Black Woman Confronts Santorum Over Comments: ‘Why Do You Have A Problem Against Black People?’

[one_voice]

HOLLIS, New Hampshire — At a campaign event outside a pharmacy here Saturday afternoon, an African-American woman confronted Rick Santorum over recent comments he made that the NAACP and others have called racially insensitive.

*snip*

At the campaign stop Saturday, the woman — who slipped away from the event before ThinkProgress was able to get her name — asked, “Why do you have a problem against black people?”

WOMAN: Mr. Santorum, why do you have a problem against black people? We are the only ones who need aid? The statistics show that it’s not the popularity [sic] that’s the most needy.

SANTORUM: I didn’t say that. I understand that.

WOMAN: OK, then why’d you say that?

SANTORUM: OK, we gotta go. I didn’t say that.

2. Iowa was the high point of his entire political career.

That was just a fluke. He had the RW fundies on his side. It's all down hill from here.

The lady had a valid point and he didn't have the guts or the courtesy to give her an honest answer.

You know the word "uppity" was running through his head, the same opinion he has of Obama.

He had to run away before he got caught saying something really stupid he would regret.
