Statistically, Rick Santorum is just two more homophobic remarks away ...

1. I always envisioned the FBI exhuming dozens of corpses buried around his properties

and a nationwide manhunt for the sweater vest-wearing freak.

2. That does seem to be the pattern

The more self-rightious these guys get, the more I think they are desperately trying to deflect detection.

6. Here's how I see it. Rmoney is the choosed one by the oligarchs. The grass-root

fools think they want Sanitorium or The Newt or what's his name, but they are ignorant followers. If necessary, I believe Karl Rove can bring Sanitoruim down in a heartbeat. The oligarchs will have their guy and it will be Mit-shmit or Jeb, I'm not dumb like my brother, Bush.

4. Statistically nearly all homophobes are straight.

The straight community is not happy with that, so they like to pretend that their most hateful people are actually gay. Sorry. The straight community IS why homophobia rules, were it not for them, the discrimination and slander would not exist.
So sure, make with the funny, just do not forget the actual truth, and that the straight community actually does need to put an end to the floods of intolerance that are created in that community.
This sort of post gets old, the joke is tired.

9. Ding ding ding! Winner.

That'll never get through on DU.

The bad guys have to be gay -

11. Hmm. Science shows statistically, the opposite.

I'm sure you've heard over and over about the two Univ of Georgia studies (a link to a summary shown below for the benefit of others)

So why do you discount these studies and the findings? That is not sarcasm - I am truly interested in your explanation and what other studies you place more value in. I think there is a lot of value in science, in particular psychologists and neuroscientists investigating this brand of disillusion and self-loathing and methods to help these young men. Not to mention a chance to nip any violence in the bud.


This article sums up a couple of landmark studies with similar findings.

-- snip
In this study, 64 self-reported straight males with a mean age of 20.3 years were divided into two groups (“non-homophobic men” and “homophobic men”) on the basis of their scores on a questionnaire measure of aversion to gay males. - - snip

However, as predicted, only the homophobic men showed a significant increase in penile circumference in response to the gay male porn: specifically, 26 percent of these homophobic men showed “moderate tumescence” (6-12 mm) to this video and 54 percent showed “definite tumescence” (more than 12 mm). (In contrast, for the non-homophobic men, these percentages were 10 and 24, respectively.) Furthermore, the homophobic men significantly underestimated their degree of sexual arousal to the gay male porn. "
-- end of snip

26% moderate arousal
54% definite arousal

Add those together - 80% of all the young homophobes in the study were strongly aroused by the men on men videos (and not the hetero porn). Hmmm...

THE CREEPIEST THING EVER.

7. I have a hunch it's just the creepiest thing we know about. nm

10. On Face the Nation

Scheiffer called the infant a "still born" (I didn't see the show but they replay the audio overnight on Sundays/early Monday on a local news radio station here and heard it).

Santorum went off on that statement, forcing Scheiffer to apologize, as apparently the infant was "2 hours old" before it died.

The man needs to be locked away.

8. Should we start a pool?

How long before Rick Santorum gets caught pulling a Haggard?

I give him five months.
