What’s this, two men interrupting Rick Santorum’s banal rambling to lock lips in a simple act of protest against homophobia? ACTION TEAM FORCE PATRIOTISM TO THE RESCUE. Watch the excitable wingnuts spring into action and holler “U-S-A” over and over in a heroic attempt to ward off decency and tolerance from their midst. How about some finger pointing, would finger pointing help, too?
This lady is on it, oh boy is she:
Mission accomplished! The kissing men were kicked out. Please resume your speech about fundamental American values, Rick Santorum:
“We need a president who understands that America is the greatest country in the history of the world and what we’ve done across this country, across this world, it’s not oppress, it’s not invade, we are not invaders, we are not people that seek gain of territory, oil, property,” Santorum said. “What we seek is security for ourselves and liberty and prosperity for others and it’s nothing to apologize for.”
Good job, team. Decency and common sense were defeated once again. [Patch/YouTube]

Phew, we threw out the disgusting sodomites, now let's all cheer for Rick Santorum's bravery for not running away when faced with teh gay. He wasn't even wearing a bio-hazard suit! Such bravery!
Well, at least he didn't hide in the bushes or call 911 like some people we could mention…
"…we are not people that seek gain of territory, oil, property,” Santorum said." There are some native Americans on the phone who would like to speak with you about that, Mr. Santorum, also a few dead presidents.
It just sorta happened.
Frothy will magnanimously give them blankets used in a
small poxEbola ward.It's too bad that native Americans weren't able to enforce a tough show-me-your-papers law.
If they had only passed the "Cherokee only" for all official transactions and documents it might have slowed down the influx of whites a little. Hindsight is always 20-20….
And the Chagossians, if anyone thinks we just stopped after the 19th century ended. (USA! USA!)
Big deal. If one is not an historian like the neutered, anything said is close enough .
How can they complain about two gay dudes kissing in the audience with all that yucky Santorum all over the stage?
So…. don't know if this is true, but the buzz on the twitterz is that these guys weren't even gay. They just wanted to make a point. I really hope it's true.
Yeah, they didn't look like they were really into it. A public beej, while a bit more problematic, would have been a lot more convincing.
Oh, those two are definitely not gay. Gaydar needle doesn't even budge.
Two guys kissing in public? LOL, that is so ghey.
But anyway, +1 for gay hockey fans.
"Hey, I don't get no respect! I went to a speech and a Gay Hockey Game broke out!"
- Rodney Santorum
Tonsil hockey.
Vigorously Upfisted!
Heh heh, you said "Upfisted"! Heh heh. heh heh heh.
Regarding a related values topic: Why hasn't Santorum been asked how he is able to distinguish between garden variety porn and obscene hard-core porn? What has he actually seen and how many times?
I'm sure his extensive library is indexed by subject and cross-referenced. For research purposes, of course.
Simple!
Not Porn: Juggs, Catholic High School Girls In Trouble, Cheerleader Sluts, Girl Pages in Bondage, MILF Hunter, Horny Housewives.
Porn: The Ellen Show.
She points at us, and we, as gay men point back at her. I mean look at that haircut.
And that husband. They met in 4H and have been inseparable since.
I was going to say she looks like an old lesbian. But that would be an insult to old lesbians.
4H, if my olde brain recalls correctly. is headcase, heartache, hand-job, and homophobic? Amirite?
Head, heart, hands, hole.
In which pen?
Ooh, nice one.
Except for those times he had to go to agricultural fairs in Nebraska. But hey, what happens in Omaha, stays in Omaha.
I think they were chanting "U R Gay."
But yeah, this is just more evidence that most if not all of Santorum's supporters are fucking morans.
The first few people to start chanting were saying "U R Gay", then, once it was adopted by a larger portion of the audience, it became "USA", it sounds like. Good catch, there.
And Satan smiled.
That whole auditorium should be sprayed with santorum, Saints Row 2 style.
Aww yeah, you know I have to link to a NSFW video of that.
If only the sequel had a dildo to top that shit.
