Tommy Christopher:

A review of a clearer version of the video, however, casts serious doubt on whether Santorum actually said “black people’s lives.”

CBS News has posted a cleaner version of Santorum’s remarks, and it seems as though Santorum did not actually say “black people’s lives,” but rather, that he stumbled in mid-sentence with a verbal tic that sounded like that.

“I don’t want to make…mmbligh…people’s lives better” is what it sounds like to me, although CBS News also transcribes it as “”make black people’s lives better by giving them somebody else’s money.”

Given the preceding context, in which he talks about the government trying to get more Iowans enrolled in Medicaid, the former explanation makes much more sense than the latter.


Either you're a liar, or you never actually listened to the video before accepting a biased version of what it actually contained. Liberals have an annoying habit of doing this and I must claim to have not actually listened to the video myself until today.

I suggest people listen to it for themselves, and account for the new, CLEARER video which Christopher provides at Mediaite before making a final judgement.
