welcome back to the big picture i'm sorry marvin coming up in this half hour as the heat from the media grilling of herman cain intensifies its nicotine addicted campaign manager and former coach brothers toady mark block has his own problems so the cain train ride to pennsylvania avenue just a two bit show of tricks and mirrors and in tonight's daily take i'll tell you why and how the republican party has to resort to voter manipulation in order to win election.

as herman cain stumbles through trying to deny allegations of sexual assault there's also another problem for his so-called presidential campaign this one centers around his campaign manager mark wotte we all know mark walk as the smoking man cain's latest campaign ad. from. mark block here. since january i've had the privilege of being the chief of staff to herman cain and the chief operating officer of the friends are tomorrow one. closer to the white house i really believe that herman cain will put united back in the united states of america and i don't believe i'm going to be we've run a campaign like nobody's ever seen but then america's never seen a candidate like. we need to get in because together we could do this and we could keep this country.

well only as a bloc case nicotine addicted political operative he's always been one of the dirtiest players in the game for more on the campaign troubles if there really is a campaign going on i'm joined by adel stamp washington d.c. bureau chief with alter net dell always great to have you here it's here or as herman cain might call me at the at the stand stand stand. i just totally ready. so so who is this guy mark what well there's three things you need to know about herman cain right is that you know he's employed by david koch pretty much since two thousand and five he seems to be a guy likes to pull a fast one get away with something and he's got a really really dirty campaign manager mark block has been sort of the fairies

figure in wisconsin politics since the early two thousand i mean he he got himself in trouble. paying fifteen thousand dollars fine banned from wisconsin politics banned from participating for some dirty pool he played in a two thousand and one judicial election and again for three years or three years he withstand a serious stuff and it is serious stuff and almost the moment that fan was out. he was employed by david kirk's merican for prosperity running and setting up the organization and. that would have been to help scott walker get oh yes he is the man behind the walker campaign sean duffy the new congressman congressman who was elected. a lot of the people the new people in the most constant state legislature who you know brought us the anti collective bargaining i mean this is mark bart but he also is involved in voter caging and so in

suppressing the man out minority vote yes well credible taxpayer subsidized macam the cain campaign while your so called can i call it so-called campaign because i don't believe he's right i think you are right i am exactly where you know i think that what herman cain i think it surprises them how well you started to do it. because i think herman cain's function was simply to sort of push the other candidates towards david cope's positions particularly on taxes and he's been succeeding in doing that and when you see what the other candidates have been pushing further toward a flat tax but in terms of the tax payer issue what you have is more black control these non-profits i don't want to see three nine profits which are barred by federal tax code and election code from participating in elections are not just your duties as opposed to super pacs right and we find that this prosperity usa.

three controlled by mark block was paying the campaign expenses of the herman cain campaign and this guy does not like to travel cheap i mean he's leasing private jets for his travel to various events yes and they even came up with one hundred grand to give to the congress of racial equality who surprised then invited herman cain to be their speaker at their word sterner that's rather tragic what would happen if mark clark were to pull loads. pushed out of there herman cain camp well this is going to be really interesting to see i mean i personally think he probably could have his campaign could have survived the primary season with just the sexual harassment allegations even if they do explode because you know it really running for proces not really running for president and it feeds that sort of right wing narrative about you know everybody's picking on me but without mark

block there is no herman cain campaign mark block is the herman cain campaign there are no staffers to speak there are like a couple of other people from the americans for prosperity wisconsin chapter and that's it he's got basically a few people to currys luggage. and to book those private jets that's why i don't think he's running for president because there is no ground game there are no you know there's no campaign structure or strategy anywhere this is a guy who spent the better part of the last decade making a living as an inspirational speaker and as an author and this kind of publicity catapults here from the five thousand dollars a whack speaking of fifty thousand dollars which is quite right and this is the this is the herman cain retirement program and he was born forty five i believe you know eligible or so you do in the running for fox news i would say yeah which is you know million bucks a year yes you know if you're any good at it if you're well served to it and yeah.

