Did Rick Santorum almost let the N-word slip?

People seem to think so.

"We know the candidate Barack Obama what he was like, the anti-war goverment nigg—theuh—…"

Thoughts?

Does it really matter? We already know that he hates women's rights, higher education, and contraception. If you still like him after all that will him being racist really stop you?

I mean how racist do you have to be when you're giving a speech, trying to get people to vote for you, while talking about the current president, and you still can't keep yourself from blurting the N word. He must say it so much at home it's become natural.

I never thought Santorum was stupid enough to almost say thppppppffffffffffft who am I kidding?

I wonder how he'll recover from that, I can't think of any other word that starts with nig-.

what a dumbass

Oy maybe he was trying to say niggles or some form of niggle... but relized it was not propper grammar.

He might have been calling the President a Niggler.

1.( intr ) to find fault continually

2.( intr ) to be preoccupied with details; fuss

3.( tr ) to irritate; worry

— n

4.a slight or trivial objection or complaint

5.a slight feeling as of misgiving, uncertainty, etc

[C16: from Scandinavian; related to Norwegian nigla. Compare **** ]

'niggler

It perfectly fits what he is saying.

Youtube comment:

Rick Santorum "I have no problem with blacks every household should have at least one"

Don't much care, would never vote for him regardless.chessmaster1989

I can't wait until this is covered by The Young Turks. They're going to have a field day with this.

Ridiculous, stop being such sheep. This kind of crap is so unfair, the FACT is these candidates practice saying the same crap over and over and over. This guy has been around long enough to here he is not going to include such a word in a public speech.

Just stop already, it is sincerely pathetic. Republican does not = racist. Last time I checked it was the Dems who had a long time KKK member in their ranks, funny how that was never talked about.

Don't seem like it to me. But who cares anyways it not like this guy is going to win the presidency.

Can't see why anyone votes for Santorum....but I doubt he'd say that in a speech. LJS9502_basic

Frankly, that he even has a chance scares me.

"Negotiator" would have fit correctly into the context of his sentence.

If his campaign picks up on it, they'll probably just say that. but it doesn't explain why he stopped himself mid-word.

Sounds nothing like the N-Word...

Those politicians are so ridiculous that it's like they're phonies put by liberals to make conservativism look bad.

There conservatives, I give you a fresh conspiracy theory. Have at it.

I will say though that (a) it's not hard to make ultra-conservatives look bad (b) the current mainstream liberal ideology is not so lame to need such tactics.

That's what sheds doubt on my otherwise perfectly logical conspiracy theory.

But who knows.... dun dun DUUUNN

I think he was meant to say government negotiator. But that doesn't really make any sense, so he switched up. Nevertheless, the damage is done. As long as the idea is in people's heads, doesn't matter if it was otherwise. A shame, one of the only decent candidates for presidency.FrozenLiquid

You can't possibly believe that. He wants to turn this country into a Christian theocracy. You're okay with that?

I'm Catholic. I'm not from America, but reading the policies and views of all the presidential candidates, his views seem the most correctly ordered to the common good.

Speaking of Christian theocracies, here's what Catholic America would look like. You're probably thinking of a 'Christian theocracy' akin to Westboro Baptist Church crap. Santorum isn't like them. If he had it his way, it'd look like the one in that link.

"Human rights, then, are not arbitrary but conform to what God has given and allowed."

How is that not a theocracy? When you define the one and only parametre by which rights are granted, you ultimately define every aspect of life of the citizens.

You're confusing "christian theocracy" with "outrageous religious reign". Thus you feel that you can do away with the label. However, the term doesnt mean only that (yes people do use it in such a way sometimes). Therefore, what your link describes is pretty much a (Christian) theocracy.

Where did I say I do not advocate a Christian theocracy?
