believed in eugenics. it was a question of what that exactly meant. now, for sanger, what this meant was a kind of feminist eugenics. if you had birth control and if all women could use it, it was cheap, it was available we would have better babies. mother could pace their children. by the way, sanger is a great believer in spacing children and not having them too close together. mothers could pay close to their children. that was her version of eugenics at the beginning. perhaps you remember the 1927 supreme court court. raise your hand. i'm too attuned to the classroom, always asking people to raise their hands. it involved a young woman from the virginia feebleminded and this jace applied to all kinds of different kinds of differences that americans might have. in any case, the case -- virginia bell was involuntarily sterilized and the case got to the supreme court and the supreme court ruled 8-1 that involuntarily sterilization was okay. the grounds were and i think some of you will find this abhorrent

eugenics movement. yes. >> new york city is about to institute sex education is middle schools and high schools, and the same arguments against sex education are the ones you're talking about for against birth control, mainly, promote promiscuity. was she involved in the sex education movement? >> oh, absolutely, yeah. um, several of her books, this has not come -- i'm glad you asked that question. we forget the writer. she published two books, the pivot of civilization and women in the new race in the early '20s, and they sell together 500,000 copies. after that she publishes two sort of moon yules -- manuals; happiness in marriage -- [laughter] sort of a "ladies home journal", and then a really interesting book of letters that women have written her, "motherhood in bondage." that's the '20s, but earlier she had written what every girl should know, what every little boy should know. this is a woman before the sex educators who really was trying to promote the idea of sex education as part of her entire

what happened with eugenics? this also occurred during the time when the great depression had just ended and the united states and a lot of people never recovered after the great depression but for many states eugenics was the solution for poverty. unfortunately north carolina wants to make sure that people recognize that this is not okay. >> suarez: charmaine, fuller- keer, thanks for joining us. >> back to our coverage of the new hampshire primary, mitt romney has been declared the winter, john huntsman spoke to his supporters at the black brimmer, a restaurant in manchester, new hampshire a short time ago. here is part of what he said. >> our nation's future is how prepared we are to rise up as the american people and hit head on the competitive challenges of the 21st century. you know what i am talking about? >> and this is about economics. and this is about education, and this is going to play out over the pacific ocean with countries that industry lived in before, and all i can tell you tonight, without any

eugene, in his name, was from eugene v. debs. he tried to cultivate a pop list enemy battling great odds in defense of the common folk of arkansas, he styled himself a moderate on racial issue. and, in fact, orville was, he supported integration of colleges and universities in arkansas. they were already integrated. folks don't realize that. but when the dispute over integration of the public schools, the high schools, in arkansas turned ugly in the northern arkansas town of hoctihoxy in 1956, orville decided to sit that one out. at his very core, that was orville, consummate political opportunist. he possessed this, an uncanny ability to divine strategy and objectives of his opponents and devise ways to take advantage of those strategies to achieve his own ends. after the crisis had bubbled on for a while, we can't do the whole crisis in the time allowing, but after it bubbled on for a while, you will remember that eisenhower sent personal emissaries down to faubus, senator brooks -- congressman brooks hayes of arkansas, and he

eugene is absolutely correct. you picked a good time to go back to washington except that it may be snowing there, but, you know, yesterday we saw the aftermath of what was a pretty good show. i think that so much of it was theater. i think that newt being the good actor that he is, answered the question very, very well and it benefited the whole lot. and there is an element here in south carolina who is still rejoicing over his putdown of juan williams before so here is newt putting juan williams in his place and then bashing the media, and that was good red meat for his base. >> congressman, who is a tougher opponent, d maybe they underestimate newt gingrich. it was assumed that mitt romney would be coronated and he seems have a broader appeal than was first generated. >> that is conventional wisdom, but as eugene mentioned earlier this is an extraordinary year, and i would not put too much faith into wilson. i do believe that the election this year is going to be a tough election. and the campaign all of the wa

