there's no feud with limbaugh. i don't talk to limbaugh.at all, of course. and for the rest of the interview o'reilly argued with laura ingraham about bible thumping. here is where i find myself completely comfortably in full agreement with mr. bill o'reilly. >> why did you use the word thump? why did you use the word thump? >> that's the way you get it across. there are bible thumpers, all they do is say i object to gay marriage because god objects to it. you don't win a policy debate in america with that. >> bill o'reilly is of course completely right, and yes, fox news you can use that clip in your promos. you can base anything you want on something you think is in the bible, but you are very unlikely to win a political argument using the bible in america, o'reilly is right about that. that's all o'reilly was trying to say. by saying it, he created a real rift in the republican party, rush limbaugh, laura ingraham and many others think he never should have said that. but charles kraut hammer came on his show and took bill's side. >> i th

far right conservatism has become a cult and rush limbaugh its leader by definition a cult is a group or sect bound together by adoration of the same thing person ideal whatever a cult promises you redemption it tells you that if you do it it says and as it believes you will be protected from the evil people who are out there to get you and the rest of society. occult purges the nonbelievers and actively tries to vilify all those who are not part of the cult saying that they're doomed to dust and go to hell or some variation there so how did limbaugh at least according to frank luntz become the leader of such a large and influential cult like with any cult power limbaugh has or is flock has grown over time right wing radio started out in conflict with mainstream society outside of mainstream politics and what was once a little cult guided by limbaugh has transformed into a massive call that today has envelop much of the so-called conservative movement so how did this transformation occur well like cult leaders do limbaugh offered up a theatrical flair and a company that was marketing

bill o'reilly and rush limbaugh.ir feud shows just how divided the gop is on issue after issue. they're not on the same page. it's the case on gay marriage. >> the compelling argument is on the side of homosexuals. >> mm-hmm. >> that's where the compelling argument is. we're americans. we just want to be treated like everybody else. and the other side hasn't been able to do anything but thump the bible. >> you were -- you were sort of marginalized on the factor as not having a compelling argument and just being a bunch of bible thumpers. >> wow. seems like limbaugh took o'reilly's comments personally. it's the same thing on gun control. >> there has to be some kind of middle ground. does anybody need an ar-15? do we need that? >> it is a compelling argument. right, mr. limbaugh? >> blaming guns for murder is like blaming forks for obesity. >> huh? well, maybe they'll be on the same page when it comes to immigration. >> there's got to be some kind of policy that's fair and doesn't punish innocent people whose parents

but not when it comes to rush limbaugh. not until now. reportedly mr. is on tape speaking to college students. at one point he was asked about political polarization and he replied that he had something to say on this matter but was apprehensive doing openly, doing so could land him in trouble. the tape could not be independently confirmed by nbc news, but we believe it to be luntz's voice. he didn't know it, but one student was recording as he slammed conservative talk radio. >> great ratings and they drive the message and it's really problematic. and this is not on the democratic side. it's only on the republican side. they've got every other source of news on their side and so that is a way to driving it. >> talk radio is, quote, problematic to the party. again, let's remember, he would only say this mind closed doors. and then he revealed the names. >> marco rubio's getting his [ bleep ] kicked. who's my rubio fan here? we talked about it. he's getting destroyed. trying to find a legitimate, long-term effective solution to immigration that isn't the

i have never talked to limbaugh. never said anything about limbaugh. >> i'm talking about the feud about the issue. the issue. >> bill: no feud on my part. i don't care what he says. he can say whatever he finish. >> bill: no, no. no and thump the bible. >> okay. >> bill: thump the bible. i will give you your time. you just keep it. >> i adore you. i'm just trying to make pint. >> bill: i will let you make the point. >> i haven't said anything yet. go ahead. >> bill: the thump the bible deal was purely a policy play. go. >> i don't think you need to use the word "thump the bible." i think this debate about marriage, you have to do more than thump the bible. okay. bill, i think this debate about marriage is a relatively recent one. supreme court justices both appointed by republicans and democrats made that comment during the prop 8 hearings last week, right? the people for traditional marriage, this is new to them. i think you are right, they haven't been very good at pr. they haven't been very good sometimes at maki

particularly rush limbaugh.t is a fact of life they are afraid of him, that he'll call them out on their radio show. there's a belief he has 20 million listeners. the irony is he has power without having the interest of the republican party at heart. what rush limbaugh is doing, for entertainment and for money, is to get ratings. he has no interest in necessarily the republican party succeeding and yet republican politicians feel absolutely beholden to him. >> it's incredible. dana, mr. luntz was surreptitiously recorded while giving a talk to college students in philadelphia. here's what we said about marco rubio and lurush limbaugh. take a listen to this. >> if you take marco rubio's getting his -- kicked. who's my rubio fan here? we talked about it. he's getting destroyed by mark levin and by rush limbaugh and a few others. >> what's the right wing radio's fear's response to that been like? >> it's been savage from the very beginning, and poor marco rubio's been going twice now, at least, before on rush limba

