see coverage of an event can make someone look really good or really bad and unfortunately for howard dean the need you chose to use only his close in microphone audio to make him look really bad and to derail this presidential campaign. now back to sarah palin check out how the media covered her rally in madison over the weekend but it's he party rally in wisconsin former alaska governor sarah palin energized the madison crowd a few minutes ago by issuing a challenge to her she was the g.o.p. establishment with not. so far as it is to the g.o.p. establishment first you think of the g.o.p. establishment. pailin speaking in madison wisconsin says the president's not doing enough to address the country's mounting fiscal woes. and we believe he finds even on this debt crisis the only future in the uk obama is trying to do am is the only real action he's willing to forget your children's future to ensure its own and that is not the audacity of hope that this is the. typical sailor sarah palin in front of a receptive audience longing for every word that comes out of the above right but if that

he was howard dean's webmaster when dean was first mastering the ways to make the web useful in forming a political campaign and movement. he's written about that experience in a book titled, " the -- >> you know the title. >> "the first campaign." >> that's it. [laughter] "the first campaign." and now he's written about the experience of the fbi, war in the age of global terror, a book called "the threat matrix." these two books actually mention some of the same people and cover the same stories, but from different ways. in one case treating the excellence of the fbi in preventing the repetition of another september 11th, and in the other case documenting some of the dangers that may come from a zealous attempt to provide security sometimes at the expense of rights. mr. shipler. >> thank you very much. when i was working on the the subject of civil liberties, i -- people kept making wisecracks. oh, remember them? oh, you're doing a history. i was at a luncheon in washington with former ambassadors and flag officers, and when i told them what i was doing, there was a round of one-liners

i was monitoring a panel this week, and howard dean said if he were at the dnc right now, putting his old chairman's had on, he would be quietly rooting for a government shutdown. he said he thinks republicans would get blamed and if he were a democrat, he would want to root for a shutdown. >> this is the worst possible outcome. here we are in two wars and a very major involvement in libya. our intelligence community, all of these people will be adversely affected. troops in the field will not get paid. how can we possibly do this in the middle of all this military controversial -- we have the troops deployed. i think it would be the height of their responsibility not to -- to continue to keep the government funded. >> speaking of libya and financing it, have you gotten any word at all, any indication that a supplemental might be needed for this will all be done within the confines of the existing allocations of the been done? >> it appears to be that there is an argument about this. normally the white house and omb wins these arguments, but what we have been told is that they want to

think you know i think you blame the democrats a little bit more but i think that there you know howard dean kind of gaffes the other day when he said i think that the democrats should be quiet we're going forward i think. the democrats you know probably want to avoid one but they realize that the politics of a government shutdown will be bad for republicans because people can understand that we you know the government can shut down when the democrats run things it's only when republicans come to power that they shut everything down and go and sit and write and so and so that logic you know is pretty compelling to people. but you know if there is a shutdown i don't think all the democrats in congress are going to be too scared all right who will see what happens but i'm sick of politics right thanks so much are going to make it right now before we go tonight it's time for our tweet of the day donald trump was on bill o'reilly's show last night and again i mean president obama was not born here in the u.s. are riley basically told trump he was crazy for believing all that burger crap so tonig

democrats to do what they haven't done before in that state or anywhere else and certainly not under howard dean. the new governor shall mind is doing what he is doing on the single-payer front going behind obamacare in the state level to the extent that's possible, as fast as possible and it's pretty slow because the strong democratic majority in both houses of legislator and a shumlin himself have to do with a viable political formation to the left. the party in vermont as members of the house have now elected a state matter with an independent socialist u.s. senator bernie sanders who is then a very important part of this political equation in the state's largest city. unless you have a formation like that it has been campaigning for single-payer is in vermont is the mid-1970s. this is not some new ideas the democrats just cannot wait for the legislature in montpelier. that tendency will be to drive to the center for the right and you had with the mishmash that came out of congress last year that could have gotten more and better in some cases would've put us on the road hopefully for a more