Is it bad that I find the pseudo-Marxist ramblings of the septic avenger sort of arousing?
I'm just glad that they allowed the two women to continue frenching.
Nah, that's fine, because they're property of the men, and if two women are going at it that just means they're super horny, amirite? At least that's what Santorum supporters glean from their obscene hardcore porn, I wager.
Santorum has been playing the Seamus-the-Irish Setter card quite often, lately. How long will the Romney campaign be able to abstain from the nuclear option?
The nuclear option? Does that mean Mittens' people have video footage?
Can't decide if that thought makes me happy or makes me want to vomit…
This whole fucking country is one giant Monty Python skit.
“Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government!”
Watery Tart!
I thought we were an autonomus collective.
"Help! Help! I'm being oppressed!"
This parrot is no more! He has ceased to be! 'E's expired and gone to meet 'is maker! 'E's a stiff! Bereft of life, 'e rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed 'im to the perch 'e'd be pushing up the daisies! 'Is metabolic processes are now 'istory! 'E's off the twig! 'E's kicked the bucket, 'e's shuffled off 'is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisibile!! THIS IS AN EX-PARROT!!
Ummmm, just sleeping….
CROWD: A witch! A witch! A witch! We've got a witch! A witch!
VILLAGER #1: We have found a witch, might we burn her?
CROWD: Burn her! Burn!
BEDEMIR: How do you know she is a witch?
VILLAGER #2: She's on Birth Control!
BEDEMIR: Bring her forward
King of the who?!
where the ministry of silly walks is the most sensible part of the government..
Without the humor.
I'm honestly surprised that the crowd didn't stone them to death.
Hard to get any velocity on the cast stones when throwing from a hoverround.
2 guys 1 creamcup.
Seriously, we can't use the word "r-e-t-a-r-d-e-d" in any context now? That's fuckin gay as hell.
"R" word definition = A slowing down or hindering of progress; a delay
Seems like Santorum would like to delay our progress into the 21st century, so….
He just wants to drop the speed of America down — a ritardando if you will.
Is "cretin" also off limits?
Cretin Hop is OK.
It would be very helpful if we had a Reference Text. A Robert's Rules for Ret@rds, if you will.
The Wonket Manual of Crass and Irreverent Style, perhaps?
no, use of that word just shows you have a language problem. Why is it so important for people here to use that word? As I have said before, I see it used by kids, drunk teens/men and generally uneducated people. I expect more from people posting here- perhaps I have overestimated the abilities of some Wonketteers.
"Abilities"? We have "Abilities"?
WOOHOO!
that there is some linguistic libel all around.
I believe a good portion of the posts here are irreverently lampooning stupidity while/by actively participating in the same. It's something that the kids are doing these days.
I sincerely hope no one on this blog ever starts expecting more from the comments section.
I really need a copy. If only to have the correct spelling of "Buttsechs" handy.
Ban C_T. He said gay.
I've been waiting for the Love-In to come back in style. I'm sorry it was meant with such a lack of appreciation. Maybe they'll get a check in the mail from Yoko.
They could get married in Gibraltar, near Spain.
Christ, you know it ain't easy.
With the amount of horse and cow fuckers in the audience I am surprised the complained.
Cows 'r okay cuz they's female. Horses are fine too if they's mares, and probably also fine if they's geldings. But two FELLAS kissin'? That ain't right, y'all.
Unless of course, the fella's are from the Dominican Republic and get paid for their services.
Don't forget the Chicken-Fuckers, now! They're proud people.
Sheep libel!
That certainly was some heroic finger pointing. "Ooo,ooo, Herb, they're kissin', Herb, they're kissing!"
Congratulations, Mr. Santorum. You have an X-men power. It is… making gay people kiss each other whenever you are around. Enjoy, you f-ing mutant. Enjoy.
Even better…is making STRAIGHT people gay-kiss each other.
Happy, happy! Joy, joy!
Santorum turns straight people gay. Who knew?