>> there's no feud between me and limbaugh, i don't talk to limbaugh, i've never said anything aboutimbaugh on this program. >> i'm talking about the feud about the issue. >> can we -- >> don't you miss the paternalism of bill o'reilly. >> you and i both had great days with bill o'reilly. >> this is a growing pains for the right. it's an important conversation, and it's time for them to have. >> i've been working on this issue from the center right for a long time. there's no -- people like to say there's a civil war in the gop. you know, people in the gop, they know there's no civil war. the truth is, this is way more of a generational issue than it is a partisan issue. you take 52% of republicans under the age of 50 are in favor of same sex marriage. this is more generational -- day by day, they're dropping one by one. we had rob portman, perhaps susan collins who seems to be thinking about this as well. that's reflective of the direction the country is going. people are thinking about the issue. they're not thinking of marriage as a religious issue, but a civil issue. civil marria

here's the problem with rush limbaugh and his types.ow what empathy is. >> jimmy, you anticipated me as always. you're a bright fellow. i'm going to come to him in a moment. da dana, is there any legitimate reason for conservatives to fear the first lady? it seems to me she's becoming increasingly formidable, and you can see them quaking at the knees when she stands up. >> well, martin, she's been part of a, i think, a very strong effort the last week or so by the administration, by these gun control advocates to really put personal faces on this. i was just on the hill today with the families of the dead from newtown. they really turned things around up there on the hill. and i think people have started to realize that they need to bring all assets to bear in this battle. and that's part of what michelle obama has been doing. so i don't believe republicans fear her, in particular, over others, but i think everybody is now going to be making this a central issue and putting real faces on this gun debate. that's why you see at least temp

i think this is ramped up and what make this is so poignant and emotional, unlike what rush limbaughnnection to hadiya. it's a real, palpable connection. >> that's what i question because obviously i've met with her and talked with her a lot over the last few years. i'm not sure that she is stepping out of her more laid back role in terms of being expansive but she wasn't as much policy driven as much as it really touched her personally what happened to hadiya in here home town, what happened in newtown, and maybe she says, i feel personally about this, i'm going to do this. >> i think you're right. when you just think about the fact that this is a girl that grew up very similarly to the way michelle grew up and she says it in a speech and i cried when i heard her say that the difference between her and hadiya is that she got to grow up. it's so random the acts of violence, these senseless gun violence. i think as a mother, as a human being, as a feeling person, a mother of two daughters that she wants to see grow up -- >> and that is key because i think some things are not politics.

rush limbaugh warned you about this. second term, baby!reporter: on the night where washington and hollywood collide -- >> how are you doing? >> reporter: president obama didn't hold back. >> these days, i look in the miles an hour and i have to

let's take a look at what rush limbaugh said. i find this pretty offensive. let's watch. >> it was the president who asked for this mother of a 6-year-old who died to do his speech. senator richard blumenthal, democrat, connecticut, is using sandy hook to raise money in his e-mails. they're trying to turn the newtown parents into a dozen cindy sheehans in a way. and it's what the democrats do, folks. they always try to hide their agendas behind women and children and most of all, victims. and so the newtown parents are human shields, in a sense. the newtown parents are out there to protect the democrats from any criticism and to shut it down. >> i like the way he does this. didn't you notice as a woman, he's assuming that men are putting you people up? >> oh, i know. >> you don't look put up to me. >> and i mean, certainly with these families, this is what they want to do. they talk about wanting to be in this conversation to carry on the legacies of their dead 6 and 7-year-olds who they'll never see again. >> nobody put cindy sheehan up to anything. cindy sh

