Linda Hirshman attacks his backwards sexual ethics:

Rick Santorum’s candidacy, and the Republican Party that hungers for it, looks like a handful of the left-behind fighting a rear-guard action against modernity, which has passed them by. … Western history since the Enlightenment has been peppered with such revolts against the modern world. Usually they are a sign of desperation and find their way, unassisted, to the dustbin of history. On the rare occasion when they take hold, however, they can be extremely dangerous. 

Jen McCreight takes aim at the coverage of Santorum:

[C]an the media please stop referring to politicians like Santorum as running on a platform of "family values"? How is it "family values" to refuse gay people the right to form families? Represent his platform for what it is – homophobia. Don’t accept the labels these bigots want you to use.
