Mocking the man-dog-love-obsessed ex-Senator Rick Santorum
(graphic: mine, from the Tidmus archives)
In a comment, Carrie Prejean supporter F Sanders asks:
OH, one last thought…why don’t we let people marry and have sex with their dogs next…why not?? Oh, jeez, is this already going on and do the gay people have it on the ballet for the next election :)
My response:
You call that a “thought?” What is with this peculiar Christianist obsession with fucking and marrying animals?
This loony-tunes fixation on bestiality and inter-species marriage didn’t originate with F Sanders. Jim Burroway at Box Turtle Bulletin has a round-up of Christian kookiness on the subject that begins with Texas Senator John Cornyn: “It does not affect your daily life very much if your neighbor marries a box turtle. But that does not mean it is right… Now you must raise your children up in a world where that union of man and box turtle is on the same legal footing as man and wife.”
There’s more:
- Bill O’Reilly, during a shouting match with a guest, confessed his love for a duck: “The people who want to marry a duck can come in, all right. …If I want to marry a duck… I have a right to marry the duck, alright? … And leave my house to a duck.”
- Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pa), in describing marriage as being between a man and a woman, added, “It’s not, you know, man on child, man on dog, or whatever the case may be”.
- Rev. Jimmy Swaggart thought that politicians who supported marriage equality “all oughta have to marry a pig and live with him forever.”
- After considering his options, Bill O’Reilly apparently changed his mind and decided to forsake his duck for a goat: “…Somebody’s gonna come in and say, ‘I wanna marry the goat.’ You’ll see it; I guarantee you’ll see it.”
Let’s not forget former Terry Schiavo lawyer David Gibbs III, who last month suggested, “Maybe people will want to marry their pets or… [dramatic pause] …their robots.”
My poor little Roomba just scooted under the couch.
These are not well people. These are people who should seriously consider getting professional help.
