Black Woman Confronts Santorum Over Comments: ‘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.

1. of course he said it.

i would love to see a compilation of republicans' recorded remarks which they then claimed not to have said.

2. Just lie and deny, Rick.

It's a Republican tradition.

3. Was Santorum Confronted With This Issue At Either Debate - Last Night Or This Morning?......

If so - what did he say? Whar are 'blah' people? If not - why didn't one of the debate moderators confront him on this issue?

4. You go get 'em lady. You've got more balls than MOD does.

MOD has the problem that even if he was not going to say Black, the Republican party has such a long history of bigotry that a presumption that he was instinctively making a racist statement is a logical presumption.

5. Occasionally we get a savory subject line.

This is one of those times. This subject line is satisfying.

After click:
Of course Rick "didn't say that." The Republican Party should trademark the phrase. We have Rick on record swallowing his words too late. He needs to own those words or eat them.
