Santorum Invents New Front in Fake War on Religion: Obama Wants Female Catholic Priests
On Fox News this morning, GOP presidential candidate Rick Santorum doubled down on this bizarre claim that Obama is going after religion — falsely claiming that the president wants to tell Catholics who they can hire as priests:
What they’ve done here is a direct assault on the First Amendment, not only a direct assault on the freedom of religion, by forcing people specifically to do things that are against their religious teachings… . This is a president who, just recently, in this Hosanna-Tabor case was basically making the argument that Catholics had to, you know, maybe even had to go so far as to hire women priests to comply with employment discrimination issues. This is a very hostile president to people of faith. He’s a hostile president, not just to people of faith, but to all freedoms.
I really hope this bucket head wins the nom. It’ll be a lot easier demonstrating this guy is completely bonkers than someone like Romney who is “smart enough” to flip flop depending on his audience.
