ann coulter just wrote a book about racial demagoguery.he's here exclusively to respond to biden and others. also this evening, is team obama robbing suburbs to pay for the cities? a new report exposes this plan to redistribute wealth. we'll tell you about this new war on the wealthy. but first up, it's been just 72 hours since mitt romney announced his choice for running mate and already the romney-ryan ticket is getting flak from inside the beltway republican consultants and strategists. politico says, and i quote, the gop is fretting over ryan. the hill says ryan links romney with congressional republicans, quote, an association that could carry more risk than reward. and oh, by the way, new of the ryan krit ecks are actually cited by name. isn't that something? this whole thing is absolutely outrageous. here romney selects one of the most talented republican leaders in years and this is the response? from republican consultants? my message is very simple and i tweeted it today. man up and shut up. former clinton white house official is

ann coulter cannot stop todd akin. karl rove cannot stop todd akin.he only people, only people who can stop todd akin from going to the united states senate now are the voters of missouri and their senator, claire mccaskill. joining me now, msnbc's joy reid and richard wolffe and michelle goldberg of "newsweek" and "the daily beast." let's listen to what rush limbaugh had to say today, advising republicans how to handle this issue. >> for any and all of you republicans, when you are asked why you don't have a rape exception in the party platform on abortion, don't answer it. don't get into the substance. don't answer the question, republicans. don't go anywhere near it. it's a setup, it's a trap. you turn it right back around on them, and you ask the reporter if they've asked the democrats about the extreme aspects of their position. >> joy reid, yet another example of why rush limbaugh could never spend a day as a political candidate himself. of course, there is nothing extreme in the democrats' position on abortion. but rush limbaugh clearly thinks,

and ann coulter blew up last night on fox news. let's watch her. >> anyone who donates to mitt romney, and i mean the big donors, ought to call mitt romney and say if andrea saul isn't fired and off the campaign tomorrow they are not giving another dime. because it is not worth fighting for this man if this is the kind of spokesman he has. to respond to an ad like this by citing health care in massachusetts? there is no point in us going to massachusetts and pushing for this man if he's employing morons like this. >> morons? isn't the deeper problem they never trusted him in the first place? john, there's an old rule in politics you that know who your enemies are because when you make a mistake they jump on you. the fact that ann coulter and laura iningraham and others were poised to jump on this guy it tells me something about their instincts. why did they jump so ferociously? why didn't they just help them out? >> well, erick erickson does not like mitt romney. he can't stand him. he has not been able to stand him for a long time

we'll ask ann coulter. first the latest poll numbers for romney looking good and for obama, just plain bad. we asked swing state voters if they are better off now than they were four years ago 56% say no and the president could lose his home state of illinois. according to a survey from cook county meaning chicago and the suburbs, is most democratic-leaning county in the state, mitt romney leading obama 49-37 in cook county. some uh say it's the addition of paul ryan to the incompetent helping to push romney up. however, not all in the republican party would agree. my next guest, legendary republican strategist roger stone is actually blasting paul ryan. roger's calling him an anti-supply side root canal republican, end quote. we also have former cbo director douglas holt ekin of the american action forum. roger, i will start with you. anti-supply side root canal paul ryan. a disciple of jack kemp. you're being very tough on him. >> a protege of kemp. it's interesting. he says he read ayn rand so people thi

i mean, ann coulter is talking out of her mind right now. why would andrea saul need to be fired for this campaign to go on or for donors to support mitt romney? isn't the cause a bit bigger than one singular spokesman? i get that she's upset. i get that andrea saul probably stepped on a very big moment for the romney campaign where they could have focused on bill burton's ad. but to act like andrea saul needs to be kind of sacrificed here is just totally absurd and it's wrong. it's unfair. >> wouldn't you say that's a gross miscalculation if she was, in fact, on message? i mean, you have conservatives of all stripes -- >> yes. >> -- really angry about this. >> but you got to that with your first point, right, that the boss of andrea saul, eric fernstrom, who runs communications for the romney campaign, had said essentially when you get to a general election you have etch a-sketch moments. and by that, we can presume that he means, you start to shift focus. everything romney did in the primary, which included a huge disavowal of his health c

we kn continue with ann coulter. i find this amazing.ember rush limbaugh got on the phone, called sandra, publicly -- tone, civility and then takes $1 million from bill maher, your buddy, which was by the way, given to this super pac. at this time with harry reid and this new ad, what hypocrisy! >> no, that's true. you can always nail the democrats on that. i think it's probably a good sign that obama is so desperate just to get the base, democratic voter, stupid single women, to vote for him. this is good news that he needs to lock up that part of his demographic. >> sean: $3,000 -- we found birth control pills available for $9 a month. condoms are very inexpensive. >> daily caller did one at target-- >>> walmart. >> no. but i mean, he is trying to get the stupid, single women voters, which is the democratic party base. and i would just say to at this time stupid, single women voters, your husband will not be able to pay you child support -- i mean, if obamacare goes through and obama is re-elected, you are talking about the destruction

conservative columnist extraordinaire with us ann coulter. be right back. >> whatever else history may say about me when i'm gone, i hope it will record that i appealed to your best hopes, not your worst fears, to your confidence, rather than your doubts. in this springtime of hope, some lights seem eternal. america's is. thank you, god bless you. god bless america.

