Rick Santorum compares ISIS propaganda to NYT

[Panich52]

Why should Frothy Saintorum sound so surprised ISIL quotes him correctly? 1: both are radical theocrats; 2: Frothy's hate-mongering, bigoted, Islamophobia helps ISIL recruit.

Former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pennsylvania), a potential 2016 presidential candidate, thinks the Islamic State's propaganda has done a better job at quoting him than The New York Times.

In a Fox News interview on Wednesday, Santorum said the jihadist propaganda magazine Dabiq accurately depicted what he said about the Islamic State group (also known as ISIS).

"The difference is ISIS actually quoted me accurately compared to The New York Times. Which is sort of a remarkable comment on the state of the media today," Santorum said without specifying his specific complaints about The Times' reporting.

 Santorum, the runner-up in the 2012 GOP presidential primary, was reacting to the Islamic State magazine reportedly singling him out as one of several American politician "crusaders" in a section titled, "In the words of the enemy."

Santorum told Fox News that the jihadist publication likely featured his words because other US politicians — notably President Barack Obama — refuse to directly acknowledge the Islamic nature of the Islamic State. Obama has said he doesn't want to treat the militants as religious leaders. 

"They put it out there because it accurately described who they are. Which is, again, a comment on this administration and their unwillingness to deal directly with the truth about who ISIS is. They're a global jihadist movement. They've established a caliphate; they want to expand that caliphate. And I explained what that was about. So I took it as them actually finding an American politician who actually described them as to who they really are," he said.
