Wow Oy Vey Maria! Rick Santorum on the Evils of Rock ... and Academia ... and Protestants ... and ...
Posted by Jack Silverman on Wed, Feb 22, 2012 at 4:44 PM
It's becoming increasingly clear that Rick Santorum is not only very conservative, but in fact bat-shit crazy. And now, we find out that he feels rock 'n' roll is the work of Satan. And he really means Satan. As in the dude with the horns.
At this 2008 speech at Ave Maria University, he first rambles on about about how Satan has taken over academia — "They were in fact, smarter than everybody else! They could come up with something new and different. Pursue new truths!" Horrors! New ideas! New truths!
Next up, mainstream Protestantism, which he says is in a shambles after being taken over by Satan. And — surprise! — he gives Catholics a pass.
Then, at about 3:15, he says:
The corruption of culture, the corruption of manners, the corruption of decency is now on display whether it's the NBA, at a rock concert, or on a movie screen.
This is some of craziest, most unhinged rambling I've heard out of a major presidential candidate in my lifetime. Yowza! You owe it to yourself to listen to the whole thing. Incredible.
