PA-SEN: Santorum Accuses Casey Of "Aiding and Abetting Terrorism and Genocide"

GOP Senator Rick Santorum -- who's trailing Dem Bob Casey by double digits in polls -- has launched a remarkable attack on Casey: He's now accusing the Dem of "aiding and abetting terrorism and genocide." Today's Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports that Santorum is making this charge by rather creatively pointing out that Casey, who's state treasurer, hasn't ensured that pension funds were not invested in firms that do business with nations "linked" to terrorism, such as Iran and Syria. Of course, there's a small problem with this attack: As a Casey spokesman is noting, Santorum's own campaign has taken money from some of the very same companies which Casey allegedly failed to prevent pension fund investments in. Among them: Royal Dutch/Shell and Deutche Bank. More here.

I love the smell of desperation in the morning!

Look at these clowns coming unhinged under the pressure...from Lil' Ricky to Barbara Cubin to Conrad Burns. That repetitious screed about the "unhinged left" is just another example of Gooper projection.

The strategy is apparent: "If you tell a lie often enough, it becomes the truth". (Joseph Goebbels).

I'll be a little happier when "Man on dog" Santorum gets a forced early retirement from the Senate. The wider the margin for Casey, the better.

"aiding and abetting" has a particular legal meaning. Santorum can't seriously be accusing Casey of being a traitor (which carries the possible penalty of death). Or can he? Is he really that stupid?

If it's worked before (repeatedly), why would it be stupid to make the same scurrilous accusation again and again?

Rick Santorum - another reason to vote for Bob Casey and against Mr. Values.
