Google To Rick Santorum: We Won’t Take Down Unsavory Search Results For Your Name

» 150 comments

GOP presidential hopeful Rick Santorum has, for a while now, had to contend with a rather unique PR problem: Dealing with columnist Dan Savage‘s overwhelmingly successful campaign to introduce a new, rather descriptive and very sexual meaning for his last name. The definition, which deals with a particularly messy side effect of partaking in anal sex, was established by Savage, long an outspoken gay rights activists, in response to Santorum’s stance and highly-publicized comments on homosexuality in general and same-sex marriage in particular.

Santorum recently tried to get Google to do away with the “double meaning” in its internet search results. Unfortunately for Santorum, Google responded to his request with a resounding “Nope,” and the alternate definition remains the top search result for both “santorum” and “Rick Santorum.”

Santorum, for one, believes there’s a double standard at play in Google’s decision, and told Politico as much:

I suspect if something was up there like that about Joe Biden, they’d get rid of it. If you’re a responsible business, you don’t let things like that happen in your business that have an impact on the country.

However, Google maintains that it is not in the business of removing or censoring search results with the exception of “very limited cases such as illegal content and violations of our webmaster guidelines.” The company went on to point out that Santorum’s does have another option: Contacting each site where the sexual definition of santorum is used and asking their individual webmasters to remove the offending word.

    not a fan of rick, but this dan savage is a piece of shit and hope  he  lives a long miserable life

  • http://mediamatters.org/ Leedog

    Lol!! Poor Santorum, he loses again!! The lesson learned here: Rick is not popular enough to give Google a second thought!! Though, if Sponge Bob had the same problem… Google would remove the results immediately!!

    I Googled it just or fun and the first result in came up “Butt Muncher”!! Go figure??

    The political slant at Google is well known.  And it’s not just the search engine.  Go see what news stories they give top slots to at Google News.  And that’s why Obama administration gave Google a free pass on antitrust scrutiny for their Motorola acquisition.  Imagined what would happen if Murdoch tried to make a deal like that in the US.

    He’s not, actually. He’s a gay rights activist.  He’s the creator of the “It Gets Better” project to help gay people feel comfortable in their own skin. 

    Santorum regularly belittled the lifestyle of Dan Savage and has said many reprehensible things regarding homosexuals and homosexuality.  Santorum is responsible, via his words, for Savage’s actions.  It’s just that Savage was significantly more intelligent than Santorum. 

    And when all is said and done, Santorum has a Google problem.  And it couldn’t have happened to a nicer, more repressed POS than Santorum.

    I say Savage completes the take-down and goes after “Rick”.

    Dan Savage is the hateful piece of shit that likes to spread his infectious bodily fluids all over door knobs and drinking vessels and everything else he thinks people will come into direct contact with so that he can make them sick with his illnesses.
     
    He’s also an extremely hateful, vulgar person who says that he’d like to anally rape people he doesn’t like.

    Of course, this makes him a leftist role model.

  • Anonymous

    of course you don’t buy that defense.  let me explicate for you:

    santorum demonized and vilified a population (LGBT). an activist of that population created a definition that gained relevance search-wise to the point it became #1 on Google.

    it also appears if you use Yahoo! or Bing as a search engine.  (try it)

    lesson: say what you want.  but be prepared to reap what you sow.

    well, i’m a straight female, so no wife. 

    that said, you’re comparison is absurd.  Santorum demonized people he doesn’t even know because of what?  Personal experience.  Oh, no.  Just that supernatural thing people call “God”.  He demonized a population and wants to suppress any rights to equality for that population.  How is that LESS reprehensible then Savage’s “response”? 

    And NOTHING Savage did is illegal.  Nothing Santorum did is illegal.  So Santorum has to suck it up.  And this can serve as a lesson to those who want to demonize a population – think before you speak.  Or be prepared for those who oppose your POV to take action against you. And like I said, couldn’t have happened to a more deserving POS.  Aside  from ego, has any harm come to Santorum? Nope.

    Anyone who spreads such filth in the culture, no matter the cause, is not a decent person, as you make Savage out to be in your argumentation above.  His actions should’ve been your first clue as to who was morally in the wrong here.  But then there’s this…

    He’s not, actually. He’s a gay rights activist.

