Frothy's Spokesperson: YOU'RE the Racist One for Hearing Santorum call President Obama the N-word
9:36 am - 03/30/2012
The Internet was buzzing on Friday morning that Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum may have almost dropped the n-bomb on President Barack Obama.
Speaking to a group of voters in Janesville, Wisconsin on Wednesday, the candidate seemed to catch himself before using a word that sounds like “n*gger” to describe the president.
“We know the candidate Barack Obama, what he was like – the anti-war government nig… America was a source for division around the world, that what we were doing was wrong,” Santorum said.
"Oh, come on!” Santorum spokesman Hogan Gidley told Raw Story when asked for comment. “Give me a break. That’s unbelievable. What does it say about those that are running with this story that that’s where their mind goes. You know, I’m not going to dignify that with [a response].”
“That is absolutely ridiculous.”
“We know the candidate Barack Obama what he was like, the anti-war goverment nigg— uh, the uh… fffff... the uh... that America was a source for...”

He said it, deal with it.
I can't wait until the mainstream media finally catches on to this in a week or so.
it says that they've spotted you as the racist that you are.
He was trying to say "nagger" really...
He knows what he almost just said. It's written all over his face.

Fuck all the noise - fuck the "?" at the end of these headlines. YES, HE SAID IT. There is no other word that would have made sense in this sentence and there is no other reason he would have been stumbling so bad immediately afterwards.
And I'm infuriated with the theory that Frothy is "too goody two-shoes" to just stumble onto a word like this.
This mother fucker is nothing more than a hate mongering neo-fascist in a v-neck sweater. He has no problem spouting virulently homophobic garbage to bolster his career. He compares gays to dogs and child molesters. No one should assume he is above dehumanizing groups of people at the drop of a hat.
More like GAME OVER, amirite?
Oh wait - there isn't an explanation. Not one that makes any sense, anyway, other than that he was caught mid-word revealing his racism.

Welp, I'm just going to stand here and enjoy watching Mittens get on his case about this. And then Frothy will fire back and hopefully they'll sink each other in due fashion. It's great!
If black people comment about the racial implications of a comment/situation/thing, we're "too sensitive," or "looking for something to be offended by," and yet if someone outright says something racist-on camera, for goodness' sake-now we're racists for finding it racist?
How in the world does that work? In what universe do racist comments get addressed as what they truly are? There is no "taken out of context," or "interpreting the text incorrectly," in this case. Words were plainly spoken-albeit incompletely-and the fact that it is still being defended is appalling.