It makes sense that the gays left. Look carefully at the crowd; every person of color left, was removed, or did not arrive before filming.
It's awesome the way Santorum can almost fill a high school gym, isn't it. And he's the one that excites the base.
Holy fuck, Obama draws bigger crowds than that taking Sasha and Milia out for ice cream.
Or having some Guinness.
Or playing pocket pool.
every person of color left, was removed, or did not arrive before filming.
Or, most likely, was sold.
Or was uncomfortable in their 3/5 of a seat.
It's a republican event: The only people of color allowed are entertainment and catering and cleaning. For future reference see America in the 40's.
What's really funny is that you have a bunch of people pointing at two men kissing and chanting "U S A"… if I didn't know it was at a Santorum rally I'd figure that people were pointing to them as an example of Americans, not condemning them.
It is so nice to see a sweet young couple practicing their personal freedoms in this country, and be cheered on by the audience, who are brought to their feet proclaiming how great the USA is.
If I were in charge of the secret gay agenda, I would definitely have my minions do this at every single Santorum rally until the convention just for the lulz. Maybe add a couple each time until the entire front row is just one big gay make-out session.
tremendous
Stay classy, Illinois.
"…we are not people that seek gain of territory, oil, property,” LGBT equality activists said. “What we seek is security for ourselves and liberty and prosperity for others and it’s nothing to apologize for.”
/fixed
They should have gone the whole hog and done some butt sex in front of these bigots. Then they could have gone through the crowd distributing condoms and lube.
Exactly, and people in the nosebleed section could say, I was so close to *santorum* it was like being in the front row. Wait, what nosebleed section?
Hey, all the British wanted for India was freedom and prosperity for them, too, according to the Santorinomicon.
The same crowd that goes to wrestling events. Idiocracy was so prophetic
Remember that scene is Trainspotting where the old gal is giving it to the old guy from behind? Someone seriously needs to hack the big screen with that clip. The Metamucil will be flowing down from the nose bleeds!
"Idiot Santorum Supporters…." Redundancy much? BTW, read the quote, having never paid much attention to what this dipshit has ever said, I just realized that in addition to his other faults, he is a HUGE fucking liar. We're not invaders like the Ultrasound Wand is not invasive. What a massive asshole this person is.
Actually Tommy, he had his fingers crossed behind his back (and stuck up his ass) when he said that.
Well, OK then. ;)
And you know how a person with an overabundance to santorum gets a massive asshole…
Prolly hangs open like a horse-collar.
If it had been a brother and sister kissing, the crowd would have cheered.
Vice is nice, but incest is best. Dogeared, but still works in the heartland.
Hey, you got your homophobia in my xenophobia, you filthy fag!!
You got your xenophobia in my homophobia, you stupid chink!
Two great tastes that taste great together.
we are not invaders, we are not people that seek gain of territory, oil, property,
You malodorous shit stain, you lying sack of dung. Goddammit, I would like just 5 minutes with you to explain just how fucking big a liar you are.
I think it's unfair to call someone a liar when they clearly don't know what the hell they're talking about to begin with.
I would just love to see the house-based edukation lesson plans being inflicted on his kids. Probably includes pictures of Jesus riding a dinosaur while shootin' off a pistol & carryin' the US Flag
Interestingly, when they were ripping off the Penn Hills, PA, school district to get their curricula paid for by taxpayers, the lessons were regular secular public school edumacation, provided by the Pennsylvania Cyber School, one of the nation's earliest online charter schools. So they were willing to forego the Christian viewpoint as long as they didn't have to PAY. There's some real dedication to The Lord.
I used to feel that way, but I really would *not* want anything to do with the bastard. Nothing that anyone says will make an impact on what he says or does unless it is accompanyed with a boat load of money. Honestly I don't think he believes half this crap, but he knows it is his ticket and he is going to hold onto it as long as he can turn a buck with it. You cant fix that with discussion.
Very true. I should have clarified that I would want 5 minutes with him in public. I certainly wouldn't be able to change his mind. But, with some good preparation, I might be able to make him look like the ass he is to other people.
