  • what self respecting gay people would be friends with rick santorum?

  • @notforcoldsouls well,i heard him talk about so many others topics,and i disagree on all of them with ssantorum -_-,i swear,santorum is like a fucking alien sent to earth to become the next usa president -_-

  • Why is this man running for president?

  • With his logic we could justify slavery. "Oh it's been around for thousands of years, therefore we shouldn't change anything."

  • @jdbohdan fear is the only weapon opponents have. but gay marriage is legal in several states and many countries and nothing has happened to the institution of marriage there. their fear tactics will ultimately fail and i think they know it.

  • What happens when my traditional values are in opposition to your traditional values?

  • "I have gay friends."

    Who Rick? What gay friends do you have? I really want to hear their names!

  • 200 years ago people were in the closet because of witch hunters like Santorum. Santorum?->A bigot is a person obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices, especially one exhibiting intolerance, and animosity toward those of differing beliefs. The predominant usage in modern English refers to persons hostile to those of differing sex, race, ethnicity, religious belief or spirituality, political alignment, nationality, language, >sexual orientation<, and age.

  • He says that he worries straight soldiers will feel uncomfortable around openly gay soldiers. Why else would you feel uncomfortable unless it is that you hate that part of them? You are a bigot- come out of that closet.

    And about the small government- why do we need to write in law something that you claim is so intrinsic and already established? Are small-government supporters in the habit of writing redundant laws?

  • if you say that there needs to be an amendment to the constitution to ban gay marriage then you are indirectly admitting that it already allows it

  • LMFAO! He can't say gay!

  • Ignorant people have to blame the world and other groups of people for their own issues. If you really want America to move forward we have to be tolerant of other peoples differences. That way people from other countries will want to visit, live here thus boosting the economy. Our founding fathers said we are all created equal.

  • @grandysfunction and so was obama, make up your mind christians!!

  • @bheadh erroneously, asserts, "Alcoholocs were 'born that way' too...."

    Of course, your absurd allegation does not bear scrutiny in the real world, I'm afraid. Rational people know that an addition to a substance has no correlation to innate characteristics like sexual orientation. And now you do, too. :)

    Education is not the enemy, I promise. Don't fear it!

  • Rick Santorum is nothing. He has nothing worthwhile to say, and he has never done or accomplished anything interesting or important. The only reason you hear about him on the news is because the U.S. media is a right-wing propaganda machine. If one Republican candidate takes a shit (and, if they're Rick Santorum, they play with it), the media'll be all over it, and suddenly it becomes an "issue."

  • He's a narcissistic personality. The guy holds himself at such a high pedestal, that it's bordering Napoleon Bonaparte. He wants to promote 'traditional social values?' Funny how america advertises themselves as a free nation, but want to instill a ridiculous social standard that you have to live by. I'm for churches denying marrying whoever people in THEIR church, but their opinion shouldn't be implemented on the entire world. We are not a theocracy.

  • WITH a gay friend just two days ago eh? eh?!

  • This guy is a delusional nut job.

  • What about all the "men and women that come together" and beat their kids, neglect them, and otherwise abuse them. Santorum, You're a fucking bigot.

  • @Evological santorums a bigger colon jockey than those hes hatin on!

  • I think Rick Santorum should give all his interviews and speeches in front of a moose.

  • Seems very reasonable in his response, agree with him or not. And how is that a top comment above? Its a serious issue but, man, there is so much rhetoric today that you cannot hold an opinion that is different than someone else without being called a scumbag, bigot, uneducated, or worse. Maybe its just the people that I am around but it seems easy to have a intimate discussion with someone I disagree with on social issues, but the name calling on the news and internet is out of control...

  • I feel sorry for those who have issues just cause anyone has different views then them. Even thou he admits he has gay friends and has staffers that are gay how can anyone call him a bigot.

  • @C32used It's not just a different view though. He believes, and he even states it here, that straight couples should have advantages that homosexual couples cannot have... breaks on taxes, access to a partners health care plan, etc. This is no different than denying blacks equal rights or denying women the ability to vote, it favors a specific kind of person and it becomes not just a view, but a prejudice against a specific group of people. That sounds like bigotry to me.