yeah sean hannity two hundred radio do you think the media is playing or actually why is the media playing into this cain narrative as if he why do they keep pretending he's a real camera you know media like like like things that are new and bright and shiny and unexpected i mean we talked about this before with the tea party movement you and i where you know sort of it was a repackaging of a new movement that's been around for forever but it looked bright and shiny and new and i think you have the same. sort of thing about pain and it's sort of a town or into it if idea for you know the block conservative who has a message that is counter to that of liberal african-americans and you have it just it's just that he came out of nowhere and he's funny we are is funny and easy a snappy one is it stays as it is with it so that's not

a love indeed joe thank you so much for dropping by great to see your very takes for having me back we're learning a lot about the republican field and it's kind of a sad commentary on the republican field herman cain frankly not actually running for president he's running for an increase in the speaking fees as books as a donor we're just talking about newt gingrich he's not running for president he's running for an increase in speaking fees to sell more books and that's why he's got this tiffany jones he's got a payoff is what is it worth what we'll see first was high school teacher of cancer in a case i was struck on there's michele bachmann she's just back on oh crazy she might be thinking that she's running for president but there's no possibility santorum he's got a frothy guy but not a chance really i'm not even sure what he's running for jon huntsman he could be conceivably i mean here's a guy who's actually

a serious and reasonable republican therefore reasonable and serious unavailable republican base plus he worked for obama and you know a scam. mitt romney is in the middest protection program here's the urban dictionary definition of the as protection program an unannounced deliberate strategy in a presidential campaign notably that of republican candidate mitt romney to stay in the background raising money and seeking endorsements all of voiding engagement with the voters so he's the reason the mystery. as protection program because the republican party has basically gone nuts it's been taken over by eccentric billionaires in iran true believers and the media plays along with it instead of seriously discussing the issues you know the bottom line here it's time to get billionaire and corporate money out of politics we need to end the insanity of all this stuff we need to amend the constitution to say corporations are people

money isn't speech get it out go to move to amend or and sign up. just. as the good of a very very. ugly good andy douglas one week to go until ohio voters determine the fate of the radical anti-union bill s.b. five former ohio supreme court justice andy douglas is weighing in on the matter saying that s.b. five returns ohio back to the dark days before collective barker and his city in its safety forces had a dispute concerning wages working conditions and adequate staffing there was no way to resolve the dispute that is why we passed the collective bargaining on the law has worked there have been no safety forces work stoppages in ohio since the

law was passed it would be tragic for our communities to return to those dark days that is when senate bill five if it becomes law are due. to pollute protect our citizens and our police officers and firefighters senate bill five must be rejected joining us cordon early polls it looks like senate bill five will be rejected let's hope anti-union republicans get the message that working people are fed up with having their rights taken away from. the bad crowd elisa writes we can add the former secretary of state to the list of bush officials who are trying to rewrite history and claim credit for president obama's foreign policy accomplishments in an interview with usa today and in reference to the arab spring rice said that changing the conversation about the middle east where people now routinely talk about democratization is something that i'm very grateful for and i think we as in the bush administration had a role in that actually the bush administration played

a role in starting to brutal and long lasting wars in iraq and afghanistan to. places in the middle east where people are still killing each other and not trying to build their own democracies president obama proved when he went to cairo and gave his tear down these dictators each foreign policy objectives are best achieved with out military invasion so if there's one thing we can thank the bush and congolese or rice administration for is for showing us what not to do in the middle east and the very very ugly you loudon county republican party for some reason these virginia republicans figured it'd be a good idea to get in the holiday spirit by sending out an e-mail yesterday depicting president obama as this is a complete with part of his skull missing and a polar hole right through his head as an added bonus an image of house minority leader nancy pelosi to looks like she has one eye bolt you know. that's right president united states shot through the head of the republican party official mass

email the winner of that went out a week before a local state election. virtually every single republican has condemned the loudon county digital mailing the republican party of virginia calling it a disgusting image when you've gone so low that even the rest of the republican party can agree that it's disgusting then you know you've done something very very . crazy alert breaking and entering just got weird according to surveillance cameras a man in indianapolis broke into a children's daycare center last week to try and girls eighteen suits a man described as five foot seven with a long black bony tail stuck into the daycare center and into typical goalie locks of the three bears fashion began trying on bikini's something large something small

