Rick Santorum calls President Obama a "nig"

[Scuba]

"Blah people." Nah, Icky Ricky doesn't just refer to "blah" people.

Meanwhile Tony Scalia and John Roberts will tell you that racism is over in America.

1. oh.my.fucking.dog.

When and where was this?

Holy shit. That sounded very intentional.

[dembotoz]

2. yes when and where

wow

[marym625]

3. The video was published on YouTube March 30, 2012

But it doesn't say when or where the speech was

[dmr]

4. Sounds like it was just before the last presidential election.

Such a good Christian thing to say, eh?

The truth comes out ... drip, drip, drip ...

[marym625]

5. I honestly believe it was intentional.

He believed it would bring him votes without it being called out.

I just sometimes hate what we have become. The rest of the world must see us as a bunch of sniveling, complaining, weak, self righteous assholes.

[L0oniX]

6. Going for those KKK voters.

[marym625]

7. kkk teabaggers

One in the same.

[KansDem]

24. Or simply...

"teabakkkers"

[marym625]

27. Good one

Works for me

[marym625]

11. Thank you, Raine1967

Appreciate it.

So almost 3 years ago to the day. We can bet that his racism hasn't changed.

What an awful human being.

[Buenaventura]

15. Ahh yes, Janesville. Home of Paul Ryan and the Wisconsin KKK. n/t

[riversedge]

26. R

[edgineered]

22. nice find!

[Jefferson23]

8. I don't know how anyone could honestly say that he did not mean to say that..wow. n/t

[BumRushDaShow]

10. That was well-hidden

but then he was toast anyway. And if he tries to run again, he will for sure be moldy

[marym625]

13. I'm sure he thought

He was Jesus Christ on a cheese sandwich

[Cha]

37. ..

[Raine1967]

[marym625]

14. I seriously want to cry

[Glimmer of Hope]

23. Wow.

[Enthusiast]

36. Evil racist fuck.

[DonViejo]

16. The response of YouTube members to this "speech" is as depressing as the speech itself...

788 424

[cpwm17]

33. It's ambiguous - I won't worry about that.

A thumbs up may just mean the rater just wants to give more attention to the speech and a thumbs down may mean the rater doesn't like what Santorum said. Though it's YouTube, so one shouldn't be surprised what's posted in the comments section.

[gregcrawford]

17. Definition of "Santorum"...

... didn't it have something to do with post-coital rectal secretions? Sounds about right . A very succinct description of this POS.

[KansDem]

25. I think a new work as been created...

"Insantorum"

noun--
1. the GOP state of being seriously mentally ill; GOP madness.
"The Republican suffered from bouts of insantorum."
2. extreme GOP foolishness or irrationality.

[turbinetree]

18. Hypocrite

This reminder of this man is that he will do whatever it takes right along with others of his ilk, to do or say something to make them "look" important, and the media is always there.
Lets drop this person from our collective view and place in where he belongs, as insignificant

[Thespian2]

19. Thanks, Scuba

Ricky lives off corporate ass-holes and tax-payer funds. He will say or do anything to keep his income coming it. What a POS!

[cwydro]

20. I cannot stand this guy.

But I had no idea about this speech until I just saw it.

Thank you for posting it.

What a scum.

[allan01]

21. hem

i am so sick of that word . BAH HUMBUG. and of course , they have been wanting to say it in public for a long time

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

28. If only ALL teapartiers and 89% of republicans didnt call Obama that word EVERY Day

[onecaliberal]

29. What. The. Hell?!?

[bobjacksonk2832]

30. My contempt for Santorum grows more and more each day.

Typical GOP idiot. I sincerely hope that this huge gaffe is the final nail in the coffin for him. But I doubt it, sadly. Other GOP officials have said much worse and gotten away with it.

[Blue Owl]

31. Good thing this leaked out

Props to Scuba!

[2naSalit]

32. That rolled off the tongue so easily for him. n/t

[napkinz]

34. he was doing a scene from Blazing Saddles ...

[Enthusiast]

35. Rick Santorum = Racist POS

[jmowreader]

38. That little "uh" following the "nig" seals the deal

[Rex]

39. Amazing and if you go and look at urban dictionary, Pond Scum knew what he meant.

Just how many Klansmen plan on running for office this year? We have Rick Perry, Jeb Bush, Huckabee.

[progressoid]

40. Ugh. My neighbors Love this guy.

[Gothmog]

41. Santorum is a racist idiot
