Whaddya wanna bet the NRSC didn’t read that before they tweeted this?
Can you spell v-i-o-l-a-t-i-o-n? Maybe they were acting out because they were out-raised by the DSCC.
By the way,www.demsplanforamerica.com leads to a blank page.
Even Fox’s Andy Levy raised his eyebrows. If a ClusterFoxer thinks deception like this– or any kind– is a no-no, then you know something is amiss:

To see the entire CSPAN video of Reggie Brown’s routine, go here.
The Obama look-alike began his performance with a series of often racially tinged jokes about the president, but it wasn’t until he began going after some big-name Republicans, including several presidential candidates, that he was told his time was up.
Brown said organizers told him he would have 15 to 20 minutes to perform. But after 17 minutes and mid-way through a joke about newly declared presidential candidate Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann, his mic was cut and he was led off the stage.
RLC President and CEO Charlie Davis said the performance had gone too far and was getting inappropriate.
“Had I been in the room I would have pulled him sooner. We have zero tolerance for racially insensitive jokes. As soon as I realized what was going on I rushed backstage and had him pulled,” Davis told CNN.
But Brown has a slightly different version of events than Davis.
He claims he was “nicely escorted off the stage”, not “yanked”, because he ran over his allotted time, just like Ron Paul and “six or seven others throughout the course of the weekend.”
Though Paul delivered one of the lengthier speeches, and ended his remarks quite abruptly, he was not escorted from the stage by organizers.
Brown also said they might have been getting “uncomfortable” with where his “material was going.” But he does not think he went too far.
Yesterday we posted the entire CSPAN video of an Obama impersonator’s tasteless “jokes” told at the Republican Leadership Conference, at the expense of the president and others, including Republican presidential candidates.
Here is one welcome response from none other than Doug Heye…
A twenty-year veteran of political campaigns throughout the nation, Doug Heye most recently served as Communications Director for the Republican National Committee. Heye has also served as a press secretary and communications director in the United States Senate, House of Representatives and the Executive Branch.
Hey, even the right can be right… once in a blue moon.

We’re trying to get more video. This is only a snippet.
WaPo has more, but here are two additional excerpts:
• Of Tim Pawlenty’s decision not to criticize Mitt Romney at Monday’s debate: “]CNN’s] John King served him up a ball softer than Barney Frank’s backside.” (Frank is a gay member of Congress from Massachusetts.)
• Of Newt Gingrich’s approval ratings: Dropping “faster than Anthony Weiner’s pants in an AOL chat room.” [...]
Eventually, Brown was ushered offstage by the man who introduced him.