until he finally found one that fit in just right. after about ten minutes the man settled on a skimpy pink two piece shortly after he jumped over the car set off the motion detector and quickly changed back into his street clothes and fled the scene before cops arrived employees at the daycare center do not believe any was stolen though they wish all the locks that they can be used bikini's with him coming up in tonight's daily take how a game of words is given republicans election after election but at the same time ruined a tradition of thoughtful political discourse and. drives the world the fear mongering used by politicians who makes decisions to break through get through to people who made who can you trust no one who is in view with a global mission to read see where we had a state controlled capitalism is called sasha's when nobody dares to

ask we do our tea question more. for. your own sake my take is the segment of the show when we answer your questions comments criticisms opinions right here on the big picture our first series of comments are from the thom hartmann facebook page as we could told you about

a leaflet that had been dropped on occupy chicago protesters by the one percent at the chicago board of trade and i said that what will define the next step the one percent takes in the aftermath of the occupy wall street movement it's not the dollar amounts in their bank accounts but rather their patriotism. the banks their one percent in chicago had a little message they wanted to get out to the ninety nine percent movement camped out on the streets a lot so someone at the chicago board of trade or belief looks out the window to rain down on the demonstrators below the leaflets read we are wall street and it's our jobs to make money go ahead and continue to take us down but you're only going to hurt yourselves it's going to happen when we can't find jobs on the street anymore guess what we're going to take yards. as we all know today that's not a threat it's a promise wall street has never had a problem taking what's not there whether it was the trillions they took when the

economy blew up as a result of the housing bubble seen or the trillions more they took from the taxpayers when they demand a bailout wall street is churns other people's money and skims their vig off the top point is it's not about how much money you make that makes you the one percent from michael moore to warren buffett there are plenty of patriotic one percenters it's about whether or not you think it's the job of the rich to give back to the country that made you rich or if it's just a job of the rich and keep making more and more money. to make more money than they can spend in their lifetimes their children's lifetimes their grandchildren's lifetimes or their great grandchildren's lifetimes while the nation around them the church reigns it's not about your bank account it's about your patriotism the ninety nine percent movement is the most patriotic thing happening in america let's just hope our caught our politicians catch on soon now the message of home with many of you fred wrote the true face of an elitist mentality and on our facebook

page gary opposed to well if the wall streeters take away teaching jobs from teachers and we won't have to worry about kids bullying classmates the wall streeters will be shaking down the children for their lunch money and bonnie said patriotism the last refuge of the scoundrel they don't get it because they already got it and they intend to keep it maybe the me there leaflets blow right back up their butts nice way to spend your money guys. you know what f.d.r. said about the group he called economic royalists he refers to them in this clip as the overprivileged. term the very aptly applies to the modern one percent today. the. economic arroyo. some claim of. the pro the institutions of america. what they really claim. is that we seek to take away

oh oh really it's. a relief because so american is. required. they overthrow. him in favor. they speak but they find the play and the constitution but in their blindness facebook. what the flag on the constitution stands for. no as oh it's all the centurion to her. the constitution fend against

a dictatorship rule and feel the privileges i like. and the overprivileged alike all men f.d.r. that's it for my take your take tonight if you like your comments and questions her here on the segment the big picture listen we want to know your to send us your comments by visiting the thom hartmann facebook page via twitter that underscore our fun or in the chat room on the message board you through the blog at tom hartman doug you can also leave a message on our rants line two two five three six fifty three zero six agree disagree sound off it's all welcome to remember that your comments may be used on the air. for progressives to be republicans they need to know how republicans talk luckily republicans occasionally let their lingo slip it back in one thousand nine hundred

