We know the candidate Barack Obama, what he was like. The anti-war, government nig- of the uh...I WONDER WHAT WORD

RICK SANTORUM WAS GONNA SAY

AND NOW I'LL NEVER KNOW

[3stan]

ahahahahahahahaha

I can't wait to see how this goes.

I wonder if he'll try and convince everyone that he was about to say 'niggardly' or something.

[Fifthfiend]

I wonder how they'll rule on this for my "how long until someone who actually matters straight-up calls the President a nigger in public" betting pool.

[Satan's Onion]

$20 of nonexistent internet cash that "he was trying to say something like 'knight-errant for socialist tyranny' or something only he has a problem with differentiating 'knig-' words and 'nig-' words which is a real diagnosed medical disorder that exists, stop making fun of his disability you guys"

[3stan]

Already, Santorum's support base is rallying behind him. (http://ricksantorum-2012.tumblr.com/)

[Kim]

He didn’t actually say nigger. Even if he did, so what? He didn’t mean it. Liberals are just looking so hard to find something wrong with Rick. People make mistakes. Move on.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[MSperoni]

Liberals don't have to look hard to find something wrong with Rick.

kennedymonster asked: (http://ricksantorum-2012.tumblr.com/post/20160404237/you-have-to-be-kidding-me-if-obama-said-anything-half) You have to be kidding me, if Obama said anything half that insulting and disrespectful about Santorum you would surely have a fit!


I’d be upset but Obama said WORST things in his books!!

I genuinely don't know what to say.

[Satan's Onion]

$30 of nonexistent internet cash that "it's some kind of liberal manipulation/mind control/conspiracy to make him look bad".

$40 of same on "Satan briefly possessed his vocal cords".

[3stan]

Apparently, he was going to say 'negotiator', so no money for you. Also, you are the real racist for thinking it.

[MSperoni]

I'm betting on "You're the ones who are racist. You wanted Rick to say the n-word so much that you heard him say it. He said nothing of the sort. You have no one to blame but yourselves for thinking you heard him say something he didn't."

(it's the sorta the same argument Lucas used when he explained how we all just thought we saw Han shoot Greedo first).

Ten points for Gryffindor. (http://ricksantorum-2012.tumblr.com/post/20160438431/the-liberal-mind-thinks-i-wonder-what-could-follow-we)

[MSperoni]

Yeah, Liberal racists! *shakes fist*

What's a Gryffindor?

EDIT: Seems like it has something to do with Harry Potter...

[Kim]

Santorum, you already used your "I didn't say that" card on "blah people." You only get one card.

[MSperoni]

Rick actually was going to say "government negotiator" because he couldn't think of the word "diplomat". I'm relieved. I'm also alarmed that my liberal ways would assume such a racist thing. I need to read my bible more, obviously.

http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Gryffindor

I am now aware of at least one Harry Potter thing :)

[Sifright]

Guys Guys you don't understand he was trying to say Negus you see.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negus

Nah i'm pretty sure Santorum is just a rich racist republican reprobate

[Satan's Onion]

but but guys, he called us liberals racists! Being labeled a racist is, like, the worst thing. It's like, eleventy squillion times worse than plain ol' racism. Truly we are the real oppressors.

[MSperoni]

Yeah, if we'd stop being so racist, then people like Santorum could drop n-bombs like it ain't no thang and it wouldn't bother anyone.

[Ryanderman]

You guys are all be facetious and such, I get that, but seriously, I don't even see how the word you're accusing him of almost using even fits in context with the sentence he was saying. "[Obama is an] anti-war government n--"? Doesn't even make sense. Not a context in which you'd expect that slur to be applied, if you were dealing with someone from whom you'd expect such a slur.

Regardless of whether Santorum is the type to use racial slurs, I don't see it here. What am I missing?

[Loyal]

Because that's how he sees America! Not as e pluribus unum, not as, "out of many, one". But a country that is broken, that needs to be unified by a powerful government, that makes everybody... get the same. Because then, it's fair.

That is Barack Ovama's [sic] vision for America. It is why he proposes the bills he proposes. It is why he whispered - off-camera, he thought - saying "just give me a little space, we'll take care of this - after the election."

We know... we know the candidate, Barack Obama, what he was like. The anti-war, government ??? - the... America was a source for division around the world... that what we were doing was wrong, that we needed to pull out, pull back.Like, I dunno which of these makes more sense to you, Ryan, or if you have a different suggestion for something he might have said. But it seems to me that it'd make sense for Santorum to call Obama a "government something" (such as "government stooge") just after declaring that Obama wants the government to have a lot of power, and why not a racial slur from the guy who pretty much runs his campaign platform on bigotry.

[Ryanderman]

Because bigotry can be excused. It's not racist to associate black people with poverty and crime, because there's data to back that up. It's just facts.

^ See that there. That was an excuse for racism. I don't actually think that.

Racist thinking and views of the world can be excuse and explained away as not actually racist by the people that hold them. But a racial epithet can't be. It's unequivocally racist. And unless someone actively hates other races in an acknowledged way, I can't see them using a racial epithet that vile. Whatever Rick Santorum is, I think he thinks of himself as fair person who is not racist, and doesn't hate anyone. So I can't see him using that slur. Unless there's clear evidence he did, I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt on that at least. I don't know what he was trying to say, but I think it among the least likely of options.

EDIT: Anyway, I don't know. Maybe you're all right. Could very well be. Just seemed unlikely to me, so I chimed in.

[Terex4]

Actually it makes perfect sense in the context of that sentence given that "nigger" is used as a possession as much as a person i.e. "I'm not your nigger". Calling him an anti-war, government nigger would be grammatically correct.

