It will be very hard for the Repugs to back step on remarks made on Saturday against African-Americans Congressmen and Gay Congressmen that were made by Teabaggers.
For to long, memers of the GOP openly embraced the baggers, and even during the Presidential Campaign neither Grampy or Caribu Barbie took action when individuals attending their rallies yelled out "Kill Him" at campaign rallies.
When your political leadership lays down in cow plop, it tends to stick.

44 - McCain Campaign Condemns Backer's Obama Remarks
There was a rumble of disapproval from the crowd when McCain defended his Democratic rival. "I have to tell you he is a decent person and a person that you do not have to be scared of as president of the United States," McCain said.
When a woman referred to Obama yesterday as "an Arab," McCain cut her off and seized the microphone from her hands. "No, ma'am," he interjected. "He is a decent family man with whom I happen to have some disagreements." In fact, the most rousing applause of the afternoon came not for McCain, but for one of several questioners who appealed to the candidate to "fight" in next Wednesday's final debate with Obama.
"If you want a fight, we will fight," McCain replied. "But we will be respectful. I admire Senator Obama and his accomplishments. I don't mean that has to reduce your ferocity. I just mean to say you have to be respectful."

To Minority Leader Boehner's credit, he stated that he found the remarks and actions reprehensible.
Who wouldnt?
I dont give Boehner credit for saying that...I expect him to feel it and if he says it great.
I guess we are on different wavelengths.
Do you trulky believe that the GOP and conservatives approve of such actions?
Do you truly believe that anger toward blatant racism is rewserved only for Democrats and if a republican makes a comment it is out of the ordinary?
Why would you give credit to any politician that says he or she finds such actions reprehensible?
