Santorum tells hecklers they should get a job ......

and forgets that the same rally is being attended by pro Ricky persons. Why are they not called part of the unemployed? Both sides are yelling at each other but only the Dems are unemployed (and presumambly) have time on their hands because of gov't hand outs?

http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/video-demonstrators-interrupt-rick-santorum-speech-oklahoma-city-233123009.html

The anti-Santorum faction began chanting "Get your hate out of our state" when the candidate started his address. Standing before a microphone at the top of the steps, Santorum ignored them and continued speaking. The demonstration lasted about 15 minutes.

Santorum supporters standing near the front of the crowd tried to come to his aid by holding signs in front of the demonstrators and shouting, "We pick Rick! We pick Rick!" Some of the anti-Santorum demonstrators ripped the signs out of supporters' hands.

The crowd cheered as the demonstrators left, and Santorum finished his speech, saying at one point that the departed crowd members should get jobs instead of shouting at public events.

You and the rest of us are going to have to work until the day we drop dead. Or we will be left to starve on the street. That's you Christian charity for you.

How is this guy even being considered for becoming president? He should be ashamed of himself.

It's a sign they got to you and you aren't smart enough to do the dozens on them.