  • I like where he says that marriage has been an institution for 2000 years. So sometime around when Jesus was 12, he or someone else came up with the idea that marriage is between a man and a woman.

  • Santorum: Do you like this?

    Gay friend: No, I like it better if you tickle my balls.

    Santorum: You mean like this?

    Gay friend: Yeah, that's it!

    Santorum: Oh, btw, what I meant to ask as well, do you mind about my political views?

    Gay friend: You're a politician? Nah, I don't mind one way or another, I don't even mind that you're married, why would I be bothered by politics? Don't be silly, Rick?

    Santorum: Allright then, very salty, I like it.

  • Hey Santorum, Slavery was an accepted practice for thousands of years, so was killing witches, calling left handed people witches and a host of other things that an educated society has realized are simply wrong.

  • Republicans still want us to believe that helping the poor get medical care is some horrible thing. Obviously they're working for the big insurance companies. Nobody should be upset that a sick person is being helped.

  • I'd like to see Sacha Baron Cohen sneak up on him as Bruno, grab him by the crotch and dry hump him until he admits what a bigoted, small minded fool he really is.

  • was that gay person that work for you a call boy ?

  • one day science will disprove religion and the world will live in peace

  • @FUwogs No. It won't. It's the human mind and peoples' need to control that is causing problems. Religion is the tool to bludgeon society and people. The wielder of that tool is mn. Remove religion and man will find another tool to control others.

  • Santorum is tragic, what a pathetic excuse for a human being.

  • is gay people the only thing santorum talks about?geeezz

  • Hhmmm....  Exactly what are "Traditional values"...?

  • we should be able to stone kids to death for being disrespectful, abduct people into slavery, and force rape victims to marry their mollester.

  • @zombiegrease Well just vote for Santorum

  • @anillmindissick i think i'd rather slam my dick in a door...

  • instead of just complaining about -- and ridiculing -- santorum, let's celebrate people like wade kach. he's a repub who switched his vote to support marriage equality, saying he did so BECAUSE he is pro-life. he said the testimony of families headed by gays changed his mind and that he wanted the children of those families to have the same rights as children in opposite-sex households. 3 cheers to a repub.

  • @tishhead sorry, that was in the maryland legislature

  • It sucks because Don Lemon is gay.

  • As mentioned previously, he wants not just to disallow gay marriage, but to make consensual gay sex a CRIME.

    He also wants all birth control to be illegal, wants premarital sex to be illegal, and wants 11 year old girls, raped by their own father and impregnated, to have the baby as it's a "gift from God." There's NO way this guy has gay friends, or many other friends whatsoever, but if I'd alienated this many people with psychotic policies, I'd be fabricating friends, too.

  • @philippides Dude, you are just spouting hateful nonsense. Santorum NEVER said any of those things. You need to stop making ridiculous statements which have no evidence to support them. And if you don't believe he has gay friends, then that is on you. I encourage you to research it. He had a gay African-American aid who worked for him for 10 years. Look it up. And stop spreading such vicious lies. I feel sorry for you, man.

  • @vikingvoicesstud

    Those are all real consequences of rejecting gay marriage but let's stick to what he's explicitly stated, how about that gay sex should be a criminal offense. He wants to not just ban gay marriage but nullify the gay marriages that have already taken place. He wants to criminalize abortion with NO exceptions. He said he'd kill Iranian, North Korean and Russian CIVILIAN scientists working on nuclear programs. Any gay person who would befriend him is a dolt.

  • @vikingvoicesstud

    It's not really fair here, by the way, with me providing things you can verify with a quick google video search. And you having contributed nothing of any substance or merit yourself. It's a little unfair and one-sided, our little exchange, is it not?

    I would still not be condescending enough to say I feel sorry for you, though, "man". Stupid people are always so happy.

  • Santorum wants to make sure gays die alone in hospital rooms because only "spouses" are allowed. He wants to make sure that if a member of a committed gay relationship is from a gay hostile country, he gets deported there, and KILLED. He wants to preserve anti-gay prejudice in housing, employment and adoption. And bar gays from vital, lifesaving joint benefits. Oh, but he doesn't hate us. He loves us. As long as we struggle more, and die alone. Who are these idiot gay friends of his??