and ann coulter, whose book "demonic" is now out in paperbook. let's start out on the economy. coming off of that friday's employment report. you see good news/bad news for either political side. i take away from it, we have the economy, the economic table is set pretty much going into the election? >> yes, july was the 42nd consecutive month of unemployment over 8%. which means october, we can be fairly sure it will be the 44th consecutive month. back up a limit bit. in 2011, we created on average 150,000 jobs a month. through 2012, so far, 51,000 a month. 172,000 this most recent month. that means we're creating 50,000 more jobs a month than necessary just to keep pace with the growth of the workforce. that means, if we're going to reduce this notion of unemployment out there, in increments of 50,000 a month, would take us ten years. if you doubled our rate of job creation, it would take us three years. >> no way it can be under 8% on election day? >> i wouldn't say no way. it's 8.2%. it could go down a little bit. the fact is, this was a prett

>> the usa ad is the big talker with ann coulter and bill o'reilly. we will hear from bill o'reilly in just a moment. >> first let's hear f ann coulter's explosive reaction to the ad telling sean hannity she thinks it is despicable. >> it is a despicable ad it shows the true colors of a man that is hope and change. no he was too young to show his true colors. >> at some point it has to back fire. do you believe mitt romney could cause you to get cancer? his father would be embarrassed he is running for the heist office of landau believe he hates woman and hates dogs? >> it remind me how glad i am we are running mitt romney against this despicable campaigner because they can't go into his divorce records. he makes you and i look like paris hilton. i think it ad would be the turning point. most americans would say this is absolutely despicable blaming this woman's death on mitt romney. >> that harsh criticism isn't just about sean hannity and ann coulter. bill o'reilly weighed in. >> this is using a guy who is accusing romney of contributing to this wom

ann coulter said, there's no point in you, sean hannity, doing your show. there's no point in going to the convention and pushing for this man, meaning mitt romney, if he's employing morons like this. i guess the only morons tell the truth, right? but even mitt romney is starting to talk up his health care record on the stump. >> we've got to do some reforms in health care, and i have some experience doing that, as you know. >> oh, yeah. this is why the joe soptic ad has republicans absolutely scrambling. it puts the gop in unfamiliar territory and drives home a very vital point about the middle class in this country. put yourself for a moment in joe soptic's shoes, the soptic family. with affordable health care coverage, his wife would have had a fighting chance. this is a kitchen table issue that hits every american family, health care. how much it costs, and just how good is it? and guess who doesn't have to deal with this, with that kind of a worry, the very people who are in washington who vote on health care legislation. health care is dictated by the

ann coulter demanded he fire andrea saul for touting the romney health care law on fox news. they're still not over saul's remarks. >> we conservatives don't think the republican establishment knows what they're up against. the way to respond to that ad is not accept its premise. it scared me that they may not know what they're up against. >> mitt romney should fire his staff. remember the guy who said the mandate is not a tax? get rid of him. then get rid of andrea saul. >> you want to fire mitt romney is what you want to do. >> may be the timing of a new romney ad today look like another faemt to sol-- attempt solidify the base. >> who shares your values? president obama used his health care plan to declare war on religion, forcing religious institutions to go against their faith. mitt romney believes that's wrong. >> in 1979, a son of poland, pope john paul ii spoke words that would bring down an empire. be not afraid. >> when religious freedom is threatened, who do you want to stand with? >> 89 days until the presidential election. two national polls show president obama

and we will hear from governor sarah palin, rick pery and nikki haley and ann coulter and juan williams will be in the sky box. but first, former new york city mayor, rude rue. you are a rock star. >> i love it here. see all my old friends. when i campaigned for george bush and john mccain and who knows how many other people, you know everybody. >> sean: certain excerpts have been released that we will hear tonight. one thing that really caught my attention -- i wish president obama had succeeded because i want america to succeed. but his programs gateway disappointment and division and this is not something we have to accept. we can do something. >> i think that's a very positive message. i mean, i think it's very sincere. like mitt, i hoped he succeeded. i didn't support him. once he got elected, we hoped he succeeded. but by his own measure of himself, he's a failure. his stimulus, almost $1 trillion, is going to bring unemployment down. unemployment's the highest since the great depression. he will create growth -- he hasn't created growth. he said he wouldn't run for re-election. >

and like anne coulter said if he loves his country he will step out. he hates his country. he hates america. >> i said this on "the five" and i am not totally kidding when i say this, but isn't this the democrats -- this was a genius move on the democrats of the they planned this whole thing. they put all of the money on to get the weakest candidate. they got the weakest candidate nominated, and shouldn't he run as a democrat? >> don't ever criticize the democrats. it is an absolutely brilliant move. it is like the operation chaos stuff. in this case they are giving him two plus million dollars. that's the point when the missouri republican party should have said this guy is such a more ron that they are giving him money. >> and that leads me to my big point. aiken, maybe he is not the culprit here. the republican party, how did they not see this coming? if you see your opposition building up this guy shouldn't you go -- we better do something. maybe they tried to do something and i don't really follow missouri politics. i don't get that that often. shouldn't they be embarr

