bill ayers should do it. as a matter of fact, you can buy dinner with bill ayers.e auctioning it off. >> i would watch that. >> bill ayers is gut less and spine less to come on this program. >> have you asked him? >> sure. >> he's a terrific education policymaker. >> terrific on unre penitent terrorists. >> you are really defending bill ayers? >> not bad for a guy who -- >> you mean, he espoused violence against americans. are you kidding? >> he's unrepent tent about being part of a terrorist group. he's a terrorist. >> he never committed any acts of violence. >> excuse me, i don't regret setting bombs, bill ayers. it's a criminal act to set off bombs but he never committed an illegal act? >> we have to take a break. >> we continue with our great, great american panel. rick perry accuses obama, waging a war on religion. here's his new add. >> i'm not ashamed to admit that i'm a christian but you don't need to be in the pew every sunday to know that there's something wrong in this country when gays can serve openly in the military, when our kids can't openly celebra

remember a guy by the name of bill ayers? you remember, unre penitent terrorist.n. there's some guy in the neighborhood. hung out with him a lot but some guy in the neighborhood. let's go back to 2008. what's the verdict here? is palin right to say obama is palling around with terrorists? the truth squad says no. this one is false. the two definitely know each other and had worked together, but there is no indication that obama and ayers are, quote, palling around or have an ongoing relationship. >> i think charles has a point that obama has kept some bad company -- >> let me again. let me finish. but if he loses the election because of that, it's disgraceful. if the republicans make that the issue at the end, it's a disgrace. >> it's a pull bore attack on obama's character, suggesting he's yellow, disloyal and doesn't be long. >> hung out with the guys, gave speeches with the guy, sat on boards with the guy, and started his political career with the guy. >> thiss same media that spent investigating weeks a rock on a ranch that rick perry's did some hunting 20 yea

. >> and bill ayers, black liberation theology. jeremy wright.rooted in socialism. >> did bill ayers write his first book? >> i don't know. >> i think so. >> he was bragging he did a fundraiser for obama. when you read black rib liberation theology, it's rooted in the socialology. >> i would like to give him the benefit of the doubt and not say it's something that's covert. but let's see what happens. the bottom line, whether it is or it isn't, you need a change. you have to have a change or we are in big trouble. >> you talked about we must repeal obamacare. you said something else that was interesting in the book. you said we've lost track with the self re liens that was preached by our founding fathers. you said by global standards, poor people in america are rich. >> true. that is true. but you know the other thing i said, and i very strongly talked about it in the book and it's very rarely talked about during the debates, we are being destroyed from the outside in. we are making bad deals with the world. china is going to make $350 billion o

if they would, the next debate with obama they would ask about bill ayers and show video of bill ayerscorner of the screen and say why did you hang out with a terrorist and give speeches with the guy? >> you are right with the media picking on newt. but the biggest people picking on newt are republicans trying to beat him. people who put money in, trying to beat the guy are republicans. >> sean: it's a republican primary at this point. >> the group is not conspiring to stop newt gingrich. simple as that. i understand why they are nervous about gingrich. the idea of mitt romney as president of the united states is as frightening as i can imagine. >> saying that trust is important to president. like a marriage. there has to be trust there. i went in the debate not necessarily a newt fan. i knew about the choices he made in his life. my goodness, he was so strong. he made others look inexperienced. >> i think democrats would love newt gingrich to get the nomination. >> why? >> newt gingrich is a fat, grumpy, white guy. he will go up against a black, hip, basketball player. >> who has fail

been discussed for 20 years and what if every press conference with president obama somebody says bill ayers and the he rest of them. i think that obama will be yanking on the microphone and saying the secret service says we have to to get out of here. they're not trying it elicit information from paul. they're trying to get television moments and which they did. >> if you allow your name to be put on something and goes out with racist and anti-semitic and conspirator yal stuff on it. the thing to do, i wasn't paying attention, should have paid attention to this and i reject the issues in there and-- >> he doesn't seem that upset. more irritated he's asked about it rather than outraged that the comments are made. >> he might be outraged by the comments. and up in the polls. national reviews, jonah goldberg wrote this. let's take the idea of a president paul as seriously as supporters say they should. though the idea that he could take them in the elections strikes me as crazier. >> and it speaks to where the conservative movement sees paul and supporters say, fine, we'll show them in iowa an

