Judge for yourself. This particular freudian slips give away his true colors.

He also seems to be under the impression that only black people in this country are poor and on medicaid.

OMG how do republicans not walk around with paper bags over their heads over this guy?

EDIT: sorry, the first video apparently was posted in another forum, but the second video is original I believe and just as racist.

 

[thraashman]

Wow. Yeah looks pretty obvious where he was going with that. Doesn't really surprise me. Look at the bevy of threads lately filled with the P&N conservatives being incredibly racist but trying their best to hide it. They're spent the last week bringing race into almost every topic on P&N. The GOP is seriously setting back race relations in this country.

 

[Gonad the Barbarian]

Didn't we cover this already? It's not racist without the "ger." He was just making a joke.

Repost. But perhaps this is the right forum for it.

Oh my mistake for the repost. However the second video is original and still equally racist. I was very offended as an intelligent black male who will make more money in my lifetime than Santorum will in his.

 

[pauldun170]

Don't think it was a Freudian slip.
I do not like Santorum at all but that sounds like an innocent slip of the tongue as he was working through his talking points.

There are plenty to clips to criticize Santorum on.
This isn't one of them

This is a better one

Not REALLY a repost since the other thread is in ATOT (might get moved here though).

 

[Mxylplyx]

I'll give Santorum the benefit of the doubt and assume that is not where he was going, but you can tell once the "nig" sound came out of his mouth, he knew exactly what it sounded like and freaked out a little.

I'll give Santorum the benefit of the doubt with the provision that I can't imagine anything legitimate here. I suppose it's possible that anyone can make a random noise that sounds like the start of a racial slur, but it's probably much more possible that a politician can start a racial slur subconsciously in the heat of the moment and then cut it off midstream.

Like i said in the ATOT thread, that was probably Santorum's subconscious but his conscious cut him off midword.

It's like those reporters that keep saying the word 'orgasm' instead of 'organism', but Santorum got lucky and didn't finish it. Totally Freudian.

No, no, he was trying to say "gardly".

 

[sandorski]

The only way this was a "mistake" is if he uses the word regularly.

You been watching too many movies.

Im half italian and couldnt get along better with blacks.

Shall I remind you who the real rascists are? The white protestants.

100 years ago the italians/irish/jews were the "unwanted" like minoritys today. Hence they had to form their own "protection".

I assumed peoynu was trying to be humorous.

I'm not so sure. He got a hearty round of applause from the attendees in that room.