I agree. The ole' US of A has the best kissing dudes in the history of the world.
I hope the crowd chants the same thing when he leaves the stage after his concession speech.
Any gals want to help me protest Santorum's stand on contraceptives?
Sure, I'll bring condoms to throw all over the next place he speaks. I assume that is what you were planning.
Touché.
Santorum stands on contraceptives? No wonder he's got so many kids.
UR DOIN IT RONG
“We need a president who understands that America is the greatest country in the history of the world [why do you hate Israel?] and what we’ve done across this country, across this world, it’s not oppress[except for Negroes, women, Hispanics, gays, Irish, Germans, Italians, and the poor], it’s not invade [unless you count Nicaragua (7 times), Dominican Republic (4), Haiti (4), etc.], we are not invaders, we are not people that seek gain of territory [might find some Hawaiians, Mexicans, Lakota, Massasoit, Filipinos and Samoans with a slightly different view], oil [oh, hell, where to start], property [*cough, cough* slaves *cough*]”
I thought the same thing – oppression, everything except straight white males, and invade? – Ricky, how about transvaginal probes?! Would you consider that "invasive" if it was up your ass?
"This lady is on it, oh boy is she: "
That is NOT a lady.
I thought it was Rudy Guiliani in drag. Again.
3-BEAT CHANT! 3-BEAT CHANT! 3-BEAT CHANT! 3-BEAT CHANT!
THIS IS WHAT ANALOGY LOOKS LIKE
…when you find a stranger in the alps.
Cheese and Rice! (no kidding; I saw a TV version of Used Cars that actually edited that in.)
You've seen Soderbergh's Schizopolis, right?
Actually, no. Quick, to the Netflix queue!
BLOW ME DOWN! BLOW ME DOWN! BLOW ME DOWN!
No disco beat chants for the Santorum crowds.
America: We don't even need a good reason to invade you – sometimes we just do it for fun!
Sometimes we'll invade just because you dissed our dad. Nobody puts daddy in a corner.
Oil producing nations only need apply.
OT, but: Mitt's a douchebag, part one million…
"Before I take a stand, I want to get input [from military leaders] that are there," Romney said on "Fox News Sunday." "General [John] Allen is coming to Washington and testifying about what the conditions are," he noted, adding that some conclusions can already be drawn.
"I think it is plain to see conditions are not going very well," Romney said. "And I lay part of the blame on that on the lack of leadership on our president."
The former Massachusetts governor called the ongoing U.S. departure from Afghanistan a "failed withdrawal."
Said Romney: "He likewise failed in the way we left Iraq, and this is a president who simply does not have experience in tough situations, no negotiating or leadership experience. And it is showing with the result that one might have expected with the lack of leadership."
Fox News host Bret Baier asked Romney what he would do differently.
"First of all, I would exercise leadership," Romney offered, suggesting he would talk to President Hamid Karzei every day.
Mitt Romney Doesn't Have Enough Information To 'Take A Stand' On Afghanistan
To summarize…
Mitt: Obama is not a leader.
Fox News: What would you do?
Mitt: I don't know because no one's told me what to do yet.
I honestly feel sorry for Mitt. In a way. The guy went from being an ok governor to wanting the POTUS position so badly that he has jettisoned every thing resembling "true beliefs".
Though I disagree with him on everything, I have more respect for Santorum. And Ron Paul. Mitt is just fucking pathetic at this point. But then, I can't wait for the general when all Obama has to do is run non-stop ads of Romney disagreeing with Romney.
BTW, anyone know why "Romney" is seen as a word by the Intense Debate spell check but not "Obama"? How difficult is it to add the President of the United States?
I'm also annoyed by that spelling thing. Neither Barack nor Obama is recognized by my MS spell-check either. And, yes, the pandering IS nauseating.
Spell check code and dictionaries most likely reside in your browser.
I can't feel sorry for someone so devoid of a moral compass he would betray every belief he once had just for the chance to get more power.
