As the controversy over recent comments by Duck Dynasty’s Phil Robertson rages on, everyone from twitter users to national figures are adding their perspectives to the discussion. In the below clip. former GOP presidential candidate Rick Santorum, appearing on On The Record, weighs in, saying that what Phil Robertson said was a “pretty accurate” job of quoting the Bible.

Santorum was not as supportive a couple of days ago of Phil.

Pretty accurate is a weasel way of agreeing with wiggle room to deny any part of what was said if challenged.
Phil did not quote scripture exactly, but what he said was scripturaly accurate.
That’s a good point.
I don’t know why anybody is surprised when people are outraged whenever the Bible is quoted. It states very clearly that the Gospel will be an “offense”.
Santorum is one of the best politicians who ever served. It was a disaster for the country to vote him out of office due to a stupid idiotic reason AND even worse to not vote for him as the Republican Presidential Nominee. Of course most here would rather Obama then Santorum. The nastiness that Santorum gets just makes him stronger. Oh I hope that the FREEPERS who hate Santorum enough to support Obama are hurting so bad financially and morally that they will never recover. Nasty folks for sure!!!!!
Ricky-boy is a little late to the party.
“Well, you know, obviously, I’m not privy to what’s going on in someone’s mind,” Santorum said. “Obviously, in my opinion, someone … has a very sick mind who would pursue someone like this. This is clearly a heinous act. You know, there are a lot of people who have a lot of distorted views of reality. It’s a tragic, tragic case.”
“And my heart goes out to the parents, too. I can’t imagine what they’re suffering, losing their son in such a horrific way. All I would say is that, whatever the motive is, it was a malicious one, and a very, very tragic one.”
Sorry but comments like that either show a gross distortion of reality or a opportunistic, unprincipled politician. Either way it shows that Santorum is a dangerous man who should never be in a position to affect how laws are made.
99.9% of politicians, right there.
“Santorum is one of the best politicians who ever served.”
I guess it depends on your definition of “IS” doesn’t it! OTOH wishing those who don’t have the same opinion as you hold have financial difficulties makes you no better than the RATs you probably don’t like either.