    You state this as if the two were mutually exclusive.  Right from the get go, in the first sentence, there’s no reasoning with you.  He’s a gay rights activist and therefore, in your mind, can do no wrong.

    Wow.

    Santorum is a member of the Catholic church – an instituion that has allowed the rape of children, has protected the rapists, moving them to a new population of victims.

    Santorum got his free speech.  So did Savage.  But you’re just mad that Savage’s free speech and activism pwnd Santorum.  Why can’t you understand that Santorum brought this on himself time and time again?  Savage has done more for LGBT population than Santorum has done for *anyone*

    I won’t even dignify your rape comments.  I’m not a member of a political party that attempted to redefine “rape” regarding Title X. I’m not a member of a political party that thinks the female’s uterus is of less value than a man’s penis (Viagra, etc.).

    By not “dignifying” rape comments, avoidswork(precise name for a liberal) means that the argument is insurmountable!

    This is the opposite argument that liberals provide for the terrorist muslims! We cannot blame ALL muslims for the actions of a few “radical terrorist” muslims, yet avoidswork paints the ENTIRE CATHOLIC CHURCH and all of its MEMBERS with a broad brush and condemns them all because of a few rapist/homosexual/predatory priests!

    Amazing how that works, huh? Savage is a homosexual activist. THe liberals never use the term “gay-o-phobia” do they? Call a homosexual activist what it is.

    I condemn an INSTITUTION that allows the rape of children to go unpunished. And I condemn any members that would tithe that same institution instead of raging against it.  I would use my money as my voice to disavow it.  That doesn’t mean one has to disavow God, but they should care about protecting children above all.  But you’re apparently cool with it since it’s only a few rogue priests… 

    I didn’t dignify your assertion of stupid arguments for saying rape is okay.  It’s not (male or female).  But you tell me how our criminal justice system treats rape victims, child victims and the like. Your side likes to rage about a few false accusations against males as representative of how “women lie about rape”.

     It ain’t libs telling girls to not dress provocatively or you’re asking for it. It ain’t libs telling rape victims to have a baby because it’s God’s plan.  Nope, just RWers.

    No, I don’t believe Google ought to be in the business of cleansing or suppressing the internet of content and imagery to any applicant that happens along (BTW, how far down do I have to scroll to find those “offensive ones” of Michelle Obama?  My internet is a real dog right now, but there doesn’t seem to be a whole lot – far less than I would’ve supposed.).  But they can stop the clear abuse of their trend reporting as they do when matters directly affect themselves.  And that’s all this appears to be, a public campaign to manipulate Google trends so to besmirch the name of a public figure.  As opposed to reporting sites which happens to have offensive imagery of a political nature as part of its content and just so happens to be popular.  That’s the difference.

    So you think that Google is “all liberal and stuff”?

    I think a company that has to remind itself not to be evil in so public a fashion probably already knows it’s not to be trusted.  Their reputedly being a progressive friendly institution doesn’t at all help.  Their ‘playing ball’ with the Obama administration as felix_w points out above cements it.

    Only you and General “the nature freak” Zod would know that! What did Santorum say in 2003?
    A controversy arose following Santorum’s statements about homosexuality in an interview with the Associated Press that was published on April 20, 2003. In response to a question about how to prevent sexual abuse of children
    by priests, Santorum said the priests were engaged in “a basic
    homosexual relationship”, and went on to say that he had “[...] no
    problem with homosexuality. I have a problem with homosexual acts”; that
    the right to privacy, as detailed in Griswold v. Connecticut, “doesn’t exist in my opinion in the United States Constitution”; that, “whether it’s polygamy, whether it’s adultery, whether it’s sodomy, all of those things are antithetical to a healthy, stable, traditional family”; and that sodomy laws properly exist to prevent acts that “undermine the basic tenets of our society and the family”.

    So he was AGAINST the sodomy of children by homosexuals that infiltrated the priesthood! What? He had no problem with homosexuality? What? There are US Laws against it? Did Santorum pass those laws?