." >> rish limbaugh, ann coulter, and erick erickson all go crazy. >> if andrea saul isn't gone and off the campaign tomorrow -- >> i like being able to fire people. >> i saw there was going to be a pron. >> democrats are fun unified. >> america has a serious choice to make. >> are you calling mitt romney a liear? >> yes. >> he is the worst republican in the country to put up against barack obama. >> if we don't run chris christie, romney will be the nominee and we'll lose. [ cheers and applause ] >>> i'm chris hayes in for lawrence o'donnell tonight. two new national polls show president obama widening his lead on mitt romney as the romney campaign uses a new television ad to try to make nice with republicans. but first, we have new details i suppose about the famous unnamed source that allegedly told senator harry reid that mitt romney paid no federal income taxes for ten years. here is reid's deputy communications director jose parra. >> all we can say is that we're comfortable with this person. this person is an investor in bain capital. a republican also, and somebody who, you know

[ applause ] >> governor romney and allies in congress, they think if

beginning on tuesday, august 7, ann coulter. how are you? >> great! so good to be here. >> sean: i have an unnamed source that you department write your book, you weren't born on the day you said -- what is this? >> vian unnamed source in kenya who says that obama was born in kenya. you won't -- they want the tax records because this is how obama wins his elections, as i described today. it's by default. he takes his opponent by going into secret, sealed divorce files, medical records. in his-- >>> explain this. this is important. >> his very first race, he wanted to take the place of alice palmer. they persuade her want to ruin run for her own seat for state senate by raising her breast cancer treatments. she decides to run. so they get her disqualified, not having enough signatures. then when he is running for senate, he was against blair hall, a multi-millionaire investment banker. blair hall was way ahead in the polls and what happened? david axelrod, ex-employer of the chicago tribune, pushes the story that hall's ex-wife got a protective order f

role in illegally voting on behalf of his former companion seems fishy though and then there's an coulter one of the most shrill hateful conservative voices on television as reported by brad log in both two thousand and two and two thousand and four coulter illegally cast absentee ballots in connecticut despite her actually being a resident of and living in new york that's voter fraud just like it was voter fraud when former republican presidential candidate jon huntsman voted in two thousand and ten claiming his governor's mansion in utah as his fish as his official address even though he was no longer governor and no longer lived in the mansion just like it was voter fraud when indiana's republican secretary of state charlie white the top election fish official in the state was found guilty of several felony charges like lying on voter registration forms voting in the wrong precincts and submitting false ballots. the one i'm most interested in hearing is the explanation from none other than republican mitt romney who likely committed voter fraud back in two thousand and ten when he vote

last night ann coulter demanded he fire andrea saul for touting massachusetts's health care law on fox news. andrea saul still has her job as far as we know. today republican commentators were still not over saul's remarks. >> we conservatives don't think the republican establishment knows what they're up against. the way to respond to that ad is not accept its premise and then say, well -- it scared me that they may not know what they're up against. >> here's what i think he should do, mitt romney should do. he should fire his staff. eric fehrnstrom, the guy who said the mandate's not a tax. you can get rid of him. then you can get rid of andrea saul. >> you want to fire mitt romney is what you -- >> oh. >> the timing of a new romney ad released today looked like another attempt to solidify the base. the ad seems pitched to appeal to the several thousand subscribers to the right-wing catholic journal "first things" with a bonus quasi-endorsement from the ex-pope. >> who shares your values? president obama used his health care plan to declare war on religion, forcing religious institut

. >> ann coulter said we will lose. that's what ann coulter predicted. >> say romney does pick paul ryan. say he does. do you think that could cost the republicans the house and the senate? >> it would be problematic in the house and the senate. that could be another reason why they don't choose him. >> who would be your pick? >> portman. >> bush baggage? >> the reason what romney needs now is someone who he is going to be perceived as being comfortable with. there is a stuff being said that he is not comfortable in his own skin and that's somewhat true. he wants to pick someone qualify and who could be a good team. >> did mitt romney sign off on the ryan plan saying he would endorse it? >> if you are saying paul ryan is the best thing for the republicans, i'm saying that's probably not a good thing for republicans. >> 26 congressional district in new york he lost because of paul ryan. that was won because of paul ryan. >> she is probably going to. >> great to have you with us. thanks so much. coming up, republicans are
