Santorum Slams NYT Reporter: 'Stop Lying' - 'Quit Distorting Our Words' - 'It's Bulls--t!'
Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum had a very testy exchange with New York Times reporter Jeff Zeleny at a campaign stop in Wisconsin Sunday evening.
In the midst of the encounter, Santorum angrily said, "Stop lying...Quit distorting our words...It's bulls--t!" (video follows with transcribed highlights and commentary):
After Zeleny asked Santorum, “You said that Mitt Romney was the worst Republican in the country – is that true," the former Pennsylvania senator incredulously asked, “What speech did you listen to? Stop lying!"
Santorum continued, “I said he was the worst Republican to run on the issue of ObamaCare, and that’s what I was talking about. I have said uniquely, for every speech I give, he is uniquely disqualified to run against Barack Obama on the issue of health care.”
“Would you guys quit distorting what I’m saying?” asked Santorum.
Zeleny wasn’t listening, and responded, “Do you think he is the worst Republican?”
Santorum didn’t let him finish and instead reiterated, “To run against Barack Obama on the issue of health care, because he fashioned the blueprint. I've been saying it in every speech. Quit distorting our words. If I see it, it's bulls—t. C'mon man, what are you doing?"
Zeleny then asked, “Who’s distorting your words?”
Santorum shot back, “You did by asking me that question.”
“You sound upset about something, Senator,” Zeleny replied.
“I’m upset when the media distorts what I say,” replied Santorum. “Yeah, I am. I do get upset.”
As Santorum kept walking down the line of supporters wanting autographs, he continued glaring at Zeleny adding, “Because you knew exactly what I was saying, and you misrepresented it.”
“Are you guys in the business of reporting the truth, or are you here to try to spin and make news?” Santorum asked Zeleny. “Stop it!”
Shaking his head in aggravation, Santorum continued, “You know, you guys don’t care about the truth at all, do you? You really don’t. Asking that question shows me you don’t care at all about the truth.”

This is proof positive that the country is all but on life support with several plugs to choose from all having the same effect: rendering the USA as we know it dead. And the media has been complicit in getting there. Which is ironic, once the US is dead, what the hell does the media think it will do when the fit hits the shan for them? Anything that happens in this country happens to them too.
As to the several plugs, some of it could happen as soon as the next month or so with ObeymeCare. If SCOTUS doesn't rule that crap unconstitutional, that's it. We're done as a country with a constitutional represenative republic. By all rights, they SHOULD declare it null and void and have it tossed out. But we have people there that think otherwise. That's another plug.
One's almost pulled all the way, which is Congress itself, they are taking NO action against the dictator in chief with his actions, especially his recent ones, not counting his conversation with medved of Russia. By all rights, they can have the US military depose this dictator but they refuse to for various reasons, all of them illogical.
The biggest plug is the American people. That's something that's been a bane to freedom lovers like myself and many of us on here, that he could somehow get re-elected(nevermind getting elected in the first place). If that happens, that's the plug that'll be pulled out all the way.
God help us.

Get a grip folks. Go back and read Tom's posts and then the comments that follow. The discussion is on MEDIA BIAS, lies and intentional misrepresentation of the news, not whether you want Santorum or Romney. I've been pretty stunned by how many are falling right into the game the media is playing. I'm very sorry to say my 24 year niece is one of them. She's decided that since no one has the 'right' to tell her whether she can use "birth control" she's 'just not going to vote for president.'
So there, that'll show em!
It's grow up time people and time to use intellect and fact, not emotion. We've been bitching about Santorum and the GOP not showing any fight. Yet when he does we bitch because of the way he goes about it.

Your comment reminds me of the guy in the midst of a historic battle during a war. As his side continues to advance, while not yet achieving total victory and annihilation of the enemy, he looks around and sees some of his fallen comrades and says, "See, they're still killing us, so we can't therefore be winning".
Public awareness of media bias is at an all-time high. Yes, they still do it and get away with it sometimes, but that number is on a downward trajectory. But as evidenced by Newt's behavior and audience responses during the early debates...the MSM no longer holds total and unchallenged sway over the news of the day.

Good for you, Rick. It may not do you much good at this point in the campaign, but you'll get a lot of support any time you trash the media for what they really are.
Can I now make a prediction? You won't see any alliances between Romney and Santorum. In other words, don't expect to see Santorum as a running mate. Too bad. Unless you see a Rubio as a running mate, I think Romney will go down in flames. Sorry, Anne... If the conservative base has raised eyebrows over Romney, Christy isn't going to do much to help that.

Very much in agreement there Bru.
There were only two things that the candidates should have been attacking during this election season, Obama, the do nothing Congress and the media lapdogs.
Ok that was three things. :-)
All the candidates should have been putting forth their ideas and plans for getting the country back on track. Newt from what I saw avoided attacking the other candidates and did attack Obama and call out the media quite often. The other candidates, especially in the debates, fell for the media trap and tried tearing up each other as much as possible.
And you know something? The only candidate that even HAD a plan was Herman Cain. How long did he last after the high tech lynching he was subjected to?

Submitted by Seashell on Mon, 03/26/2012 - 11:00am.
Before the SC primary, just about everyone I talked to did not know who to vote for. After Newt's King smack down, people (many of whom said they had to "hold their nose" to do so) decided to vote for Newt just to send a big "middle finger" to the liberal press. You are absolutely right, you would think they would have caught on to this.