    I will take your word for it without conducting that search. Admit that it is a bullying tactic. You just happen to approve of it because Santorum’s a jerk. What about anyone else named Santorum?

Plus there is something to be said of the fact that a gay rights advocate would use the product of a homosexual act to stigmatize his opponent.

    The ironic thing about Savage’s childish behavior is that he certainly makes the “aftermath” of an act inherent to gay male sexual partners to be rather putrid, no? 

    I guess we can presume that many gay males (and straight males who engage in said behavior) have a bit of “Santorum” in them, or at least, on them. 

    That’s what reaping what you sew is really all about.  So while some kiddies get their jollies over this pathetic exercise, they really don’t quite understand that they are really making themselves look bad in the process. 

  • Anonymous

    Yeah, not sure if you want to go there.  That business that went unreported for so long regarding the Catholic Church and the rape of children was mostly owing to an undercurrent of homosexuality preexisting within Church borne from earlier times in which homosexuality was an anathema.  It’s was for the reason that gays could assume a position of authority over others that drew homosexuals to the priesthood.  There, they could occupy a strata of society in which their statuses as single, unattached males wouldn’t draw undue attention.  And from such unassailable positions, they could abuse their powers and younger, impressionable parishioners.

    The central issue to the Catholic Church rape scandals is by far more a “gay” thing than it is a “Catholic” thing.

    If the “Theory of Evolution” were proven, it would be a LAW, like the Law of Gravity and the Law of Relativity. The fossil record does not support evolution. We ought to find a colossal number of transitional organisms in the
    fossil record — for example, a squirrel on its way to becoming a bat,
    or a bear becoming a whale. (Those are actual Darwinian claims.) But that’s not what the fossil record shows. We don’t have fossils for
    any intermediate creatures in the process of evolving into something
    better. This is why the late Stephen Jay Gould of Harvard referred to
    the absence of transitional fossils as the “trade secret” of
    paleontology. (Lots of real scientific theories have “secrets.”)

    If you get your news from the American news media, it will come as a
    surprise to learn that when Darwin first published “On the Origin of
    Species” in 1859, his most virulent opponents were not fundamentalist
    Christians, but paleontologists.

    Unlike high school biology teachers lying to your children
    about evolution, Darwin was at least aware of what the fossil record
    ought to show if his theory were correct. He said there should be
    “interminable varieties, connecting together all the extinct and
    existing forms of life by the finest graduated steps.”
    And as he had admitted, these steps do not exist, and Darwin knew this was his fatal flaw in his theory.

    Funny how our Gregorian calender is based on the life and death of a guy called Jesus, huh? Who according to Godless liberals, did not exist!

    And babies are not evolving in trees with apes either, nor are they walking out of the sea as transformed tadpoles. Nor has anyone located the primordial goo spurring all creation. Nor are there new species evolving right before our eyes.

    Not being a rapist, or involved with rapists, I have no idea how the criminal justice system treats rape victims. But I have seen how Slick Willey called all of his trailer trash rape victims liars! Didn’t Hillary say it was a “vast right-wing conspiracy” against Slick Willey, abandoning her sisterhood? Santorum feels the same exact way you do about the homosexual, predatory, rapist, sodomite priests. Yet no one here realizes that. You liberals seem to agree that what Savage is doing to Santorum is ok based on your feelings and hatred for the right, when you displayed no hatred for Slick Willey!

    Funny how you will not condemn islam, as an INSTITUTION that subjugates women, kills homosexuals like Savage, and is actively working to destroy Israel and America bu the use of terrorism!

    Telling women how to dress? ow about women being responsible for their actions and their own safety? Maybe they should acquire a license to carry a firearm! It is their Constitutional right. Maybe you want to check those facts on rapists too. How many are let go to re-offend by liberals?

    Have you been to any city public school system and paid attention to how the females dress themselves? Where are the parents? Babydaddy “ain’t” around, and babymomma “ain’t” interested! Have you seen the day care centers at the school for the kids of the girls who dress provocatively? It wasn’t God’s plan for them to spit out kids before marriage, which is better than killing an innocent and unborn victim of the “girl’s” actions. Why do liberals enjoy and justify killing the unborn?

