I mean, I want to give him the benefit of the doubt, because even Rick Santorum shouldn't be this stupid, but I can't really think of a logical explanation as to what else "nig..." could mean.
Boo this man.
UPDATE: The spirit on tumblr seems to be one of barely-contained glee. It's like everyone's been waiting for Ricky to say something really fucking racist. I think that reaction might be the best part.

To give him the benefit of the doubt, I did a search on words that start "nig"... once you rule out the ones where the g is silent, the list is pretty damning... http://words-that-start-with-nig.worddetector.com/s/
ReplyDeleteGovernment knicker? Nah, Foamy almost dropped the N-bomb. Idiot.
ReplyDeleteMaybe he meant to say niggling or niggardly, neither of which is related to the N word but then again, this is Santorum, speaking to a conservative crowd, so he may well have said what he apparently said!
ReplyDeleteYou know I'll admit that I voted for this guy in the primary election but I will never support this guy again. There's no excuse for this.

I guarantee you this guy probably forgot he wasn't talking in some back room to his white friends. He got caught with his inner racist showing. I'm surprised but I'm not surprised. I guess I knew he was heinous enough without the racism but this takes it to a whole new level.
ReplyDeleteLove this blog, by the way. :-)
Did he have any kind of rebuttal to this? if so, I can't find it. What a racist moron.
