The fact some local county office seeker uttered such crap, in and of itself, says nothing.
The fact both the senate and grubenatorial candidates who attended this dinner apparently have stayed silent rather than risk offending a significant portion of their party base by rightly condeming such garbage, sadly, says a ton about the GOP (at least in CO).
The former isn't the issue. There's silly persons even in places like Vermont. The point that major candidates are that close to him and not condemning him is kind of a Reverend Wright thing (saying that our Government butchers 6 year olds for political brownie points is morally similar to saying that America deserved 9/11 for being unjust) for Gardner and Beauprez. Its at least worth considering for an attack ad though Reverend Wright probably only cost, at most, Missouri in 2008.
