As mentioned before, what is at the root of this is a wider problem
though:
to what extent we as a project are happy to act as participants, rather
than
neutral observers and reporters, in the political process.
I'd say that neutrality is our best bet here, as anything else is
likely to
come back to us eventually. We should not make *undue* efforts to
promote
political or social campaigns.
There is little in present policy to address this. WP:Activist is an
essay.

I completely disagree with the direction of this thread that this was
some sort of hit piece by Cirt on Santorum.
When this started I re-read the article and found it neutral and
presenting Santorum's reaction to the situation in a reasonable and
thoughtful manner.
Dan Savage is certainly playing activist here - the claim that Cirt
was is not supported, and not in good faith.

The matter can be resolved by editing which conforms the article to
Wikipedia policies.
