Santorum: Obama is a NIG-the uh

[Lincoln Republican]

First the Blah word, now the "N" word?

Rick, get out before you embarass yourself any further!

[Lincoln Republican]

Romney has made some memorable gaffes during this campaign, however, nothing like this remark by Santorum.

Republicans, even conservative Republicans, even conservative evangelical Republicans, do you really want a candidate who would refer to the President of the United States in this manner?

Santorum has moved from a being a candidate expessing some legitimate views, to  being a nuisance, to now becoming an absolute embarassment, to the party, and I hate to say it, to the nation.

He has to step aside.

[Lincoln Republican]

After the blah remark and now the nig remark, I wouldn't be surprised if blacks start pursuing Santorum with pitch forks and torches.

[Lincoln Republican]

I think he meant to say ndly.

Seriously, if he really almost let the N-word slip or would even want to call someone that, he's even worse than people already thought.

nig·gard·ly   
adjective
1. reluctant to give or spend; stingy; miserly.
2. meanly or ungenerously small or scanty: a ndly tip to a waiter.

Well, if ndly fits the context of what Santorum was saying..........

[Lincoln Republican]

“Oh, come on!” Santorum spokesman Hogan Gidley told Raw Story when asked for comment. “Give me a break. That’s unbelievable. What does it say about those that are running with this story that that’s where their mind goes. You know, I’m not going to dignify that with [a response].”

Translation: 

Oh, come on!  Well, uh, er, you know, I really have no explanation why Senator Santorum would almost drop the "N" bomb on President Obama.  You know, I'm not going to dignify that with a response, because the truth of the matter is, I really don't have a response.

[Lincoln Republican]

Hmmm, perhaps Santorum meant to say..........

niggle?..........

I wonder..........

[Lincoln Republican]

Should we be cynical about this incident, or should we be giving Rick the benefit of the doubt?

I mean, there was the blah incident awhile back.
