you might read shelby steele, you might read ward connolly or in a number of other people and i felt i had answered it adequately. i got -- the guy drove me to the airport after the speech in dallas. i arrived home and one of the people from the organization sponsored the speech called and said well we're getting calls from reporters at the fort worth star-telegram who says you gave a racist speech and made racist remarks, and i got the guy on the phone, the reporter and i explained the context and told him the story about my son and he seemed very disappointed for one thing that he wasn't going to be able to nail me but also satisfied with my explanation and said he would look into it further and call me back before he ran anything. he never called me back and he ran the species into the accusing me of being racist and took what i said, twisted the context. it was a very ugly thing and then on solve this peace picked up by a bunch of other papers, a bunch of other liberal papers i must say all throughout texas and it was extremely upsetting. i marched for civil rights. why, as i say

on last night's "nightline," deepak chopra talked to chris connolly about the drug's allure to jackson. >> on one occasion, and i have not mentioned this to anyone. he said to me, deepak, you know, it's something that takes you right to the edge, to the valley of death and then brings you back. do you know anything about it? at that time, i had never you know, even thought of diprivan or anesthetic. what were you talking about? >> what did he mean when he said that? >> well, that's now in hindsight, that diprivan takes you right to the edge, if it's taken in sufficient amounts and it brings you back. it's a short-acting anesthetic. the diprivan, which can only be administered intravenously, should not be given unless you have the ability to intubate a patient. this should only take place in a hospital setting, where you have procedures available to you to resuscitate a patient. so, this drug should not have been in those facilities at home. >> according to an a.p. report, jackson relied on anesthesia to put him to sleep, and awaken when he wanted, like an alarm clock. >>> there is a he

. >> reporter: connolly is a democrat elected from a republican area. a big reason for the democratic divide delaying health care reform may be that democrats are victims of their own election year successes. they come from winning and holding 27 democratic districts in 2006 and an additional 26 in 2008. that means democrats like connolly have to answer to and represent conservative leaning districts. >> it's very important to remember that a lot of suburban districts such as mine support both the democrats and republicans in congress, and it's important that the message we send not be a negative. we're taking into account their conce concerns. >> concerns like tax increases. press releases and a media blitz in the works. >> democrat leaders are going to walk their members down the plank on nationalizing our health care system here in this country. and require them to build on a massive new tax increase in small businesses. >> reporter: are you worried if this is done wrong, this could jeopardize your seat and those like you? >> when you run for congres

connolly: mr. speaker, when our friends on the other side of the aisle decide to advance to oppose any health care reform bill, they are putting politics ahead of the needs of the american people. guaranteeing coverage for pre-existing conditions which affect 45% of insured americans, they are against it. closing the prescription drug doughnut hole for seniors, they are against it. protecting families from the cost of catastrophic illness. they are against it. half a trillion in medicare and medicaid savings. against it. a plan of their own? they are against that, too. why? because uniform opposition to all reform, all savings, all extended coverage, why? the answer is simple. chilling and deeply troubling. senator demint, republican of south carolina put it bluntly. if we are able to stop obama on health care it be will be his waterloo. it will break him. at least the distinguished senator from south carolina is honest about the republican agenda. it's not about a substantive critique. it's about
