were people outside the town hall meeting equating barack obama to adolph hitler. do you know how offensive that is? you have sarah palin -- let me -- sarah palin -- >> let me hear from nick. he'll be funnier. >> they invoked hitler. the left has never done that. >> no, i don't remember that we have. >> for bush, come on. >> it should have been stalin for god's sake. >> you have the wrong guy. >> that's beside the point. >> you do you know why barack obama -- >> i want to answer jack's question, do i think all these people are republican stooges? absolutely not. i do think they're the victims of a deliberate campaign of misinformation when you have somebody running to be my vice president, sarah palin running to be vice president of the united states and she goes on and suggests barack obama wants to in still a bunch of death panel panels? >> you're saying what -- you're sighing -- by the way, that's another guideline when the anchor raises their voice everyone suddenly goes totally quite eat. this is like thanksgiving at my house. >> the problem tanya is, jay thom

we could weep, couldn't we, for poor old adolph hitler there, and maybe mussolini.orry for him, i guess. >> they believe it is a scapegoat and it's not clear exactly who carried out the bombing. >> i'd like to see closure of the justice, which is justice for the relatives of the victims and also justice for people generally. because until we know the full answer for lockerbie, we should be less in doubt. >> i'm asking for your views on this. how do you feel about this early release? do you think he should remain in prison until his death? he did have a life sentence. john is calling us from georgia. okay, john, what do you recall? >> caller: honestly, i'm appalled, and i am totally, totally disgusted. i was in the military at the time and i was scheduled for that very flight to come home during the holiday season. >> is that right? >> caller: yes, ma'am. for some strange reason, call it define intervention, a few days before the flight, i couldn't sleep, and i just tossed and turned. what i did, i got up and changed my flight, flew a few days earlier, and after i go