  • I want to stab my computer monitor when he opens his mouth. This ass thinks people should spit out babies like watermelon seeds no matter how they come out. His baby lived 2 hrs of excruciating pain and his Trisomy18 child will live a life of insurmountable challenges. Better that than never being born. Right Rick? How bout if one was gay? The numbers say it's likely...

  • Article IV, Paragraph three of the U.S. Constitution provides that: The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.

  • lol at 3:38 rick santorum admits he is gay

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • Am I the only one who gets really irritated by the fact that he says "niche" wrong? And the bigotry of course. Personally I think that whenever somebody uses the phrase "traditional values" they should be automatically disqualified, but whatever xD

  • @MegaWar23 LGBT Americans just want their marriages recognized by civil law" "civil marriage" ...not a "gay marriage" ...I don't have: a "gay" drivers license, nor a gay car, nor a gay computer; nor gay shoes; nor a gay lifestyle..... just like I don't have a right handed car; nor a right handed computer, nor a blue eyed lifestyle, nor a blue eyed drivers license ......

  • Santorum would be a great candidate if it was the Catholic dominated 13th century

  • In 2003 Rick Santorum lead a crusade against the Supreme Court's decision in Lawrence v. Texas which effectively legalized same-sex relations in all 50 states and US territories. He's a liar and a fraud and his record proves it. He IS a bigot and despises gay people.

  • @americans4integrity holy shit! Just another reason to not vote for Santorum.

  • @MegaWar23 Why?

  • Obviously by Rick Santorum's standards of requiring that traditional standards of human history being codified into law means that we need to re-legalize slavery and that whole thing about making women equal citizens instead of property has to be repaired as soon as the gays aren't allowed to get married.

  • Government needs to stay the fuck out of our lives.  Santorum said, "I don't hate anybody." So when you want to change the constitution to interfere with the liberties of anyone, that doesn't make you a hater? Sorry Rick, but you are a hater of liberty!

  • watch?v=jEJhkYOKE6I

  • "We should be able to deny black people the right to sit at the front of the bus, to integrate into our white schools, or marry our white neighbors without being called bigots."

    Yeah, right Rick. What is the definition of a hater, other than working to oppress and deny an entire community of citizens their equal rights under the law, based solely on your own irrational prejudices?

  • @GodCreatesGays2 Gays arent a race dirtbag, they are people who made a choice to be gay. Black people cant choose to be black. Im tired of you idiots using a term of hate or discrimination for something so wrong. People like you misuse the word so much its not even funny. Go read a book Rosa Parks or MLK, THATS a story of PREJUDICE and DISCRIMINATION.

  • @xCptWafflex "Thats a story of prejudice and discrimination"

    As is the gay marriage issue (obviously not on the same level but still prejudice/discrimination nonetheless). Only a moron would think otherwise, and since you think being gay is a choice it's pretty obvious that you're one of those morons.

  • Show me a gay person who's friends with Rick Santorum and I will show you the dumbest gay person alive.

  • This guy is a tool

  • If he becomes president America is fucked.

  • Anyone else notice how Santorum always Bobs His Head no matter what point he is trying to get across? He just can't keep his head still and continue looking you in the eye.

    I am a Republican 71 yrs old and NO way would I vote for Santorum in the worst of times.

    He does NOT need to Debate his Social Issues with anyone...Just get on the American Issues of Politics and our Constitution and stay out of MY life Rick. Control your wife, not us.

  • in all honesty tho...of the crappy options in the race, he's the worst. There is no chance this man will ever be president

  • what a liar lmao..

  • If the show "Lie to Me" has any psychological scientific value, Santorum completely made up the story of his "gay friend." Notice he's continually shaking his head no the entire time he's talking about it.

  • Bigot.

  • He supposedly loves his gay friends, but he wants them to be second-class citizens. What a shitty friend! And trying to act like he's been victimized. The nerve of that blithering hypocrite! How could anyone call this poor soul a bigot? Oh right, because he IS ONE.