The policy differences between Romney and Obama are huge with free enterprise and the support of business growth being the most critical one. A second Obama term will me higher taxes accross the board, soaring gas prices, more presidential mandates (with no congressional approval) and higher unemployment. If that isn't important....then I guess stay home and let Obama win.

Get the point? The Romneybots are the ones who are doing so much harm to the Republican cause by falling all over themselves to see who is the one who gets infront of the media and agrees with them when the media distorts or takes out of complete context Santorum's words.
On healthcare, Romney and Obama are one and the same. You may also want to explain Romney's donations to Planned Parenthood. That'll play "well" with Conservatives.
I don't want a pure candidate as the Romneybots love to claim is the only thing Conservatives want, I want a Conservative candidate in at least MOST issues. Cbeyer and his ilk seem to want a barely economic conservative candidate who could careless about social issues.
So foolish of cbeyer and his ilk, they don't realize that as social issues are won by Liberals, the economy tanks along with them.

And yes, every single Romneybot that I have encountered, whether in my family, friends or political rallies has the same ammunitions against Santorum ALL of it based on what the main stream media is saying about Santorum.
Romneybots hate the media, except when the media distorts Santorum's words.
Go spend time with Michael Medved, he is another irrational Conservative who has fallen all over himself to give 100% support to Romney.
Medved was so bad yesterday that he was all over the place with his pretzel logic defending Romney from Romneycare. At least he was honest enough to say that Obamacare WILL play a huge factor in the November election unlike our one track mind cbeyer who believes only economic matters matter.

It is still the primaries. Until the GOP picks their nominee we have every right to fight like hell for the nominee of our choice, but Conservatives aren't going around lying about Mitt Rmoney.
Once the general election occurs all Conservatives will vote for the GOP nominee. You won't (not being a Conservative and whatnot) but that's a different issue.

Submitted by TSM on Mon, 03/26/2012 - 9:56am.
All Republican candidates get the same treatment from the press and it will only get worse for the Republican nominee in the General election. It is important to judge any candiate by how the handle the press, no matter how hostile or obnoxious the press may be. They're running for leader of the free world, and they need to show composure. They should be above the frey of the press.
Santorum's reaction is always the same, to blame and argue. Also, I'm sick of him saying the Republicans need a candiate with ideas and not someone who can just attack. First, we want someone who can attack President Obama in the general, and second Gov Romney has presented many ideas. I don't know what ideas I've heard from Santorum, except he'll repeal Obamacare, as has Romney said so too.
No wonder he lost PA by a landslide. The man is tired. He's bitter. He's becoming unhinged.

Exactly. See my comment near the top.
I'm sick and tired of this....gee golly, what are you so upset about!! and the pathetic attempt to change the subject to the candidate's "temperament" instead of their own disgusting habit of twisting things.
Way to go Rick!

We need to hear more of this.
It's good to see these liberal "journalists" getting put in their place.
The media control the public perception
Submitted by c5then on Mon, 03/26/2012 - 10:03am.
They have gotten to the point where they have been trying to get for the last 40 years. They do not have perfect control, but they do have a substantial amount of it. So far, I have seen only Newt and Ron Paul handle the media the way they need to be handled to undermine their control. Mitt makes it out as no big deal and Santorum throws a fit everytime he is distorted and taken out of context.
Madison and Jefferson and Franklin built a Republic - Roberts killed it!
Santorum is a joke
Submitted by cbeyer on Mon, 03/26/2012 - 10:12am.
And so is your defense of him. Healthcare is not the only issue in the country. Santorum has made it his one talking point about Romney. With recent statements by Santorum, I think he is a candidate forstarring in a remake of 'The Shining'.
His comment that we would be better off with with what we have (Obama) than Romney is completely irrational along with his stump speech that says there is little separating Obama from Romney. Anyone who buys that nonsense is just silly.

Do you read other people's comments or do you just make a habit of being an uninformed dumb@ss who goes off half-cocked?

everyone a little nuts - back up a step and see if your comments can't be equally be applied to your outlook on Romney.

This is the same crap we were bombarded with from Mitt
Submitted by Boudin on Mon, 03/26/2012 - 8:59pm.
Never mind policy, ridicule your opponent.
So what so great about Mitt, other then looking so presidential?
Zeleny is a little sleazeball.
Submitted by NeoKong on Mon, 03/26/2012 - 10:28am.
Santorum was absolutely right.
Zeleny cherry picked a few words out of a larger quote and ignored the rest so he could alter the context.
It is lying.
It's like Santorum said "The Red Sox are gonna' kill the Yankees tonight" and then Zeleny asks him if he endorses the murder of athletes.
He is a punk.
Brave Rick!!I know we won't

Bravo Rick!!
I know we won't see the NYT print this as it was. They will spin it to show how Santorum is "angry" or "unhinged".
I prefer Rick over Mitt at this point in time. The candidates I would have preferred dropped out of the race. One of them was due to a high tech lynching by the MBM.
When will this leftists piece of garbage known as the New York Slimes go bankrupt? I am tired of the cr@p that they put out.
Newt light

Rick's not as forceful and erudite as Newt, but he did good rubbing this propagandist's face in the carpet.
Woot! Good job Rick!`

It will be a real shame if we pass up the chance to put Santorum in the White House
Good for him~
