MSNBC contributor Jimmy Williams sterotyped and labeled Republican presidential hopeful Rick Santorum on Now with Alex Wagner Tuesday, accusing the former Senator of being “a homophobe and a bigot.”

Ron Paul was first on the hit list: “disqualified himself for the presidency by peddling claptrap proposals“and ”opposing the Civil Rights Act of 1964.”

“I find it utterly fascinating, when white people think they know how black people think,” said Williams, a senior strategist for United Republic.

Santorum’s comments were: “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 and provide for themselves and their families.”