Saw that too and was most annoyed by:
Romney also criticized the U.S. decision to withdraw its forces, saying that it had led Karzai to begin distancing himself from the United States. "The president put out a specific timetable for withdrawal and end of combat operations. That is leading Mr. Karzai to take action that is self preservation in nature."
The same Karzai who is telling US and NATO forces to leave Afghan villages? Could Romney be more ignorant of what is happening in Afghanistan?
FFS, for the sake of our national security, not to mention world peace, we can't afford to have Mittens in the White House.
That was a major criticism of the "No Apologies" book…it sounded good if you knew nothing about the rest of the world.
Look at how patriotic they are! They have a big ass flag!
Wait…they have a flag with an ass on it? I'm confused.
Where can I buy one?
The big ass is standing right in front of it. Of course most of the crowd is too so there may be room for interpretation.
OK, thanks.
…don't want one of those…
It's a verbal quirk that the hubs teases me about every time I say it. If I'm talking about something big I'll often say "big ass"-whatever-it-is-I'm-referring-to. I do the same thing with saying "tons of" when I mean "lots of".
'Scool. Lots less annoying than peppering "Y'know" or "Knowwhutahmean?" all though everything you say.
I have a mental quirk that makes me play with words like a big smartass.
I'm proud to say that I almost never use the word "dude" in addressing someone & have never said any statement consisting mostly of the word "like".
Also, I have never spoke in "upspeak".
However, much of my grammar, punctuation, and spelling has went all to hell since my schoolin' days.
Wait, did I use "has" correctly or not? Oh, who cares?
Maybe I'm just fucking lazy, I guess.
It's because they're in the pocket of big ass. Fight the power! Take our baby got back!
A proctologist would have a field day with all the assholes in that room.
oh hey that's pretty cool. all those folks were like "hell yeah, watch those two guys kiss! right out in public! only in America, amirite?? USA! USA! USA!"
Well, never let it be said that homophobes are also fascists/ultra nationalists who equate country with oppressing minorities, or anything.
1- the kids don't look like they were kicked out, it looks like they just left. 2- It's was not a very gay kiss. Of course, even if you were gayly in love, it is an awkward place to kiss. 3- The two old people are great, they look like a corner detail in a Bosch painting. Maybe Breugel. I'm going to try to paint them. 4- It may have been celebratory, like some other people mentioned. Like "Yeah, look at them kiss!! USA USA!! Alright!! Whooo! Take off his pants! USA USA!"
I was thinking of using pointing-lady as my avatar, but my outrage is for such different reasons. Love your idea about the painting detail. A huge mural of a Santorum rally could represent "21st Century Hell."
“What we seek is security for rich, white, straight christian men and liberty and prosperity for rich, white, straight christian me and it’s nothing we rich, white, straight christian men need to apologize for.”
fify.
That was totally two straight trustifarians kissing, god bless them. Way to take one for the team.
…what we’ve done across this country, across this world, it’s not oppress, it’s not invade, we are not invaders, we are not people that seek gain of territory, oil, property.
Rick, here is a partial list of countries/people/territories that would like to have a word with you about your working knowledge of history: Iraq, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Panama, Grenada, Vietnam, both Koreas, Japan, the Dominican Republic, Honduras, Guatemala, Argentina, Venezuela, the Philipines, Germany, Libya, Afghanistan, Russia (yes we invaded them once), Mexico, Puerto Rico, Guam, the Northern Marianas, damn near every Native American tribe that was on this continent at the dawn of the 15th century (and particularly the tribes of the Great Plains in the 1800s – I think the Lakota and the Sioux might have an opinion on this), Canada fer fuck's sake, hell, the old Confederacy – that's right, let's ask some of the nitwits who still dress up in Johnny Reb uniforms to re-enact the Battle of Testicle Ridge or whatever and claim the South is still a nation under occupation, you know, the same morons who are voting for you – and Flying Spaghetti Monster (pasta be upon him) knows how many I'm forgetting because there have been so many opportunities in the 200+ years of the existence of the greatest nation in history for us to beat up on the browns and reds and yellows and blacks of the world and station our troops on their ground to guard our precious oil or mineral rights or dusky native girls. You twit. May your wife leave you for the butchest lesbian in all the land and may all your children dedicate their lives to working in abortion clinics.