    What “rights” again, are you all up in a tizzy over?  Nobody is telling you who you can’t bugger, unless you have your eyes on kids.  The right to be loud and objectionable, if that’s it, isn’t exactly enumerated, but would probably fall under the 1st Amendment.  And nobody is screwing with that.  Except maybe college ‘liberals’ and their attacks on the free speech of college conservatives.  The rights to redefine a fundamental human social institution, then, for your personal convenience?  Redefine it for all people, that is, for equality under the law already exists for everybody.

    Regarding Racism, man you are naive. How old are you? Seriously. You are stereotyping the 1980′s. BTW I said 1971. I am 40 years old. Have you ever been to the deep South? Regarding music, where I grew up the most popular music was country music, not the music you mentioned (for Whites at least) I grew up in small town Florida, not St Marks Square NYC or Seattle WA. I was not in danger in my small town (Blacks unfortunatly were sometimes), but  riots did take place in Florida (Liberty City, multiple riots when R.K was shot, St Pete FL riot, etc) Interracial dating was taboo at my high school and fights would break out when it happened (changed rapidity at the school after graduation).

    America is a diverse place. your experience was not mine. Considering we live in a country of 310 million people on half a continent this is to be expected.

    That’s a matter of opinion, which you of course are entitled to.

    I strongly disagree… as does a growing percentage of the population…. as does the younger 35 and below generation overwhelmingly.

    Sexuality is every bit as innate as a person’s race and this is supported by every reputable health in mental health organization around.

    I am aware of the a lot of The African American Community feeling that way and I find that sad, they don’t have a monopoly on civil rights and of all people should know what it feels like to be treated as second class citizens, that’s not to say that LGBT people have it as badly as they did… we clearly don’t, this however isn’t a contest and discrimination is discrimination and intolerance intolerance.

    Also make no mistake, they don’t all feel that way.

    “Gay and lesbian people have families, and their families should have
    legal protection, whether by marriage or civil union,” she said. “A
    constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriages is a form of
    gay
    bashing and it would do nothing at all to protect traditional
    marriages.”

    Coretta Scott King

    For too long, our nation has tolerated the insidious form of
    discrimination against this group of Americans, who have worked as hard
    as any other group, paid their taxes like everyone else, and yet have
    been denied equal protection under the law…I believe that freedom and
    justice cannot be parceled out in pieces to suit political convenience.
    My husband, Martin Luther King, Jr. said, “Injustice anywhere is a
    threat to justice everywhere.” On another occasion he said, “I have
    worked too long and hard against segregated public accommodations to end
    up segregating my moral concern. Justice is indivisible.” Like Martin, I
    don’t believe you can stand for freedom for one group of people and
    deny it to others.

    Coretta Scott King

    Now three quotes from Julian Bond, former Chairman of The NAACP

    That’s when I’m asked if gay rights are civil rights, my answer is always: “Of course they are.””Gay
    and lesbian rights are not special rights in any way. It isn’t special
    to be free from discrimination. It is an ordinary, universal entitlement
    of citizenship. The right not to be discriminated against is a
    commonplace claim we all expect to enjoy under our laws and our founding
    document, the constitution. That many had to struggle to gain those
    rights does make them precious, but it does not make them special. And
    it does not reserve them only for me, or restrict them from others. And
    they should never be subject to popular votes.”

    “For
    some people, comparisons between the African-American civil rights
    movement and the movement for gay and lesbian rights seems to diminished
    the long, black historical struggle with all its suffering, sacrifices,
    and endless toil. However, people of color ought to be flattered that
    our movement has provided so much inspiration for others, that has been
    so widely imitated, that our tactics, our methods, our heroes, our
    heroines, even our songs, have served as models for others.”

    “No
    parallel between movements is exact. African-Americans are the only
    Americans who were enslaved for more than two centuries. And people of
    color carry the badge of who we are on our faces. But we are far from
    the only people suffering discrimination. Sadly, so do many others. They
    deserve the law’s protection and civil rights, too.”

