Reason Magazine Blogger Finds Pleasure in Tears of Rick Santorum's 8-year-old Daughter
Because the libertarian universe has no place for the vulnerable, weak, or the dependent--since none are autonomous adult-choosers in search of virtual kiddie porn--it has no qualms in providing a forum in which children and their families can be verbally abused and have profanities hurled at them. Read and weep Julian Sanchez's "Your Tears Are So Yummy and Sweet" in which the writer says he finds joy in the tears of Rick Santorum's eight-year-old daughter, who is pictured crying next to her father as he gives his concession speech on Tuesday night, November 7. Most of the comments that follow celebrate and contribute to Mr. Sanchez's meanness. In fact, one commentator, named Jon H., makes sarcastic reference to the Santorums' newborn child who died in 1996. ~ Posted by Francis J. Beckwith at 11:25 PM
Your Tears Are So Yummy and Sweet

Man, I haven't taken this much pleasure in the suffering of a small child in days.

No one's? Awfully broad brush you have there.
That's terrible. Making fun of Santorum's baby's death. What a despicable man.
You're just sinking to the liberals' level. Leave Santorum's kids out of it.

Libertarians are witches. When they see kids they want to cook them . . . |
Sounds like the libertine, libertarian crowd. Rick has his honor, which is more than most politicians have.
I don't know why you would bring your kids onstage for something like that - it's not her fault to be that upset, but anyway, Santorum's son flipped everybody off, so it all evens out.
Absolutely. What led you to think I thought they were his remarks? I plainly show that it is Beckwith who is bringing our attention to Sanchez' remarks and also link to his web site.
A big thanks should go to Professor Bethwith for pointing this out.
The poor girl. My daughter is nine and cries at movies. It is a very emotional time for a girl.
The cold hearted snake who thinks her tears are sweet should get just desserts. I agree with Ivan.
The "your tears are so yummy and seet" line from Eric Cartman is on South Park is really funny becasue it's a cartoon with imaginary characters.
The douchebag who made the statement here and the little girl were both real.
To narrow the brush somewhat, there are many folks from either side of the political spectrum who have dirty hands with regards to saying spiteful, hurtful things about the children of politicians. Feel better now? :-)
Laughing at a 8-year old girl crying? That's worse than toilet bowl humor and just plain mean.
No, they are definitely not fair game. Santorum is fair game since he thrust himself in the public arena. But, his family should be respected and will be respected by individuals with class.
Maybe you two missed my thread the morning after the election. Here is the link:

You can't tell players without score cards. Even then you just never know. A big tin foil site just pointed out the head man running things at the Ayn Rand Institute has served in the Israeli Army, intel group. I'm not sure how much we can read in anyone's past. Without tin foil . . . |
Santorum shyould have left his kids "out of it".
You don't get to have it both ways by parading them around to get family values votes, then get mad when someone makes mean jokes. The girl does look pathetic and her parents should have protected her by not thrusting her out in the middle of an election defeat.
Click the link to Shanchez' comments and read the other like-minded comments that equal and exceed what he had to say.
You will never be able to find vile comments like that made by mainstream conservatives about the *children* of liberals. Stop blowing smoke.
**Hey, since he brought them on stage for sympathy they're fair game**
Yeah, cuz it couldn't be that he brought them onstage because he wanted his family with him when he made that speech. That would be too logical. *rolling my eyes*
Sounds like a really ethical guy to me.
I think it's a rule that a professor involved with religion and ethics can't have any of either. Otherwise he/she would be biased.</sarcasm>
He didn't bring them onstage to get any sympathy. He brought them because he's a dedicated family man, and they're his family.
You have the understanding of a gnat. No, on second thought, you're closer to the intellectual depth of a plankton.
