U.S. Senate candidate Ken Buck of Colorado has had another bumpy run through the news cycle, after a Democratic video tracker caught Buck lamenting the visibility of the "birther" contingent in the state tea party movement. Birthers — people who believe that President Obama has concealed evidence that he is not, in fact, a U.S. citizen — are indeed vocal tea party supporters in Colorado. The problem for Buck, however, is that they also form part of his own voter base.
"Will you tell those dumb----- at the tea party to stop asking questions about birth certificates while I'm on the camera?" the Republican said at a campaign event in June. "God, what am I supposed to do?" The exchange was secretly taped, according to the Denver Post and local NBC affiliate 9NEWS.
Buck is already backtracking.
"The language is inappropriate," Buck told 9NEWS and the Post. "After 16 months on the campaign trail, I was tired and frustrated that I can't get that message through that we are going to go off a cliff if we don't start dealing with this debt."
Buck, a county district attorney, has received endorsements from several powerful elements within the tea party, including South Carolina Sen. Jim DeMint, FreedomWorks' PAC and various "9/12" groups — founded in honor of the Glenn Beck-sponsored 2009 protest in Washington.

Stinky Comment about media bias that changes this from a fun story to serious:
Notice that they fail to mention right at the start that this guy is a repubican, but right after they identify him, the word "Democratic" pops up. The word "Republican" doesn't appear until the second paragraph, which fewer people will read than the headline or first paragraph. I am CONVINCED this is intentional and intended to mislead.
