what bothers me is these republican friends and people like clint backed -- and people like glen beck. i am still a republican, and if it keeps going like this, armstrong -- let me say this to you. you talk about the sergeant and the professor. the sergeant had to a known the professor. he has been around a long time. he had to a known that face. he was in his house. how can you say that he could just arrest him like that when he is in his own house? guest: i think joe and i might agree on this. there are people in this country who might not recognize barack obama. it is true. you might find this hard to believe. [laughter] it is very possible in the cambridge police -- of the cambridge -- it is very possible that on the cambridge campus they might not know the professor. guest: i laughed because there is a guess that said if barack obama's came to a particular place, the difficulty of getting a cab the sewe sometimes have, s that if he did not come with his bodyguard, he might be -- he might not be able to get a cab. we have to appreciate and learn each other's cultures. ani pride my

ck caller: i get tired of i'veilly, had any, glen beck and rush limbaugh, you are a left-wing lown, iave always been a conservative. you just get tired of the nonsense and it just becomes intolerable after a while where you quit watching them. >> host: you are watching book tv. >> guest: people get frustrated ons fed up with that kind of presentation, their personality presentation, a lot of americans find that very entertaining, ascinating, that is tv that for them is eliminating because they have intense debates, for me, sometimes you can't even finish the thought, back and forth, real fireworks, some people like it. >> host: you paint a picture of thurgood marshall, i want to begin the first paragraph with these words. november 18th, 1946, thurgood marshall was in a black sedan driving out of a small farm in columbia, tennessee. he had just finished representing two black men charged with attempted murder, the start of a 45 mile ride that he and his fellow lawyers took ia, to-fill every night, they feared they would be killed if they went to sleep in columbia, tennessee. >> guest:

. -- glen beck.am a big believer at throwing stones are republican politicians have gotten out of line. [applause] as i said this morning, we are rapidly getting to a situation where we may just take back the house and it will hurt us because we have not learned all the lessons we need to learn. that's why we need to grow a lot of stone's right now so they figure things out before next year. inly the right blogosphere, at some point, you have so many competing voices, that the way they try to distinguish voices, they start throwing stones and that could be a problem. but we do need activists and we do need pundits and the need to work together. >> not only throwing stones, but he has the most harsh or controversy all rhetoric also gets their name and a paper and is linked to what ever. you brought up earlier that there are not enough full-time conservative blockers. if you work full-time as a blocker -- as a blogger, you have to do what they called research. if you can do this full time, you can go t

host: based on early track record, you look at glen beck or bill bennett and in a culture they are wrongore often than right and rush limbaugh is right more often than wrong. guest: it is still a small sample to draw conclusions from. it is early. i think alternately as we do more and these, there is value in that kind of talent. we resisted initially counting up those things, but we realize that we are really creating a tremendous data base of independent journalism that is assessing those things and it is valuable for people to see, how often is president obama right and how often was senator john mccain right. i think like the back of a baseball card, sort of somebody's career statistics, what is their batting average. but as we keep doing this, rush limbaugh will continue to have a record on politifact and all of these folks will. george will, we have checked several times, and i think every time we checked in he has been right. does not mean he is not getting things wrong but of the things we have looked at, he has been right. this is a columnist who has a research for that fact che

don't appreciate yes in prime time you have hosts who have very strong opinions, shawn hannity, glen beckbill o'reilly. but even among those three there are very diverse opinions on basics -- basic policy matters and on how hard or soft to treat barak obama. then of course there's a new side when i think is unfailingly fair and balanced. so again to level and add holmen in the fox that discredits a 400-page book? that's ridiculous. host: joining us from iowa independent line good morning. caller: yeah. i just found out who holds her paycheck and i wanted to know if this book, what is your answer to all these questions you have? what is the answer to the corruption in washington? you've got a book out but you don't have any ideas? >> well, guest: well, i think sun light is the best disenfieck tenant and disclosure will help breed disclosure, and i also think very simply that knowledge is power. i think that the american people have not been fully informed about just how much an illusion hope and change the era of hope and change has been, so i think the book is part of the solution. host:

of the right wing group that was there was a talking point from rush limbaugh, sean hannity and glen beckhost: anything you want to add? guest: no, i think the call makes a great point. one thing that i think we are hearing just like from the caller is that the right wing may have overreached and when they are spewing hate and shouting down the american tradition of debate in these town halls they are going to make sure that the 70% of americans who want a public health insurance option and many more that want true healthcare reform are going to show up and make sure their voices are heard. host: newport. tennessee. martin on the republican line. caller: good morning. i'm a disabled vietnam vet veteran and i also have medic e medicare. in 2006 the stock market was at 14,000. gas prices were $1.56 a gallon. the oil was $46 a barrel. the democrats took over the congress and senate, and since then we have gradually went downhill, downhill. on the medicare part, if the government ran it so good why do i have to have a supplemental insurance with my medicare? it is a private insurance. and the

i do not know the answer, but i am just trying to point out that i think it was evident that glen beck was name-calling. where was the honest discourse? guest: i would agree totally with him. i thought the statements were at regis to refer to their president as a racist. remember when keyane west made that statement, she was forced to apologize. i am working towards a town hall meeting type of truth and reconciliation and a very mature, not finger-pointing session to get to the truth, reconcile it and move on. . . officials with the center for disease control on obesity in america. after that, i.e. hearing on the safety of ready-to-eat products. now, a form an improving u.s. relations in the arab world. hosted by the new america foundation here in washington. >> i want to say a special greeting to all our watchers live on the seas and an offer to those watching this broadcast over do -- over the website. before you even get into the question of el to zero altri 0 e of these phenomenons that you have seen it emerged in a rapid amount of time. i was recently in athens, greece, and uc the

you have all been watching the efforts to boycott bollenbach -- glen beck. barack obama says, there is a source of pain in the media, fox. i also want to talk a little bit about how fox can work together with the on-line community. i will come back to that later. in the short run, the power of events, the power of television and cable news has been seen very dramatically in the town hall this summer. there is something about the drama of ordinary americans speaking up to john dingell, and arlen specter and so on. this has had in colossi affect on the politics of the day. it has been a tv struggle. it has been said that people say fox's conservative. fox isn't conservative. it just looks conservative compared to the rest of the media. [applause] i think that is a good case in point. for example, when lynn sweet stood up and ask a question about professor gates, that made her look like a conservative. instead of all the other puppy dogs in the press corps, she asked a tough question. when others do the same thing and stands up to robert gives, people say he is
