Rick Santorum, Republican presidential candidate, wants Google to take down Dan Savage's “filth.”

The Pennsylvania Senator on Tuesday told POLITICO that he has contacted the search giant with regard to his “Google problem.”

In 2003, Santorum spoke out against the Supreme Court legalizing gay sex in the then-pending case of Lawrence v. Texas: “And if the Supreme court says that you have the right to consensual sex within your home, then you have the right to bigamy, you have the right to polygamy, you have the right to incest, you have the right to adultery. You have the right to anything. Does that undermine the fabric of our society? I would argue yes, it does.”

Savage responded to Santorum's likening of gay unions to incest by running a contest to define the word santorum and creating SpreadingSantorum.com, a website dedicated to promoting the definition.

Santorum (san-TOR-um) n. 1. The frothy mixture of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the byproduct of anal sex.

The site has been so popular it often ranks high on searches for Rick Santorum.

“I suspect if something was up there like that about Joe Biden, they'd get rid of it,” Santorum said. “If you're a responsible business, you don't let things like that happen in your business that have an impact on the country.”

He added: “To have a business allow that type of filth to be purveyed through their website or though their system is something that they say they can't handle but I suspect that's not true.”

A Google spokesperson advised Santorum to “contact the webmaster of the page directly.”

“Once the webmaster takes the page down from the web, it will be removed from Google's search results through our usual crawling process,” the spokesperson added.

Savage has repeatedly fended off his critics.

“And you have to love how Santorum is out there mewling about being the victim here and about civility – this from the man who compared people in stable, loving same-sex relationships to dog fuckers and kiddie rapists, this from a man who would make gay and straight sodomy illegal, ban gay marriage and any other protections for same-sex couples, and prevent loving same-sex couples from adopting children who need homes,” Savage wrote on his Slog blog.

“And the Savage Love gang? All we did was make a dirty joke at his expense.”

“There has been no effort to strip Rick Santorum of his civil rights, no moves to nullify his marriage, no one has suggested that his children be taken out of his home, no one is trying to prevent him from having more children. No one has compared Rick Santorum to a dog fucker or a pedophile.”
