On Sunday’s “Face the Nation” on CBS, Republican presidential hopeful Rick Santorum explained that his view of the Trayvon Martin shooting differed significantly from the one held by former House Speaker Newt Gingrich.
Gingrich was critical of President Barack Obama’s reaction, but Santorum placed the blame on accused shooter George Zimmerman’s mental state.
“Well, you know, obviously, I’m not privy to what’s going on in someone’s mind,” Santorum said. “Obviously, in my opinion, someone … has a very sick mind who would pursue someone like this. This is clearly a heinous act. You know, there are a lot of people who have a lot of distorted views of reality. It’s a tragic, tragic case. And my heart goes out to the parents, too. I can’t imagine what they’re suffering, losing their son in such a horrific way. All I would say is that, whatever the motive is, it was a malicious one, and a very, very tragic one.”

Rick, if I was George, I would sue your ignornant, stupid A$$ to kingdom come.
Shut the **** up, jerk.
When Rick was on Hannity on the radio I thought he mis-spoke, but with this stupid rant on Sunday TV, I will not vote for Rick when the PA primary gets here in April.
This pandering pussy, will win no votes from the left, and will only alienate clear thinking people that want to know the facts before judgment is rendered.
Will Rick kick in some of the reward money to help out the black panthers with their $10,000 Dead or Alive poster?
Hey Rick, ESAD.
So you wouldn't see Rick in bed with Mitt.
He’s a follower, not a leader. In PA, the unions told him to vote against right-to-work, and he said OK. In the Senate leadership, he was told to vote for No Child Left Behind & go along with an insane fiscal policy, and he said OK. He does have convictions - genuine, heartfelt convictions (unlike Romney) - but outside of certain social issues such as abortion, he doesn’t seem to have the courage of his convictions.
Which isn’t to say he’s a bad guy. Just a kinda average, uninspiring guy. Still prefer him over Romney, because the later is a snake, who (like Obama) seems to lust for power for its own sake.
Ya can count on the Black vote now, for sure, Rick.
A fool because he thinks this will buy him Black votes
Untrustworthy because he speaks without having the facts and says anything he thinks will get him elected.
Church ladies don’t care what Santorum does. He is their man.
I am really disappointed in Rick.
Sadly, he is destroying his own campaign. Nobody else is doing it for him.
Looks to me like he’s intentionally doing a mini McCain and killing his own campaign.
Disappointing.
Toast... just another moron that resolves his mind without the benefit of the facts just to pander to africans.
well this does it for me, another dumbass. where do we get these losers?
This is why I have always worried about Santorum. While his views are generally conservative, he is easily manipulated. Jedi Mind Tricks work easily on this one. Newt, not so much, as demonstrated by this episode. Newt’s reaction is spot on.
But when a white guy kills a black youth in a hoodie everyone in America seems to think that there is some kind of white on black crime epidemic that is suggestive that every white male heterosexual man is a hate filled racist.
This kind of incident occurs once in a blue moon. But blacks killing whites for no apparent reason happens every single day in this country.
I have noted over the yrs when some racially tinged kerfuffle (often ginned up) occurs subsequent sober investigations reveal facts which markedly diverge from the histrionics deployed by the race agitators and media conflict mongers.
And then it quietly all fades away in back pages and via hushed, hurried follow-up news references; I predict more of the same here. Meanwhile the damage is already done,and perhaps that’s part of the strategy of the play, anyway...sick and subversive world we live in right now.
I have the same feeling that I had when Herman Cain went after Rick Perry over the “N-head” rock. See ya, Rick.
I’ll say it again...
Santorum is not ready for prime time. He does not have the wisdom or deliberate thought to be President.