    Shut up Zod.
    “A few years ago, this guy would have been getting us coffee,” Cinton told the liberal lion, Ted “the Chappaquiddick Kid” Kennedy from Massachusetts.Kennedy was deeply offended and recounted the conversation to friends with fury. After Kennedy sided with Obama, Clinton reportedly griped, “the only reason you are endorsing him is because he’s black. Let’s just be clear.”

    “Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada described in private then-Sen. Barack Obama as “light skinned” and “with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one.”

    As for homosexuals:
    Despite the fact that both the Senate and the House in Iowa failed in attempts to bring a constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage up for a vote last week, four Democratic state senators have since signed on with anti-gay forces, the Iowa Independent reports:  “Four Democratic state senators — Dennis Black of Grinnell, Keith Kreiman of Bloomfield, Rich Olive of Story City and Joe Seng of Davenport — broke with their party and signed on to a Republican petition to force a vote on same-sex marriage.”

    Jim “I am a homosexual American” McGreevey suggested that President Obama and the First Lady don’t share the same views on homosexual marriage and then said, “If he (the President) could only listen to Michelle more often” when it comes to his stance on same-sex marriage. The White House quickly shot down the suggestion and made clear that Michelle supports her husband’s position against homosexual marriage. —Politico

    Hillary Clinton has the same stance on homosexual marriage as her predecessor Condi Rice and former Vice President Dick Cheney!

    Laura Bush supports homosexual marriage!

    “Rick Santorum keeps a framed photo of his son Gabriel Michael, the fourth of his
    seven children. Named for two archangels, Gabriel Michael was born
    prematurely, at 20 weeks, on Oct. 11, 1996, and lived two hours outside
    the womb.

    Upon their son’s death, Rick and Karen Santorum opted not to bring his body to a funeral home. Instead, they bundled him in a blanket and drove him to Karen’s
    parents’ home in Pittsburgh. There, they spent several hours kissing and
    cuddling Gabriel with his three siblings, ages 6, 4 and 1 1/2. They
    took photos, sang lullabies in his ear and held a private Mass.

    He and Karen brought Gabriel’s body home so their children could “absorb and understand that they had a brother,”

    Hey, Civil Rights were the cornerstone of the black community and instrumental in forcing southern democrats to accept blacks as humans, and we even fought a war over it. Homosexuality is NOT a civil right, no matter how you try to spin it in your defective liberal mind. Blacks were not considered to be fully human, and no one has made that claim against homosexuals. Homosexuals are free to marry. They are free to vote. They are free to drink from any bubbler they choose. They have never had to sit in the back of the bus. They have never been lynched by democrat klansmen. They have never been sold into slavery.

    It is not a contest, nor is it the equivalent, yet homosexuals always attempt to equate personal sexual preferences to the struggle for civil rights, and that is wrong. Destroyng the religious implications of marriage institution is the homosexual agenda, as is the goal of destroying the military institution. Those institutions have capitulated to the agenda. What will homosexuals feel slighted about next?

    The NAACP was started by white folks. Mary White Ovington, journalist William English Walling and Henry Moskowitz, a Jew, met in New York City in January 1909 and the NAACP was born. Again, “typical white folks” looking out for their brothers.

    NO PARALLEL exists between civil rights and homosexual demands for marriage equality. And why is it that homosexuals have to throw their sexuality in everyone’s way? How about doing it in a mosque? There would be plenty of blacks there who would share your sensibilities… They may even want to stone you to death, as their religion of peace demands. I suggest that you take on the muslims and force them to “lean forward” on your homosexual agenda… But please, record it for us to see…

    Using Santorum’s bible to look up Sodom and Gomorrah… Oh here it is…
    Sodom and Gomorrah have also been used as metaphors for vice and homosexuality viewed as a deviation. The story has therefore given rise to words in several languages, including the English word “sodomy”, used in so-called sodomy laws to describe a sexual “crime against nature” consisting of oral or anal sex, either homosexual or heterosexual.Guess God fought back against the deviant homosexuals, huh? In quite a funny way! Fire and brimstone!

