Rick Santorum’s mouth may be getting him into trouble again. A few months after her was accused of saying he didn’t want to give “black people” someone else’s hard-earned money, he is denying that he may have nearly called the president the n-word during speech in Wisconsin. Raw Story, a progressive news site, has the video, and confronted the Santorum campaign about its candidate’s comments:

By David Edwards | Raw Story: The Internet was buzzing on Friday morning that Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum may have almost dropped the n-bomb on President Barack Obama.
Speaking to a group of voters in Janesville, Wisconsin on Wednesday, the candidate seemed to catch himself before using a word that sounds like “n*gger” to describe the president. (The original video of the speech is available here. The remarks in question take place at about 34:50.)
“We know the candidate Barack Obama, what he was like – the anti-war government nig… America was a source for division around the world, that what we were doing was wrong,” Santorum said.
“Oh, come on!” Santorum spokesman Hogan Gidley told Raw Story when asked for comment. “Give me a break. That’s unbelievable. What does it say about those that are running with this story that that’s where their mind goes. You know, I’m not going to dignify that with [a response].”