i mean, howard dean was the front-runner in 2004, right?nojosa: so anything can happen. >> so typically, the front- runner never wins when there's not a presidential incumbent in a democratic primary. and this is what everybody's jockeying around. but his money... he's got a lot less money. he started from a smaller base. new mexico is pretty small. and... but he's not... you know, he's not... this is not his last chance. >> hinojosa: he's still young enough. >> he looks at other races. you know, minorities have to break through. somebody's got to do it. jackson did it in the '80s for african-americans, and you know, barack obama is now, you know, leading or, you know, second and equal in funds. so you have to start somewhere, and that's how he sees it. >> hinojosa: you are bringing up the issue of african-americans and latinos. >> uh-huh. >> hinojosa: the city that i was raised in, a coalition between african-americans and latinos brought harold washington, the first african-american mayor, to the city of chicago. what are you seeing in te

enter howard dean. >> yeah!> reporter: the former democratic party chairman told a group this week that it is democrats that should quietly be rooting for a shutdown so they can blame it on the republicans. >> from a partisan point of view, i think it would be the best thing for a shutdown. >> extreme level. far to the right. >> extreme tea party. >> extreme territory. beyond what was reasonable. >> small, extreme minority. >> reporter: compromise with extremists out to kill kids? they have less than a week to make it happen. for "this week." i'm jonathan karl. >> joining me now, the senate's third ranking democrat, chuck sumer who you just saw there, who joins us from his home state of new york, at our bureau there. and with me here in the newseum, senator jeff sessions. thank you for joining me. you saw jon karl's piece. there's a lot of hijinks in that piece. has any progress been made this weekend amongst negotiators? >> i don't know. >> is that a know? >> i don't know that it has. the speaker indicated he h

howard dean said it. chuck schumer said it. harry reid said it. >> did speaker boehner and your fellow republicans and tea party members tell eric cantor how horrifyingly embarrassing it was for him to misstate constitutional process the way he did? that any high school student in america knows that what eric cantor said last -- yesterday was laughably impossible and stupid? >> not at all, lawrence. >> why not? >> the entire -- >> why would you let him say that and not tell him he's embarrassing his party? >> lawrence, here's why. because there's a bigger point that you don't get and there's a bigger point the senate democrats don't get. we are falling off a financial cliff. our kids and our grandkids are going to be bankrupted. the american people realize that. thhouse republicans do as well. and our leader, eric cantor, realizes it, which is why once again he's going to lead us in putting something in front of the senate democrats so as you said in your opening we can come together on something and move to what really are the

in doing so, he kept the fire alive for what howard dean a generation later called the democratic wig of the democratic -- wing of the democratic party. additionally, as several observers apprehended at the time, jackson played an important trailblazing role for future minority candidates. one columnist el eyesed, no one who has seen the white hands of farmers and the elderly straining to see jackson could doubt that his campaign would leave the country less racist that at founding adding, though, that jackson may have to settle for being the one on whose shoulders others stand to climb through. so there's much in the sort of mainstream politics of the '80s or much mainstream democratic politics that's actually pretty resonant with the last presidential election and go around. and the next little section that i wanted to read from is another one of those, those resonant episodes. and this is about as mainstream as the book gets. in terms of describing the '80s opposition. and that's the historic vice presidential nomination of geraldine ferraro in 1984. and one of my favorite sort of

i want to thank the ggnra, superintendent dean, howard leaf itch, smith, and whoever is behind us in this process for being here. i want to thank them for their public service, and i think this is the highest public service, when you listen to the public and in a public hearing. i think that goes to the central issue of what's going on here. and make no mistake about it. the change in process by the ggnra fundamentally changes the way it deals with the people and with the city. what they have done -- well, let me first say, i agree with many of the comments about the technical deficiencies of the process, when there is an analysis presented for impact review. it ought to be scientifically sound and not read as an advocacy piece, rather than an impartial presentation, and there is that risk in this process that's been identified by the courts before as a process with the park service, which is to railroad through such changes. going to this current process, what is fundamentally different that impacts the city and the people is a change from the mandate in gold to listen to the public

democratic leadership are willing to let the government shutdown, calling to mind the statement that howard deanade 10 days ago. but john boehner has worked hard to avoid that, and to fund a military for the remainder of this year, and to continued the house's efforts to achieve significant savings. he offered, as the elder said, this continuing resolution that could be adopted by the end of this week. i hope that this people at the white house and the democratic leadership will pick up this idea of acting responsibly and join speaker boehner in this effort. it appears to made up we could recognize that the two people working hardest. to do the most important work on the house side of the chairman of the budget committee and the speaker of the house. >> the house republicans are sending to the senate proposal to keep the government operating while we get busy doing our work on the most important issue facing us, to reduce long-term debt. on the question of long-term debt, most of the important players are on the field. the bipartisan that commission has made a recommendation for $4 trillion. pau

