Rick Santorum Cites "God Hates Fags"

Hysterical, self-loathing closet case Rick Santorum will seemingly do anything to remain in the public eye as he moves towards another insane presidential campaign, the real purpose of which may be to keep himself on the speaker circuit and maintain a nice income rolling in.  Now, Santorum while appearing on Face the Nation has used the "God Hates Fags" slogan of the late Fred Phelps to (i) justify license to discriminate laws, and (ii) stay in the media eye.  The man is an utter douche bag and demonstrates how religious brainwashing can literally make one crazy.  The Raw Story looks at Santorum's new low.  Here are highlights:

Likely Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum on Sunday quoted Westboro Church’s infamous “God Hates Fags” slogan in defense of an Indiana law that allowed Christian businesses to discriminate against same-sex couples. 

“I think the current language that the federal law is — and now Indiana is — has been held to have a pretty limited view of religious liberty — religious freedom is in the workplace,” the former Pennsylvania senator insisted. “And I think we need to look at, as religious liberty is now being pushed harder, to provide more religious protections, and that bill doesn’t do that.”

Santorum argued that wedding planners should not be forced to serve same-sex couples because “tolerance is a two-way street.”  “If you’re a print shop and you are a gay man, should you be forced to print ‘God Hates Fags’ for the Westboro Baptist Church because they hold those signs up?” he asked. “Should the government — and this is really the case here — should the government force you to do that?”

“And that’s what these cases are all about.
However, Sarah Warbelow of the Human Rights Campaign told O’Donnell that Santorum seemed to misunderstand the law. 

“The legislation would have done no such thing,” she said. “It explicitly allowed individuals to use their religious beliefs to undermine other types of laws that provide protection, not only against gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people, but against other religious minorities and in some instances, against African-Americans and Asian-Americans.”

I wish someone would "out" Santorum and remove him from the political stage once and for all.
