Fox News actually asks Rick Santorum tough questions

BY ANDREA HOUSTON – It’s not very often I applaud a Fox News interviewer. In fact, I don’t think I have ever done that. So there’s a first for everything.

Bravo, Chris Wallace, who challenged Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum on his ridiculous (and racist) logic about why he would reinstate Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.

“I know the gay community is trying to make this the new civil rights act. It’s not the same thing. You are black by the colour of your skin. You are not homosexual, obviously, by the colour of your skin.”

Here is a group of awesome students and teaches also asking some tough questions. Santorum is lamenting that the rest of the world considers him a bigot. He tells students that “no one is making the argument that [being gay] is a good thing.” He is quickly corrected by a brave student. Santorum responds by shouting sarcastically at her. He then calls her a “lawyer” for asking questions he can’t answer.
