not spoken in public about saturday's attack but she emailed her views to conservative commentator glen beck who discussed them this morning on his radio show. >> she wrote back in part, i hate violence. i hate war. our children will not have peace. politicos capitalize on this to succeed in portraying anyone as inciting terror and violence. >> lehrer: the country had a similar conversation following the 1995 oklahoma city bombing. then president clinton appealed to americans to denounce the forces of fear. >> when there is talk of hatred, let us stand up and talk against it. when there is talk of violence, let us stand up and talk against it. in the face of death, let us honor life. >> lehrer: today in congress amid the back-and-forth over the tucson shootings, there were also calls for calm from both sides. >> i think the message to cool it ought to be clear from this. maybe it has nothing to do with this. maybe his almost insane meandering had nothing to do with watching the congress or with websites or blogs. >> all of us are particularly heart struck and saddened with the awful event in

current example of that if i was into the book when it happened i couldn't believe that bollenbach -- glen beck was going to hold a rally on the cd august, 28, 2010 coming into do it within the context of the i have a dream speech. now everybody -- martin king doesn't belong to me, doesn't belong to the civil rights movement. he is an american icon. but if you are going to associate yourself with him, or even think to claim part of his mantle, do it within the context of the truth and accuracy. i guess i got so tired of hearing all of these opponents of affirmative action, quote, after time i am opposed to affirmative action because i stand with dr. king. i want my children to be judged by the content of character and not by the color of their skin so martin king would be opposed to affirmative action to get wrong. absolutely wrong. he was one of the earliest opponents of affirmative action. he understood the need, in fact she i think even indicated lyndon johnson's speech at the university. the one where he's getting to the commencement address and says you can't take a person who's been in sl

and lastly, i would like to say that glen beck, rush limbaugh, they have to stand up and stop sayingments that few people take such action because they're not the politicians, they're only t.v. personalities and their job is to get people to watch their station and to entertain. i think people watch them for information. when we should watch more of the real news stations or even watch the politicians are debating and the chambers of congress, c-span, you always show that. you know, if you want to hear the real issues and what the politicians are talking about, to committee, instead of trying to get the information from t.v. personalities. >> thank you for the call. the other victim is judge john roll, appointed by bush. he is 63 years old, a native of pittsburgh, pennsylvania, he serves on ninth district court of appeals. note of condolences from the chief justice of the united states, john roberts. we covered him at an event in april of 2006, the chair of the xhshl, senate judiciary committee was specter, and asking about immigration. this is from 2006, a quick comment from specter

the leadership is trying to force them to make these compromises inside the congress people like glen becknd markkula vin, some of the talk show horss are goinging to be beating the crap out them. so this is going to be a very interesting few months. >> lehrer: very interesting few months, mark? >> i think it will be, jim. i don't disagree with david's assessment. in the spirit of comedy of the new session, the new year. >> lehrer: in other words, you agree. >> with the spirit of the gentlemen from pennsylvania, i do. i agree with him. i do think that the real tension and the real drama is going to be on john boehner's side of the aisle. i mean he's got his hands full. the democrats are probably more united than they've been. they are in the minority. that minority's role t is a lot easier to be united when are you in the minority but john boehner has problems with those tea party folks. >> lehrer: the-- he is an example. i think the freshman republicans came here with the idea that to cooperate is to collaborate. to collaborate is to be open to charges of not being totally patriotic and c

i mean i'm sorry, glen beck says the world will not cut them any slack nor will sarah palin and if they don't cut them any slack and really affects those tea party republicans that is going to make john boehner's job absolutely impossible because i think probably boehner would associate himself with an awful lot of what you are talking about. let's come up with sensible compromise and move the country more to the center, the budget more to the center, to the right, but knot have litmus test on this, but i thought today, i agree with what david said, i thought john boehner really struck a plate moat/note today. he was authentic, he was real. he was full of cliches, not very inspirational but if you in a bar out there in st. joseph or a vfw hall you said i like this guy, he really seems real and i thought that was very effective, the republicans on the other hand are off zero a bit of a rocky start, they promised to cut 100 billion and now think say 50, 50 won't be easy, paul ryan notwithstanding that will be very tough, they say they are going to have open rules and transparency which so

