I knew there was something fishy about Rick Santorum's just-so story of how his grandfather fled fascism in Italy back in 1925.

The Daily Beast describes what it is:

The writer goes on to add:

As I noted the other day, Santorum's politics fit the definition of fascism. I don't mean that as a criticism but as a diagnosis, one I challenge anyone to dispute based on the criteria I cite from the era in question.

They've noticed that in Italy as well:

The article also notes that Santorum has visited his relatives in Italy. We therefore must conclude that he was well aware of his grandfather's politics. And that he is keeping the truth from the voting public in the interests of spinning a tale.

Well, that tale just came unspun, Rick.