>> there's no feud between me and limbaugh. i don't talk to limbaugh.ver said anything about a limbaugh on this program. >> no feud? okay, bill, but you're right on this one. >> when you say you can't cite the bible, well, again, i think that's disrespectful to people who really try to live their lies and -- >> it's not disrespectful. in their private life they can. >> why are you yelling at me. >> don't you understand the dins betwe difference between private life and public life. >> i guess i'm not well-educated. >> who will be voted off the gop island? joining me now is joe madison and williams. what does this reveal? >> cannibalism. >> i hope you mean political cannibcan any bill and they are trying to now be the voice. you know, i never thought i'd defend bill o'reilly but he's absolutely right. the argument before the united states supreme court, the bible was not mentioned once. >> right. >> it was about the constitutionality of the argument. this is political cannibalism. that's exactly what it is. >> jimmy, how do you view it? >> i wouldn't go

i don't think it's a coincidence that rush limbaugh and these guys are gearing their messages to gin up the fury, they just try to keep their own subculture angry enough to sell books, to sell advertising on their tv shows and to keep their own people in the mix. >> jonathan, i don't know whether rush limbaugh or any of them, if they are racist or not. i think that they play a race card and then to a racial atmosphere, as frank said, that is very dangerous and is certainly something -- it's one thing to deal with eaches that we have to deal with of challenges for equal rights and challenging to make things better but to play any of these stereotypes and to play into these things that only reinforce the worst in the court just for, as frank suggested, for other reasons, i think it's something that is no question in my mind irresponsible at the best case scenario. >> certainly it is irresponsible because it's playing on fear. we were talking about a group of people who are fearful. they are fearful of this president. they are fearful that the court is getting away from them. they are f

rush limbaugh made this ridiculous claim, joan. hold on to your seat. about the boston suspect and trayvon martin. >> the news media are doing to dzhokhar what they did to trayvon martin. they're regularly showing a photo of dzhokhar that was taken when he was about 14. soft. angelic. nice little boy. harmless. >> now, aside from the fact that i could deal with the merits of what they did to jdzhokhar, as e calls them, or not, how do you compare man under indictment for weapons of mass destruction, for a terrorist attack at boston, with a young man that was killed in sanford, florida? how do you even connect that he's -- that trayvon martin was anything other than the victim and whether or not whatever happens in his case, he's certainly not accused anywhere near of a crime, let alone what dzhokhar is standing accused of. >> right. one is accused of murdering people and terrorism. the other is a crime victim. this is what they tried to do to trayvon. there's a whole parallel universe on the right that was dedicated to -- to tarnishing his image and maki

rush limbaugh warned you about this, second term, baby.e're changing things around here a little bit. actually my advisers were a little worried about the new rap entrance music. they are a little more traditional. they suggested that i should start with jokes at my own expense, just take myself down a peg. i was like, guys after four and a half years, how many pegs are there left? i want to thank the white house correspondents, ed, you're doing an outstanding job -- [ applause ] >> we are grateful for the great work you've done and to all the dignitaries who are here, everybody on the -- i want to say thanks to ray who does outstanding service and all of our men and women in uniform every single day. and of course, our extraordinary first lady, michelle obama. [ applause ] >> everybody loves michelle. she's on the cover of "vogue" high poll numbers but don't worry, i got my own magazine cover. look, i get it. these days i look in the mirror and have to admit, i'm not the strapping young muslim socialist that i used to be. time passes and

now the response from rush limbaugh. in reaction to a caller who said president obama inspired a racist attack from that pastor. >> that's an interesting take that the president inspires it, inspires racism. it may well be the case. so obama's presence inspires this guy to go all divisive, all racist and start jamming on the republicans for wanting blacks in the back of the bus and women back in the kitchen. when he can't name a single person who does. but the president of the united states, you may be right, may have inspired that in this preacher. >> actually, rushbo, racism is the belief that one race, whites, should rule all others. get your definitions straight. >>> next, there's, of course, no evidence sharia law is infiltrating the state of florida, but lawmakers are pushing a bill that would prevent islamic law from finding its way into american courtrooms. hayes suggest we think of it as a vaccine. >> did your parents have you vaccinated against different diseases? >> yes, sir. >> that was a preemptive gesture o

