that led to hitler. in the n-1920, a secretary for war, churchill enraged by iraqi existence -- resistance to british rule proclaimed, i'm strongly in favor of using poisoned gas against uncivilized tribes. he spread terror. years later, saddam hussein and chemical ali were hanged in baghdad for doing what churchill urged and what britain did. the day he became prime minister in 1940, as the army was breaking through, churchill directed his bombers not against ramal's panzers but against rynland cities. that was what your own historian ball johnson called a critical stage in the moral de-- te tense of humanity in our time. coveantry and the blitz were war crimes but they were also raids for terror bombing begun by churchill. the climax came in 1945, with thunder clouds. the fire bombing of dresden, and the florence of the el be, a defenseless city of a te feeted nation, packed with refugees, fleeing the serial rapist of the red army. estimates of the dresden dead rargee range from 35,000 to 250,000. but

it was hitler's birthday. he was given a casket containing all the treaties that had been signed since he had become the fuehrer. only those after 1933, an important ones like the anglo german naval treaty of 1935. the private secretary joked that hitler had broken every single one of them. ladies and gentlemen, that is not a man that you can do a deal with. >> more questions? let's have three questions from theire. >> thanks for a very interesting evening. if churchill was more a liability than an asset, who could possibly have done a better job? [applause] >> we know that nazism stood for oppression. in the 1930's, the conference made it apparent what their ulterior motive was in regard to the jews. why did the proponents not acknowledge overy's point that churchill saw through although bullshit? listening to the proponents, i know that the courageous few men who stood up to chamberlain and halifax with their -- thank god they were there alongside churchill. [applause] >> who would have done a better job? >>

hitler started the war on september 1, 1939. on september 3, britain and france declared war on germany. why? to honor a war guarantee to poland that they could not honor, they had no plans to honor, and they did not, in this sense, the french army told polls on the 15th day the whole french army will be thrown against germany. the british told the poles, if they bomb warsaw, we bomb berlin. they did not, and so the poles suffered this horrendous fate. the french and british, heroic as they were, could not conceivably honor -- that would be decided by the two great monsters, hitler and stalin. the british and french should have done what they did when stalin dishonored the yalta agreements. you said, and do not cross our redline. if britain had done that, i believe that hitler wanted no war in the west, and a lot of things he might want to do in the east, but if you cannot prevent it, why do you declare war? >> there is an important issue within that war, which is no war, no holocaust. >> it is an absolutely monstrous thing to s

and what we have today is a hitler-like figure, mr. speaker. of course, ahmadinejad, who is saying many of the same things that hitler said during those days, giving the same threats. you know, very few people took hitler seriously when he said he intended to kill the jews and yet that's precisely what he did. and yet, today, we have ahmadinejad, who is making the same statements and we watch before our very eyes, he is building a nuclear arsenal. and what are we doing, mr. speaker? well, we're talking about sanctions and how effective are these sanctions going to be when it's necessary to have russia and china to help us with that and of course, all we're getting from them is rhetoric. in fact, the only thing that has been done in all this discussion is we have given up missile defense in the czech republic and in poland. so we are already beginning the process in this world while we have another hitler-like figure out there beginning to plan the destruction of the jews once again. . so i think we need to stand, mr. speaker, with our brothers

britain is sort of standing alone against hitler and what was it, 80 something% of the country was still opposed to american participation in the war; is that right? so how much of that sentiment we use a had to do with ts kind of conspiratorial thinking and since of the recent history? >> host: i think lot of it did because people believe the united states got involved in the war because financial interest that want to support britain for their own financial gain and o believe the second world war was a replay of the last, and they did not make a loud for the fact hitler was keyser, and they saw that -- they did not believe the united states had any national interest in getting involved in world war ii. >> host: so at that point then, ho are these conspiracy theories spreaamong the population? we think now -- you go on line and they are all over the internet. how do they spread from that riod? >> guest: of coue it's much more difficult. i start the book in the world war i period, and there is a free famous free-speech case in which a group of anahists who believe president wilson was in

they believed the united states should not be fighting hitler and should be fighting the soviet union and some of the more anti-semitic. some of them quite overtly so in some of them less so but ihink that played a role. the least they were not concerned about hitler's policies and thought it was none of america's business. >> let me shift geara little bit. let's talk about the larger picture that you paint and then we will t back to some of the particular cases but if i take yo book as a whole it seems to be the case that the u.s. is particularly prone to these kinds of beliefs in conspiracy theories about the government more broadly. i've found my own work americans tend to be prone to fears of all sorts so i'm wdering is there the case that americansre more prone to this and if so why do you think that is the case? >> guest: i think americans are not necessarily more prone to conspiracy theories in general. because when dramatic things happen, it is a human quality to want to lieve that there is some reason for it, that random events don't just happen in particular there is a resis

you're trying to make sure everybody has healthcare and they are putting a hitler mustache on you, that doesn't make sense to me. explain that to me. he don't understand. one in seven african americans are out of work. the highest in nearly a quarter of a century. more than two out of ten african americans and three out of ten black children are living in poverty. this economic crisis has made the problems in the communities of color much worse. that is why my administration under the leadership of attorney general eric holder is serious about enforcing the civil rights laws and tearing down barriers to equal opportunity. >> geraldo: joining me to address the presidents a reflexes, ann coulter and juan from washington. the president made a point of saying how the united states, his image being tarnished by the extremist rhetoric opposing his healthcare policy. the hitler mustache, isn't it true, isn't this extremist rhetoric embarrassing to the united states and our president? >> if so, then liberals really did a number on america's image for the eight years of george bush. i linked on