  • Yeah, slavery is an institution that's thousands of years old too. It's also great for the economy of a society; and yet we did away with that because it's wrong to deny people of civil liberties. Maybe it's time we address the antiquated dictums of a religion that shouldn't get to dictate the conditions of everyone's lives. Also, wanting to deny people human rights based on nothing rational is indeed BIGOTRY. i can't BELIEVE how these asshats are trying to claim that they are victims.

  • @TheArcaneMaster Well said! But even when you point out these solid facts to him and people like him, they come up with new bullshit like: "It will pave the way for official sanctioning of pedophilia and bestiality."

    ... Okay. We're talking about the rights of consenting adults who contribute to society the same as everyone else. This has absolutely nothing to do with those actual perversions.

    He's trying so hard to validate his bigotry... it's pathetic.

  • @LocksAndChains Thank you. :) Yeah, and that's such a silly argument. On the other hand, the gay movement is doing so much to distance itself from polyamory, kink, and transfolk in order to avoid being thought of in this light, which is unfortunate because there is nothing wrong with any of those things either.

  • the economy is what matters.......social issues are a distraction- leave it to the states to decide

  • RON PAUL FOR PRESIDENT

  • Gay marriage is not a "public policy" issue.

  • this guy must have really sucked as a lawyer

  • he is a bias bigot and an idiot.

  • I wonder if anyone has told Ricky yet that gays have a much lower divorce rate than heterosexuals? >:)

  • rick santorum talks about himself in the 3rd person

  • and if you ask him why his belief of "traditional" marriage is better for society, as he says, i bet he wouldnt have an answer cuz hes a scumbag

  • Santorum: "Marriage is a privelege. Gays don't deserve this privelege."

    Me: "But you dont discreminate against Homosexuals?"

  • What a waste of human flesh!!

  • I want him to show a group picture with his gay friends and their signatures showing it is them, then those being confirmed.

  • Rick Santorum: Marriage is the reward for being straight.

  • And who is this fool "seahorse05". That mental midget is worried gay marriage will lead to humans marrying bottles of ketchup and mustard. lol You just gotta laugh at these bigoted idiots. lol

  • To you idiots making the claim that gay marriage will lead to human/animal marriages, do you really envision a day in which society will condone such a thing? Imagine their wedding: John Smith leads his Cocker Spaniel down the isle by leash. "John Smith, do you take Fido to be your lawfully wedding canine?" "I do" "Fido, do you take John Smith to be your lawfully wedding human?" "bow wow" - Really morons? You actually worry this will happen?

  • What gay person would want to be his friend?

  • @freakincampers Larry Craig.

  • @freakincampers:

    Yeah, Ricky having gay friends is a s likely as all those theists claiming to have been atheists. i.e. extremely unlikely and most likely very dishonest to sell to gullable people that even his imaginary "gay friends" are okay with the wisdom of his message. XD

  • @freakincampers Closeted ones that want to hide their sexuality. I'm sure they do exist.

  • @freakincampers I assume he is referencing his right hand, I'm sure he thinks masturbation is gay, after all, it's a guy jerking him off...

  • @freakincampers " I have had a gay people work for me yes I have a gay friend " He's call boy !!!

  • I hate Rick Santorum.

  • Yes Rick, we should be able to deny people civil rights without being called out on the underlying bigotry that leads to the denial of the right. That's like saying, "I'm not a racist, but I don't want keep black people marrying white people." Amazing how he thinks his bigotry that leads to his position is just a "disagreement on a public policy issue."

  • why is there such a game, last time the only runner up suddenly quit, this time the other side are just such jokes, like this idiot

  • yes you do hate and yes you are a bigot

  • Right, because two men or two women can't raise a stable family in a loving environment. God, what an asshole.

  • the word is pronounced 'neesh' not 'nitsh' you moron.

  • Why did he hit his mouth at the beginning of the video?

  • @hirokerei The combined wishes of millions of people? Oh wait, wishes dont come true, because he still had teeth afterwards.

  • Read about what France has ruled on marriage. Yes, France has ruled that marriage is between a man and a woman. Anyone who accuses the French of being "closed-minded" is insane. So, that is something to think about.

    Is everyone watching the same clip as me? Wow, I hear about the media brainwashing people, but come on! You really have an axe to grind if you are hating on Santorum.

