On Saturday Night Live, they have a long history of ridiculing politicians from Dan Ackroyd's famous impressions of Richard Nixon and Jimmy Carter to Dana Carvey's popular George H.W. Bush to Fred Armisen's Barack Obama.

With the Republican Presidential debates dominating news coverage, it makes sense for SNL to parody the campaigns of GOP candidates. Most people claim to be flattered when they are satirized on SNL.

Except Rick Santorum. He thinks it is "bullying".

"The left, unfortunately, participates in bullying more than the right does," Santorum said. "They say that they’re tolerant, and they’re anything but tolerant of people who disagree with them and support traditional values."

That isn't "bullying".

When Fox host Chris Wallace asked Santorum if he agreed with the statement "The army is not a sociological laboratory. ... Experiments ... are a danger to efficiency, discipline and morale and would result in ultimate defeat." Santorum agreed. Then Wallace revealed that the quote was from Colonel E.R. Householder, a World War II-era official. The statement was made in opposition to racial integration in the military.

Santorum responded by attempting to distinguish between racial discrimination and discrimination based on sexual orientation, denouncing the former, while insisting the latter is an acceptable condemnation of inappropriate "behavior."

Telling people it is OK to discriminate based on sexual orientation creates a hostile environment. It makes it OK to treat certain people less civilly than others based on sexual orientation. See, now that is bullying.

Ask Jamey Rodemeyer. Well, you can't. See, he was bullied and then committed suicide last month.

"I always say how bullied I am, but no one listens," he wrote Sept. 9. "What do I have to do so people will listen to me?"

Just over one week later, Jamey was found dead outside his home of an apparent suicide.

You could ask Jamie Hubley. He authored an entire blog about the pain and loneliness he felt being an openly gay teenager.

Sadly, he committed suicide, too. This past friday.

Jamie Hubley, a gay 15-year-old from Ottawa, Canada, committed suicide on Friday.

The 10th grade student documented his life, including his depression and the hardships of being a gay teen, in a blog, reports the Ottawa Citizen.

His last blog update states the following:

Well, Im tired of life really. Its so hard, Im sorry, I cant take it anymore....

...Being sad is sad : /. I’v been like this for way to long. I cant stand school, I cant stand earth, I cant stand society, I cant stand the scars on my arms, I cant fucking stand any fucking thing.

See...these two teens were bullied. By people who thought they were defending "traditional values". People who felt that homosexuality was inappropriate "behavior."

That's what bullying is, Rick.