limbaugh and o'reilly hate each other.ver acknowledge each other's existence, never mention each other's names ever. until today when rush just couldn't take o'reilly's rewriting himself on marriage equality. today, another republican broke with the limbaugh line on marriage equality, illinois republican mark kirk became the 50th u.s. senator to support marriage equality, the second republican senator to do so. republican ohio senator rob portman announced his support last month. senator kirk who had a debilitating stroke last year released this statement on his blog. when i climbed the capital steps in january, i promised myself i would return to the senate with an open mind and greater respect for others. same sex couples should have the right to civil marriage. our time on this earth is limited. i know that better than most. life comes down to who you love and who loves you back. government has no place in the middle. democratic senator tom carper of delaware also endorsed marriage equality today. >>> coming up, what ha

of people on college campuses that came to her defense because she was one attacked by crazy rush limbaughen you can go on a campus, you can't hear what he said because it's all bleeped. he actually has invited to do a performance for the students. there is a double standard there. >> bob: rush, he talks to 20 million people when he does that i'm about to get myself in a deep hole here. he was losing advertisers. >> dana: but overall, why doesn't anyone ever talk about and take on the language and attitudes that are described in rap music. >> greg: it's racism of low expectations. no one wants to express disgust of the quality or the content found in a lot of music because they don't want to be perceived as uncool but they don't want to be perceived as bigoted. there are certain deny denigrating elements that is perceived as part of a culture. because they are part of a culture you can't point them out that way. this is where the first lady really has potential to come in and say, a lot of this stuff is bad. the one that drives me crazy there is a morality that needs to be addressed. the f

n nia-malika, let me play you something from rush limbaugh. he said this about immigration today.he democrat version of this happens, it's going to be amnesty, and if that happens, it won't matter. the republican party's finished anyway. whether it's official or not. they're never going to win another election. >> nia-malika, it doesn't sound like rush limbaugh expects the gop to win over many hispanic voters any time soon, does it? >> that's right. he's obviously looking at history here in some ways. romney didn't do too well. he got 23%, 24%, 25% down from the historic highs we saw george bush reach. you have a situation where rubio on one hand is trying to persuade conservatives, persuade people like rush limbaugh, but he's also reaching out to immigration folks, pro-immigration folks. i talked to a latino pollster. he said the best thing that rubio can do is to keep seeming like he's a leader on this issue. on the other hand, i talked to a conservative iowa tea party guy. he said the best thing rubio can do is to kill immigration. so those are the sort of two warring factions

or drawing rush limbaugh. >> the lra's much, much easier, right? >> yeah. [laughter] >> i don't know how we're doing on time. should -- maybe a couple more questions? so are there any more questions? yes. >> [inaudible] >> i'm wondering about the use of the word "novel" to describe this. >> i'm sorry, could you start from the beginning? your mic -- >> oh, i just was curious wondering about the use of the word "novel" to describe what you're doing. >> why did you use the word "novel"? that's just the industry term. >> which seems like fiction. >> yeah, i know. that's the industry term. graphic novel, a fat comic book. >> does that take away from the gravity of the subject? >> maybe. >> that was my first question. [laughter] >> well, some people think so, but -- >> [inaudible] >> it doesn't both err me. -- bother me. >> it's a relatively new term that i guess bothers some people. but graphic novel, again, it just sounds better than comic book. that's where the argument stands right now. people have heated arguments about that. i can't spend our time

let's take a look at what rush limbaugh said. i find this pretty offensive. let's watch. >> it was the president who asked for this mother of a 6-year-old who died to do his speech. senator richard blumenthal, democrat, connecticut, is using sandy hook to raise money in his e-mails. they're trying to turn the newtown parents into a dozen cindy sheehans in a way. and it's what the democrats do, folks. they always try to hide their agendas behind women and children and most of all, victims. and so the newtown parents are human shields, in a sense. the newtown parents are out there to protect the democrats from any criticism and to shut it down. >> i like the way he does this. didn't you notice as a woman, he's assuming that men are putting you people up? >> oh, i know. >> you don't look put up to me. >> and i mean, certainly with these families, this is what they want to do. they talk about wanting to be in this conversation to carry on the legacies of their dead 6 and 7-year-olds who they'll never see again. >> nobody put cindy sheehan up to anything. >> peopl

