but i believe, you know, listen, kirk cameron said something, you know, with piers morgan and got in i said during that time, kirk, it's not what you say, it's how you say it. but i supported kirk cameron for being able to say and stand up for what he believes in. >> well, you have called vice president biden a potty mouth. you called the president a gangster. do you think that the words that people are throwing back and forth are, you know, and i played just a bunch of clips of everybody saying just hostile, nasty things. and i know every couple of years, we say this is the worst ever. oh, my god, the rhetoric is so bad. but at some point don't you think it's ratcheting up? >> well, soledad, i call them like i see them. no. listen, there was a political move by this president to get health care passed that in my perception was criminal. meaning on a common sense level. you don't go do a deal behind everybody's back and work the system and, you know, pimp it out so to speak, in order to get your way. >> so i'm going to guarantee you that the fact you have used the words "pimp it out"

. >> kirk cameron is coming to see us. >> and we get hot with firefighters, baby. see you tomorrow, which i think is booze day tuesday. >>> i'm jim cramer. welcome to my world. >> you need to get in the game. >> firms are going to go out of business, and he's nuts. they're nuts. they know nothing. >> i always like to say there's a bull market somewhere. >> "mad money," you can't afford to miss it. >>> hey, i'm cramer. welcome to "mad money." welcome to cramerica. other people want to make friends. i'm just trying to save you a little money. my job isn't just to entertain but i'm trying to do some education here, too. call me at 1-800-743-cnbc. hated rallies don't stay hated. they tend to gain adherence. the trick is to recognize it before the adherents overwhelm the sellers. that's what you have to think about today. dow entering four points lower. nasdaq down .01%. microscopic. people want so desperately to fight the last war. that's what they do, dig in their heels. if it worked in the most recent times, doesn't it have to work again? call it logic. when you are

>> part of the problem that seems to me is when i've had real die hard christians on the show, kirk cameronbest example. he's probably not a bad guy, and he has his believes. but it was he talked about homosexuality, the way he talked about it as it was the end of the world as we know it, et cetera, et cetera. it's that what grates with people, it's the language employed by some christians which are just inflammatory. >> i understand that. and if you look at the life of jesus, the people that you would have thought would have run the other way, the gamblers, the prostitutes, those were the people who were attracted to. because he had an ability to just love all people. so i think any time you're excluding anybody, that's not the message of jesus. >> how literally should people take the bible, and should the bible be an evolutionary thing, rather like the constitution was amended a few times. >> piers, that's not for me to say. those things are too deep for me. it's even having a show like this, i'm an idiot, and you want me to take this show off of not on a christian network, but on a main

. >> coming up next week, kirk cameron and kristin bell.ave a great weekend.

. >> kirk cameron. >> oh. >> coming to his defense. >> what does mike seaver have to say. >> a good manolitical strategist, thank god. in a tough situation. he said he misspoke. i like to evaluate people on their life, career, everything they stand for. he is saying he has been an advocate for prrsfe for a very long time. he made a big mistake. but don't judge him by the one statement. but, one of the very few sticking up for, todd akin at this point. >> yeah, one of the very few. i think the word legitimate was taken out of context. i don't think he meant to say certain rape is warranted. a poor word choice. the idea that rape can't lead to pregnancy, he admitted was wrong. a scary part, and he sits on a science committee in congress, concerning someone in that ssession would have such an off-base medical opinion. >> if you go to his website. it says i made a mistake. he said the people from missouri, who elected me, know i'm not perfect. the first thing he brings up. he knows he misspoke. >> and let the folks in missouri decide. we will see. >>> tropical storm isaac is churning in the

kirk cameron will be with us. we'll talk to him as well. all that and much more ahead. we'll see you tomorrow morning on "starting point" and we have to toss it to "cnn newsroom" with carol costello who is back from her vaca. >> i feel refreshed. >>> good morning to all of you. happening in the newsroom, outrage from akin's comments that legitimate rape victims don't get pregnant. romney and ryan trying to distance themselves this morning but we found paul ryan has partnered with akin in the past. >>> bad behavior, allegations of skinny dipping at a christian holy site. several lawmakers allegedly drinking and taking a late night dip in the sea of galilee. >>> actually about one and a half. i have a great polaroid of it. >>> and a legend remembered -- the man who brought us maverick and goose from "top gun" taking his own life, jumping from 180-foot-tall bridge. this morning a look back at an extraordinary career. the perfect home, the perfect life, the perfect town. "money" magazine went coast to coast, town to town, and has the best places to live. the unveiling live

is an elected republican in the country that has not called for akin to step down -- >> well, kirk cameron and says a lot more about akin and where he stands on the issue. he is a guy who really believes that he made a small error. it's been overblown. the republican party has never really wanted him to run in this seat in the first place. >> john: yeah, he was claire mccaskill's pick. >> exactly. so i think they saw it as an opportunity to get a stronger candidate in there. but akin is a -- is a religious guy. he listens to his wife and conservatives, and if they tell him to stay in he is going to stay in. so i think it doesn't say anything about the republican party as much as it does about -- you know, mr. akin's mindset. >> stephanie: another devout republican who advocates war and punishing sinners because jesus was really for those things. it seems like now the issue of rape and abortion are now really in the forefront, and i -- i don't know. i'm just a viewer, kate but it seems like this issue is not going to go away and even if todd akin were to drop out tomorrow, this controversy

he was a long-haired brown skin in revelation, kirk cameron homeless mideastern jew.the guy our republican brothers and sisters are claiming to follow. you're allowed to cling to war. you're allowed to really, really you know, want to take funding away from the poor. but this is the problem with conservative christian mentality in america. they like to say well, jesus helped the poor but he -- my tax dollars, rob me. when you vote in a dmorks you're a fund custodian. you get to decide where our collective money goes. jesus lived in occupied holyland. he didn't have democracy. we do. and that's what the right wing christians fail to understand. they want to believe that you've gotta be completely christian except when you're in the voting booth. and then jesus can't see you so you can drop all of that care about the poor crap and that's why time and time again we see that it is the loudest self-proclaimed american christians who are going and voting for the most powerful. they're voting for the rich to get tax cuts. they're voting for the guys who want to nuke iran. th
