GOP Senate Candidate Ken Buck Calls Birthers "Dumbasses" - Political Hotsheet - CBS News

Colorado Republican Senate candidate Ken Buck has once again talked himself into some trouble - this time by calling certain tea-party activists "dumbasses" for questioning the legitimacy of President Obama's birth certificate.

According to the Denver Post, Buck was caught on tape saying in June, "Will you tell those dumbasses at the Tea Party to stop asking questions about birth certificates while I'm on camera." He added, laughing: "God, what am I supposed to do?"

Who?

Sounds kind of dumb of him to me.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

He's a fucking racist for calling Obama's Kenyan grandmother a "Dumbass"

 

[random3434]

I can't believe the Birthers are still at it! Too Funny!

 

[Avatar4321]

Not smart to call any constituents dumbasses. Unless, of course, your Red Forman

 

[Oscar Wao]

I'm sorry, but those constituents probably are a fringe.

He didn't call Tea Party activists dumbasses. He called Birfers dumbasses.

Picture a ven diagram. The two intersect, but they are two different groups.

He was right regarding the birthers.

And Birthers are Dumbasses, so I don't see what the problem is!

Title of the thread implies that he called all Tea Party activists Dumbasses. Not true. He called Birfers dumbasses.

 

[RadiomanATL]

He was right regarding the birthers.

Yes,

Yes he was.

*shrug* probably not.

I'm of the opinion that the Tea parties started out as a good idea, but have long since been co-opted by dumbass birfers, illiterate racists, conniving Republicans and "OMFG all taxes and handouts are TEH EVIL...except for my SS and medicare" crowd. There are probably some good, intelligent people who are still a part of it, but I think they are in the minority now.

And they are dividing the GOP even more, so in November it's going to be 3 different groups of voters instead of 2.

Not good news for the Republicans.


Just my opinion, I could be wrong. (shocking, I know! )

I don't think they're dividing it as much as you think. When push comes to shove, they're going to pull the lever for the (R). The Republicans have made too many inroads into the Tea Parties. Smart move by the (R)'s.

It's not like the Nader-ites who actually were willing to go down in flames because they got ignored by the (D)'s.

and the dems have done everything they can to push away any possible moderate tea party people
