It was a stmuble that did not even really sound like ‘black’.

I think he said the word “black”. I’m saying even if he didn’t say the word, it’s unclear and Ed is wrong to write this post as if it’s certain Santorum didn’t, when he hasn’t denied it, and many people think he did

That’s because he certainly did not say that, and those who think he did generally have a vested interest in discrediting the man.

There is no long “I” in “black”.

Asking that ‘pointed question’ is racist.

And avoiding it is cowardly.

Personally, I like Santorum’s grasp of economics, regardless.

Doubtless this is good to know, BlaxPac.

Not so much to know, but the times HAVE come to the point, that to remind the media rank and file that not EVERY member of the so-called “Minority Community” vote or even agree with them. It cannot be expressed enough, IMHO, especially after seeing the last 4 years unfold.

But in the grand scheme of things, what you can or cannot stand doesn’t really matter very much.

:Shrug: You are, of course entitled to your opinion, JackieB…but to believe that you don’t matter is to surrender without a fight…and to me, to keep this country from sliding…the heck with that…sprint towards 2nd world status is worth fighting to prevent.

A million thanks for your input on that, BlaxPac. Really.

You’re welcome :o) Trust me, I have plenty more where that came from. Cheers!

When asked about it, he said he was familiar with the quote, but doesn’t remember the context.

So? That just means this isn’t the first time he heard it? That doesn’t mean he did or didn’t say it, just that he knows what the questioner is talking about, presumably because someone has asked him before.

And not everyone believes he did not say it either.

And like what you think, it’s their opinion. I’m not sure what he said.

He said black, there’s no question about it.

That’s your opinion.

Also? most welfare recipient in the U.S. are white.

That’s true and no one is even saying they’re not.

Are you working at adding anything to these debates?

Not me. Not us. You.

Us? You got a mouse in your pocket?

You’re on my ignore list. Nothing you post is worth reading, you dishonest hack.

Bye!

And what’s the percentage ratio of the numbers on welfare to general population?

Hmmm?

That’s what we have community organizers for.

I don’t like to admit that.

I would like to beat Alan Colmes over the head with a dead chicken…but he said it.

*sigh*

I have to tell you that the on the 31 second clip I saw, I did think he said black but on the 46 second clip it was far less “clear”. Regardless, even if he said it, it didn’t have any true context to the rest of his statement so it certainly wasn’t a racist error. Unless you are big into Freud.
