@7, So what's up with @7's indented and duplicated comment, with the mysterious line "The comment above is nested elsewhere"? Is Slog trying to implement threaded comments? Is it dependent on the at sign at the beginning of a comment?
@15,16,17 yeah-- it looks pretty ridiculous when you're in 'normal' view -- the way you seem to be responding to something that's not happening. Like our very own Garfield Minus Garfield...
@6 does make an excellent point that Slog and Danny are blind to.
The whole "santorum" slap and tickle;
while certainly entertaining 7th grade scatalogical humor;
and while certainly creating awkwardness for a B list candidate who has no chance anyway;
also rams home the disgustingness of homosexual sex,
and to an audience that has not probably stopped to ponder the details of homosexual "love" before.
Sure, the dandies will assure us that done "right" anal is blahblahblah, but that point will be totally lost (and is much less convincing that the statistics on how many homosexuals do not manage to do it 'right' but instead infect themselves).
And sure, heterosexuals also do anal (though strangely enough, while doing it in much much greater numbers that homosexuals heteros manage to get AIDS at a fraction of the rate of the dandies- really, who should lecture whom about doing it 'right'?...)
bottom line, when the average Real American sees the clever bumper sticker in its yucky brown with the clever 'o' they will think,
"Oh God, homo buttsex is a disgusting filthy perversion..."
and also will think
"linking Santorum's name to this disgusting filthy product of deviant homo behavior is a first class piece of asshole immaturity"
Danny is SOOOOOO proud of his cleverness,
he doesn't see any of it;
and wouldn't care if he did....
@1, 4, 22, 30: your self-loathing troll needs more fine-tuning no matter how many times you agree with yourself.
Keep trying, though. Maybe you'll find someone besides you on Slog someday that thinks anal sex is icky, and anything that keeps you from raving at passersby on a street corner when you're off your meds has to be time well spent.
@29: Stalin was a made-up name, not his actual name, therefore I doubt there are many people running around with that surname today.
As for Mussolini, people suck at history, and Italy sucked at war, so I doubt most people bother them very much. Besides, BM wasn't Hitler, and therefore, didn't get such a bad rap. Sure he was a fascist, but the Holocaust wasn't his idea.
Oh, and as for people named Hitler, yeah, they're fucked. Especially since that spelling of the name was only used by people relatively closely related. It's not something you get for being *that* Hitler's 9th cousin, it's something you get for being his nephew.
@32: pokemyname.com registers 444 people named Stalin in the US alone, with 4 new ones every year. If you count people in other countries... (in Russia, Stalin enjoys a certain popularity. I've met at least one person who goes by this name in Nizhny Novgorod.)
The point is well taken that this campaign ruins the name for all those non-Rick Santorums out there (besides making fun of a perfectly good plural genitive form in Latin). The point is that this is collateral damage, and not serious enough to be tolerated given the symbolic value of making good ol' Rick pay, even if only a little, for his bigotry.
Very, very pleasing. More hahahaha and etc.
I mean, I know it detracts from Rick and all, but, thas' nasty.
Thanks for the laugh! And another chance to link to Santorum again in my blog! :-)
Now I kind of wish I could turn that part of the commenter-blocker off.
@24 -- Hey!
Senator Santorum got this "Google problem" for a *reason*. Go look it up.
