The NAACP on Wednesday blasted Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum for recently singling out blacks for receiving federal benefits, calling his remarks "inaccurate and outrageous."
At a campaign stop in Sioux City, Iowa on Sunday, Santorum was talking about entitlement reform 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."
NAACP President and CEO Benjamin Todd Jealous said in a statement Wednesday that "Santorum's targeting of African Americans is inaccurate and outrageous, and lifts up old race-based stereotypes about public assistance."

I can’t believe it took this long to play the race card against Santorum. They were all over Perry and Paul with it.
The old false outrage gambit. An oldie, but I guess they believe still a goodie.
Yawn.
The Dems went after Santorum in PA when he ran for re-election and all the newspapers proclaimed that “Santorum is not for the poor”. The dumb voters of PA fell for the nonsense. If lies are broadcast wide enough and often enough, people believe the bs.
Personally, I don’t have any problem with Rick for making such a comment.
Today I watched an interview of Rick about this on CNN. Rick denied saying the word “black” on CNN.
Then I listened to the below video. I am truly hearing impaired, but to me, it sure sounds like he said “black”, and if that is the case, he has been trapped in a lie. If he did lie, the blacks are going to tear him into bite size pieces.
Perhaps you and others can hear this video better and come to a different conclusion as to what he said.

GRRRREAT question, BfloGuy! I stayed up late watching the Michigan game last night. I came home from work and laid down. The t.v. was on in the bedroom. My wife watches a lot of t.v. My 1 hour nap turned into a 3 hour nap. I woke up right at the end of Shep Smith and saw O'Reilly with his talking points memo. He caught my interest when he mentioned Santorum coming up. Long story short...(TMI)...I haven't watched O'Reilly in about 10-12 months and almost NO FOX in the evening since Beck left.
They lie and you jump ~ ain't the way we are going to do this anymore. We run that lie back right down their throats and grab holt of it in the nether regions and grasping it in both hands we pull it back and forth like a saw until their guts spill out.
And that's just for starters!
There's nothing more to it.
The NAACP's job is to be a sort of Democrat party "Step 'n Fetchit"
absolutely that was a scum oreilly interview, totally terrible. It seemed like oreally was running flak for romney. What stupid questions he asked, and to read that “black” statement when Santorum never said black, shows what a pathetic piece of crap oreally is.
Here, listen to it and you decide. It sounds like he said it to me, but I am hearing impaired.
If he did say “black” then he has been trapped in a very expensive lie.

He didn’t say it. He wasn’t talking about blacks, he was talking about medicare, and he never used the word black. The video is on YouTube, and it’s clear he didn’t say “black”.
You mean this video? I sounds like he said it to me, but I am hearing impaired. The word “black” would also fit within the context of the conversation at the very point where is sounds like he said it..

These are the same people always wailing that any penny in government spending cuts “hurts people of color the most.”
Now for the video ~ this is quite interesting. It's been edited to shorten up the time from the strange sound (without meaning) to the next "people" ~ such that the first utterance of "people" isn't there! He was shown last evening on the earliest tape to say "...garble.... People, people".
Remember the giant Chinese missile being fired off the West Coast off toward Hawaii or the Aleutians?
That was another CBS production ~ they actually cut and spiced the video to tell a story that NEVER happened. There was no missile!
Well, what you have here is another CBS production ~ Santorum didn't say "black" ~ but CBS has cut and spliced the video to make it seem more like he did.
There's some editing done earlier on the piece that has several chops ~ which take the sound totally out of sequence with the picture.
Might look that one over 25 or 30 times until you notice that.
It's MORE RATHER ONE MO TIME!
HEAR! HEAR! Thanks much for your work on the Beck threads, 'creek! OUTSTANDING!
True. They would have said "poor people" is code for "people of color" and, as they always inform us, government spending cuts ALWAYS "hurt people of color the most."
We think he said “blind”, but that doesn’t make sense either. Others said it sounded like “lives, people’s lives”, but my daughter and I think it sounded like “blind people’s lives”.
It didn’t sound like “black”.
Thanks, biggredd1! If Luntz did a poll of people who had never seen Bill O'Reilly and were told to rate his "interview", they would probably throw-up on t.v.
FUNAACP.
The ruling class has decreed that Mitt face Obama in the general so we are guaranteed NO more years of self-governance.
We will have our Mulatto Mussolini.
Repeating your post for anyone who wants to know the truth:
“Listen to the audio- he never said the word “black”. This is a blatant lie from CBS”:

Even if he had said it, it would have been accurate but the fact is, he didn’t.
