Good riddance to bad rightwing Christian warrior rubbish that should have been dumped years ago.

We can, amidst this mayhem of mendacity, take solace that words matter to cable TV culture warriors when qualifying as unforced, offensive, and witless blunders. Displaying fourth-grade obliviousness to the over ten thousand year lineage of “American history,” Santorum was buried in criticism a month ago, inspiring even hard-bitten pundits to wonder, “Are all Republicans, even those not awash in the worst extremism, that badly educated, getting dumber and dumber by just staying Republican”? The answer: apparently so.
So, here’s shocking good news: this prominent, retired Republican blowhard bursting with willful ignorance gets his full comeuppance. Fifteen minutes online checking sources would have saved his well-paid employment for this once-time frequent, ex-CNN contributor. Instead, he poured out revisionist nonsense that Puritans, and Puritans alone are responsible for what makes America great. Though I claim no influence on CNN, I did cover the Santorum outrage weeks ago, “Clueless Santorum perpetrates ‘second genocide’ of Native Americans.”
