Santorum Rips Obama: Thugs Need Only to Call U.S. an Oppressor and Obama ‘Will Sympathize With You’

Sep. 13, 2012 9:38am Billy Hallowell

Former Republican presidential candidate and Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum ripped President Barack Obama on Wednesday during an appearance on the “Scott Hennen Show.” In a moment of candid discussion about this week’s events in the Middle East, the politician lambasted Obama’s handling of situations that involve America’s foes.

“If you’re a thug, you need to just wrap yourself in victimhood and call the United States an oppressor and this president will sympathize with you,” Santorum said.

Listen to his comments, below:

During the appearance, Santorum also defended presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s response to the Middle Eastern attacks. He pointed to liberals’ past reactions to President George W. Bush during times of war and uncertainty in an effort to paint a double-standard of sorts among those same individuals who are now criticizing Romney.

“Look at the response of the left to President Bush on a variety of different occassions when we saw actions against civilian and military personnel in Iraq and Afghanistan,” he said. “What Mitt Romney said is absolutely true.”

Santorum went on to say that Obama and the State Department didn’t “stand up for the values of this country” and that they, once again, showed weakness. Their actions, he said, were akin to “cower[ing]” to “radical Islamic terrorists.” Santorum also defended free speech, even when it contains unpleasant messaging.

“We should not be sending out communiques apologizing for what is one of the great things about this country which is our ability to criticize anything in the public square,” he said.

Stop sending all aid to the Middle East, including the largest recipient, Israel. End it all, and mind our own business.

islam was created by the devil himself. the people are just being used by the devil and are dumb enough to believe it is God. it will never change because they will not let the real word of God into their country. i bet if these islamic leaders could get out out hell and come back to earth they would live a different life. the devil is real and hell is real only one place or the other we will spend eternity. this president is an idiot and a muslim.

I personally give a STANDING OVATION to ANYONE who actually STANDS UP FOR AMERICAN VALUES. One of those VALUES is the FREEDOM OF SPEECH. If we do not take a strong stand on this one…., if we LOSE OUR FREEDOM OF SPEECH…..then Islam is yet one step closer to taking over our Country.

WE SHOULD ALL BE YELLING AT THE PRESIDENT to STAND UP FOR AMERICAN RIGHTS! STOP APPOLOGIZING FOR OUR FREEDOMS!!!!!!!!!

And if anyone of you on this site feel that we should give up our freedom of speech… then LEAVE THIS COUNTRY and go ride a camel. (Oh, and while you are doing that…make sure you get at the very least, hijabs, if not a burka for all the woman in your life).

OUR PRESIDENT IS A NATIONAL DISGRACE… AND WE ALL NEED TO STAND UP ON THIS ONE.

  The Embassy of the United States in Cairo condemns the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims – as we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions. Today, the 11th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States, Americans are honoring our patriots and those who serve our nation as the fitting response to the enemies of democracy. Respect for religious beliefs is a cornerstone of American democracy. We firmly reject the actions by those who abuse the universal right of free speech to hurt the religious beliefs of others.

  You make this too easy ENCINOM/MONICNE/SLEAZY HIPPO…
  
  “The Embassy of the United States in Cairo condemns the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims (aww..those poor easily outraged, psycopathic muslims right ENCIDIOT?) — as we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions.”
  
  “Some have sought to justify this vicious behavior as a response to inflammatory material posted on the Internet. The United States deplores any intentional effort to denigrate the religious beliefs of others (this is called an apology for the movie ENCIDIOT). Our commitment to religious tolerance goes back to the very beginning of our nation (this is called lip service and platitudes ENCIDIOT). But let me be clear: There is never any justification for violent acts of this kind,” -Hillary Clinton Secretary of State.
  
  Tell me ENCIDIOT…does the embassy and the state department speak for the administration or not?
  
  Hillary’s see-saw act between apologizing to the muslim mob for free speech and pretending to be defending free speech is particularly comical, no?
  
  So does the embassy and the state department speak for the administration ENCINOM/MONICNE/ad nauseum or not?
  
  Please dont’ insult my intelligence by invoking the white house’s flaccid response..”this wasn’t authorized”. Hillary’s apology is unauthorized as well is it?