my other two stories, glen beck's rally and john stewart's rally. i think both of them were significant. i think more people that came out for the john stewart rally were for sanity, ask that's what it is all about. host: and you don't think the folks that came out for the glen beck rally were for sanity? caller: no, i think they were trying to stirrup feelings. host: c.v.s. care mark greed to buy a medicare d. unit, an acquisition that may open the nage's largest pharmacy health care provider to further criticism about anti-compttive practices. under the deal, c.v.s. will buy medicare part d unit. the purchase will more than double c.v.s.'s presence in the fast-growing parkt to 3.1 million members up from 1.2 million members. also this morning another twitter message. "the top story for 2010 was obama outed for being the socialist, globalist, controlled puppet he is. illuminati stooge." that which william brandt. caller: i think it ought to be the popular vote who decides who is the president. host: randy, what does that have to do with 2010? host:

i can name off the top of my head easily six or seven republicans, rush limbaugh, glen beck, marsha blackburn, michelle bachmann, sarah palin, despite what the former caller said, is an agitator. and others who have done nothing but rile up the people through the tea party. the tea party is part and parcel of this problem. they show up at rallies with signs depicting the guns. they show up at rallies actually carrying guns. this would have been unheard of to come to a presidential speech with a gun on you. i can say that there have been times when keith olbermann and has said something outrageous but he apologizes the next day. host: have we heard anything that the suspect has been said that political, and there's on -- that political commentators on ready or television have inspired this? caller: it is an assumption but it is a valuable one cents the person he attacked as a politician. he attacked her with a gun. that is being promoted by certain people who attend the tea party with a gun sights on the offices of legislators. they say we have to reload. michelle bachmann like to have her peo

i just can't see people like rush limbaugh and people like sarah palin and glen beck ever toning down their rhetoric. the only way it will happen is if the viewers and listeners quit viewing and listening to these programs. that's the only way that this will end, is if the viewers and listeners say, i've had enough of this, this is poisonous, and i won't listen to it again. >> media has reacted, clear channel who of course airs the are rush limbaugh show, has taken down their bill boards calling rush limbaugh a straight shooter. they're becoming sensitive to this as well. those bill boards are coming down all over town. >> i hope so. i'm not taking my shirts and dry cleaning to sparkle cleaners anymore if they don't get off that john justice show. we need to talk to advertisers and say, if you're going to put this bile on and pay for it we're not going to go to your businesses. >> the president coming tomorrow again puts the national and world spotlight on tucson, arizona. the memorial service at the center on the campus of the university of arizona. i think that's significant in itse

this woman is fighting for her life and they are are fighting over glen beck contribute. we all contribute. this country host: next is victor joining us from mississippi. caller: first of all, my prayers go out to this family. we have to bear some responsibility for what happened. we are used so often by politicians, democrats or republicans both. when they want to get elected, they put us against each other. republicans say democrats are giving welfare to the poor people. every time they want to get elected, they say these things and they incite hatred in people. democrats do the same thing. they say the republicans are against the poor. people take these things and they run with them. and they have violence in their intentions with one another. if we stop doing these things, the people would come together. we need to vote them all out, not just the democrats, but the republicans. host: thank you. tomorrow morning we will be talking about this on "washington journal." we will discuss a peace looking at the constitution and justice antonin scalia. that is tomorrow morning

beck orwatch pla glen rush limbaugh and i see more of them than i want to say.hank you and have a good day. guest: i appreciate your comments. host: biloxi, mississippi, republican line. caller: good morning. host: is haley barbour going to run for president? is your governor going to run for president? caller: he met. don't see it, but he may. everybody should get on the love train in egypt. that is an old song but one of the comments that is derogative which i don't mean but the federal reserve, the jewish people have a jubilee. they have a 50 year jubilee. one of the jewish people that run the federal reserve give us a 50-year jubilate on debt? that is a lot of money and i don't see it being paid off. maybe they could do that for us. host: did you want to address that point? guest: not really. host: what about raising the debt ceiling? it is at $14.30 trillion. a vote could come by late march or early april and tea party members say they wantont vote to raise the debt ceiling. what will happen? guest: this will be a real test for john boehner and mitch mcconn
