Well, now that Rick Santorum is a contender/frontrunner, we can expect to see a lot more of this type of media hackery.
NBC’s David Gregory repeatedly and knowingly mis-characterizes a quote from Santorum’s book in which Santorum says radical feminists have undermined the family by suggesting that the only real choice is the choice to work and that staying home is not respected. Gregory purposely twists this to suggest that Santorum is saying women shouldn’t work. He even goes so far as to ridiculously ask Santorum, even after Santorum explained his statement, whether he would allow married women to work in his administration.
This is the kind of ridiculous hit piece that we all should expect now that Santorum is in the mix. Santorum clearly expected it because he handled it beautifully, smiling and explaining.
Good job Rick. David Gregory is a hack.

LOL I love it that Senator Santorum just laughed at doofus. Nice.

Yeah when encountered with this crap I would suggest to the Senator to take a page from Newt and just go for the throat of the liberal media and rip them a new one.

They have nothing to hit him on so they make it up. He is so classy in his replies. Just smiles and chuckles makes the questioner look silly.

Santorum hate women?? His support of RINO Arlen Spector has made sure we get Obamacare and now we will be sure that all receive free employer provided contraceptives and abortions ! Thanks, Rick! We love you!

Who needs a "hit piece"? Look at his crooked record….not his talk.

David Gregory is a tool. Sen. Santorum CLEARLY respects women, their God given role, the choices they make for themselves and their families. The ones that fear Sen. Santorum are the true neanderthals that don't trust women, thus their very absurd attacks on him.

"Gotta go" cause I can't refute what you just said. Gotta go find a feminist to give me better questions to ask you Rick.
Gotta go cause you are using reason and logic, can't compute.

He endorsed Specter because of the Alito and Roberts nominations and Specter's position at the time. He was looking at the big picture.
