In Case You Missed It of the Day: It seems every GOP debate is determined to have that one moment sheer callousness that makes you fret for humanity’s future — and last night’s FOX News/Google debate did not disappoint.
Moderator Megyn Kelly introduced a YouTube question about “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” from a now-openly-gay soldier serving his country in Iraq, after which several audience members could be heard booing.
But that wasn’t nearly the worst of it.
Halfway through Rick Santorum bigoted, literally-backward response, the same audience began cheering loudly — so loudly that the rest of his reply was barely audible.
And to Rick Santorum: Gay =/= “sexual activity,” and being allowed to be openly honest with other people about what makes you who you are without the threat of being ostracized =/= “special privilege.”

These debates are turning into a showcase of what’s wrong with America.