    Well, looked at the comments here, and most seem to be missing the point, or resorting to deplorable ad hominem attacks. The simple truth is that Google dominates the sector it competes in. It cannot and should not engage in censorship unless the speech is in violation o f the law. On a practical note, think of the precedent this would set, deleting offensive speech. It cannot do this practically, and it should not do it morally. Freedom of speech means tolerating speech that is offensive. Here, though, we have an individual (Santorum) who equated the recognition of gays rights to marry with a slippery slope argument that we would soon be forced to recognize marriages between people and goats. This is patently absurd as are most slippery slope arguments. Santorum chose to engage in a fight, and he is getting his fight. He has no more right to demand Google remove this post than any other person, celebrity, politician, or common man.  Welcome to America, one of the few countries to recognize unfettered free speech. We should applaud their actions, not because Dan Savage’s comments are desirable, but because we should not engage in censorship more generally. Dan Savage’s attack is disgusting, but it is free speech. I am thankful that the Google recognizes and protects free speech, but I also understand that the practicality of censoring this speech is simply impractical from a business standpoint. BTW, as to the Law of Gravity, no one, even Newton could prove it. We know it is there by implication derived from observations, but we have yet to find gravitons, or define precisely the force responsible for gravity. In science, there are rarely absolutes, or laws. What we have are the product of probabilities, i.e. something, a proposition, is more probable than not, defined within what are known as confidence intervals. We cannot say man is responsible for global warming conclusively. What we can say is that it is much, much more probable than not. This is about as good as it gets in science. I for one would prefer to live in a world that embraces science over mysticism. So, in short, flat-landers please shut up so we can try and make our world a better, safer place. I won’t name names, but you dummies know who I am referring to.

    I do not like to engage in ad hominem attacks, but I am curious which version of the bible did Calcat36 read? Your remarks are vile, and totally non-christian. Christ believed in turning the other cheek, and he advocated ideas which are far more liberal than conservative. I personally despise both parties, but I am sincerely confused at how the people who claim to be Christian so easily accept and engage in vile attacks. Do you really think the sick, twisted comments you have stated here would be acceptable to Jesus? He was a profound moral influence on our culture. His teachings were fascinating, and made more fascinating by the circumstances he found himself enduring. I cannot possibly think that such a profound, pacifist character such as Jesus would condone your vile commentary. I urge you to revisit the bible, to rethink the hate you engage in, and to accept Jesus into your heart. I assure you he would not look favorably upon the anger and hatred you so readily embrace. You are a hypocrite, and a Christian in name alone, not in practice. Please go back to church. You have failed to embrace Jesus’ thoughts and beliefs. Jesus preached against hatred, while you embrace it. How does your mind reconcile this obvious contradiction? I hate to engage in conjecture, but I suspect you have a high school education at best, and you probably didn’t do well there in any event. Please, find peace. Please listen to what Jesus really said. If you did so, you would be ashamed of yourself. Pour on the anonymous hate, I’m sure your god would approve.

    I don’t believe there’s any reason to resort to lying, deceit, or intellectual dishonesty. God made everything! And his handiwork, according to the Bible, shows his glory; it doesn’t take away from it!

    Santorum is allowed his free speech.. an individual cannot infringe on another’s free speech.. and there is no constitutional protection from someone giving you crap for your viewpoint.. the constitution only protects people from the government infringing on your right to speak how you feel.  But, if you open your mouth you better be prepared for someone doing something about it that you may not like.

    No one is saying Santorum is responsible for Savage’s actions.  And it’s wasn’t Savage that created the definition that he popularized.. it was a reader that entered a contest on Savage’s online Savage Love web page.  The readers voted and that definition won the contest.  All Savage did was provide the web space for the new definition of Santorum.

    You failed to provide any links in support of what Santorum said
    that was “evil” – not even to a site that skewed the context for you.. 
    Instead, you provided a characterization of your own construct, as well as repeating the allegation.  Try again.

    “Normal familial relationships” has almost universally translated into the paired-gender, monogamous family.  Formed in every culture; even those in which natural geographic barriers prevented casual cultural contact.  And in any case, transsexualism is not ‘a familial relationship’ so much as it is a style of dress and gender roles that may or may not indicate sexual preferences, though I see a conference in 1990 (influenced by the modern pushers of the gay agenda?  Oh, I think maybe so) decided otherwise.  Have gays existed?  To have said otherwise was not a contention anyone made.  So were gay relationships in native cultures the norm?  No.  You are confusing your arguments.

