Rick Santorum Finally Calls President Obama A Nigga.


There are few people on this earth that I love more than Abena Agyeman-Fisher, the editor at NewsOne.com.   A consummate professional and arguably the leading online journalist in the country, Abena is never someone I would accuse of being a liar.  But this morning, after rolling out of bed and sitting at my desk in my gym shorts, I really thought my colleague might have been hitting the crack pipe.
“Dr. Boyce.  Rick Santorum has a video up in which he refers to President Obama as a n*gger,” she said to me.

“What did you say?” I said, as my face twisted up like a newborn baby eating a piece of broccoli.  Even I couldn’t believe what my editor was telling me, and I thought she’d lost her mind.

Then, I saw the video.  Yes, he said it.  I’m sure the Rick Santorum campaign team is strategizing faster than Homeland Security after a terrorist attack to find any BS excuse to convince us that we’re not actually hearing what we can clearly hear.  But the evidence shows that Rick Santorum is running head first into the word “n*gger” as he describes the first black president.


I’ve watched this video 14.5 times.  I’ve meditated on it, prayed over it, laid hands on it, and sent it to my mama.   I had to take a moment to thank God that Rick Santorum, in his conservative brilliance, has finally released videotaped evidence of the kind of smoking gun that many millions of us can use to prove that he is every bit as racist as we’ve always known him to be.

Super PAC Are The Biggest Cowards In American History


More than a third of the awards advertising tied to the presidential race has been funded by nonprofit groups that will never have to reveal their donors, suggesting that a significant portion of the 2012 elections will be wrapped in a vast cloak of secrecy.

The bulk of the secret money spent so far has come from conservative groups seeking to propel a Republican into the White House, advertising data show. Millions of dollars in additional spending from both sides has poured into legislative races, such as the Senate contest in Massachusetts, that could help determine which party controls Congress in 2013.


The flow of funds is part of a wave of spending by outside groups — particularly super PACs, which have few limits on their activities — that has quickly come to dominate the 2012 presidential contest.

GOP Call On Kids To Down The Poor.


First they announced their endorsement of Mitt Romney, then they weighed in on how much fun it is to fire people, and now they're back to put into perspective how little money $360,000 is. Speaking fees? More like, chump change.

As America waits with bated breath to see what happens in the Florida primary, these kids are here to remind everyone that having a president who isn't as rich as Mitt Romney is the single worst thing that could happen to this country.

How Much More Disrespect Does The President Have To Take...Enough is Enough.


One prominent conservative talker is admitting what conservatives are really thinking.

Llimited resources versus barack obama who i saw last night wow a huge crowd in washington at this big dinner. i mean, a bunch of us sitting next to each other, very prominent conservatives, former bush cabinet members , we're looking at each other going, i don't know if mitt romney can beat him.

So prominent conservatives are scared. now they are doing what they do best when they're scared. playing ugly politics. here's the head of the republican national committee , reince priebus.

In a few months, this is all going to be ancient history and we're going to talk about our own little captain scatino who is president obama abandoning the ship here and is more interested in campaigning than doing his job as president.

Comparing the president to a man charged with manslaughter? a man charged with this reckless cruise ship disaster where 17 people died and 16 are still missing. and here's tea party freshman alan west in florida over the weekend.

Take your message of equality of achievement, take your message of economic dependency, take your message of enslaving the entrepreneur will and spirit of the american people somewhere else. you can take it to europe. you can take it to the bottom of the sea. you can take it to the north poll, but get the hell out of the united states of america . yeah, i said hell.

GOP Speak Their True Feeling about Black People.


Most of the "Sh-- People Say" videos that have sprung up in recent weeks involve actors mocking -- and, often, exaggerating -- the types of statements they associate with various groups. But when it comes to things Republican politicians says about and to the black community, there's no need for a script or embellishment. Jezebel has pulled together real-life clips of quotes from everyone from Romney to Cain that make more of a statement than any spoof could.

Many of these gems will (unfortunately) sound familiar:

"Not all cultures are equal."

"I don't want to make black people's lives better."

"Who let the dogs out?"

"I didn't say that ... people said I said 'black' ... I didn't."

"We have the ability when we recognize that something is wrong to change it ... we no longer have slavery. That's a good thing."

"A third of the black people in this country, at least, are thinking for themselves."

"I know this from my own experience that blacks are not the greatest swimmers."

And there are more where those came from. By the end of the 2012 presidential race, there will probably be enough for a feature-length film

GOP using our kids to hate on President Obama


On the eve of the South Carolina primary, everyone is wondering if, come Monday, the GOP will have its candidate. This is the time where a powerful endorsement or two could either push Romney over the line or give him a serious run for his money (disadvantage: Romney in the latter case, as he's never had to run for money before and will most likely pull something).

One powerful group has seized this opportune time to throw their support behind a candidate, and it could shake up the election more than any other endorsement to date.

After all, to lead the future, you need the future's vote. And there's only one candidate with the credentials to get it. Check out our exclusive video above and let us know what you think it means for the election in the comments.
