"Disfigured minds"

Alan Colmes and Eugene Robinson have each commented about the "weirdness" of Rick Santorum bringing his son home for his children to see him, after he died two hours after his birth. Andy at Ace of Spades writes about the left's lack of concern about individuals, but great faux concerns for "victim" groups:
"In the meantime, Steyn has a great piece on the faux empathy of the left if you need to return your blood to a boil this morning.
The short life of Gabriel Santorum would seem a curious priority for political discourse at a time when the Brokest Nation in History is hurtling toward its rendezvous with destiny. But needs must, and victory by any means necessary. In 2008, the Left gleefully mocked Sarah Palin’s live baby. It was only a matter of time before they moved on to a dead one.
Liberals stake out this moral high ground where they "care" about all sorts of "people": The Poor™, The 99%™, The Children™, Minorities™, Undocumented Citizens™, etc. ad nauseam.
But they sure don't seem to give a crap about any individual human beings, do they? It's all about creating and preserving groups that can be pitted against one another for electoral advantage.
As a matter of fact, they're downright hostile to individuals. And especially those in the earliest stages of life.=
