Rick Santorum’s Anal Sex Problem

So much poetic justice in the world of far Right fucktards today, isn’t there? First the good news about anti-Islamic hate blogger Pamela Geller getting served with a well-deserved lawsuit alleging character defamation, then this hilarious news about Republican idiot Rick Santorum’s problem with… his Google ranking. You see, if you google Santorum’s name (go ahead, try it) you won’t get to his official website, instead you’ll get to SpreadingSantorum.com, which explains, according to Mother Jones magazine, “that Santorum’s last name is a sexual neologism for “the frothy mixture of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the byproduct of anal sex.”
Santorum’s problem got its start back in 2003, when the then-senator from Pennsylvania compared homosexuality to bestiality and pedophilia, saying the “definition of marriage” has never included “man on child, man on dog, or whatever the case may be.” The ensuing controversy prompted syndicated sex columnist Dan Savage, who’s gay, to start a contest, soliciting reader suggestions for slang terms to “memorialize the scandal.” The winner came up with the “frothy mixture” idea, Savage launched a website, and a meme was born. Even though mainstream news outlets would never link to it, Savage’s site rose in the Google rankings, thanks in part to bloggers who posted Santorum-related news on the site or linked to it from their blogs. Eventually it eclipsed Santorum’s own campaign site in search results; some observers even suggested it may have contributed to Santorum’s crushing 18-point defeat in his 2006 campaign against Bob Casey
.
Bad luck for Santorum, who seems to be making plans to run for the Republican presidential nomination in 2012 (dream on buddy), here’s another link to SpeadingSantorum.com. Please help spread around a lil’ more Santorum yourself, won’t you, by posting this to your Facebook page and Twitter?

All I ever needed to know about this guy was the apparently true story that when one of the Santorum’s child was still-born, Mr. and Mrs. Santorum made their other children hug their dead brother or sister (whatever it was). Maybe some people would consider that sweet or touching but I think it’s morbid and sick to inflict that on their living children. But then the supposed right-to-life types always privilege the fetus over the living in all instances.

this is funny, bit I think in the broader scheme of things it ain’t right… what if they’d gotten the drop on us and linked Obama to “rectal sex with Musilim dogs?”

Jim: That’s exactly the point though, the Right is usually pretty humourless and lacks creativity. The whole santorum thing is based on Santorum’s own bigotry. The sort of thing you mention is based on the bigotry of Obama’s detractors. It wouldn’t be a critique of his words or ideas but the hatred the Right has for Obama. I guess a parallel Left attack on Santorum would be more about his Catholicism in a more general sense (something suggesting all Catholics think a certain way) or towards his ethnicity.
dave berard: On the one hand, the daughter looks like a bored kid sitting through another boring speech which I’m sure is pretty universal amongst all political children. On the other hand, she looks kind of vacant or dazed or something…

google is not a verb, looney tunes, it is the name of a terrifying multinational corporation widely accused of censorship, mass invasions of privacy and a vast panoply of evil practices.
Think of it as Orwell’s Big Brother and then some.
Just a few weeks ago it proposed the death knell to internet freedom. Where were you, surfing the youtube for tittering giggles and seven year old ass lube gags?

Americans are sex obsessed prudes. If people just learned how to enjoy themselves and not agonize over all of their hang-up this would be a much better country.
