Photo- Rick Santorum Electrifies A Black Church Audience

LOL That has to be a facepalm!

LMAO you guys are probably right.

I wonder if Santorum farted? could that explain the whole picture?

lol!

Oh I don't know......

My first thought about this was "wow, this guy must be REALLY BORING!"

He's no more boring than any other politician, or at least most of them. To tell the truth, the fact that these people can have a guest speaker at their church and think nothing of falling asleep and ignoring him, en masse, makes me wonder about them as much as it makes me wonder about his 'magnetism'.

DNFTT

What are you afraid of?

using a troll label indiscrimanately is wrong

while i don't agree with mr bonner, about anything, he should not be labled a troll, he has his point of view and as soon as we stop listening to other points of view we become that which we despise

Well that's nice. What we often see on Newsvine is this so called 'troll' appeal , as if that is the answer to the questions being posed.

I do agree the photo is funny, and Santorum is pretty boring by average person standards. (By politician standards he is run of the mill boring in my opinion).

But my comments are very fair. If this were a white audience and a black speaker we would damn well be hearing the r word on this thread and we all know it.

If this were a white audience and a black speaker we would damn well be hearing the r word on this thread and we all know it.

How about show an example instead of talking out of the side of your neck. This is a funny pic regardless of who is in the front and Santorum just makes it more hilarious because he is a TOTAL snooze fest.

The fact that you think it will be different if the skin of the members of the church and speaker were reversed says FAR more about you and the type of person you are.

If it were a black person speaking and a white audience asleep I would DEFINATELY know that black person is BORING AS HELL!!!!

Race would be the furthest thing from my mind.

Remember when they told President Obama """You lie"""??

Feisty Redhead Roselle, IL Comment collapsed by the community

Al,

I saw this afternoon where some tea baggin douche bag walked out of the prayer breakfast yesterday in the middle of President Obama's speech!

They are incapable of hiding their hatred of the man...

There's video! Look at the TV microphones attached to the podium! Where Oh WHERE is the video?

MY goodness...where are the audience photos? The seats are probably EMPTY - except for a couple old ladies on walkers, which is probably why Ricky has that "lean"!

I guess Lil Ricky figured if Newt wants to go to the NAACP and talk about food stamps he'd go to a black church and rant about "the gays"! NOT a good idea!

Aaaaaaayyymen.

What'll go un-noticed is that many black preachers rail against gays (black churches are very conservative on this issue for the most part)...but often the "Minister of Music" or the organist or "Choir Director" is as gay as gay can get!

And I'm fairly certain that's why the choir was like..."whatever Lil Ricky, whatever"!

Who was that black preacher that got busted for sexing the young guys in his church in Atlanta?

TAC you mean this one Video of him being crowned King(skip until the 7 minute mark....SMDH

.but often the "Minister of Music" or the organist or "Choir Director" is as gay as gay can get!

Not gay, just on the DL. Right?

Plants I just saw the video a couple of days ago....something is wrong very wrong.

Besides making it into the dictionary as a term describing a byproduct of sex, what has Rick Santorum done to deserve the respect of these children and young adults?

It's a photo of some of the rudest, most ill-mannered children I have ever seen, standing behind a presidential candidate

If you are shocked by kids sleeping through a boring speech, you need to see what adults do during powerpoints presentations.

It's a photo of some of the rudest, most ill-mannered children I have ever seen, standing behind a presidential candidate.

Have you not seen santorum speak, and speak and speak after being asked a simple question? The guy loves the sound of his own voice to the detriment of anyone within earshot. He "may" be very intelligent what he is not is a "good" speaker.

No ruder than some dipsh*t congressman calling the President a liar at the State of the Union address.

Find a picture

You find a picture. If you don't have the common sense to know when you are exhibiting the kind of behavior you decry about the majority here daily, then you cannot be helped.

I forgive the unsupervised children. It is the adults that should be blamed. Worse yet are the "posters" on Newsvine who think this is funny and should be sent to their rooms.

Double standard. Would you be laughing if the speaker was Obama?

You find a picture

Ummm, no... since you and sammy have come up with this big "strawman" of what I/we would or would not do, then it is up to YOU to prove it; not me, bud.

Double standard. Would you be laughing if the speaker was Obama?

LOL! If it was a picture set up like this? Ummm, yes. However, we will not know until you produce one. Your feigned outrage is hilarious in and of itself, though. Hell, I am laughing at you now instead of the picture. Thanks for that! :)

blah, blah, blah....

Typical response from someone like you. These statements of yours are defensive, silly and riding on the ridiculous. I suspect, sir, that you are trolling... again.

Would you be laughing if the speaker was Obama?

Yes. I'd be laughing regardless of who the speaker was. And guess what, I'm a liberal! (GASP!)

Double standard. Would you be laughing if the speaker was Obama?

YOU are the one that thinks the situations would be different. That is your problem, not anyone else's.

With all the things that santorum and the repubs have been doing against the black people, he deserves a lot more than this. I would not only laugh, I would encourage and promote it.

a picture set up like this? However, we will not know until you produce one

You're right Lois, I could never find one. White folks would never behave like they do in this picture.

White folks behave like they do in this picture.

Yes, then we agree. Given the same opportunity and circumstances, of course they would. It's called being "human." Try it sometimes.

White folks would never behave like they do in this picture.

Believing that a race would or wouldn't behave a certain way is the very definition of racism.

ohiogal-479871 Great post!!!

Plants....Actually they're not sleeping. They're praying he gets the f$%k out of there soon.

If you are a racist or a racist sympathizer or tolerant you should not get any respect.

Most of the rest are looking down stifling laughter.

Plants @#23.2....Well I guess he at least earned that much.

I'm embarrased

you should be.

Lois, are you twisting my words?

Im 4Me

I'm embarrased for the posters on this thread.

Reported as INFLAMMATORY!!!! I think that Sally will be coming by with her suspension log.

It's not inflammatory to disagree.

I continue to be embarrased for any poster that thinks that picture is funny. It's also embarrasing to those children and in particular their parents. Have you no manners?

Do all the racists and racism tolerant people in the repub party have any manners or humanity or decency?

What does race have to do with a picture of ill-mannered children? Sorry to have to say this, but I'm with IM4 on this one.

If You have to ask.

Courtesy of IM4 and if you are with him that makes you two peas and a pod.

@ Iskate:

re: What does race have to do with a picture of ill-mannered children?

Race was first brought up by sambonner; see below.

Two is that if this were a picture of a prominent liberal black figure talking while a group of all white people behind him were sleeping, daydreaming or ignoring him, we would be flooded with comments about how they were disrespecting him because of his race.

He initially injected race into this discussion. Then, Im4 me made further insults along those same lines. Did you read the entire thread or just one post from Im4 me?

Sorry to have to say this, but I'm with IM4 on this one.

Of course you are. Of course.

The question is:

What does race have to do with a picture of ill-mannered children?

I am not responsible for what other posters write. I am not a pea. Can anyone answer this question without smartypants replies?

Can you read the seed without someone holding your hand? Don't set yourself up for "smartypants replies" and then be astonished when you get them.
