Santorum "Racial Gaffe" A Figment of Left's Imagination

It's the campaign season, and a conservative Republican is in the running for the nomination. As predictable as the tides, the Drive-By Media is now inventing offenses.  This time, they're claiming Santorum intended to call the President the "n-word."  I've watched the video several times now...all that's there is a single n in a stutter.

The quote was "We know what candidate Obama was like, the anti-war government (something...seriously just an N sound that was likely just a stutter), America was the source for division around the world..."

This has been followed by numerous amounts of inuendo disguised as rational and thoughtful analysis. The most logical answer is not in fact to assume a racial slur.  It is to assume it as a stutter, which is my best guess.  But just in case that's not what it was, and that some sort of insult was intended and then Senator Santorum decided against the insult, let's give you OTHER things that are both logical and plausible assumptions before going straight to the cry of racism.

"We know what candidate Obama was like, the anti-war government narcicist, America was the source for division around the world..." (A very accurate depiction of this President, by the way).

"We know what candidate Obama was like, the anti-war government instigator, America was the source for division around the world..." (Instigator is a synonym for "agitator," a term frequently applied to Mr. Obama's community organizer work.)

"We know what candidate Obama was like, the anti-war government nuisance, America was the source for division around the world..." (Another valid synonym for agitator).

"We know what candidate Obama was like, the anti-war government nitwit, America was the source for division around the world..."

"We know what candidate Obama was like, the anti-war government nincompoop, America was the source for division around the world..."

""We know what candidate Obama was like, the anti-war government nut-job, America was the source for division around the world..."

Every single one of these things are plausible. The top three make rhetorical sense as well given the President's past and personality.   The bottom three, while childish, are not racist. Then, of course, there is the single most probable answer: Senator Santorum stuttered mid sentence.

Senator Santorum has been the subject of inuendo by the Drive-By Media and the typical "well of course he's racist, we all know that" baloney that the Left spews and the Drive-Bys repeat since he became a viable candidate in January.  That doesn't surprise me.

What does surprise me is the number of genuinely intelligent and well meaning indivudals buy into these stories each and every time they happen and yet never notice the pattern...each time simply thinking "oh just this once it's true." This is media bias on parade, friends. Pass it on.