rush limbouses this for porn.rushrush limbaugh by the way uses this for porn because you may have toth fox likes this in your family or your job it's worth looking into. they did have gun licensing in germany before hitler took power. after germany was defeated they passed a law that panned private ownership of firearms and germany's left center government did confiscate guns. in 1938 the nazi government almost deregulated the transfer of shotguns. permits were extended from one year to three almost and age of purchase was lower from 20 to 18, and they dropped the limits of firearms one could own. that's right hitler was anti-gun control. he did ban guns for some people--germany's views. they could not advantage of his relaxed gun laws. does that sound anything look like background checks for criminals or ban on high capacity ammo clips while duck hunting? right wing media is not going to tell though. they want their followers to believe that hitler was a liberal because he belonged to a national socialist party. but they were socialist only in name owns. in '33 hitler took way ban l

how shocking it was that people were not standing up in the republican party to people like rush limbaugh and have a history of cow-towing. where are these people that call themselves pro life and denounce the fact that you have people like roeder making statements like this and say, this is awful and go back to a position where we are debating this. >> where are they? we played this by roeder the other night. where are the mainstream moderate pro-life leaders? this is despicable. this is inexcusable. where are they? >> i tell you where they are, they are in private in meetings of pro life meetings going back into the '70s and '80s that i was part of. you have one set of rhetoric for your own people. then if they murdered someone, burnt a building down, afterwards you would make very pale statements, sort of after the fact pussy-footing around that you see from the right wing and the republicans when people like limbaugh or people are outrageous. and that's it and people like operation rescue before he was convicted of murder you know, if this was an islamic murderer, five years from now

that got some restrong reaction from conservative rush limbaugh. first lady had to say and then limbaugh's reaction. take a look. >> hadiyah's family was just like my family. hadiyah pendleton was me, and i was her. but i got to grow up. >> when i hear first lady compare herself to murdered teenager, i know what she's doing. and it -- it's a disservice. it's a disservice to the country. i'm really mad at how easy it apparently is to turn rationality upside-down to the point that it doesn't exist. >> is using the first lady and the president, the bully pulpit that they have, to elicit emotion, is it fair for that type of criticism to come back at them when michelle obama says that basically hadiyah is her. >> the emotion is very real. the emotion is absolutely real and raw. i don't think that you can, you know make that up or pretend or put on an act when it comes to that. especially if you're a parent. so part of the reason that we decided to do this three-part series is that we really feel that we can galvanize communities around the idea of putti

stations, and by the biggest syndicated names like limbaugh. without a doubt, that he's a top contender for the republican presidential nomination in 2016 and they love that he's already a national force. but when it comes to immigration, they're not buying it." >> yeah. >> why? >> well, because, you know, at the end of the day the o's at the end of rubio's first and last names are quite valuable to the republican party as an avatar for bringing in more hispanic voters. the ideas he's saying are not useful. it's been kind of pathetic to see marco rubio, supposedly this towering figure, latino ronald reagan of the republican party going hat in hand to radio hosts, begging them to see his bill is going to microchip every immigrant that comes across the border with biometric data and can't get obama care so they can work and pay taxes but never get medicaid. you're seeing him going hat in hand trying to sell his bill as even more draconian and far right. we're going to electrify the whole southern border, i suppose, or whatever it is they want. ju

you're still going to have rush limbaugh out there saying whatever he says.ow much does this push the ball forward for republicans among latinos? given the fact that it's not a unified, kinder, softer, gentler message? >> if the whole thing falls apart, i think they'll be sorry they went down this road and didn't see it through. the stakes are very high. and that's right, think you're never going to be able to control all of the rhetoric that comes out of the popular base of the republican party. >> some of it is very spiteful. >> and the constituents in those districts who will block this thing. >> marco rubio, it's a gang of eight but it might as well be called the rubio gang. in so far as he's been the major salesman for this. as a leader who can unite ç latinos, skoichs, republicans going into 2016, how effective do you think he's been thus far in selling it? this is week one of the big you know, sort of sales pitch. >> i applaud him for taking on this role and helping to move the republican party forward. there's no question on the gang of eight, his le

you're still going to have rush limbaugh out there saying whatever he says. how much does this push the ball forward for republicans among latinos? given the fact that it's not a unified, kinder, softer, gentler message? >> if the whole thing falls apart, i think they'll be sorry they went down this road and didn't see it through. the stakes are very high. and that's right, think you're never going to be able to control all of the rhetoric that comes out of the popular base of the it's really great to have you, especially on a day like today. we're taking a break, but when we come back, members of the right flank are accusing the white house of using the newtown tragedy for political expedience. but what if the families of sandy hook victims are the argument for gun safety reform. we'll discuss the human experience and the political arena next on "now."
