Rick Santorum Denies Almost Using N-Word While Talking About President Obama

Rick Santorum was attacked by various bloggers and liberal pundits on Friday after it was claimed that he nearly dropped the “N-Word” on President Obama while discussing the presidents former “anti-war” stance with a gathering of supporters.
According to various stories during a voter speech in Janesville, Wisconsin Mr. Santorum told attendees:
“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.”
When news of the N-Word slip-up reached the mainstream Santorum’s rep responde:
“Oh, come on! … 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.”
In the meantime political reporting site The Raw Story points out that this wouldn’t be the first time that Rick Santorum has acted in an offensive manner towards black people, a while back he said we shouldn’t ”make black people’s lives better by giving them somebody else’s money.”
After that incident Santorum amusingly said he uttered “blah” and not “black.” Apparently we shouldn’t make “blah people’s lives” better with other people’s money.
In early 2012 Rick Santorum made an even more bizarre statement in which he said that President Obama shouldn’t support abortion rights because he’s a black man.
Check out the 34:30 timestamp location and determine for yourself if Rick Santorum was really close to using the N-Word:
Would it surprise you at this point to learn that Rick Santorum really did use the N-Word in his recent speech in Wisconsin?

It does sound like he meant to say Government Nig___! Looks like he was tired of campaigning and strange things coming out of Santo's mouth.

Does it surprise me at this point to know that Rick Santorum really did NOT use the N-Word in his recent speech in Wisconsin, but, that, as he said, that liberals and socialists will now, as straws to grasp, seize on every "syllable, participle…" because all you have left, left, left is divisiveness, excuses, abrogation of responsibility for building the strength of this republic, swallowing fatally compromised morality in great gulps, making a gulag for the very people you lull into a belief in ease, comfort and entitlement. It's the Pursuit of Happiness (defined by the Founders as the equivalent of Virtue)…not the guarantee. Which for the liberal, the Pursuit, which takes honest effort, is anathema. Pay more attention to the "off camera" deals you man makes at YOUR expense. You should be looking out for YOUR grandchildren. Their liberty.Their achievement.

Unfortunately I come across my fair share of racists in my home state, which during the Civil War, as a territory, decided to stay neutral due to conflicting opinions. There is no question the n-word was on his mind. That"s how racists talk when they get going, start to go to far in pubic and then pull back. You can see his deer in the headlights look, the guy starts sweating bullets immediately. I want to give him the possibility he meant to say nincompoop, but that's just not likely.

and which current president said, "I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites."
Apr 1, 2012
once again whitey has stuck his foot m his mouth when r these fools going to realize that america is not with that bull look at that fool as if he seen his mother getting laid by a black man.

I'm sorry you've bought in to this horrid PR campaign against our President. – Anyone looking for Barack Obama’s real sentiments about whites, blacks and Muslims won’t find them in this scurrilous collection of falsified, doctored and context-free "quotations." The e-mail claims to feature words taken from Obama’s books, "The Audacity of Hope" (2006) and "Dreams from My Father" (1995, republished in 2004). But we found that two of the quotes are false, and others have been manipulated or taken out of context. -

WOLFF BACHNER – Why don't you require getting your info from the source instead of a political machine? I pity your ignorance and hatred.

So did he say nig….uh, um. Or not?
yes or no will do.
Apr 1, 2012
Shane Howard I already said no. 1st sentence, you didn't need to read the rest. Did Obama offer Medvedev a sweetheart deal for after the election? You don't need to read this either. Fine with me.
Apr 1, 2012
Shane Howard did you call J-LO a big swollen red butt chimpanzee in heat? No, must be somebody else.

It will be sugar coated as usual…..he said it and was flustered afterwards……again…it will be sugar coated
Apr 2, 2012
Really? I watched the youtube video…. no doubt in my mind what word he almost dropped!
Apr 3, 2012
So what was he trying to say. A logical explanation would clear it all up.
Apr 3, 2012
Well you don't sound any better. Name calling is name calling.
Apr 3, 2012
Did you read the books?
Apr 3, 2012
Joyce Clemons Joyce, I find it odd that a deaf person would make a comment about what someone said. I mean, you'd have to be deaf to not hear it at 34:31. Even then, you can read his lips. Hmm, I guess you just have no excuse, and neither does he.

