Santorum Mulling Secret Service Protection – From Hecklers

According to the Associated Press, Rick Santorum is looking into Secret Service protection because,

“Santorum hosted an outdoor rally adjacent to the campsite of Tacoma, Wash., Occupy protesters Monday night. They chanted and yelled during most of the event. Two protesters were dragged away by police.”

Ew, scary!

CNN reported that Santorum told supporters at the rally,

“I think it’s really important for you to understand what this, what this radical element represents, because what they represent is true intolerance.”

Little Rickie needs to step out of his life cocoon more often, and tone down the intolerance rhetoric while he’s at it. I understand candidates need security, some more than others, but that’s a big taxpayer expense simply to avoid having to deal with protesters. If he thinks that’s the worst he’ll have to face as a candidate, then he should just pack up and go home now.

    Yeah okay, Rick Santorum officially can't call himself anti-establishment at all by this point. He seems to really care more about what people do and enforcing their actions than any other candidate.