He may have been trying for something else and stumbled but I doubt it. My point is, trying to say that it doesn't fit in the context of the sentence is false.

[MSperoni]

...if you have a different suggestion for something he might have said...

Clearly he was about to take a page from Herman Cain and make a Pokemon (http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Nidoran%E2%99%80_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29) reference, but he figured no one else would get it so he stopped before he made a nerd of himself.

EDIT:

Santorum's not really earned "benefit of the doubt" status with me, so I'm assuming he was about to drop an n-bomb. "Negotiator" is the only alternative put forth that MIGHT make sense, but when you look at the context of what he was saying, it doesn't fit. As Loyal pointed out, it would make more sense for some sort of insult to follow "government" (government-stooge, government-puppet, government-lackey, etc).

EDIT2: Also, if he was going to say "negotiator" all along then why didn't he say "negotiator" after his little stutter?

[Karrrrrrrrrrrresche]

Even if he was going to say something to that effect "Compromiser in Chief" or something would be better to indicate what he means. Despite the rallying against the idea of diplomacy in the right "Diplomat" and "Negotiator" are, as far as I'm aware still considered good things.

To say "Negotiator" there seems to be a shift in tone.

[Ryanderman]

Yeah, negotiator doesn't seem to fit in context very well either. hm.

[Fifthfiend]

He just wants to keep that negotiator from giving blah people your money.

[Nikose Tyris]

Actually listen to the Audio, Ryanderman. I think you'll be very, very disappointed in what you hear.

I heard it with clean ears late last night on my news audio stream- and yeah, everyone turned with the look of, "Did he really just say..."

Edit: I mean word for word verbatim, I want you to say "Anti-War Government Nig", then cut yourself off, and say "uhhh".

Edit 2: Wait I think there was one of those little half cough, clear your throat things, but it was fairly short.

[Fifthfiend]

He just wants to keep that negotiator from giving blah people your money.

I sincerely hope Santorum wins the nomination I want to see how long this sentence can get by the end of the campaign.

[Kim]

Damn blah people. With their rap music and their baggy jeans and their hood- um America.

[MSperoni]

They're almost as bad as the mexi--- uhhhh....




*looks up words on Free Dictionary*

WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY WAS "MAXILLARY SINUS" BECAUSE MAN I HATE HAVING THOSE CLOGGED I TELL YOU WHAT

[Amake]

This is one instance where I support the prosecution of thoughtcrime. It's not the fact that he said, or almost said a bad word, but the fact that we can prove he thinks about people in these terms at all which should disqualify him from work in public office. There's just no going back after a slip like that, it's no different from slipping on the ground and falling and biting your tongue off. Face it, Mr Sanatorum, it's time to resign gracefully.

Also, wow, I didn't think people could actually seriously stand on a podium and make the "He's saying America has problems, therefore he's wrong" argument and not get a faceful of tomatoes.

[CABAL49]

It is almost like you think he could get elected before this.

[Gregness]

I'm actually willing to believe the botched "Negotiator" version of the story if only because I can't bring myself to believe a politician would seriously plan on using "nigger" in a speech. Like, even at the hight of segregation politicians usually said "Negro" or "Colored" or something like that.

Stop pretending the current Republican party has any molecule of merit left.

Also, many people find "colored" and "Negro"* just as offensive.




* Unless you're Spanish trololololol

[rpgdemon]

The Spanish wouldn't find the word Negro offensive, since that's the color black in Spanish. MOVING ON.


Anyhow, I think the fact that he stuttered stopped, and just completely changed direction and tone was damning. It wasn't a stutter, it was an, "Oh shit change the subject quick."

[kyrtuck]

But N***er originates form the Spanish word for black, does it not?

[Kim]

I'm not sure what this has to do with anything.

...And if he wins more than the nomination?

Then you and I can take a ride on my flying pig and go ice skating in hell.

[CABAL49]

More of the latin word for black, but whatevs.


But if my some chance Santorum wins the nomination, I will eat my own hat. And I love my hat.

If he goes further, I'm fleeing the country.

[Fifthfiend]

I figure by November I'll be too busy trying to flee the lynch mobs* and riots the crazy fuck is going to set off to give a shit who actually gets more points in the beauty pageant.

*like I'm going ahead and guessing at that point hashbrown'll be dark enough even without the vaguely-foreign-sounding last name.

[Japan]

You know he did it on purpose. I mean come on, lets get real. The only fuck-awful people who would vote for something like that probably drop n-bombs more often than a Thanksgiving dinner at Rockafella records.

(Also they are white.)

The Onion is apparently prescient when it comes to their satire: (http://www.theonion.com/articles/rick-santorum-relieved-no-one-has-asked-him-about,27630/)

Rick Santorum Relieved No One Has Asked Him About Interracial Marriage Yet

LAFAYETTE, LA—Saying his campaign has "really dodged a bullet so far," Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum told reporters today that, much to his relief, no one has asked his opinion on interracial marriage. "No question about it, what I'd have to say about the topic would absolutely terrify anyone with a conscience," said Santorum, adding that his longstanding and carefully thought-through views on whether two individuals of different races should be allowed to marry would put him so far out of the mainstream that it’d be "hilarious how insane [he]’d sound." "The truth is, if anyone decided to ask me flat out if I approve of marriages between black men and white women, for example, the flood gates would open and the bile I would spew would sink this campaign in 10 seconds tops." As of press time, reports of Santorum's mere reference to his incendiary views had caused his favorability ratings in Alabama and Mississippi to skyrocket.
