Joke telling obama impersonator was hired as entertainment. where s the leadership in the gop? where s the outrage? where s reince priebus? today we called to see if he would condemn the montana outhouse? we re still waiting for a response. joining me now is dana milbank political columnist for the washington post. he s written extently about the gop. where is the gop outraged over this inappropriate display in montana? i ve been saying for some time politics has gone down on the toilet in this country. now it s down the outhouse. i think they re not yet familiar with indoor plumbing, they re so backwards. the insult here is not such a thing exists. look, there are nut cases in either party. these sorts of things are going
Certificate for the president stabbed with the words b.s. there was also a vile joke about the first lady. this is a shameful display right outside where republicans were selecting delegates to the national convention to nominate mitt romney. it should be condemned by party leadership, but it hasn t been. the gop state chairman there called it quote, a sideshow. of course, this isn t the first we ve heard about republicans behaving badly. last year california republican committee member e-mailed a racist photo depicting president obama as a monkey. in 2010 the chairman of the virginia beach gop resigned after sending a racist e-mail about someone trying to get welfare for their black dog. and at last year s republican leadership conference, a racist

Now before the south carolina republican primary. and since last summer tim scott of south carolina has hosted each of the presidential candidates at town hall forums with the exception of ron paul. he s seen them up close and perm but hasn t endorsed anyone yet. instead, kept his focus on president obama. here is representative scott at the southern republican leadership conference yesterday. why aren t we upset about a president who does not believe in the american people but he believes in socialism? congressman tim scott joins me now. before i get to south carolina politics here, i really am curious if where you re coming down to, i know you re down to two or three candidates, only four left. it s the one guy yes. it s the one guy that didn t show up to one of your forums. that s a tough charge on the president. you don t think he believes in the american people, this is a philosophical difference about size of government but to take
That could really hurt his campaign, particularly when he has that really big lead in new hampshire. there was this western republican leadership conference. is herman cain the major kind of chink in the campaign strategy? herman cain is certainly doing very well. in our own nbc maris polls it showed herman cain leading. you could say it s herman cain or perhaps someone else. i m actually kind of looking at mitt romney has kind of hit a ceiling in these stating. his percentage is around 25, 26, 27%. he could win them all if somehow that conservative vote is split. but if the conservative vote