  Not sure if you’re aware ENCIDIOT/MONICNE/SLEAZY HIPPO/ad nauseum….but when the secretary of state or a currently serving U.S. ambassador speaks in an official capacity…then they’re representing the adminstration in office. See…Barry can’t say “I didn’t say that” because in the context of being respresented by a proxy in an embassy or by the state department..he IS saying it, these people are authorised to speak on the administration’s behalf.
  Oh we all know Barry’s style by now ENCIDIOT…had the apologies actually worked (dream on right ENCIDIOT?), he’d have taken credit for his “smart” diplomacy (just like he spiked the football and made a bumper sticker out of killing OBL when all the work was done by special ops and intelligence units thanks to the policies of “Dubyah”). But because 4 Americans are dead because Barry’s too busy with Letterman and fundraisers than to attend intelligence meetings…then “the white house didn’t authorise it”. But you can’t pick and choose which statements you like from your official surrogates acting on your administration’s behalf and which ones you don’t like ENCIDIOT. When they speak under the auspices of the U.S government they speak for the administration. Savvy?

  Oh, My – the Liverpool longhair has struck again! Vilifying, vacuous Mr. Death Bass!
  
  Although I agree with your desires that this will be a bad day for Obummer, that statement by State was NOT an apology – it was a official declaration that the Administration deplores certain behavior.
  
  You are pushing this too far and making your self look silly, AwanKer! By your twisted logic, every soldier in the field represents the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the Commander In Chief, who must be solely to blame (instead of totally accountable) for anything they ever do; and when LT Calley torched a village, the Army had no right to denounce his behavior.
  
  You do not have to be the source of a bad thing to be accountable for it. You accept it happened and fix it. What about chain of command do you not understand, lil’ platypussy?
  
  By the way, are you an American now? If so, you should stand for justice and grace under fire.
  
  At least Mr. Romney has shown as much backbone as Sarah and Allen have shown.

  Still waiting to see the Administration’s apology. Gov. Romney was reckless, wrong and crass in his remarks. The Republicans in the House and Senate have certainly not come to his defense, Priebus, Santorum, Palin, and a few others with no political future left have defended him. The administration sis not apologize. In fact their condemnation, which is fairly typical diplomatic language under this and the last eight or ten administrations, came well before any attacks on embassies. Romney and the far-right have it wrong, even most of FOX is saying so, and claiming he got it right is going to get him buried in November. What if he had said; “In this time of tradgedy, I share all Americans outrage at this violence, and stand with the President in condemning it.” He would have looked Presidential. It would have been sensible, reasonable, and it would have helped him immensly electorally. Now he will soon be chasing his tail explaining these comments, the timeline, and why he chose to paly negative politics over an attack on America, on September 11 of all dates. Keep spewing hate about the President and ignoring the victims of this attack, but realize the GOP nominated another loser, one who appears wounded and desperate, qualities Mrs. Palin proved will turn moderate Americans off in a big hurry.

  Wow MONICNE/ECINOM/SLEAZY HIPPO/ad nauseum..you’re really trying to cover up the stink Hillary made aren’t you little fella? Does logging in as MONICNE instead ENCINOM make you believe you can merely hurl some insults and some 2 plus 2 equals 9 “logic” about equating soldiers with diplomats and politicians and your idiocies will be overlooked? Deluded much?
  
  Hillary’s apologizing for the film clownshoes. It’s clear as the scales on your skin little reptile. She’s trying to sit on both sides of the fence for the sake of appearances but pandering indeed she is to muslim sensibilities. Coupled with the embassy’s apology the first response of the adminstration was to appease and kowtow to muslims at the expense of the right to free speech here in the U.S. Yes stupid…the embassy and the state department speak for the administration, they’re not soldiers under orders, they’re diplomats and political entities. Is this lost on you oh benighted one? Apparently it is.
  
  And grace under fire clownshoes? You’re the cur that runs when I ask you about Obama’s debt and joblessness the way you do in your imaginary life as an imaginary soldier in Vietnam.

  First off, you bag of slime, you have never proven your flaccid cur accusations that I am supposed to be Encino man, “ad nauseum” when it is clear to Blaze alumni that I am a totally separate and exactly opposite human being. You do know what Opposites are, don’t you diddums. Put up or shut up, slimebag. I own you on this one.
  You never asked Monicne your silly meaningless questions about Obummer, they were directed at Encinom, so why would I need to address them? I could care less about him.
  Secondly, I have never ever claimed to be a soldier. If you have me ever writing that, put up the evidence. For those of us who actually served, the name, “soldier” has a clear meaning. No Marine or Airman or Sailor or Corpsman or Nurse would ever misuse it the way you do.
  By the way, novice American, being a “veteran” and being a “soldier” are not the same thing. While I may have been behind the lines, I served with honor and I am a proud female Vietnam Veteran still active in the military community and in veterans groups that make a difference in the lives of all US military families and national security. So kiss it, Aussie Troll! You continue to pose as an American but are just a parasite. You are intentionally hurting what America is.

  By the way MONICNE/ENCINOM/SLEAZY HIPPO/ad nauseum…you just referred to yourself in the third person…”You never asked Monicne your silly meaningless questions…”. This was easily your clumsiest attempt to hide your various screennames but then again…you’re particularly unhinged here today and you do have a penchant for forgetting who you’re posting as at any given time.
  
