Rick Santorum advocates assassinations of foreign scientists


watch: http://easley.patch.com/articles/santorum-condones-selective-assassination#video-8234836


At a campaign stop on Tuesday in Greenville, former U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum spoke at length about foreign policy.

After being introduced by U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., Santorum blasted the Obama Administration for its handling of the Middle East and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Santorum was especially forceful regarding countries who pose a nuclear threat, advocating for the selective assassination of scientists from countries such as Russia, North Korea and Iran. .........(more)

1. So Ricky would have been OK for the Allies to kill Werner Von Braun?
Gee Ricky - be careful what you wish for. You could change history.

3. As long as the President declares them an "EVIL DOER", that would be perfectly consistent

11. Really!
Why should someone expect to be treated differently by us just because he's a scientist or something? We have arrogated to ourselves the right to kill anyone, anywhere, based on nothing more than our say-so - citizen, non-citizen, military, civilian.

12. Pro-lifers are really pro-death
It's amazing how much someone who proudly claims the title of "pro-life" almost invariably advocates life-destroying, death worshipping policies across the board.

7. How Christian of him to advocate murder. What part of Thou Shalt Not Kill does he not understand?

8. Well, he's trying
This year you've got to advocate killing and executing people, hurting people, or letting them die to win the Republican nomination. He still can't top Herman Cain's vow to electrocute illegal liens or kill them in an alligator moat, but Santorum is trying his best to come up with something.

9. Pretty sure scientists have families and loved ones. I those who live in the US do.

10. C'mon, Rick- admit it, you'd like to get rid of ALL of 'em.
...along with their pesky 'facts'
