It is well known that Obama and his administration want to create division among ethnic groups, as that is at the core of leftist dogma.

I strongly suspect that before this is over, the recording will be examined by experts in the field using sophisticated equipment.

Thanks tobyhill.
...when he said, "I don't want to make black people's lives better by giving them somebody else's money; I want to give them the opportunity to go out and earn the money."
Well, that does it for Santorum. He needed to say "I don't want to pretend to make lives better by taking money from the person earning it and giving it to someone who's not, I want to get the government off the backs of the people who create jobs."

The story pretty much died today because that has been done ~ but we weren’t told about it.

They are trying to paint Santorum as a racist, Newt as a crazed chain saw murderer and Cain as a womanizer.

There's nothing new under the sun.

If Miltie should, God forbid, get the nomination, the big guns will come out against Mormonism and the sad part of it is, they won't even have to lie about it.

Whatever he said, giving welfare to poor folk is like putting miracle grow on weeds. It doesn’t solve the ‘poor’ problem. The result is exactly the opposite.

Every time a young girl has a baby out of wedlock they are usually headed for the entitlement program. We should be able to take the baby away & put it up for adoption or put in foster care. The young girl should be given birth control so she can continue with her education & the baby has a chance to survival in a different environment.

My wife just got home from work and she confirms what you said.

Too many years on the gun range and riding Harley’s. LOL

Remember when Rush lost his hearing? He has a prosthetic device in his inner-ear. It generates a stream of electrical signals to the remaining part of his nerves ~ but it doesn't affect all of them.

He can appreciate music that was recorded before he lost his hearing ~ provided he heard it back then. He can't get enough signal through this system to learn any new music.

So, why can he hear the old stuff? Well, his brain fills in the missing material. That's what's going on here. You lost some hearing. Your brain hears clues ~ a brief sound bit here or there, and FILLS IT IN so that you know what you heard.

Or maybe you DON'T!

There are people who have lost accuity in hearing ~ they are certain they are hearing "black" or "blacks" ~ and it can't be both either ~ but they are totally certain.

Sorry, that word isn't there. It's just your brain, and their brains, playing tricks ~ like it's designed to do.

Give you an example drawn from nature. You are out there hunting for a Rhinoceros and you hear a heavy breath behind you somewhere in the grass. Is it a lion, or a tiger, or a baboon? Your brain takes the sound you heard and matches it to a best fit ~ TIGER!!!! Oh, my gosh, and you turn just in time to let fly an arrow into a crouching baboon.

Sometimes the brain is wrong, but if it'd told you "Oh, that's just a baboon breathing" and it was a lion, then you'd be dead.

“I agree with Santorum’s larger point, but he could have made the point better without singling out any particular group of people”

I agree with you. You know the media is now going to ask him to expand on this with trick questions now that Rick has opened the door.

I listened to it full volume a few times and I didn’t get “black” out of it. It sounds garbled to me. At best he said “Blah” as he was shifting thoughts or words.

I believe that the MSM and Media Matters have been scouring tapes for moments like this to paint the doubt of racism on Conservatives.

Did the NAACP say a word about Paul’s ‘newsletters’ that he knew nothing about about (but his name was on them, I guess that doesn’t count...

Nope-they came to his defense!

http://www.therightperspective.org/2011/12/24/ron-paul-no-racist-naacp-austin-president/

“Texas Congressman and presidential candidate Ron Paul is not a racist and is being smeared as one because he is a clear threat to the political establishment, says Nelson Linder, Austin president of the NAACP.”

One of paul’s quotes from his newsletter thaat he “didn’t write:

http://www.tnr.com/article/politics/98883/ron-paul-incendiary-newsletters-exclusive

““A Special Issue on Racial Terrorism” analyzes the Los Angeles riots of 1992: “Order was only restored in L.A. when it came time for the blacks to pick up their welfare checks three days after rioting began. ... What if the checks had never arrived? No doubt the blacks would have fully privatized the welfare state through continued looting. But they were paid off and the violence subsided.”

i think that may be a LITTLE more damning than santorum’s blurb but I guess if the NAACP sees it differently maybe i am wrong?

/sarcasm off

This discussion reminds me of an old ethnic/racist joke:

Q. Why are so many [insert group of choice] on welfare?

A. Too lazy to steal.

I understand the concepts. My hearing has been degrading for years.

I should get hearing aids, but I am too vain ( I may be 63, but I am still a good looking man LOL) and I am too cheap... they cost about 6 to 8k each to get what I would want.

I am not deaf in both ears yet and I have learned to lipread.

Getting old isn’t for sissies.

It was originally a lie by CBS. NAACP may or may not realize that—but if they do know, they don’t care. Remember the accusations of racism against the tea party—they make things up out of whole cloth when necessary, and then the media makes sure that is what the public thinks is the truth.

“Todd Jealous needs to get his hearing checked ASAP.”

Since when did these racist “journalist” bastards let the truth get in their way?
