wtf is it with this guy ?

why is he making up lies like this and the bullshit about euthanasia in the Netherlands

I have to presume he does not know he is lying and actually believes this stuff to be true

Is this just a Santorum thing or is it indicative of the intelligence of uber-fundies

Presidential candidate Rick Santorum claimed on Monday that most public universities in the University of California system do not offer American history courses.

"I was just reading something last night from the state of California," Santorum said while campaigning in Wisconsin. "And that the California universities -– I think it’s seven or eight of the California system of universities don’t even teach an American history course. It’s not even available to be taught."

That claim is false.
UC spokesperson Brooke Converse pointed out to ThinkProgress that every undergraduate at all 10 UC campuses are required to "study American history and institutions." According to the UC website, each campus decides how its students may meet the requirement.

The only school in the UC system that does not offer American history courses is the San Francisco campus, which is a medical school.

Santorum has repeatedly bashed public colleges during his presidential bid. He caught flak when he called President Obama a "snob" for encouraging students to attend higher education and claimed public universities would "indoctrinate" students to become liberal. Santorum also claimed his grades suffered at Pennsylvania State University because of his beliefs.

Meanwhile, Santorum has aligned himself in support of controversial for-profit colleges during his campaign. He also has served on the advisory board at Christendom College, considered one of the most conservative colleges in the country.

HAHAH

See, THIS is why I want santorum in 2012.  He's hilarious.  He's Joe Biden with a mean religious streak and 40 more pounds of muscle.  Sadly, we get wimpy romney losing to obama instead.

So you're saying "he may have been wrong and just plain making shit up, but I hate people who live on the left coast".

I can respect that.  He should have just said that.
