Santorum busts out the n-word... well, half of it. Nice save?

1. BUT, he didn't save it in time to keep people from knowing EXACTLY what he was saying

I'm just waiting with a BUCKET of popcorn to watch the crapstorm that is unleashed.

[pangaia]

2. Oh man.. !

No question about it..
He face, especially his tight lips always show the hatred this man has.. just hatred... inside himself.. about everything. but especially a black/white man being president...

[LiberalLoner]

3. He does always seem very hateful and angry (esp. now that he's losing.) I do believe he was going

to use the "n" word. Wonder if this will explode on him or just fade into obscurity?

4. Can someone give us a timecode? This is an hour-long video

16. Good gawd yes. Cannot stand this pentacostal speech cadance. gag

[polichick]

5. Unless "government n-word" is a phrase...

I'm not familiar with, I think people are really stretching this verbal flub.

[Jester Messiah]

7. You can attach the n-word to just about anything

But who knows? Perhaps we should see if Frothy wants to issue a clarification.

[polichick]

8. Just doesn't make sense - imo he was simply frothing at the mouth.

[phleshdef]

9. Yea, I agree. I don't think he was about to drop the N bomb.

It just didn't fit the context of what he was saying at all.

We can attack Santorum on plenty of valid stuff. We don't need to pretend he did things he didn't do.

[hedgehog]

10. From the comment section on Wonkette - government-nik?

as in peace-nik?

[SwampG8r]

20. thatsa what i heard too... nik

[Why Syzygy]

12. Government Ninja

I agree. This is a lame accusation. Time better spent on other issues.

[Jester Messiah]

13. Yeah, 'cuz I've got such a backlog...

Man, lighten up.

[applegrove]

14. What? He didn't use the word "blah"?

[Tom Ripley]

15. Strom Thurmond in a sweater vest

[otohara]

17. I Say No

he did not say it.

I think it's obvious.

[Evergreen Emerald]

18. I thought he obviously said it

It looked as if he had it planned....it sounded rehearsed.

[and-justice-for-all]

19. Santorum is such a piece of shit...nt
