What is astounding about the Santorum/Gingrick 'thing' is that it didn't matter. The racial 'fact sheet' didn't matter. Santorum tied for Iowa and Gingrick is expecting to place well in South Carolina. Are the principles of hate so entrenched in the Republican Party that it is impossible for them to find abhorrence is not possible?
Racism? There’s An App For That (click title to entry - thank you)
by Daryl Gale, The Philadelphia Tribune...Last week’s victims of foot-in-mouth disease, Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich, are perfect examples. When Santorum said he wouldn’t help Black people by giving them other people’s money; and when Newt opined that he’d give Blacks janitorial jobs instead of food stamps — you know, so “those people” can learn some sort of work ethic — they were slapped around by everyone from the NAACP to members of their own party.
Both were hauled in front of the cameras and forced to backtrack, explain, and further clarify their idiotic statements until they were blue in the face, and I loved every minute of it. When you say stupid, racist things simply to pander to stupid, racist voters you should be called on it....
