Via Atrios, I see this shocking mind-numbingly offensive statement from Rick Santorum:
In an interview with The Associated Press, Santorum criticized homosexuality while discussing a pending Supreme Court case over a Texas sodomy law.
“If the Supreme Court says that you have the right to consensual (gay) sex within your home, then you have the right to bigamy, you have the right to polygamy, you have the right to incest, you have the right to adultery. You have the right to anything,” Santorum, R-Pa., said in the interview, published Monday.
Santorum spokeswoman Erica Clayton Wright said the lawmaker’s comments were “were specific to the Supreme Court case.”
I thought Atrios was making this up, it was so outrageous. Unbelievable. Someone please explain to me how this is not one of the most bigoted things uttered by anyone in the last 50 years. Let alone a US Senator. Disgusting. Words are failing me, as you can plainly see.
