I'm a democrat, so naturally, I'd prefer Obama in office. At least, compared to everyone else. But if there had to be a Republican in office, plleeeease, for the love of GOD, don't let it be Santorum!

It could be argued Obama is a government n****r in the same sense Patti Smith was a rock n' roll n****r. But to use the word as a term of endearment based on supposed unique qualities of his falls short when you realize his most prominent difference from that there gaggle of traditional presidents is the color of his skin. No, what I think is he casually refers to Obama as "the n****r" when in discreet assembly with his fellow Dominionists.

This breaks out and Romney sweeps three states. I think it can be directly attributed to his downfall.

Republicans seem to be very PC about this, among some other things.

Not referring to blacks as "niggers" is hardly PC. It's called not being a bigot.

mm. I'm more referring to the extent of the backlash. While racial slurs are still heavily stigmatised here, language is a lot more 'free flowing'. There's always a little cultural shock when in the USA someone says a word and the whole room stops and stares, metaphorically speaking.

Has this slip been mentioned in newspapers or news media sites? so far I have only seen any mentions of this though the many youtube videos pointing it out and on the different forums basically posting the youtube videos.
Are we talking about the same guy who doesn't want government money to go to "Blah" people?

No. A slip is a slip and I don't think the larger media sources wanted to get into a he said / they said argument.

Me personally, I can't believe that is what Santorum was going to say. It wouldn't surprise me, because he's a bigot, but I can't really even imagine bigots going on record like that these days.

Pretty much this. Our media didn't cover it. Our media coverage of the GOP race generally sits around curious light mocking of Santorum and calling Romney as likely winner again and again every time a new state declares either way. There was also one point two months ago where they did a special on the Ron Paul strategy.

@The Curse: The only way I've been hearing about the Republican race is through LGBT sources Advocate and Queerty. Neither source has figured out who will do the least damage yet.

More or less the US's approach as well.

Now that "Macaca" thing from that one guy, that went on forEVER.

Well, baby, you conservatives made it chic' to dive into one's bigotry and protest any criticism of it as the other side being "politically correct" also, as one conservative writer pointed out. Add in the bleeding over of internet/4chan values to real life behavior, and you reap what you sow.
Any republican that is as hardcore against gays as he is, is bound to be found soliciting male prostitutes. I look forward to the day like a twelve year old looks forward to getting laid.
