no one's hands are clean here, on either side of the political divide.

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.

>>So it seems. Probably a homosexual as well.

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.

"Beckwith is not your target. Sanchez is."

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:

>>Yeah, I found it surprising, too. He worked for Cato . . .

You can't tell players

you just never know.

A big tin foil site

I'm not sure how much
we can read in anyone's
past. Without tin foil . . .

Attacking and enjoying the tears of a child is perverted.

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.

"And conservatives never heap any abuse on the children of liberals."

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*

Francis J. Beckwith is a philosopher, specializing in politics, jurisprudence, religion, and applied ethics. He is on the faculty of Baylor University, where he is Associate Professor of Church-State Studies, and Associate Director of the Institute of Church-State Studies.

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.
