Predictably, hateful liberal tweets started rolling in right away.

Just two tweets into her Twitter career and Mrs. Santorum is already being targeted by the Left’s abusive attacks, or as we like to call them, badges of honor. One conservative offered her some advice on dealing with the vile slurs still to come.

@karensantorum Welcome to Twitter, and I hope your skin is thick. When in doubt, ask, "What would Andrew Breitbart do?"
