Hunter Rick Santorum Gushes To Fox News About His Son’s First Kill

video
» 89 comments

Rick Santorum probably got the shortest holiday vacation of any 2012 Republican candidate– and he proved it by showing up live tonight to On the Record (for tonight, with Shannon Bream). Bream opened up the conversation by pointing out precisely this– that Santorum didn’t seem to get much of a break, but he denied it by pointing out the lovely time he had with his children hunting pheasant.

The natural question, then, to Bream, was “How’d you do?” and Santorum had some good news on this from. “I did great! Anytime you’re out hunting, it’s a great time,” he responded, adding that he personally got about four of them. He couldn’t help feeling a bit of pride as well, as “my son got his first bird!” a sentence that would probably mean something a little less wholesome from a British dad.

Santorum in full dad mode via Fox News below:

    Occupy Nashville Forced To Explain Fist Fight On Christmas Day

    This warm sentiment was slightly eroded by the image of two women going at it during the Christmas celebrations…..
    Oh, and the one in green is reportedly pregnant.

    Merry Christmas Antonio .

    Speaking of Muslims and killing:

    2011.12.26 (Baghdad, Iraq) – Seven people are
    blown to bits by a Shahid suicide car bomber.

     2011.12.25 (Mosul, Iraq) – Muslim snipers pick off
    a Christian just outside his home.

    2011.12.25 (Talaqan, Afghanistan) – Two dozen
    mourners at a funeral are sent to Allah by a Fedayeen
    suicide bomber.

    2011.12.25 (Madalla, Nigeria) – Religion of Peace
    bombers strike a Catholic church during a morning
    Christmas mass, slaughtering three dozen
    worshippers.

    2011.12.25 (Jos, Nigeria) – Muslim militants fire
    on a protestant church, killing a guard.

    December 26,2011
    LAGOS, Nigeria — Terror attacks across Nigeria by a radical Muslim sect
    killed at least 39 people Sunday, with the majority dying on the steps
    of a Catholic church after celebrating Christmas Mass as blood pooled in
    dust from a massive explosion.

    Thanks for reminding us Rufrig.

    BTW, there is a difference between hunting pheasants and hunting people.

    I have killed 2 yummy deer so far this season.  Killed and ate several tasty doves. The turkey i harvested last spring were very good on my table for thanksgiving and christmas. Good job Santorum for teaching your son the value of being and outdoorsman. People like us will be who libs are whining to for meat when they cant buy it.

    Like unborn babies? Oh wait, humans don’t count as creatures unless they’re born black, kill a white cop, and learn to write poetry. You must be thrilled Mumia got his death sentence overturned, too bad the people he killed won’t get such a reprieve.

    Congratulations on being able to copy and paste different tragedies committed in the middle east and try to tie that to an entire people. But I’m beginning to see your point.
    The Mooslims hate us because we are free and prosperous. If this is your view, than it makes perfect sense that you would support the neo-cons. They also share this point of view and are working hard night and day to make your free by stripping your social and economic freedoms away from you so that you will be safer.

    Oh yeah? And what are liberal family values? Let your child get a sex change at 11? Ignore your teenager so he dies of a drug overdose or shoots his classmates? Buy alcohol for your underage kids? Be a teacher who sleeps with her students? Raise your kid without God so he ends up discovering Islam, becomes radicalized, and fights against his own countrymen? Thank God for Republican family values, much better than your soy-latte frapuchino alternative and your tofurkeys.

    I’m 36 and in my life I’ve only met ONE born-again Christian conservative who was anti-hunting. Sorry Jayson (your mother should have named you Jason by the way) but the exception does not make the rule. Now go back to kissing Obama’s ass, LOL.

    So you’re pro-life..Bet you’re for the death penalty too. Even when there was no DNA evidence to prove his guilt.

    Jayson is an American variation of Joshua. Meaning the “Lord Is Salvation”. Your name is Greek, try changing it to an American name.

    Antonio, I’m a right winger, and I don’t speak for everyone…But I’m glad I raise my own meat, we eat what we catch, and when we hunt, we proudly cut up and haul out the game, to eat.

    You have no fathom of thought as to what goes into your stomach…You expect everything to be perfectly packaged and neat, and not get your hands bloodied or dirtied…You are a pussy. 

    When you talk about filthy trash, look in the mirror.

    The stupidest comment I’ve read so far…

    I raise birds, they are caged, and we don’t shoot them…And, the birds we raise are NOT an “easy” kill…

    Try holding a 24 pound turkey, after you’ve cut its neck off…Try it.

    Well, at least we republicans have values…

    It all starts with life. Thats why we have families.

    As a mother of three, I can guarantee you, I NEVER thought of my unborn baby as a fetus.

    Ever.

    And. When I’ve had the pregnancy check on my mares (horses, for you city folk), again…Never thought of those growing babies as fetuses…

    Fetus is just a word, to make it palatable for you to have an abortion…You know, to kill. And, obviously, all you libs here are against “killing”-at least when it comes to something you can eat.

    No, they don’t. No one ‘gushes’ about abortion. Notice that he is proud of it.

    Another clueless comment. I hunt and kill animals because it is something that has been going on and taught for centuries. I would never kill another human unless they were threatening me or my family. It cracks me up to hear and/or read people against hunting and owning guns try to say that hunters are “messed up” and other descriptions to justify their ideas. Most hunters take care of and give back to more people than bleeding hearts ever thought about.

    No you are just talking fear and irrational hatred for those you don’t understand. but you should as who it profits? have you profited from the 10 years of war? have the veterans who have lost limb and life profited? Are we as Americans more or less free today? more or less prosperous? do those who make bombs and bullets profit? do the bankers who lend money to both sides profit?

    Which side are you on?