. >> sean: i'm sick of media that ignores bill ayers.. >> s is obvious hyperbole. >> sean: i think we have a good slate of candidates. i'm not going to endorse. i'm going to let the people decide. i just want to give them as much access to the candidates as i can. who is it? >> let me preface for it, it was not an easy decision, i think any of our candidates would make a great president and a great candidate going against barack obama. i think there are certain tie-breakers. i might be hurting some people but infrastructure and executive experience. for that reason i am endorsing mitt romney. i'm very happy. it's not anti-gingrich or anti--anyone else zbleegs there seems to be the narrative that has emerged against mitt he is more establishment. do you think it's unfair? >> i think it's unmerited. first of all, newt gingrich was relentlessly for the liberal republican in one of the first ones. >> sean: which he regretted. >> but look at governor romney. one of the first woman's in, scott brown got behind marco rubio and the courage and c

but talk about about relationship with bill ayers or reverend wright -- >> bob: that is the best youomes the nominee, they have had more marriages than barack obama. >> bob: only one. >> andrea: newt. >> bob: he had three. if newt is the nominee, this doesn't take the issue off table. nobody believes that the campaign is going to -- >> bob: of course. greg is right. surrogates will do it. newt's personal life will be brought back up if he gets the nomination. i am beginning to feel now like you said. it's exactly right. for a democrat, romney thing is forced on us because anything else, all the rest of are terrible so we are left with the milk toast to be the nomination. >> andrea: you are in an arranged marriage, too? >> he will get beat. >> you want a tougher candidate to give obama a tougher fight? >> bob: no, i'd rather have him run against michele bachmann or rick santorum. >> eric: so you are happy. >> andrea: i want to get back, we had this debate. get to the personal life. how much do the candidates personal lives, the marriages matter? >> dana: i don't know. i don't know abo

. >> but obama is so strong hanging out with bill ayers. >> and the republicans think it's a weak field because they are still look for another candidate. >> look at the money. >> there's one candidate -- >> no, there's one candidate that can beat barack obama, and he is doing a brilliant job and it's barack obama. gingrich is only 6 points behind but he's well under 50. all those undecided, they want to vote against him. >> last time newt gingrich was on the national stage he shut down the government -- >> okay, that's a lie. >> did you read david axelrod's talking points before you come on? because you sound just like him. >> no, and he doesn't consult me and i don't consult him. >> you you have an environment u could have a three way race because somebody like bloomberg could get it. >> bloomberg is not getting in. >> i know, but. >> there's a third line on the ticket. no question about that. >> '92 you had a recession and you had 'perot. chances are the republicans are going to be united and the question is when barack obama looks beatable -- >> the majority of people in all four of

. >> for a lot of people who watch "hannity," this is not unfamiliar, bill ayers is back in the news.. >> unrepent can't terrorist. obama gave speeches with him, started his career in his house and sat on board with the guy. now aiers -- ayers is out there saying i raised money for them, did fundraiser for him. should that be en issue this time? >> it will be an issue with me because i will draw a disstings between the south side organizers surrounded by radicals and how that relates to his whole administration. one thing i'm curious about is if anybody has done a real study of what did obama teach when he was a south side organizer? who has been in those classes. they are eager to chase of a republicans. who has been in the losses he taught. what materials did he use? did he use that person's own writing? >> alri

and some of them are bill ayers. >> monica: is this going to be, the professional left is heckling thees? and will they be heckling bam bamg? >> probably so-- >>> you think so? >> i had a problem with the hecklers. but i have a different take on this because it seems like, coming around for what goes around comes around. newt gingrich has been heckling. he's been heckling the wall streeters, calling them dirty people who need baths-- >>> and the problem with that is what -- >> wait a minute. let me make my point. he's heckling judge who is can't answer him back. just a second. he's heckling judge who is can't answer him back. he's threatening judges with subpoenaing them. you can imagine if in the supreme court, decisions that congress, which caused a massive resistance, was to bring the judges before the congress? this is -- this is heckling. this is heckling. -- >>> doesn't it, larry, doesn't it actually help newt gingrich to be heckled by the far left? it isn't a question of how they handle it when it does happen to them. i thought newt did brilliantly. >> you are defined by your op

president, i've been fair to you, i haven't brought up reverend wright or bill ayers, or your early activities in politics, i haven't questioned your statements of the past, and then the public roots for the challenger, at that point, don't they? jennifer, jump in here. if you bring up somebody's past, you better be ready to defend yours, and i think that's tricky business for all candidates, i think. >> i think you're right. that's tricky business. and the other thing, and i'm just going to throw it right out on the table is the issue of race. i think that gingrich can probably play the race card against obama, just as obama could play the mormon card against romney. there are going to be undercurrents to this campaign that are ugly, that are really below the fray that are going to come up. gingrich has -- if his biggest problem is he has predigested information about his past, i think voters can live with that. i'm not saying he's necessarily a strong candidate, i'm not saying he's stronger than romney, but i think he's been digested and either he will be spit out or he will be regurgitated.