joining me tonight, msnbc political analyst eugene robinson. also associate editor and pulitzer prize-winning columnist for the "washington post." eugene, great to have you with us tonight. >> good to be here, ed. >> good americans knew about the wealth -- and this story is getting around. if every voter out there knew exactly what romney's wealth was and just how much he pays in taxes, do you think that would affect how people might view him as the president, or view him as the candidate or maybe affect their vote? what do you think? >> well, i think it's something people would want to know. look, i'm with you. i have nothing against a guy making a dollar. that's what, you know, this country's economic system is all about. it creates wealth. you know. the problem is that that wealth has become increasingly concentrated in just a few hands, and mitt romney is one of the, what, 3,140 top beneficiaries of what's been happening to the economy. now, i know the answer to your question, i think. he almost certainly pays a lower tax rate than your lis

eugene?t back from new hampshire, we're back at home base for a couple days. >> we're back here for a while. >> you are a south carolina native son. you know that state better than anybody else. let's talk about mitt romney. he's in the bible belt. it's the first time, perhaps, that the mormon faith will be an issue. >> mm-hmm. >> will it, won't it? >> it could an issue. my sense is that people kind of know mitt romney. there is no one alternative to mitt romney, who i think is going to beat him in south carolina. and i don't think the mormon thing, you know, it's going to cost him some votes there, but i don't think it's going to cost him the primary. >> what about the anti-abortion issue? and that whole question. because that was the first ad that newt gingrich put up. >> questions about, you know, he changed his mind and then stuck with it. but changing your mind is a big deal. and that's going to cost him probably more support than the mormon thing, i think, in south carolina. still, if y

eugene and am reading his letter. my name is dr. eugene, and i am a retired physician who served this community for over 35 years, and i am a member of p.o.c. i referred many patients to st. luke's when it had a full complement of services and was licensed for 28 beds. there are the residents who live in the south of market area. this should be rejected. st. luke's has been significantly dismantled over the past years to the point where cpmc's plan is a mere 80 beds. there are no few -- fewer people living south of market and years ago. they still suffer from heart attacks, strokes, drug overdoses, and the likes. this hospital cares for occupations with a high incidence of birth-related injuries, cooks, landscapers, truck drivers, warehouse workers. the workmen's contract was closed. bayview hunters point alone accounts for more children than any other is a good, and the mission and the excelsior district also includes a significant number of children, and those services are being cut -- more children than any others. we need to --

and eugene robinson, you were there. what's your impressions of what you saw and heard?ll, i'm not actually in the hall, but my impression of what -- that was incredible! you know? i mean, i knew there would be a reaction, but they went after juan in a way that, frankly, recalled the south carolina of a few decades ago and not the sort of new south carolina that we all think we're living in right now. >> and does -- richard wolffe, does newt gingrich think that he's going to gain favor with conservative voters in south carolina with his brash response to juan williams? >> yes. and i hate to say this, but he's probably right. i mean, you're not talking about the general population here, the independents who go up and decide general elections across the country. yes, this kind of pandering, condescension, just total brushoff of what is a very legitimate concern. you know, the caricaturing of juan williams as being some sort of epitome of a liberal media, that's what fox does every day. he's a fox news analyst, now running for president. yeah, this will work for him. i actu

and that one reason, orville eugene falbus. falbus was the governor of arkansas, and he was therefore the person with whom ike would predominantly interact. put simply, in that interaction ike underestimated orville. falbus was a master politician. his father had been a hart core socialist. eugewugene was in. >> you ge-- was from eugene deb. orville was. he had supported the exhibit gration of the colleges and the university in arkansas. they were already integrated. when the dispute over integration of the public schools, the high schools in arkansas, turned ugly in the northern arkansas town of hoxy in 1956, falbus the consume mate politicians decided to sit that one out. at his very core, that was orville. consummate political opportunist. he possessed this, an uncanny ability to devine the strategy and objectives of his opponents and devise ways to take advantage of those strategies to achieve his own ends. after the crisis had bubbled on for a while, we can't do the whole crisis in the time allowed. you will remember that

