john kerry's speech. the idea that we need the government to protect us from the very reporters that expose the misdeeds of bureaucrats is absurd. thomas>> that's the first kind and caring thing you said about the media. yesterday i was outraged because of the texas governor candidate greg abbott. he would not disavow ted nugent. a couple of weeks ago he called president obama, quote, a subhuman mongrel. sarah palin has endorsed abbott. she says, if he's good enough for ted nugent, he's good enough for me. there are some people who fling around the word racism way too often but when you call a mixed race blackman a subhuman mongrel, that's racism. governor palin, i want you to know something. my kids are mixed race. they're not subhuman, they're not mongrels, and no republican leader should do any name-calling. you're a mom. we expect more than that. you can go to facebook or twitter. do you agree with secretary of state's assertion -- kerry's assertion that the climate change is perhaps the most fierce some weapon of mass destruction 567892% say yes, 48% say no. i think that's where the country is on this type of stuff. >> what do you

. >> you know, thomas, the interesting thing is that when john boehner and the house republicans come out taking this position on immigration reform, they actually are upsetting a lot of their natural allies, whether it's the u.s. chamber of commerce, whether it's k street, whether it's "the wall street journal." a lot of their conservative allies are really upset with him right now especially "the wall street journal" this morning. >> you make a great point. u.s. economy ampled 2.5% growth for 4.5 years. political class seems intent on fighting over the blame rather than trying to escape malaise. the latest evidence is john boehner's punt on immigration reform. only days ago the house speaker floated a set of reform, but the response from anti-reform right was so intense that he emerged at the capital on thursday to more or less declare that nothing will happen on immigration this year. so great is the gop fear of talk radio backlash that it won't pass even smaller bills. the result of doing nothing will be defacto amnesty in which 11 million illegal immigrants will continue to work
