Santorum Watch - No Pink Balls Edition

March 29th, 2012

This kind of thing that makes me wonder how many casual, throwaway exercises in fearful hatred are being missed when the press is not around.

Via the HRC website:

"At a campaign event at a bowling alley in Wisconsin today, GOP presidential hopeful Rick Santorum told a boy who reached for a pink bowling ball: "You're not gonna use the pink ball. We're not gonna let you do that. Not on camera." Santorum went on to say "Friends don’t let friends use pink balls." The comments were tweeted by Reuters reporter Sam Youngman." (EMPHASIS MINE)

It has come to this. The GOP base is flirting with nominating a man so virulently homophobic that he would order someone else's child not to use a pink bowling ball.

So much for small government.
