straight people because there gay. 

    Which brings me my point that you conveniently left out of your rebuttal, which is that it may be wrong to wish death upon people, but thats its understandable why someone would feel that way. Maybe i didn’t express that clear enough. Back in slavery days, it would have been completely understandable why a black person would wish death upon a white person, because white people were the ones oppresing blacks. Back in the 40′s, it would have been completely understandable why a jewish person would wish death upon a nazi, because nazi’s were the ones oppressing jews. In south africa, it would have been completely understandable why a black person would wish death upon a white person, because white people were the ones oppressing them. In egypt, its completely understandable for the people to wish death upon hozni mubarack, because he oppressed them for decades. And its completely understandable why gay people would wish death upon certain straight people, becuase those certain straight people are oppressing gays by continuing to fight to limit their rights. They also are the ones who have allowed our society to be tolerant of gay bashing for so long

    Say for instance you grew up in the south, where there are many fundamentalist christians. If you went to church and were told that gay people were sinful, disgusting, evil people, then you would probably feel comfortable beating them up and persecuting in your community. To dan savage, fundamentalist christian conservatives have helped foster this type of societal disdain for homosexuality, which still permeates many aspects of our political system and culture at large today. That is why i find it understandable, not benevolent or righteous, that dan savage would wish death upon republicans.

    I await your rebuttal

    Santorum’s comments and views on gays have contributed directly to a climate in which gay people in this country and around the world are being killed. He has helped to dehumanize gay people, which makes it easier for others to justify violence against them and call for their persecution.

    Dan Savages comments have not led to anyone’s death, they’ve just exposed Santorum for the biggot he is and shows how damaging hateful words can be to the receiving party. A bit of just-desserts that was well deserved.

    I’d like to point out that Rick Santorum is a public figure who by the nature of his seeking office is open to any and all criticism–no matter how distasteful that criticism might appear to some. He is also an adult man with ample resources and confidence.  The young LGBT youth that the It Gets Better project target are anonymous, everyday teenagers who are routinely ridiculed, bullied and attacked for just being who they are.Furthermore, if Santorum’s statements, policies or allegiances give comfort to those bullies, then he should be held responsible publicly for his positions.
