2012 republican presidential nominee III: can romney get santorum out of his hair?

omg pp!

It's almost impossible to describe how much I want Newt to actually do this. I don't want him to even be invited. I want him to crash the convention, stroll to the podium and say that exact thing.

lolhammer

so i wonder where he'll go to explain to white people that they need to "ditch food stamps"

[Santorum] is the first challenger to be plausibly presidential: knowledgeable, articulate, experienced, of stable character and authentic ideology.

Meh, one out of five ain't bad, I guess.

Waterville Valley?

MY PRESIDENT IS BLAH

"Ahab is loose in New Hampshire, stalking his great white Mitt"--I like that, even though I get the feeling Newt's supposed apoplexy has cooled.

I don't think hSantorum's words are a big deal, but it is simply a lie to keep repeating that he said "black people."

What did he say then Hardcastle?

I mean I know the libs play dirty and I'm happy to be corrected.

But, what could he have said to let his critics allege he said "black people"?

[Approved commenter] Hardcastle

"Bligh."

The liberals turned "Bligh" into "Black people"?

Crazy, but I shouldn't be surprised:

They tried to link Romney to the KKK because he said "Let's keep America, America."

Liberals are scum and it is a shame they control the news media.

On another note: i wish Santorum would've clarified that when Sean Hannity asked him about it. He seemed not to recall what he said, and seemed very confused by the question.

i cant keep track of whos being serious where

i know, right?

"it is a shame they control the news media"

bligh people

I think all you need to look at is the black man standing behind Santorum. He puts his head down, and as soon as Santorum says the word in question, his head pops up. (Best view is 1m55s on this video External Link ). The reaction of the only black man in the room is enough evidence for me. He has a boom mic and professional headphones and can probably hear Santorum better than anyone else. Watch and see. That is if all the racists here don't faint in surprise at the sight of a black man earning his own money for himself and/or his family.

LOL

haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Before watching it, I wanted to believe he said it, or stopped himself halfway through the word. I couldn't wait to hear him saying "black." But I don't hear it. I have to admit, he stumbled. On his way to saying "people's lives" he contracted it to "plai--" with a soft p, backed up and started again. If he had started to say "black" there would have been some kind of "oops" registration on his face, which there is not. Not even a flicker. So, either he's the greatest actor on the planet or he stumbled over "people's lives."

^^^ this is the only halfway plausible "he didn't say black" argument I've seen

has anyone interviewed The Only Black Man in the Room

The dogwshitle tradition, though, dictates that getting ppl off welfare or food stamps or whatever is only brought up in the context of race. It's both a deflection from the Small Govmnt/States' Rights tradition that took over the GOP w/Reagan and a disculpatory sleight of hand to the racists backing the GOP that, 'No, it's the patronizing Democrats who are the real racists, not you.'

Why else would he even have brought it up like that?

At least Newt does this blatantly but then I guess he kind of revels in pissing ppl off sanctimoniously.

what he did is what i've done hundreds of time with peoples' names that i suddenly find myself unsure about.

i'm about to go all "hey, BETTY" and suddenly realize that might not be the name i ought to be using - i get the fear - some little cashew of brain matter seizes up, trying to protect me - and i go "hey, BETthe----*** -- WHAT'S UP" like that is just a normal fucking way to talk or something.

Uh:

Unlike New Hampshire, where Molly Ball showed how hard it can be for a values candidate to make a connection, South Carolina is a land where mixing in some ol’ time religion into your stump speech is very much appreciated in a lot of places. In addition, the state is home to a lot of veterans and active-duty military. Perry is a vet himself, and can speak their language, too.

The combo went down very well for Perry in South Carolina in months past. In August, I spent a couple days following Perry around the state. He was so famous back then a guy literally stopped on his way to pick up his wife who was going into labor to have her talk to Perry on a cell phone.

Meanwhile:

Appearing before a largely youthful crowd in Dublin, NH, Rick Santorum reiterated his staunch opposition to the repeal of “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell.” When asked by an audience member how he reconciles his small government orthodoxy with anti-gay rights positions, Santorum suggested that the reversal of the policy has opened the door for individuals who will undermine the strength of the United States military:

"I would say that serving in the military is not a right; it's a privilege. Not everyone is selected. People are chosen based on who will make us the best fighting force in the world, and I don't think that includes those who are openly homosexual."

At the end of the day, I don't think it really matters whether Santorum said "black people" or "blah people" or "pligh people" or whatever. We shouldn't have to study one mangled word under a microscope to try to determine if someone is a racist or not. Even if he clearly said "black people", would that be conclusive proof of racism? After all, couldn't he have misspoke? Weirder brain-farts have happened. I think there's got to be better evidence than one Youtube gotcha moment to indicate a politician's attitudes on race (or anything else for that matter).

what's he doing with his right hand

killing a baby

If you know what I mean, right?

Yeah, I was gonna say, that Obama/abortion clip, which I hadn't seen before today, seems a bigger deal to me than the whole blah-gate whatever, but Santorum says something reprehensible to me pretty much any time he opens his mouth.

it's reprehensible, but it's not quite racist in the way "black people = WELFARE" is

killing a baby

An alternate world for the Cure suggests itself.

"I can't believe that you, as a [y] person, don't believe [x]" is the simplest example of a bigoted, prejudicial statement; a white casting it at Obama in terms of race is a bald statement that he is not acting like a black person should and is unambiguously racist.

fyi I had the phrase "white person" in my head as I was typing but apparently it didn't make it all the way to my fingers

my horrible, racist fingers ;_;

Rick Santorum is a bumblr white

a white casting it at Obama

But my family all support Obama. Why would we do this?