"Hey, somebody want to help me get these gays out of here? They're totally screwing up my 'we don't oppress' schtick."
(and yeah, it does look like they just left)
What fucking country does he live in?
A baby wasn't made so it must be a sin.
It seems to me that a German fellow with a funny mustache said the same thing about seeking security for his country when he invaded Poland.
Yes, intervention. It's like a medical procedure. Or trying to get someone into rehab.
I think it's hilarious that they went for the Patriotism card in response to diversity or as a hedge against tolerance.
My issue is with the Human Microphone attempt. It doesn't work unless you have MORE than 2 people. Because then it's just You Shouting, and Someone else repeating you.
My video playback is kind of choppy, so when I saw the black-tee dude kissing the gentleman in green with the Jesus-like locks as if it were some V-Day celebration, I just assumed it was a woman, and that you guys had got it all wrong…until I saw the scruff.
Never have so many words, meant so little, to so few. Nineteen Eighty-Four don't got nuthin' on this bast'id.
BW, I must admit that I have a begruding respect for the Blackhawks.
BTW, liberal groups should totally just show up to rallies and start chanting USA!, becasuse you know the crowd wouldn't get the joke, and would eventually drown out the speaker in chaos thinking they are doing something right. lol This is how you sabotage small-minded people.
Sanatorium won't be nominated but if he is some how, good citizens will go full gay guerilla on his homophobic ass, showing up every where he does to make a fool out of him. And, kissing will be the mildest prank.
Now that Grampa is feeling all sexy he's going to demand a "Blumpkin" tonite.
Now they will all go home and watch Ellen, to them she is a safe lesbian because she gives away free stuff, like snuggies and hoverounds. In all seriousness, chanting USA when expelling a gay couple is no different than the islamafacist crap they are so scared of and want to bomb into the dark ages.
Will someone explain to me why this was not entirely pointless?
Well, clearly the lesson here is if the country wants to encourage patriotism, there needs to be a lot more man-on-man action in public.
"we are not invaders,"
we come in peace! to serve Iraqis! hmmm green sauce….
I just finished a book about Eisenhower as president. wow! did we kick ass… covert ops all over the world. It was great that we overthrew a grass roots reform movement in Guatemala and installed a military dictator.
because.. Communists! and men kissing.. and dogs and cats mating.
Abilities. I have Abilities! Mom was wrong! *sob*
Well, now you've exhibited better grammar than 65% of the people I run into. I ain't no English Snob, neither. It's been a long time since I had formal English classes too, but I love the look of the language and how it feels when I use it well.
I do a bit of writing , among other things, for a living but it's all dreadfully technical stuff. I love to come in to Wonkette and just let my head unwind, getting away with things that are absolutely Verboten in the workplace. Being able to describe someone who pissed you off as "That Cunt" is a bonus, too and I hope I never screw up and put the phrase into a work email, or worse.
Abilities as in the fact that we are specially abled?
I'm afraid you're going to have to actually walk to the nearest hipster video store to find this. When I searched on Netflix, the search returned "High School Musical", for some reason.
Amazon has it on VHS, used, like-new, for only $1.76.
And when you're done with that, watch Full Frontal and The Limey. I'd never laughed so hard as I did at Nicky Katt's performances in both of these fine movies.
Do we get our own bus? Can I say that?
A bus of dubious proportions? I'm doing it again! Somebody stop me; for the love of god, stop me! I'll tell you what hell is; hell is separation from Wonkette for even a day.
A differently-sized bus?
You'll know when it's all gone Too Far when Wonkette-isims begin to creep into your everyday conversions and professional writing. Take it from me.
Oh, so very good to see you.
