I don't think BLP needs this kind of mission creep. It's important to protect Santorum and others from malicious editing and bad sourcing and undue weight, but it isn't our job to protect Santorum from Dan Savage or the news media or the world.
Santorum is not just being victimized by Dan Savage or the news media or the world--he's being victimized by *us*. That makes it our job. Just because it's an already existing campaign doesn't mean we have no responsibility when a search for his name brings up this article as the #3 hit (and #2 if you only search for his last name).