  • i don't see the problem here... you people are all like "OMG I WANT TO THROW UP!" why? cuz he has a different opinion then yours? is he not alowd to have his own opinion? he said it himself, he dosent hate gay people, he just has a different view on what the legal definition of marriage should be.so what? u obviously disgree with him and that's fine, like he said why cnat you have a peaceful debate about it? oh and btw, the title of this video is misleading, that is not what he said.

  • @MrSpukinator Wanting to deny people equal rights isn't just an opinion. He does hate gay people, and thinks they can be cured.. I have been with my husband 13 years, and not once has a gay person screwed up my marriage. These anti gay marriage people are fucking insane.

  • @WitchygirrlR Thank You.. I am on the other end of the spectrum,I am a gay man and have been with my partner for 9 years and not one heterosexual marriage has come screwed up that comitted relationship. If I was allowed to marry my true love, nothing would change other than me getting to be there in the hospital if he dies, draw his pension, taxes,insurance ect..Pretty much, just have the same rights as everyone else that is contracted together with a marriage license.)-->(Paper of equal rights)

  • Among the not-so-wealthy, too, marriage was a huge concern for primarily financial reasons. Just read "Pride and Prejudice" - the whole book is about this middle class guy trying to marry off his daughters to rich husbands so they don't wind up homeless.

  • This whole "Nuclear family" marriage ideal is NOT thousands of years old. In fact, in some ways it's quite new. For much of history, marriage was a financial arrangement between families, particularly wealthy ones. Among the wealthy, historically it was quite common to arrange a marriage for much the same reasons that a corporate merger might be approved today, with both man and woman having lovers/mistresses on the side, and both being fully aware of them.

  • Hey Rick, what would Jesus do? Well, he would start off by being publicly tortured, humiliated and executed.......Why dont you start there?

  • @smithcas86 Maybe you haven't been paying attention, but the media is doing the humiliating part right now. Think about the implications of your statement. In one way that is a compliment and a true statement. In another way, don't you think that is sort of bigoted? I get that people are held to standards. I don't, and of course the media doesn't, say that Obama doesn't care about the poor because he gave little or nothing to the poor in charitable giving. Lets be civil.

  • Santorum is against gays and against helping the poor get medical care. How does this make him a Christian?

  • *rick Santorum LOVES the 1980 film "Cruising";

  • But you ARE BLANCHE!! YOU ARE A BIGOT!!!

  • Santorum lets not break the 9th commandment. You fit approximately one niche, that would be the religious right predominately comprised of white middle aged to elderly heterosexual couples. You fit the nursing home and compound niche.

  • Should gays stop heterosexuals form getting marriage without begin called a bigot?

  • Rick Santorum is a bigot and a scumbag.

  • So..... Children without parents are better off living in orphanages than being adopted by homosexuals.. Gotcha rick.. didn't vote for you as my senator, and wont vote for you as presidental nominee.

  • obama will wipe sanatoruim a new asshole in a gen election, the only thing sanatorium can talk about is gays & abortions 2 things he will never stop!

  • It's easy to agree with him here, that oh, he just has a different opinion. But, then you think about what this means for someone with his power... Inequality because some good, decent human beings are a little different. What are you supposed to say to that? His seemingly simple stance causes so much harm..

  • you tell 'em, rick santorum! Just because people disagree on public policy issues doesn't make them a bigot, and it's prejudiced to say that. I'm so sick of people persecuting good fundamentalist Christian Americans for speaking out against homosexuality. It's just like when everybody was speaking out against those who advocated segregation! That was a public policy issue, not a personal issue. Just because I don't want them to ride in the front of the bus doesn't make me a bigot!

  • @ouch2112 you numbskull....because you didnt...and still dont want them in the front of the bus DOES make you a bigot......You guys are Fucking CRAZY!

  • @penfifteen666 dude...satire.

  • @ouch2112  phew

  • @penfifteen666 well I'm glad you at least disagreed :)

  • @ouch2112 good fundamentalist christians know god is the only one who can/should judge anyone else or take away their rights. god gave us free will, why are people so interested in taking that free will away from others? if god didnt think it was necessary to tell people what to do/not to do, why is any human being let alone "good christian" doing that? people need to worry about themselves and take care of their own "sins" instead of trying to fix other people. wwjd? anybody?!