and that's why we hit on adolf hitler, he says.he clip's designed for a jvrn aids lobby group called rainbow to remind people to use protection. it's pegged to the world aides day. but some other aides awareness groups say the campaign is sensationalist and counter productive. it unconsciously says there are good and guilty murderers who pass the virus on and that's not the case. groups like in are asking rainbow to pull the campaign. the ad agency itself says it never expected this kind of attention. of course we expected some reactions and we have been prepared for this, but not for 40,000 or 50,000 clicks per day. youtube has removed the ad from its site, but rainbow says it's message must be heard, that the ad will save lives. now the group behind this campaign, kyra, say that awareness of aides has fallen even though the illness itself is increasing in scope. there's 28 million people who have already died as a result of this disease. so it is one of the biggest mass killers in history. on the other side, of course, those peop

attack the president of the united states of america as an animal or as a reincarnation of adolf hitler, or when they wave signs in the air that say we should have buried obama with kennedy, those kind of things are beyond the bounds of the way presidents have ever been accepted. even with people who disagree. and i think people that are guilty of that kind of personal attack against obama have been influenced to a major degree by a belief that he should not be president because he happens to be african-american. it's a racist attitude. >> we're going to get to the more dangerous aspect of that question. what i want to get to in the next segment after this break, but let me go to drew and congressman mfume. drew, first of all this question, this sense you can go to a rally and hold up a sign talking about the men in the white house being some kind of animal, that he's a hitler guy. the fact that somebody would know they can get away with carrying a sign like that without being shunned, pushed a aside, beaten up, tells me there's a license out there. why can you -- the fact someone would

i didn't see as many signs as i had seen at town halls that obama is hitler, those kind of things. i actually have to say, honestly, i saw fewer of those at this rally. as for this fox ad, i think we're in a dangerous position as the media. what you saw there at the crowd, saying tell the truth, tell the truth, to me, there is so much mistrust of media. and i think the fact that we even have to go through this right now, cnn versus fox, and you know, everybody versus fox in that ad, it takes away from time we could be spending doing real stories and it adds to that mistrust, unfortunately. which is a real problem. >> an excellent point. lisa, appreciate it. kate and jim, thanks so much, guys. appreciate your time tonight. >> thanks, campbell. >>> a buddy, boyfriend, teammate. that's the ray clark his friends know, but police say he is a killer. tonight, we're going to talk about the two sides of the man suspected of murdering a yale grad student when we come back right after this. i started this job, i admit, i had some doubts. probably a lot like you. but i like what i found. i th

i will say these are the people that called george bush hitler. i ran against one who said the queen elizabeth was a drug dealer. my response was, i didn't think she dressed nearly well enough to be a drug dealer. but here's the mistake i think conservatives have made and they're paying for it now. that is, they were happy to see -- yeah, there were some angry average people. but there was some crazed people. there were lunacy people. there were people from very right-wing groups that are not part of mainstream conservatives. they were very happy to let them go out and attack democrats. then they began to worry because oh, wait a minute, we have more rational arguments. and they wanted to pull back from the death penalties. by the way, the democrats made it previously. there is a reluctance on the part of mainstream politician to repudiate the angriest and least rational and least logical and unfairest people in their own wing. and that's a mistake. i wrote a book about it years ago. you got to -- you know, one of the hardest things to do is stand

policy. >> larry: didn't call him hitler or talk about monkeys or anybody bring up -- did anyone make want to talk about disrespect, what people said about george w. bush, about signs being held up. >> larry: okay. so you're saying there was no racism in any of these protests or any of these people? >> you're always going to find wing nuts. the question is whether or not the opposition to obamacare about race and racism? and it is not. >> larry: do you think it is, al? >> i think, first and foremost, i think we're fortunate we have a president that doesn't play into this. i think that he has said and i agree, there may be a distinct minority of these that are protesting that are doing it based on race, but this is an issue in terms of health care that affects blacks and whites. i agree and i know he's probably surprised that, larry, that the same happened under president clinton. i think the issues themselves are beyond race. and i think that we would do a disservice to the debate to make this black/white. having said that, i think president carter's right. there's some racism, clearl

where the speaker outlined what she sees as comparisons between, you know, hitler and president obama. here's another one for you. "how to counter the homosex isle extremist movement and how to stop feminist and gay attacks on the military." these people are nuts. the washington independent reports, quote, it was a weekend of speeches and training sessions that were laden with doom, cries of mounting fascism, and long prayers for salvation. at worst, the speakers argued fascism was on the horizon. at best, this was a pivotal time in a war on christian values. wow. if a person believes he is under a threat at war, okay, that this government is coming for him, he will see it as self-defense. people are not afraid of acting in self-defense. weigel reports at this weekend's conference the lead eer told th crowd this, quote, don't you dare give up your guns. never, never, never. someone shouted become "give them back one bullet at a time." called out another activist and the room, well, they just got a big kick out of that and they broke up in lalaughter. tonight, another story. the secret

the president as undocumented worker, the president as hitler.ink that illusions to violence are not racially motivated, you may reconsider. hate from the ground and hate from the airways is complicated. oneupsmanship. in obama's america, the white kids now get to beat up the black kid with the black kids cheering. white kids now get beat up with the black kids cheering basing it on a school bus incident which police determine was not over race but over an argument of who got to sit where. that alteration is definitionally unadulterated racism. more on limbaugh in a moment. that same story about a that school bus was played on matt drudge's website surrounded by anti-obama headlines. context is key, but hardly necessary to reveal the obvious. when the president's environmental adviser resigned, it was in part because this man stirred up accusations of mr. jones' otherness. of course glenn beck had been losing advertisers because of efforts by the organization mr. jones co-founded. color of change. advertisers objecting to mr. beck saying he thoug
