...fucking clown. But a clown doing us a valuable public service, no doubt.

(80,708 posts)They've done a good job, previously, of doing all sorts of Lakoff style semantic and framing games to make their position seem like the "moderate, reasonable" one.
Santorum blows the lid right off that, because he's out there saying what they really think, but what they know doesn't fly.

Published: August 26, 1992
A fund-raising letter written by the television evangelist Pat Robertson in opposition to a proposed equal rights amendment to the Iowa Constitution suggests that feminists want women to kill their children and practice witchcraft.
The equal rights amendment, on which Iowans will vote Nov. 3, is a broadly worded measure that would bar sex discrimination.
But Mr. Robertson's letter, distributed late last month to supporters of the evangelical organization Christian Coalition, described the proposal as part of a "feminist agenda" that "is not about equal rights for women." Claims of 'Anti-Family'
Instead, the letter said, "it is about a socialist, anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians."
Mr. Robertson, a 1988 Republican Presidential contender, included in the letter a plea that money be sent to the organization Stop E.R.A. to "help defeat E.R.A. and defend the family in Iowa."

(66,606 posts)I did leave my husband, practice witchcraft, and "become" a lesbian. I am honing my skills so that I can one day "destroy capitalism." Such fun!
Edited to add that I'm a socialist too. You betcha!
