. >> now, we had jane fonda, gloria steinem calling for the fcc to intervene here. >> yeah.t one of those things that shows that the anti-rush rhetoric continues to build. the momentum continues to build. we had hillary clinton making a statement about what she calls a kind of global attacks on women, contextualizing limbaugh without mentioning his name. within the global picture that she looks at as secretary of state, is it your sense -- what is your sense about where we are in the curve of this story? is this still -- >> well, i think that because the story has its own momentum and because it doesn't seem like it's going to abate, that's why i think that calls -- i think calls for fcc action are really misguided for a number of reasons, as much as i admire gloria steinem. but for one thing, i don't think that the feminist movement should be aligning itself with censorship. and beyond that, it just seems like a really bad move at this point to turn rush limbaugh into a free-speech martyr when, you know, the free market that he loves so much is doing a really good job of ta

women like gloria steinem, who earned our respect by bringing women's equality into the mainstream, or rosa parks, who refused to give up her seat on a bus to a white woman. she became a powerful symbol of the civil rights movement. and don't forget candace let mayor, who lost her child to a drunk driver. she joined with other grieving mothers to create one of the most successful grass-roots efforts in american history, mothers against drunk driving. for those of you who did the morning sessions, you have taken a closer look at violence and health-care issues within the context of women around the globe. in the midst of gathering information and listening to some statistics, it is hard sometimes to remember the human aspect of these numbers, the personal stories and someone's word spread that is why for today i decided to tell you the will of my own story. i am one of those statistics. it is my hope by sharing some of my story that it will resonate with you and perhaps _ the simple fact that we are all individuals who have choices to make. each of us can make a choice to stand up and j

gloria steinem once named him an honorary woman. he's a man of courage, of conviction, and he was always standing up for justice. it didn't matter who it was and he accepted people as they were. my husband was a war veteran and he was a patriot and what he tried to do is make this country stand up to the ideals that he believed in with his whole heart. derrick thought the ideas fair play, equality, opportunity, those are things that should be shared. everybody should get a shot at the american dream. >> each night veteran talk host ed schultz and his guests debate and discuss the most important issues affecting americans. watch week nights at 8:00 eastern only on ms fb schls nbc place for politics. >>> the american soldier accused of killing 16 afghan civilians could face execution if convicted. he will be tried under the u.s. military legal code. that code does allow for the death penalty in some cases. the soldier's name has not been released. we know he is a 38-year-old staff sergeant who was serving in afghanistan after three pr

you pointed out that on bill's show gloria steinem was silent about the vicious attacks against women and yet ann coulter took him on head-to-head. >> let me go through a broader context of liberal hate speech. i'm going to pick on nbc news because they have been so sacred of conservatives. i don't think -- i wonder why anybody in the media won't and them if they are proud of their brand considering this represents their news brand. let's are roll the tape. >> to hell with the republicans, they are anti-americans. they are psycho talkers. they don't care! harry, you are [bleep]. you won't do it for the american people and shove the republicans into the ditch. sometimes i think they want obama to get shot. i do. i really think that there are conservative broadcasters in this country who would love to see obama taken out. they fear socialism, they fear marksism, they fear that the united states of america won't be the united states of america anymore. you damn right dick cheney's heart is a political football. we ought to rip it out and kick it around and stuff it back in him. i'm glad

family, but my husband was -- if he were here today, he would be standing up for sandra fluke, gloria steinem named him an honorary woman, because he was a feminist. that is the derrick bell i know. a man of courage, conviction, always standing up for justice, didn't matter who it was. he accepted people as they were. >> sarah palin called your deceased husband a racist. i need you to respond to that. >> outrageous, an outrage, there is no other thing to say about that. but you know, unfortunately some people will say anything, but what concerns me as much as that is just this drum beat of negativity that you get from hannity, rush limbaugh, and even bill o'reilly. where are the good people who will speak up on the right side, you know? there should be moderate right people or moderate republicans who speak up and say this is not right. >> what they are saying about your husband is totally false. >> yes, it is. >> here is bill o'reilly, speaking of him. >> would it be fair for me to say professor bell is -- >> wait. >> investigation says he doesn't like white people. >> did he ever say that,

i think that the gloria steinem and martin luther king in the 60's might have been the last generation as we are seeing with occupy wall street but there isn't one leader that those e terrorist de medish as a populist movement. >> i think we should now turn to our long-suffering audience. >> i have one joke to tell before we get to the question. i did a book on the stevenson's family and there is a lot of room adamle stevenson in the second movement. he always said when it's night and you are talking to a group and you come to the end of what you are going to say, say finally to give them some hope. [laughter] so here, get your hands up, i saw some hands. >> first all i am so grateful for you writing this book because i was at a screening of a documentary of margaret sanger in the past six months. i'm not sure if you are aware of it, but she used the word situated as a very important thing and it was a film that really emphasized the eugenics and a negative light and i was upset about this and people kind of -- my question to you as you mentioned that her relationship. i would really l

[applause] to the estimates before giving it the best part of every question. let's hear what questions. >> [inaudible] >> there we go. [laughter] >> first want to thank y

gloria steinem, 20 years ago, wrote this article called "revaluing economics." and she talked about the two invisible resources that everything else is built upon, our care work, or the work that it takes to raise families, and the earth, the planet's natural resources. and those two things have been unprotected, undervalued, and invisibilized as the resources that make everything else possible. and we need to fundamentally revalue those elements of our society. including making care work more affordable for every american who needs it, making the actual hiring of childcare and long-term care, elder care workers more affordable for american families. and making sure that the workers who do that work are protected and can earn a living wage and support their own families. >> you both have been doing this a long time now, i know. and you're not even 40 yet. how did you get started as organizers? sarita? >> yeah, well, i -- you know, i came to this work really watching my parents, i would say. my family immigrated here. i immigrated when i was a baby to rochester,