democrats want to shut governor down, and this week we found out from harry reid, chuck schumer and howard dean that they've got their fingers crossed right now that the government will shut down. that's their plan. they want to shut the government down, and they want to turn you into their scapegoats and say that it's the tea party's fault for shutting the government down. >> [booing] >> now the cat is out of the bag. we know who had no interest in negotiating. it's harry reid, it is the liberals over in the senate and they want to once again for two years it's been the same song second verse. it's always the tea party's fault, right? what i like about you is whenever i'm with you i feel like it is a family reunion. i feel like we are going to the state fair. you don't even leave later afterwards. [cheering] you're just awesome. you are awesome people. no wonder they are so afraid of you. they are afraid of you because you are powerful. so i'm here to give you a message stay courageous, and i know you will. don't back down, and i know you won't. we will stand for cutting the size of government

calling to mind the statement that howard dean made 10 days or so ago. but john boehner has worked very hard to avoid that and at the same time, to fund the military for the remainder of this year and continue the houseas efforts to achieve significant savings by offering as the leader said this continuing resolution that could be adopted by the end of this week. and i hope that the people of the white house and democratic leadership will pick up this idea of acting responsibly and join speaker boehner in this effort. as i said, it seems to me that we should recognize that the two people who are working hardest here to do the most important work on the house side are the chairman of the budget committee and the speaker of the house. the house republicans are sending to the senate a proposal to keep the government operating while we get busy doing our work on the most important issue facing us which is to reduce the long-term debt. and on the question of long-term debt, most of the important players are on the field. the bipartisan debt commission has mad

to people who may be watching at home that it is former democratic national committee chairman, howard dean, who is rooting for a shutdown. former chairman of the democratic national committee says -- quote -- "i think it would be the best thing in the world to have a shutdown." he's the spokesman for the party, of the other side of the aisle. well, that may be what he wants. i don't want to do that. i want to vote for the bill that passed the house. it's the only proposal that's out there. i haven't seen the democrats offer anything. even "the new york times" said of the president, they said he was silent for too long. we've heard our previous speaker talk about the social issues. well, let's -- let's remember that it is convenient amnesia for the democrats to talk about that specific issue because the president, president obama voted for and signed into law spending bills that included similar -- the exact same identical social issue in the past, the one that he is opposing today. so did 49 current senate democrats voted for a spending bill that dealt with that social issue. so why all of

democrats want to shut governor down, and this week we found out from harry reid, chuck schumer and howard dean that they've got their fingers crossed right now that the government will shut down. that's their plan. they want to shut the government down, and they want to turn you into their scapegoats and say that it's the tea party's fault for shutting the government down. >> [booing] >> now the cat is out of the bag. we know who had no interest in negotiating. it's harry reid, it is the liberals over in the senate and they want to once again for two years it's been the same song second verse. it's always the tea party's fault, right? what i like about you is whenever i'm with you i feel like it is a family reunion. i feel like we are going to the state fair. you don't even leave later afterwards.

howard dean interestingly also yesterday basically said we need to get out of afghanistan. you can see some doing to. on hold i haven't haven't heard mitt romney, mitch daniels, polenta, sarah palin and others kind of lineup yet and call this. but you think that dynamics begin to build among the republican presidential hopefuls at? >> i think that is a tricky issue for them. the same way the further issue is tricky for them. they don't want to be annoying people who might otherwise vote for them. and especially in a primary. and you still do have republicans who have -- i think kind of a knee-jerk instinct to support any foreign intervention. and i mean, it is kind of republican fault for not speaking clearly to the american people. george bush number one with the gulf war. george bush number two. and you know at the time when bush gave that speech 24 hours before we went, at 5 p.m. east coast time, i don't know if you remember it, but he said i'm speaking to you, the iraqi people, your days of living under oppression, of rape rooms are over. i thought it was a brilliant sp
