Yes.

I don’t really have much of a preference between him and Newt, but the attacks on Santorum should stop. No one was criticizing Newt in the way Santorum is being criticized. I think a bunch of the Santorum haters may actually prefer Romney but are forced to express that support for him in criticisms of Santorum.

The hell they weren't. The attacks against Newt were far worse.

Actually I think a fair number of the Santorum attackers are Paulbots. You might have noticed that they’ve become virtually invisible around here lately.

I’m not even getting any Ron Paul FReepmail spam.

For the record, there have always been Santorum haters on FR. They are mostly from the liberal-tarian crowd, many of whom are multiple-zot retreads who used to congregate over at the now-defunct ClownePosse anti-FR site. I would wager that a fair number of them are back posting other other handles.
