And so it begins

The "anonymous” progressive tipsters are offering their "information" again. This time their target is Rick Santorum. Actually, his wife. The info is that Karen had an abortion and it is released only on FB. This move applies Saul Alinsky Rule for Power Tactic: #4 Make the enemy live up to their own book of rules. If this gets traction on FB it will probably be publicized by the msm to give it a feel of legitimacy. This is accomplished by distorting the circumstances and applying rule #11 If you push a negative hard and deep enough, it will break through into its counterside.

The circumstances from WIKIPEDIA:

Personal life

Santorum and his wife, Karen Garver Santorum, have six living children. Karen Santorum was a neonatal intensive care unit nurse for nine years. One child was diagnosed with Edwards syndrome, a serious genetic disorder. In 1996, after Karen developed a life-threatening infection, a son, Gabriel, was born prematurely and lived for only two hours. While pregnant, Karen Santorum developed a life-threatening intrauterine infection and a fever that reached nearly 105 degrees. She went into labor when she was 20 weeks pregnant and allowed doctors to give her Pitocin to speed the birth.

Karen Santorum wrote a book about the experience: Letters to Gabriel: The True Story of Gabriel Michael Santorum. In it, she writes that the couple brought the deceased infant home from the hospital and presented the dead child to their living children as "your brother Gabriel". The anecdote was also written about by Michael Sokolove in a 2005 New York Times Magazine story on Santorum.
