1. I believe he said "blah" n/t

edited to add:

[Ecumenist]

4. Sorry, there was NO "B" sound in what that man said at all.

I KNOW WHAT I HEARD, Arcane1. He tried to stop before it stumbled out of his mouth but I KNOW WHAT I HEARD AND EVERYONE ELSE DOES TOO!!! Oh wait...You're being sarcastic, right?

[Ecumenist]

2. He actually called the president a N***er! That was today..Oh, this is going to be

all over the internets. OMG they're not even pretending anymore!

[Tx4obama]

5. It's starting to make the rounds on Twitter now.

That's where I just saw it few minutes ago.

Not sure if it will be enough to knock him completely out of the race, since he only said the 'first three letters'.

I wonder what his explanation will be

[Ecumenist]

9. Oh yeah, oh yes it will. His masque slipped enough to show his true evil and vile

nature. You know that the other side are sharks and they smell blood in the water. We should make A WHOLE lot of popcorn and watch the show.

[Tx4obama]

10. I've sent a 'tip' message to HuffPo and to MEDIAite with the video link :) n/t

[Ecumenist]

11. Bless you, bless you!! I wonder who else we can send it to?

[niyad]

12. rachel, ed, lawrence and keith?

[Ecumenist]

14. Yes and how about Randi?

Boy, these guys are pieces of work.

[Tx4obama]

15. I tweeted Rachel, Ed, Lawrence, Keith. And sent email to Talking Points Memo n/t

[elleng]

3. Dear Tx4. PLEASE STOP FINDING

all the good stuff! I've got to go to BED!

[Tx4obama]

7. LOL - Sweet dreams :) n/t

[Drunken Irishman]

5. It's pretty damning. Not many words start with 'nig'...especially in that context...

The fact he caught himself and stumbled even makes it worse.

Whoa.

[niyad]

8. quite apart from what he clearly tried to take back, the bs he came up with later was just

nauseating.

does somebody have the percentages of the budget for defense and entitlements?

[nxylas]

19. The stuff he was saying at the time was pretty bloody awful too

"Barack Obama wants to divide America among class and race lines. Whereas I want to unite it by declaring that anyone who isn't white, heterosexual, Christian, male and fascist isn't an American".

[grantcart]

13. one syllable away from ending his public career forever.

[Bucky]

16. I'm not sure about the "ni-" but his next *actual* slip up was funny

He accidently said "pull out" instead of "pull back". Oh, Ricky, the gift that keeps on giving!

[bitchkitty]

17. It sounded like he started to say n*****.

It sounded like he said "government nig..." then caught himself. Asshole.

[Lost-in-FL]

18. ...

I'm speechless. What a sad human being.

[sakabatou]

20. This will certainly be on Rachel or Keith

[Cali_Democrat]

21. He said it

That video is really going viral it appears.

[Richardo]

22. "He said the sheriff is near!"

Blazing Saddles

[JoePhilly]

25. No Dagblamit!!

[baldguy]

23. He almost said what he honestly thinks.

[ananda]

24. He actually said "government nig"

Whoa

[polichick]

26. That's a stretch I think.

[Richardo]

28. I agree - I don't place any significance on verbal stumbles.

God knows I have enough trouble completing a sentence, let alone after months of travel and with uninterrupted non-stop media coverage.

[polichick]

29. I've never heard the term "government n-word" so it doesn't make sense...

...to me other than as a meaningless verbal flub.

[HopeHoops]

27. That wasn't a "almost" that was a "definitely".

I'd accuse him of doing it intentionally, but he isn't smart enough to pull that off.

[philosopher215]

30. Ha!

Why does the smiley face like this? Thought there wasn't suppose to be anything like this via terms and agreements.



Another odd one

[Iceberg Louie]

31. As much as I would like to believe it, I am (somewhat) doubtful he was "going there"...

In context, what I suspect was that he was going the direction of something more like "the anti-war government negotiate-with-the-terrorists pussy liberal..." If that were the case, of course, he did himself a much greater disservice by not finishing the run-on sentence fragment.

But then, here is a guy so whacked out that he derails himself by declaring a War on Pornography. I think that in itself is effectively campaign suicide for Little Ricky; going for the Jesse Helms vote doesn't quite carry over into the 21st Century. But between that, the "bullshit" episode, and his zeal to merge church and state, it's not impossible that maybe he was "going there" until one of his handlers gave him the throat-slit hand signal. At this point, I put nothing past him.

[K Gardner]

32. This is really the most rational explanation I've heard to-date.. even I

can't imagine he was "going there". Not ruling it out, just saying the above scenario actually makes sense.