    Once more, there’s no such thing as “gay marriage” which can exist side by side with “hetero marriages.”  That’s double-think.  Marriage is a concept by itself, not something that can be divided at will.  Let’s try such out in regards to other “institutions.”  How about the institution of “gay slavery” and “hetero slavery.”  Is there a philosophical difference?  No.  Any person existing under bondage is a slave.  You may as well try to get away with “left-handed marriages” as a separate concept.  Its ridiculous.

    If by “attack” you mean point out when you spout nonsense, I’m afraid you’ll have to take your chances.

    You’ll also have to take the chance that when you “comment to Google” they don’t actually pay attention to you.

    Trust me, they don’t.

    Especially when you — who if I’m not mistaken have not founded and are not running a multimultibillion-dollar enterprise — attempt to define “good judgment” for them. I’m pretty sure they trust their judgment over yours. I know I do.

    I’m still trying to puzzle out “If I do not address you, consider yourself invisible.” Are you trying to wish me into nonexistence? You’ll find that type of magical thinking is about as effective as your threat to assault me from your keyboard.

    Does your family know you have these sorts of fantasies? I think you might want to talk to someone about that.

    NOW I want to get the beeper number of your supplier.

    I’d call it an act of defiance against a bully rather than bullying behavior. Santorum’s voice reached much further than Savage’s did. Rick was the bully.

    With regard to the actual stigmatization of Santorum (random thought: I’d think someone of Santorum’s ilk would *luuuuve* stigmatization — what would prove his worthiness to lead better? But that’s just me.) … in any case, it’s perfectly apt to name the scorned person with something they scorn. That’s what makes the joke so perfect.

    Being hoist by one’s own petard — in this case his own big-mouthed bigotry — is the ideal punishment for the crime.

    You are really sick.   What I meant is don’t address me and annoy me, but I can take care of this myself. I did not sign up for Disqus, and I’m wasting my time responding to people who are only here to insult people.   I was going to contact Disqus to ask them to remove me from Disqus, but I came up with a better idea….I am giving you full custody of http://www.mediate.com. I don’t evem want visitation rights.  I guarantee you I’m going to take America back in spite of people like you.  Count on it.

    Mediaite Mods! Did you notice that Delores Smith (above) has granted me “full custody” of Mediaite?

    This is great! How do I tell you where to send the money? (You do make *some* money, I trust.)

    For all of you who support Savage’s clearly disturbed & devious behavior…what’s your last name?  How about your grandma’s?  So now by some people’s logic we can post websites that harass people in sexually vile ways if we disagree with them?  Can we post sexually explicit signs in front of their house?  It’s the world wide web and hundreds of people have the last name Santorum.  Please research Savage thoroughly before you elevate him to your idol.

    Nice try, but not many are naive enough to buy this sort of demagoguery, I trust.

    Quid pro quo does makes sense, but only when the actions in question are of the same sort: you punch me, I punch you back, it’s self defense. You yell at me, I punch you, it is not self defense.

    This utterly simple fact immediately eliminates your nonsensical comparison to a woman raped because she wore a short skirt and a couple others. Santorum’s whining is more akin to a woman complaining because when she wore a short skirt, someone else wore an even shorter skirt. Or maybe an equally short one, but their legs were much more attractive.

    You are also BSing about Lewisky; she was not a victim in any sense; she wanted something and got it. Granted, given that what she wanted was to do the president, and given who was president at the time, that was hardly a difficult task, but still, she succeeded.

    Now my own two cents aimed at those who side with Santorum: Santorum says homosexuals are evil, he actively tries to deny them basic human rights, would, for example, deny them the right to get citizenship for their loved ones, visit them in hospital when they are dying, adopt a baby, and over a 1,000 more specific rights.

    And Dan Savage is making fun of him. Oh boohoo.

    And you and your ilk keep fussing about one of these two people being unsavory, and I don’t know what the hell kind of short circuit there must be in your brains that you somehow pick not the guy who would vilify and persecute innocent humans, but rather the one who talks back at him.
