This is an artificial distinction that happens to fit Wikipedia rules, but not
reality.  Spreading the term automatically shows him in a negative light,
in the same way that spreading a denial gives credence to the claim that is
denied.

I have a modest proposal: change the title to read "Dan Savage campaign
against Rick Santorum" or something else which has Dan Savage's name in it.
Some people have already suggested this, but I will bet that the same editors
who want the 100 link template in will argue vehemently against this.
