Rick Santorum is dangerous. There's no other way to put it. He's now saying things that could literally lead to the deaths of more service members serving in Afghanistan right now.
Speaking in Marquette, Michigan, Sunday, Rick Santorum addressed an incident Sunday in which 7 U.S. service members were injured in a protest in response to U.S. military members burning a Koran. Santorum called the protestors evil, using the word repeatedly. He also condemned President Obama's apology over the Koran-burning incident, saying that apologies only incite more violence because they are a show of weakness.
Let me get this straight -- apologizing for burning Qurans is a sign of weakness and will somehow lead to more violence? And repeatedly calling those who were offended evil is suppose to help?
Several service members have been killed as a direct result of this incident. Does Santorum have no shame?
This is the man currently polling at the top of the GOP contender list, by the way. The current Republican front-runner. The front-runner who is attempting to widen a now international conflict from the campaign trail.
While part of me would be delighted if Santorum defeated Mitt Romney in a couple more states to prolong the primary process, I no longer consider that a worthy cause. This has gone on long enough. Santorum is a national embarrassment and may actually become a threat to security.
