Santorum held some backward, offensive, and wrong views of the homosexual community and to a lesser but relevant extent women. I don't agree with him but he had a right to lose the primary saying them. And I'm not telling anyone they shouldn't be put off by his statements, but you need to make the case for why he's wrong, not scream about his "evil" he is and celebrate a medical condition in one of his children.

I don't think Family is fair game - they didn't choose to run just like I'm sure Bella (his daughter) didn't choose to have her genetic condition. You can rail against a mans beliefs, but theres no reason to get personal. When you do you look petty, unintelligent, and rutterless. There are plenty of ways to attack Rick Santorum on principles alone.

from reading this article, though, he seems to hold a lot of those crackpot Conservative ideals

I live in Canada though, so me participating in this discussion is kind of moot.