eugene robinson. gene, is this the kind of day we live for, or am i overreacting? >> this is the kind of day we live for, rachel, best place you can possibly be, come down here, unless you want to go with me to like visit mitt's money in the cayman islands, i think that will be fun too. >> we can swim with the sting rays and mitt's millions. let me ask you, gene, because you and i were both together, completely wrong about rick perry. you and i both thought rick perry would be the real threat to mitt romney, he was going to be the real candidate, and today kaput, does that have any effect on the race at this point? >> it does have an effect on the race, yes, we were completely wrong. we saw he was really going to be a force in this race. look, he doesn't bring many voters with him, right, he's down in the single digits here in south carolina, so it's not as if he's bringing legions into the gingrich camp, but doing it today, it just reenforces this idea, this reality, of gingrich momentum in south carolina and i'll tell you, i've been here all week, and he's gainin

eugene robinson is a "washington post" columnist, pulitzer prize winner, and michael steele is the former chairman of the republican national committee. yesterday at a gingrich event in marshalltown, iowa, gingrich said he'd been romney voted. so i asked the former speaker if this is the future of american politics. the lofty rhetoric on the trail by the candidate himself, meanwhile the nasty super pac anonymous ads from a front group. here's our exchange? >> no, no more than it has been in the past. >> but you've won all these debates, and you come in here, and all i watch on television are these restore our future ads, they're legal now, with no, i paid for that ad by mitt romney, and they go out, and he has a beautiful family, but his ads are trash, trashing you constantly. >> he is assuming american people are stupid. i don't think the american people are stupid. >> but the polls show they're responding. the polls are reacting to this. >> i'm sure within a few weeks, every american will know this is his pac. >> he took you from the 30s down to the teens. it's working. why doesn't he d

also, the "the washington post's" eugene robinson. >> we'll ask eugene, by the way, about him going afteral firestorm. >> well, we'll get to that. >> yeah, but first, will your atlanta falcons find a way to survive in the meadowlands this weekend? >> against willie's giants. >> giants. >> we'll bring in peter king and mike florio for the postseason predictions but first bill karins on the postseason forecast. >> going to try to predict what happens, and he always gets it wrong. >> i'm going to go ahead with a new year's resolution and continue to ignore all negative comments. good morning, everyone. we are watching snow this morning. yes, snow, just a little bit of it. of course, we'll be talking a ton about new hampshire. po portland, maine, a little bit on the ground. careful driving up i-95 in that location. warm air on the way. look at d.c., 60 degrees, and as we talk about new hampshire as we go towards primary, the forecast looks perfect up through new hampshire and into two, so it should be a good turnout come tuesday for the voting. as far as the weekend forecast goes, very warm j

romney's rivals under estimate how well it was for him to do well in the early states. >> eugene, marked we will all be watching with you. and up next, what is the best case scenario for ron paul? and live right now on the campaign trail, south carolina's own steven colbert heading a mock rally for former presidential candidate herman cain, is he asking voters to vote for cain because his name is on the ballot. i've worked hard to build my family. and also to build my career. so i'm not about to always let my frequent bladder urges, or the worry my pipes might leak get in the way of my busy lifestyle. that's why i take care, with vesicare. once-daily vesicare can help control your bladder muscle and is proven to treat overactive bladder with symptoms of frequent urges and leaks day and night. if you have certain stomach or glaucoma problems, or trouble emptying your bladder, do not take vesicare. vesicare may cause allergic reactions that may be serious. if you experience swelling of the face, lips, throat or tongue, stop taking vesicare and get emergency help. tell your doctor right a

lyndon johnson experienced that in 1968, even though he won the primary, fact that eugene mccarthy wonn excess of 40% of vote himself, scared johnson from running that year. could there be a similar protest anyone but obama vote that you suspect tonight in new hampshire? >> the paradigm before eugene mccarthy, 42%, mccarthy at this time said he wasn't running, by march he decided to do it. if you look around the streets right now, we have something very similar. they are called occupy wall street. they are very upset with the president. they are upset with his support of wall street unless they are caught by like jon corzine. this is a perfect example. we know they don't like obama and they don't like the gop. they have not endorsed a candidate. >> neil: had clinton gotten back to you? >> no, they haven't gotten back to me. there has been a property cal at the state department to not comment while you are in a position. they respect that. the only person has said somebody at dmc. people are upset. they are upset about the scandals. they are upset about solyndra and taxpayer money, $500

meanwhile, basketball, well, the bears, they are visiting eugene and the sophomore here.y won a super bowl with them and at the guest. >> yes, 11:35. good night everybody.