eighty six when newt gingrich's gopac memo was leaked which instructed republicans on what specific words to use when talking about other republicans and conservative policies and which words to use when talking about democrats and progressive policies and memo reads language is listed as a key mechanism of control used by a majority party we believe that you could have a significant impact on your complaint and your campaign and the way you communicate if we helped a little that is why we have created this list of words and phrases when talking about republican panic campaigns newt gingrich wrote use these words commitment drene family freedom liberty passion prosperity strength vision success he wrote next time you watch a republican actually he didn't write that i did this time had a republican you watch it with you can't play it can't campaign at play a little drinking game with how often you hear these words he used

a game memo then lays out the words to be used when describing democratic campaigns words like bizarre bureaucracy coercion corruption devour in danger liberal pathetic shame taxes welfare these may seem like trivial words that don't have an effect when it comes to political messaging words are extremely important as right wing pollster frank luntz pointed out during the health care debate back in two thousand and nine. if you call it a public option the american people are split if you call it the government option the public is overwhelmingly against it you don't want that's a great point and i'm for now all couldn't call the government. so called news took the bait and executive bill sammon sent out an e-mail to his team of talking heads saying friendly reminder let's not slip back into calling it the public option please use the term government run health insurance or when gravity is a concern government option whenever possible like sheep the talking heads over box

so-called news obaid frank a lot some self is quite a wordsmith back in two thousand and six luntz wrote a memo for republicans identifying certain words they should never say and instead offering replacement words as once writes in his memo sometimes it is not what you say that matters but what you don't say from today forward you are the language police from today forward these are the words never to say again and here they are this is the republican game plan actually their never say government instead you know rule it out and say washington never say tax reform and tax simplification never say estate tax instead say death tax ever say capitalism instead say free market out of this is this is the republican me is to is to is to always go in that direction never say i'm documented workers instead say illegal aliens never

say drilling for oil instead say exploring for energy never say school choice and says equal opportunity in education and never say health care choice instead say the right to choose so again if there's very very systematic manipulation of language in the american political discourse this is the republican game plan laid out. and this is the only way they can win elections this and disenfranchising people keeping people from voting voter id laws and things like that but basically this by boiling down often complex issues where the right answer can only be found through rigorous debate and turning them into quick easy to remember catch phrases and buzz words let's eliminate the debate around how much people like paris hilton should pay a state taxes stead just call it a dreaded death tax let's eliminate the debate over how we should handle

undocumented immigrants and instead dehumanize them by calling them illegal aliens forget about debating the safety of deepwater oil drilling after the b.p. gulf disaster now oil companies are just exploring for energy. you know the sad thing much of this is worked and sure enough we've stopped having rational debate in this country emotional words are now used to grab people's attention and transform their minds and it's largely these little sound bites and commercials on t.v. replace the role of debate among the electorate president obama has boiled down to a socialist with little discussion of what a socialist really is i don't most americans know rich people are called job creators with little discussion about how jobs are really created new tax plans like nine nine nine or praised for their simplicity rather than either their

effectiveness or their just plain old flat out stupidity. i don't prefer political thinker alexis de tocqueville ventured to the united states in the early nineteenth century they'd hundred thirty four as i recall to observe firsthand what life is like in the new democratic nation he made this observation which he wrote his book i'm ocracy america the greatest of america lies not in being more of a light and than any other nation but rather in her ability to repair felt's throughout history our nation has repaired our falls through debate through an informed electorate making the right decisions but in a scorched earth bid to win elections republicans have destroyed that american tradition and replaced it with political manipulation and until we bring back real debate until the corporate media calls out republican talking points and you and i call people who throw phrases around like job creators illegal aliens and we

frankly won't be able to solve the complex problems facing our nation we're americans from start acting like americans and demanding that our politicians and most importantly our media treat us like the well informed citizenry that thomas jefferson. as the big picture for tonight for more information on the stories we've covered visit our website to tom hartman dot com free speech or an r t dot com you can also check out our two you tube channel there of them so retarded dot com entire show is also available for free video podcast on i tunes and we have a free time on our but i phone and i pad app store it also sends feedback a twitter account others who are on facebook tom underscore a blog message was told from comment line over the top. and no forget democracy begins with you get out there and get active tag your it occupies something to see that no.
