"the new york times" with this -- he has this conclusion -- none of this began last year on the eve of mr. obama. there's the constant intimidations during the george w. bush presidency that he was a modern hitler, a man whose very existence threatened the cherished american ideals. the more pressing question is where does this end? whether we will begin to reevaluate the piercing pitch of our political debate in the wake of saturday's shooting, or whether we are hurtling unstoppable into a frightening period more like the 1960's. this country labors to recover from the memories of dealey plaza. tucson will be the tragedy that brou

we didn't have rush on, we didn't have sean hannity on, we didn't have any of that, period.and therefore you would not say, oh, people are really insulted and are not civil to each other. they've always been uncivil to each other. >> i have to admit, i mean, when people say the rhetoric has gone up, i mean, are you kidding? why you here in '65? we had riots in the streets. >> they forgot the shootings of those kids, they forget bull corner when the civil rights movement was in full blossom, so there's no such thing as an increase in hostility as it relates to expressions. >> what i do find interesting is that on the theatrical level there seems to be this split, in other words, they get you on or they get a republican, and they pick some topic, and everybody splits on it. there's no effort at trying to get consensus. but when you go to washington what you find is on so many topics, for example, there is sort of a quiet consensus. in other words, you don't really hear actively all that much about afghanistan or iraq or things of major consequence. a lot of times it's split on

what i see it as more entertainment than news because rush limbaugh, sean hannity, michael savage, they're not going line by line through the health care bill. they're trying to entertain their audience and there the first weather at this. this is not a slur on what they do and they do it quite well and probably which is why they keep doing it. my wonderful husband would be very upset if i didn't mention streaming radio on computer because that is where he is moving to get all of his radio. that opens up. you can now hear radio stations broadcasting out of milwaukee or florida if you want to. a haven't tried to find a jakarta station but there must be one that is available. it goes on to television. the difference pulling protesting cable. i'm not that old. some students are thinking saying yes you are. but i am not. when i was a kid my dad could attest to the effect that there were three television channels we got and to get the new head to climb on to the roof and stick and antenna up there which was her wing because it was wonderful but not that coordinated. i'm just kidding. so that is

examines is so, but to kill the rhetoric over the last two years from folks like glenn beck, sean hannity, and the like. host: you can see on your screen representative giffords on the floor of the house. richard, you are on c-span. caller: i was a republican for 30 years and i left the party and 10 years ago. i am calling on the republican line. i think the sheriff in arizona should be commended. he will probably lose his job but he spoke his heart, his mind, and i think people that listen to the michele bachmans and the sarah palins to be in sight to -- incited to these that. we probably saw some unbalanced person who took a lot of that -- you got a problem, pick up a gun -- and that is what we are in this country. sarah palin says i had got you in my sight. michelle bachman said lock and load. it is really sad and i feel for these people that were shot and killed. 9-year-old girl, what a tragedy. i'm a performer and armor, i served in vietnam, i have not tested on since 1971. quite that -- i have not touched a gun since 1971. this guy had an automatic. what is that all about? some push

>> she's going on sean hannity monday night. that will be friendly territory. she's a fox commentator. we'll try to walk back some of that language. he'll obviously ask her about that phrase blood libel. she will defend herself. she's very strong and very attractive politically, obviously, to the right. but she doesn't have a reverse gear. she doesn't say, i'm sorry, i may not have said that the rong wrong way. it will be hard for her to say, i shouldn't have said that. >> chris, i know monday you will host a special edition of "hardball." you'll be looking back at the first two years of obama's presidency. how do you think history will judge president obama this week? >> i think everything, as you know, ties into the thing that happened before. if the president had not had two or three months of really good sort of moderation in his political philosophy since the big loss in november, if he hadn't built some good ties in the middle with the republicans on taxes and don't ask, don't tell and the nuclear arms deal, he wouldn't have been as effective in tucson. b

in an interview with sean hannity monday, michael reagan did not back down from his cutting remarks. where's the backup for what ron has stated? and it's sad that this debate has starts, when in fact my father accomplished so much in the last four years of his presidency. >> over the weekend, michael also tweeted, my brother was an embarrassment to my father when he was alive. and today, he became an embarrassment to his mother. ron jr. said it was the president's perform mance in a 1984 debate that first made him wonder about alzheimer's. hen he told elizabeth vargas that he counseled his father not to run for re-election. >> partly that was because i didn't want somebody shooting him again. that was certainly true. there was just something that was off. i couldn't put my finger on it. >> president reagan was diagnosed with alzheimer's in 1994, five years after leaving office. but in 1980, before being elected at age 69, candidate reagan contemplated potential health problems. telling "the new york times," if i were president and had any feeling at all that my capabilities had been

something you have to let the court figure out and by them saying that glen beck, bill o'reilly, hannitye is a lot of blame to go around if you do that. watch "the view" everyday and you have joy behar screaming about sarah palin. what if somebody, god forgive, does something to palin? should we blame her? what about madoff? you can't blame one person. this guy was mentally ill. we have to remember that. he was mentally ill. we need to come together as a country, get through this and perhaps we can, the rhetoric, we can kind of, you know, slow down on the name calling and things like that. i believe we can do that, you can't blame anybody. >> okay. >> caller: for this. >> okay. keeping an eye on the pema county sheriff department. they will have a live briefing coming up in a few minutes. they describe jared loughner as mentally unstable and point out overnight that the 22-year-old may have been acting with an accomplice. you may have seen some of the photos the sheriff's department released on a number of websites asking for information on that. at this briefing, we'll hear from robert

i have never seen such hate since president obama was elected from beck, hannity, limbaugh, and whenou to pick up their guns and fight, the sort of thing is bound to happen. there are so many wonderful republicans and democrats. it is time for them to do what mr. kristol said and turn off the television. stop giving people like him ratings. stop giving them money. we do not need legislation to come down the rhetoric. we just need the american people to say we have different views. that is what makes this country a great country. a great country. guest: that is what most politicians say. it is not fair to say that this has nothing to do with sarah palin or michelle bachman. the fact that they could somehow be responsible for this is unfair. i just criticized michelle bachman about 10 days ago for not raising the debt ceiling. she is involved in political debate. she is not inciting people to violence. host: we have about 10 minutes left with our guest bill kristol who was booked before the shooting over the weekend.
