Santorum almost calls Obama the N-word?

I hadn't seen this anywhere until just a little while ago. It definitely seems like he was getting ready to drop a racial slur on the audience before catching himself. I'll let the 8th be the judge:

Meh. I dislike Santorum a lot, but I highly doubt that's where he was going.

 

Government nig***? Not sure it would make sense....it also almost seemed like he said "nic" not "nig"...was he going to say sychophant..but started out "nicuh" instead of "sicuh"?

 

Nincompoop?

I don't know, and I don't care. I wouldn't vote for him either way.

 

Don't think he was going for the "N" word there.

 

I seriously doubt he was going for niggardly unless he is more ignorant than I thought.

 

Was going to say 'macaca' until he saw George Allen waving him off....

 

I don't see it. It's pretty sad that republicans can't mention obama and a single word starting with N without people assume they are dropping a racial slur. do democrats really believe that the N word is getting dropped that often in private that it just pops out in public occasionally?

 

No; but I am sure NBC News can edit it to make him say it.

 

Total speculation here, but i think he was going for "[unt cay] face"
