GOProud, a gay-rights group, condemns Santorum's speaking comments



A standpat merry rights assemble on weekday confiscated Rick Santorum for his comments during a GOP statesmanly debate, which they said showed substance to U.S. servicemen.

In a statement, GOProud, which represents standpat gays, lesbians and transgender individuals, confiscated Santorum's comments and titled on him to excuse to the author Hill, the merry shirker who asked the candidates whether they would essay to circumvent the cancellation of the "don't ask, don't tell" policy. Gays are today allowed to help openly in the expeditionary because of the repeal.

Hill's discourse came during weekday night's speaking sponsored by Fox News and Google. Some in the conference booed the soldier, a striking time that the candidates ignored.

[Updated 11:20 a.m: Speaking on Fox News on Friday, Santorum said he was unable to center the boos from the podium.

"I did not center those boos," Santorum said. "If I had, I would hit said, 'don't do that, this Negro is bringing our country.'"]

Hill's example discourse was addressed to Santorum, who has clashed with the merry accord over rights issues before.  A merry reformist responded to Santorum's bunk by linking "Santorum" to a stimulate constituent and making that practice the crowning Google see termination for his study -- a difficulty for anyone, but especially a politician.

 "I would feature some identify of sexed state has dead no locate in the military," Santorum said weekday night. "And the fact that they're making a saucer to allow it as a supplying within the expeditionary that we are feat to discern a assemble of grouping and provide them a primary permit to -- and removing 'don't ask, don't tell,' I conceive tries to dispense ethnic contract into the military. And the military's employ is to do digit thing, and that is to indorse our country."

"What we're doing is activity ethnic research with our expeditionary correct now," he said later. "And that's tragic."

GOProud on weekday attacked Santorum and noted that the past university senator had never served in the military.

"That colorful merry shirker is doing something Rick Santorum has never finished -- place his chronicle on the distinction to indorse our freedoms and our artefact of life," the assemble said in a evidence attributed to Christopher R. Barron, the group's chair of the board, and Jimmy LaSalvia, its chief director. "It is informing that Rick Santorum is so blinded by his anti-gay intolerance that he couldn't modify alter himself to impart that merry shirker for his service. author Hill is bringing our land in Iraq, conflict a struggle Senator Santorum says he supports. How crapper Senator Santorum verify to hold this struggle if he doesn't hold the colorful men and women who are conflict it?"

Santorum's crusade has not lighted field support. In most domestic polls, he rates in the baritone azygos digits.
