I do not support Mr. Santorum, but I will defend him against unfair attacks. I agree with Eric: the quote offered by Chuck does not seem to be to be anti-intellectual; rather, it laments the well-documented political bias within liberal arts faculties (a bias which tends to be less pronounced in the sciences).
Further, I am not aware of Mr. Santorum being anti-vaccine. His opposition to the Texas HPV law was based not on the medicine, but on the mandate: the fact that the state government was forcing this on parents. A quick look at some anti-vaccination websites shows that Mr. Santorum has in fact raised their ire for his support of certain vaccine-related legislation.
I may be misreading his most recent post, but Mr. Uzza seems to be equating being uneducated with being "evil." If this is the case, then he inhabits a vastly different moral universe than I.
Finally, I do not understand how Charlie draws parallels to debates over evolution and debates over abortion. The latter is rarely argued in scientific terms; rather, it seen as a moral issue.
