He’s still spreading Santorum after all these years:

Even The New York Times (in the guise of Paul Krugman with his Op/Ed hat on) is finally beginning to understand about Rick Santorum’s frothy little Google problem. And you’ve got to admire this delicacy of phrasing:
Anyone with an Internet connection is aware that Mr. Santorum is best known for 2003 remarks about homosexuality, incest and bestiality.
Oh yes. Yes, we are.

Dan Savage Schools The New York Times

It’s funny how confused the entire world is right now about Santorum’s little Google problem. I am particularly enjoying all the people who think Santorum is some sort of unfortunate but long-standing homonym. (Heh, heh, Beavis, he said…) But when even the New York Times starts getting the story wrong, Dan Savage (who, for my money, deserves recognition as one of the greatest memetic engineers of the 21st century) gets to set the record straight:
My readers and I did not redefine Santorum because he disagrees with us strongly about gay marriage. We redefined his name after he compared gay relationships to dog fucking and child rape–”man on dog, man on child”–in an sprawling interview with a freaked-out AP reporter. In that interview Santorum insisted that Americans do not have a constitutional right to privacy. Santorum defended sodomy laws that criminalized private, consensual, adult sexual activity–between gay or straight couples. It wasn’t Santorum’s opposition to same-sex marriage, it was his support for bringing felony charges against gay men, lesbians, bisexuals, and heterosexuals for private, consensual, adult sexual conduct that inspired the campaign.
“Man On Dog” Paranoia

It’s not just Rick Santorum you know. The spurious but supposed association between gay people and bestiality crops up (in the fevered corners where “cultural conservatives” worry about sex) all the time. I agree with this author:
“Someone just needs to alert them that gay bears are not actual bears.”
