Republican CO-Sen candidate caught on tape calling Teabaggers "dumbasses"

Buck Caught Criticizing Tea Party
Colorado U.S. Senate hopeful Ken Buck (R) was caught on tape by a Democratic operative referring to Tea Party supporters as "dumbasses," the Denver Post reports.

Said Buck: "Will you tell those dumbasses at the Tea Party to stop asking questions about birth certificates while I'm on the camera?"

Buck has positioned himself as the Tea Party candidate, and later said if he had it to do over again, he would not use the negative language.

1. The truth hurts

Birfers and TeaBagglicons everywhere will surely get their diapers in a twist over this.

But then again, since Buck is a republicon, he may soon refudiate the truth he done uttered.

8. NOW we know what to do! Attend GOP town halls and ask about the birth certificate!
Also ask about chemtrails, FEMA camps, the plan for martial law against classified flesh-eating and Area 51.