  • @ouch2112 Your a Nazi

  • You do hate. Don't lie you measly little turd....

  • What happend to tolerating other peoples sexuality, gender, race and, religion? This is the United States.

  • "I have gay friends." Is that like an alls boys club let's in a token woman so their club isn't shut down for being bigoted?

  • @JohnWinchester3567 It is refreshing to see someone who is religious that does not condone forcing it on everyone else. If all religious folks were like you, the world would be a much better place...

  • Um.....Santorum.....I really think you should look up the word bigot buddy. This is a candidate for the highest office in the land? Yikes!

  • Uhm. Didn't he just admit that he is against his gay friend on this issue? Doesn't that completely undermine his point?

    I mean honestly, does Santorum actually tell his friend "Nope, I don't think that you're relationship is marriage," to a married gay couple? How exactly does that conversation go??

  • what's best for society he said lol. It's best for society to ban someone's freedom to do something that they want to do that, by the way, hurts nobody. Ron Paul says it's not governments place to say who can marry whom regardless of gender. The good doctor is the only one of them with a brain. The others are clones of the scarecrow from Wizard of Oz. If they only had a brain.

  • It's ironic that he is saying this to a black gay reporter, Don Lemon.

  • "Traditional values" is conservative code speak for bigoted hatred of gays,blacks,women that don't "know their place," etc.

    Most main stream religions,christanity and islam are the two works.

  • santorum is a fuckin snake!!!  ron paul 2012

  • By pushing for gay marriage, liberals have messed up the entire issue. Most gays were fine before all these calls for another "civil rights" movement and now there has to be some huge social war between liberals and conservatives just so the media has more "shocking" headlines. Sad that it's wrong to believe in your faith, if any, these days with out being called a name whether it's something from the right or the left, no one respects opinions.

  • @TheFatguy72 It's not wrong to believe in your faith. It's wrong to force everyone to live by your idea of faith. The world has changed unfortunately the church hasn't. If most gays were fine why are they fighting for their rights? They got tired of the everybody has to be exactly like me crowd. & we say the militant islamics are bad for their terrorist attacks!? Guys like this are more dangerous then miltant islamics!

  • Santorum prays for me. I'll think for him.

  • Santorum is just another brainless goon of the GOP, ignore him and soon he'll go away

  • if he doesnt want to have gay marriage because "thats the way its always been"

    maybe women shoudnt vote anymore.

    times change we realize new things so we change our old habits.

  • Santorum is a religious zealot as well as a sexual by-product (google it).

  • WHO ELSE WANTED TO THROW UP AFTER THIS 

  • Rick Santourm- "I have nothing against the coloreds...

    I think everybody should own at least one"

    Vote Santorum. Not racist at all.

  • I don't hate coons, I just disagree with thier choice to be nig nogs. In fact some of my best friends are jungle bunnies so there.

    Vote Santorum. Not a bigot at all.

  • We should be able to stop darkies riding on buses without being called a racist.

    Vote Santorum!

  • Define "traditional" - The number means absolutely nothing because different people come from different traditions and have a different conception of tradition. Some people think that tradition = homophobia, others don't see it as homophobia but as good parenting and common sense. Why do Christians alwasy get called "divisive" when you've got people like Obama spending over $400 billion a year on planned parenthood and his health BS? Shananigans!!!

  • @muel0341 Planned Parenthood gets a billion a year...

  • if you dont want to give gay people equal rights, then dont ask them to pay taxes

  • So he wants to be hateful, but he doesn't want us to call him that? Go to hell, Rick Santorum.

  • How is imposing your beliefs on others as "law" and "public policy" right?

  • Is Rick's middle name "Churned"?

  • Funny how the only time the liberals care about the constitution is when it comes to gays.

    Websters defines marriage as between a man and a woman. So gay marriage doesn't exist.

    I think ending the drug War is a much more important issue. I hope for individual liberty for all people, including gays. But who gets to define words anyways.

  • @BoloBeachBall You're a fucking idiot.

  • @BoloBeachBall agreed with you about gay "marriage"
