hate monger rush limbaugh is actually trying to martyr himself by alleging a media conspiracy to cover up the truth i'll take him on in just a moment and are a lobbyist spying for other countries turns out that some ex cia agents are now using their influence and their connections to work as lobbyists for foreign governments but is that wrong or does everybody do it well discuss the issue in a moment with jack rice a former cia agent. hungry for the full story we've got. the biggest issues get the human voice face to face with the news makers . well it seems that america is waiting patiently to see what shirley sherrod is going to do she's been offered a better job than what she had before and the white house has even admitted that they made a terrible mistake everybody seems to admit that this story was a mistake the white house even some people on fox news but one radio personality just simply refuses to admit what is so plainly true i mean don't get me wrong i'm not too shocked about this considering that rush limbaugh spews hate every single day on his program yesterday he claimed

>> you bust rush limbaugh. he learned there is a fourth amendment to the constitution. seriously, how do we do it? i am not sure. one of the things that i struggled with, in particular, in robert blake's case, when i got into the case, i was determined not to get caught up in the media and to be the same person at the end of the case as i was at the beginning. i think of lawyers need to be lawyers, not try to be entertainers. you would know better >> just so you know, i covered him while he was trying that case and desperately tried to get him to come to me during the case. i felt it was so important for the public to understand the constitutional issues that were coming up, but he rightly wanted to remain focused on the client and case at that time. so how do we educate the public while remaining true to the cause of the work? >> i was going to have a hard time controlling these guys. >> you have a panel of lawyers and you are telling them to shut up, and you are not even wearing a black robe. [laughter] by the way, putting a black robe on a suit does not give you a go

absolutely proud to have rush limbaugh as my friend. i listened to him every day on the radio. i have called him a couple of times. i also like mark mcgran out there, telling it like it is. the liberals said they are tolerant and that they like other people's ideas even though they disagree. there is a move to get rid of talk radio. they will not succeed. too many people are furious at november. harry reid, you had better start looking for another job. thank you, ma'am. host: in the denver senate race there are charges of plagiarism on behalf of the leading candidate in the republican gubernatorial nomination over allegations that he plagiarized articles for which he was paid $300,000. stephanie simon writes this morning, this is "the wall street journal," "he was not widely expected to cruise through the republican nomination, also showing him leading the republican nomination against the democrats in november. but articles on water policy that he had represented as original material, it was taken from other source material without proper attribution." talking about president

. >> reporter: and rush limbaugh has called liberal cal policies a form of reparation. senate candidate, george allen, calling an indian man this name. >> macaca or whatever he is. >> reporter: aeroduring the health care debate. >> have been called the "n" word. have been spat on. >> reporter: and racist signs, held aloft during tear party ral mrips post-racial, has turned out to be anything but. for "good morning america," dan harris, abc news. >>> to debate all this fallout, andrew bright, the publisher. eric boller, senior fellow with the watchdog group, matters for america. you're on different sides. andrew, let me begin with you. after seeing the whole tape, the white house calls secretary tom vilsack. he's reconsidering this firing. any second thoughts for you? >> i have no second thoughts regarding the course that vilsack took. i have no idea why a video that was posted to draw attention between the conflict of the tea party and -- the tea party and the democratic party, are trying to attack -- >> let me stop you there. your original column said that the video la

i lifted rush limbaugh all of the chair. >> jimmy: right, because he's fat and you lifted him out of. facebook has reached an impressive milestone. facebook announced yesterday that it now has 500 million users. which breaks the record previously held by heroin. only facebook is more addictive. they say the average facebook user spends more than five hours a week on it, which is -- kind of like having a part time job that pains you in pictures of your neighbor's sisters babies. five hours a week is a lot. i'm surprised by that, because every time i ask anyone that works here about it, they tell me they're barely ever on it. just check in, right? five hours a week works out to almost two years of your life, but it's well worth it to find out a girl you vaguely remember from chemistry class in the tenth grade is now divorced and selling real estate. uncle frank, do you know about facebook? >> no. i don't know anything about it. >> jimmy: do you know where you can get a facebook? >> no. in the library. >> jimmy: yeah, but no -- yeah, can you get it in the library. have you ever touched

baggers who take over the republican party and if you don't agree with the tea baggers and the rush limbaughset perjuried. for a party that talks a lot about how the opposition resembles fascists they do a lot of purging. i would think he and sarah palin would be the leaders of the tea bagger party. rush said about the spill, the oil spill, the ocean will take care of this. >> larry: no, you're kidding. >> he did. that's what he said. he think it's natural. oil is natural. yeah, so is mercury. you don't put it on your cheerios. >> larry: okay. what about the ruling of the court the other day throwing out the chicago law about guns? you can have a gun in chicago. >> well, i mean, again, the republican party sometimes it seems they do nothing but think of new places where you can have a gun -- churches, bars, and arizona -- arizona -- my favorite state. should rename itself whiteyville. arizona, you know, guns in a bar, i can't even begin to formulate a comedic routine. it's too easy. >> larry: the second amendment, the right to bear -- >> it doesn't say anything about individuals. it's militia