Dear Kernell, racism goes both ways. As a child my mother drilled into me that racism is a disgusting thing. I don't get to call anyone the N word, or any other derogatory word…..why is It okay for u to use the word whitey?
Apr 3, 2012
Aw man see, this is the kind of shit I hate. Let me state, I am NO fan of Santorum, but when a "news" article starts out with "according to various stories" its of dubious origin at best. And when it involves racist accusations it's even worse! If you're gonna accuse someone of racism there better be some damned concrete proof, otherwise you're just serving to divide the country and keep the fires of racism burning. It just sounded to me like he stumbled over his words to me and I don't care how much people hate a candidate, they've got to quit stirring the race pot.

Same here Cyd! I still have a memory of my Grandpa cracking a bunch of nuts with all half of the grandkids (15!) was asked what a funky looking nut was called. He said it was a N-toe all of our eye's got as big as saucers as my Grandmoter yelled "Kennith! You will never use that word in this house again period, you left Missour 50 years ago!!! In front of the KIDS too!!!!" It was a Brazil nut. Racial names when used by anyone are degrading and show us that the user does not need to be in public office.
Apr 3, 2012
Georgia Zatto and Cyd Tyger Connor – EVERYONE, especially those in the media, should refrain from making racist comments, Jjournalists & reporters in particular should be very careful before making inflammatory remarks. But whoever wrote this article left their integrity at the door. I think the sole intention was to instigate this kind of rhetoric and it pisses me off.
Apr 3, 2012
Dani…i know, that's why I didn't comment on the article…its questionable.
Apr 3, 2012
I actually saw it replayed on the news and wasn't sure what he was starting to say. It is hard to tell.
Apr 4, 2012
Rick Santorum slips up and says racist stuff then says, "You didn't hear me say what I just said! Who are you gonna believe, me or your lying ears?" Oh now I see the chimpanzee statement from Joyce Clemons no wonder. Fellow racists stick up for each other.
Apr 4, 2012
Now you guys are trying to turn this around. It won't work, we all heard what he said. Santorum is a known racist and liar.
Apr 4, 2012
John Wilson Sorry to tell you this, but Shane put the sexist, etc. chimpanzee thing on his FB. Hypocrisy,
slamming a Hispanic female: blatant graphic ridicule. Public. Kind of sad that that fellow has so little to do.What he did for sure insults and injures 1/2 of white Americans, 1/2 of hispanic Americans, 1/2 of black Americans,and most of everybody else regardless of their ideology.It's okay with me if anyone dismisses and judges Santorum. And me.Throw the 2nd stone.When everyone throws their stone, they can go home and ponder their own deeply ingrained character flaws, hidden, or open.Everyone of us has in their hands at least one nail and hammer to jointly lay this country to waste.
Apr 5, 2012
Rick Santorum may your Campaign for President Rest In Peace….True colors show..and you trying to run for President of the United States with this kind of Dialogue, No way to defend it. Calling the N-word and Blacks are the only one on welfare talking to a all White crowd that applauded to that poison, are blacks the only ones receiving welfare..STUPID!

R.E.A.L.L.Y?
Apr 5, 2012
He obviously is an idiot with no clue! How can someone so stupid run for president, oh ya Sarah Palin did!
Apr 5, 2012
maybe eventually people will actually do some research on the candidates they decide to vote for instead of just looking at last names to check for ethnicity. There are plenty of ignorant people out there who shouldn't vote at all!
Apr 8, 2012
You're one of those mildly educated people that uses too many words to confuse your entire point. Trademark for someone who has absolutely no idea what they're talking about. You've taken this issue personally and trying to throw some of the fog in your own head at us, Joyce, is only making you come off as a complete nut job.

Why can't he just explain what he was saying? All he can say is that he didn't mean to say that, and then what about the other comments he's said? Don't be so reluctant to believe that someone you liked said it, don't purposely close off things, be OPEN… what do you think he meant to say? So far we've got people saying "near" and "nagger"
Apr 9, 2012
Nice, "whitey". Article on racism attracts racists, of course.
Apr 9, 2012
What does that mean… hmm. Well either way, shouldn't go for yet another racist president.
Apr 9, 2012
Yeah, exactly…! All he can say that I've seen so far is that he didn't stumble on the N word. Then wtf did you stumble on? Okay then.
Apr 10, 2012
Rick Santorum is no different from most other white people in america. He too traded in his sheets for a suit and tie. He still represents the bad and the ugly about america.
Apr 15, 2013
I believe that using any type of derogatory racial language is abhorrent. That being said, this seemed like more of a stutter than "almost saying the N word". I didn't see that and believe me, I'd be the first to call someone on it. This "journalist" (I use that term VERY lightly) is an idiot.
