he didn't condemn what ted nugent or rush limbaugh said. when you have a right-wing radio host mocking you for not standing up to him, we have really reached a new place, haven't we? >> yeah, and politically this is great for the democrats because moderates and independents see right through this, and they get disgusted when somebody doesn't show leadership and condemn this stuff. but the few crack pots who are out there -- if you are congressman allen west who claim the 78% of congress are communist. there is a crack pot who has easy access to guns because of these stupid republicans who get ahold of a gun, and then we have the gabby gifford situation. and that's why i think it is so dangerous. you have to call this stuff out when it is said. you have to send a message to all of the crazies out there who hear mitt romney and say oh, my god, mitt romney agrees that the president should be charged with treason, and what do we do with those people we shoot them? >> in dallas there were posters t up for calling out jfk for treason. >> yeah. >>

you think about someone like ted nugent who romney actually -- these are serious questions and romney at some point if he is going to have the character to lead this country, he's going to have to say this is not acceptable and it's not what i'm about. so far he has not done that. >> jonathan capehart, absolutely no prize in what donald trump said today. this is what he loves to talk about. they know that he has race-based analysis and demands, that he issues about president obama's birth certificate and president obama's transcripts, president obama's law school grades, he doesn't believe there's anything legitimate that president obama has learned in his lifetime and the campaign knows he's going to say this. they cannot have entered into this honeymoon with donald trump without full knowledge. >> but lawrence, on a night like tonight, a night when governor romney has clinched the republican nomination by winning the texas primary to get the 1,144 delegates that he needs to become the republican nominee. on the night that this happens, we're now mixed up in the birther nonsense, whi

he did not stand up to ted nugent when we know the kind of language ted nugent referred to the president with and has not stood up to donald trump. armstrong is wrong. for him to say i believe that the president was born in the united states he needs a much stronger statement. he needs to say i disavow this and i disavow his tactics. if he can't stand up for what is right for the republican party and in terms of basic decency how will he stand up for the united states? >> and newt gingrich has spoken up on the birther conversation. >> far be it for me to suggest to the donald what he should do. he's a loose entrepreneur. he has made his fame by being who he is. governor romney is not distracted. the republican party is not distracted. we believe that this is an american born job killing president. >> there is newt's way to disavow all of this but letting it play out kind of laughing at it. mitt romney released his birth certificate on tuesday. does the timing of this release add more fuel to the fire or are they getting it out of the way while trump is holding the political bull horn? >>