. >> reporter: rush limbaugh has called liberal policies a form of reparation.oversies that paint conservatives as racists. senate candidate george allen calling an indian man this name -- >> macaca or whatever his name is. >> and more recently allegations of racial epithets hurled at black members of congress during the health care debate -- >> have been called the "n" word, have been spat on. >> reporter: and allegations of racist signs held aloft during tea party rallies. a presidency hailed by many as post-racial has turned out to be anything but. dan harris, abc news. >>> well, it seems one politician is keeping his mouth shut. rod blagojevich declared yesterday he won't testify in his own corruption trial. >> this coming from the man who said from the start that he would tell his side of the story. but why now the change of heart? barbara pinto has that story from chicago. >> reporter: for more than a year the embattled ex-governor promised to tell his story in court. >> i will fight. i will fight. i will fight. until i take my last breath. >> reporter: to

akin: this doesn't say rush limbaugh here. this says the "new york times." "new york times." not exactly a conservative newspaper, september 11, 2003, the headline is, bush administration today recommend the the most significant regulatory overhaul in the housing finance industry since the savings and loan crisis a decade ago. a in agency would be created in the treasury department to assume supervision of freddie mac and freddie mac going on. this is 2003. they saw it coming. this then resulted in republicans in the house passing a bill. what goes then? we sent it to the senate. what happened in the senate? you needed 60 votes to pass it? and what happened? the democrats killed this in the senate, just like they killed the energy bill in the senate that was designed to help us with gas prices. justs as you know, gentlemen, to reduce health care costs. they killed the society the health plans time after time here on the floor to allow small businesses to pool their employees to get a better price. we were accused of doing nothing. we didn't do nothing. we sent a lot of legisl

they have rush limbaugh. i'm really and truly getting out of the party. i just don't understand them except for the fact that they defend corporations, and corporations are just ripping us terribly. i'm really tired of it. and i don't see everything these people are talking about except for the fact that our country, our jobs have gone overseas. and it was supposed to stop and it hasn't stopped. host: thanks for your call. guest: one thing that we've seen over the last couple years is that republicans are really struggling with their own identity. and by the way, it will be important for the party to realize, i think that if they win in 2010 it's no -- it's no rubber stamp that rationized there agenda. in fact, it's going to be sort of a boomer rang effect from republicans. the last caller brought up a point about anger. that's, this anger he said isn't new. it's there's still anger out there. and al is absolutely right. the anger happened in 2006, it manifested itself in a democrat majority in congress. it happened in 2008. it manifested a clear rejectio

it was uttered by the true leader of the republican party, and that is my good friend, rush limbaugh, who for every day, five days a week, three or four hours a day, since that same message out to americans who are hooked on that show. he sends it out to them relentlessly and they remember it and they act on it. but they aren't the only ones who have acted on it. it's been the followers in the senate who have acted upon it. and it's been the followers here in the house of representatives on the other side of the aisle who have followed his leadership

if i had a dollar for every person in my life that basically said to me, i love rush limbaugh. i turned him on during the clinton years and realized i wasn't alone. other people thought like me. i think that's the phenomena. in part people are feeling like their country is being taken away from them in ways. they are also seeing, wait, politics is for me, too. i see these people who reflect my views. maybe i'll run for a local whatever or organized group. it's a good time. it's a good time. here in the front. >> my name is marr hy hamm. the economy and family are so linked, most are -- i went to a speech by patrick fagan who used to be here about how most income in this country, most wealth is generated by middle-sized companies that are family owned that ling between stable marriage, stable family life and prosperity as being another issue. it isn't just about the economy, it's the economy as fueled by the family. >> yeah, i think that increasingly people see, maybe young people see it better than others, that these things are linked. a dependence on government is often coming

we seem to be following glenn beck and rush limbaugh in this case. i do not know the particular familiarities of the case, but it just seems to be something i find repugnant, as we are trying to stoke the fears of white racism because we have a black president and it is really, really repugnant and abhorrent, what we republicans are doing. host: they initially said that the person resolved -- involved should resign at the naacp, but now that they have reviewed the full tape, smoking -- spoken to the speaker, "we believe that the organization that edited document did so with it the intention of deceiving millions of americans fear " vernon, tuscaloosa, alabama. -- americans." vernon, tuscaloosa, alabama. caller: every time that something like this happens, especially the talk shows in the mornings, they never, ever ever look for anything truthful. the first live that got everything started was the police in cambridge. when they found out they had lied about it, another word was not spoken about it. no. 2, this man from the tea party made up, made his

the helm has been marked by controversies including his criticism of and subsequent apologies to rush limbaugh and the committee spending money at a bondage themed nightclub to entertain donors. but his war remarks were a rare instance in which he articulated views that differed from the party line. most republican men's started the decision to start the war in afghanistan in 2001 and have backed troop increases there even as many democrats have cast doubts. mariposa, california, nancy, independent. good morning. caller: good morning. thank you for taking my call. host: what would you like to say today? caller: well, i want people to understand, i think you have to understand what's going on in afghanistan and the best way to do that is to get the two volume books of "far pavilions." the author of that book understood that country so thoroughly and the language and explained exactly where afghanistan stands. they don't want any foreigners in their country and they never have and they never will and their whole history is that way. they wouldn't let the brits in, wouldn't let the russians in. w

how many jobs has rush limbaugh or glenn beck created, other than maybe the drug industry? guest: i don't have much to say to that. the point being, i think, that pro-growth tax policies have been vindicated over 25 years, and after we cut taxes during the reagan administration, which had the longest, most successful period of growth in our history. host: florida, republican line. caller: good morning. i don't really have a problem with taxes going up. what i do have a problem with this tax is being spent on things that i have no control over. one side impact of that is that i tried to give as much to charity as i can, but if i am looking at a tax that is going to go to thousand dollars at the end of the tax year, that is money i cannot give to those charities. i would like to hear comments on how they're spending money. guest: i agree with you, that taxes go up and you up less money to spend in the ways that you want to spend it. taxes go up, you will have less to donate to charity and less to spend on other things, too. there are those who want to give to charity, or they
