A few things Santorum currently says he didn't say...

Rainy-day-fun for anyone who enjoys deciphering tapes...

Santorum on CNN today said that in the man-on-dog comment he was plainly saying, if you would read the transcript, that gay marriage is NOT like man-on-dog.

He also said that he did not say that he would't give black people other people's money. He says that he didn't say the word "black" at all, but was stumbling over some other word and it only sounded like "black"

(Who creates speciffic targets like that? Politicians are supposed to be vague for a reason.)

1. He is right. But he DID say this about the Roman Catholic Church sex abuse scandal:

Santorum said that the scandal involved priests and post-pubescent men in "a basic homosexual relationship" (not child sexual abuse)

2. I assumed he was not right.

3. Wiki has a good account of it all

When Jordan asked "Okay, without being too gory or graphic, so if somebody is homosexual, you would argue that they should not have sex?" Santorum's response concluded:[7]
"In every society, the definition of marriage has not ever to my knowledge included homosexuality. That's not to pick on homosexuality. It's not, you know, man on child, man on dog, or whatever the case may be. It is one thing. And when you destroy that you have a dramatic impact on the quality —" (At this point, Jordan commented, "I'm sorry, I didn't think I was going to talk about 'man on dog' with a United States senator, it's sort of freaking me out," coining a phrase widely used in connection with this incident.)[7]

4. How about the black comment?

5. He very clearly said that.