  Wouldn’t someone who’s telling the truth say “you haven’t asked “ME” that question”? You clearly need some help keeping “yourselves” in order.
  
  But in your case..you’re so used to logging in and out of many different screennames here that you have to delineate which personality you are referencing.
  
  And yes I have asked you in your guise as MONICNE those same “silly, meaningless questions” only last week in fact. And you ran like a cur saying you’ll answer them on the weekend when you believed I wouldn’t be around. A little like what you just did today.

Actually this fits right into the premise of the movie 2016, as it paints Obama as an “anticolonialist”,
that is exactly how he is acting and speaking.
Maybe it is time to just walk away from the mideast, we’re never going to fix it and they are never going to quit fighting, they have been fighting over there for 2000 years and most of it for some type of religion or religious freedom.
As we say in Texas…..Bueno Bye

  Sawbucks.. I wondering if you nderstand the process. If the house passes a bill it goes to the Senate and it is voted on there and if it passes it goes on to the presidents desk where he can sign it of veto it. since 2006 the only party that has controlled both the house and the senate are the Demo’s not the Repub’s. Check it out gooogle it you will also find that the decline in our economy started in 2006 with the election of a Demo house and senate with a veto proof house and senate. So in short it’s the Demos in the Senate and the President that are responsible for the loss of freedoms albeit with some help from the Repubs.

Santorum is correct. Obama hangs with thugs and he is a thug, a marxist thug. I also agree with him about free-speech. It is a person’s right not too like Islam and to make a film exposing it. The libs start talking about ‘hate speech’ when referring to the film. Since when is criticizing something a ‘hate speech’ and since when is ‘hate speech’ a crime. One person’s ‘hate speech’ is another’s ‘truth’. This is the US,…not the USSR…not yet. When muslims make up something to kill Americans for…we need to punish them severely and with great prejudice.

  While I agree that Christendom and Western Civilization in general have never been welcomed in Persia, many of these other lands are historically bastions of The West. Egypt, now a land torn by Jihad, was once the center of Western Civilization.
  
  We should let Persia continue their centuries-long dance with the Allah as it serves our interests. Were they to enjoy a Renaissance, we would find in them a potent rival. As it is, Islam and Allah have reduced Persia to a third-world dung heap.
  
  As for Western lands occupied by muslims engaged in Jihad, such as Egypt, we should expel the invaders and reclaim what is ours. From Constantinople to Triana, we should take back our lands and expel the muslims hordes, liberating our long-suffering brothers and sisters.

  Egypt was never a western land. It was an occupied land forced to be western.

“We should not be sending out communiques apologizing for what is one of the great things about this country which is our ability to criticize anything in the public square,”

Agreed, but tell that to Brandon Raub. I think Mr. Santorum’s definition of the freedom we enjoy in the US might be a little outdated.

  Say what?
  
  Who the heck is that? I’ve been here for years under one name. Do you take issue with what I said or do you just sling around meaningless and inflammatory posts?

  It seems he’s a bit more relevant than you are. What have you done lately?

  He is still relevant, as an example of how religion can damage one’s brain. Of cause his name is relevant as google search term, just don’t google it at work.

  Jerk,I have a suggestion for you. Go to one your of your type of WebSites and stay there when you get there. Spout your Anti-American views on those WebSites and stay off of ours. It is you that are not relevant. I will say it again you GUTLESS COWARD.

  since you desire to go off track, and point to an absurd and vulgar definition found in google,
  I would like to challenge your very words, and give you an opportunity to come clean before a world wide audience,
  
  You said ‘religion damaged his brain,’ and I assume you mean that it damages ‘everybody’s brain,’ however, since words mean things, and I believe there are absolutes, I dare you to find fault with the following definition of religioin, and how it damages the brain; but please know, I am not trying to debase you, you can do that without my help.
  
  ‘Pure religion and undefiled befor GOd and the Father is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction….’ so the question: how does visiting the fatherless and widows damage the brain???
  Maybe you have religion mixed up with something else? (by the way, this definition is found in the book you despise)

  Oh, John Vincent, empathy and morality are not the sole domain of religion, and in many ways are the very opposite of religion. As religions teach their followers to hate those that do not worship in the same way or the same made up deity.
  
  Santorum has compared Americans seeking equal rights to the terrorist behind 9/11, only religion can warp one’s views to such an extreme level.

  john vincent:
  
  Your definition is nothing more than words strung together. Religions are nothing more than mind control cults, brainwashing members to believe a certain set of myths to be facts.

  Encinom – You shouldn’t be calling religion evil when it’s you Marxists who have killed more people throughout history than all religions combined.
