Seriously, he is an asshole. But not because he voted against S.2611.

Now I don't know what the publicity hack overheard to order the eviction, but: a) It wasn't her or Santorum's bookstore. If anything, only a store employee should have been able to order their eviction. b) Don't advertise a discussion if you're not going to accept opposing views. If the woman heard that they planned to be disruptive, she should have spoken to a store manager. If she just got the impression that they were going to ask difficult questions, she should be sued. In general, before evicting someone it is better to wait until they are disruptive. If everyone who just seemed suspicious was automatically ejected from stores (insert racial profiling joke here). I love the backpedaling here. Apparently, noone was responsible. Not Santorum, not the bookstore, not the 'family institute'. In general, bookstores and libraries take the first amendment pretty seriously, considering that is the basis for their existence. I am surprised the store went along with this. I actually shop at that Barnes and Noble and after reading this I will stop in and register my disapproval. Quote:

In fact when Gwennie worked at Borders I seem to recall something very similar going on at a booksigning for Terrell Owens.

I wonder if he was afraid to hold it in Pennsylvania?

So far the vast majority of people in 'free speech' zones and ejected from events have been those confronting conservatives.

In any event, the event was run by the publisher, and it's their employees are who's being sued, not Santorum. I wonder what would have happened if some Pink Pistols had showed up? I understand at least one of the kids was wearing a pink triangle.

"Clintonian nonsense" doesn't compare to Bush oppression.

Those who do not remeber history may not be condemned to repeat it, but they can certainly be sentenced to look it up.
