Sarah Palin came to the defense of Rick Santorum for his “Satan” comments as she condemned “lame-stream media characters” for getting “all wee-weed up about” the candidate’s past remarks.
“They will attack any conservative who boldly proclaims their faith and talks about, there is good in the world and there is evil in the world, and that’s what Rick Santorum was talking about,” Palin told Sean Hannity of Fox News.
She continued, “This was a speech that he gave back in 2008 where he named evil as Satan. For these lame-stream media characters to get all wee-weed up about that — first, you have to ask yourself, have they ever, ever attended a Sunday school class even? Have they never heard this terminology before?”
The new scrutiny over Santorum’s speech at Ave Maria University in Florida from four years ago — in which the 2012 hopeful had warned about an unfolding “spiritual war” in America in which Satan was poised to attack the country — is simply a part of the narrative created by the leftist media that “runs the show,” Palin scoffed.
“They just got so whacked out about this speech,” she said, and recalled a speech she also gave back in 2008 about the need to pray for U.S. troops.
“They did the same thing to me. … They ran that tape over and over again in the vice presidential race, trying to make me sound like a wacko,” she said.
Palin also hit the media for targeting Santorum when President Barack Obama recently invoked the Bible in calling for tax hikes, in an apparent reference to the president’s National Prayer Breakfast speech earlier this month.
“The theology that [Obama] would adopt by reading the book of Luke results in him being able to say we need to increase taxes on hardworking Americans — that’s OK but Rick Santorum talking about good an evil isn’t OK?” she charged. “Mainstream media — they make me sick. They’re hypocrites, and we need to call them out on them.”
