he had run against george your home is your castle mahoney in the '66 election to win. that's when i wrote the -- >> as maryland's governor. >> i said it's the party of maddox, mahoney and wallace. they were all very anti-civil rights. so we got agnew for two reasons. one reason was that during the riots in april -- even though he was strong on civil rights, he had called in these civil rights leaders and asked why aren't you condemning the violence? the objection a lot of people made was he brought in tv cameras and read him the riot act. i took agnew's statements and marked them up and sent those things in to nixon. he was very impressed by his toughness. he was very impressed by the time he met agnew. agnew had been rockefeller's number one booster. so agnew was boosting rockefeller, and brings in all the reporters and said rocky is going to announce. rockky did not call agnew and tell him i'm going to announce i'm not running. he's rockefeller's booster and he brings all these reporters in and rockefeller says he's not running. agnew has egg all over his face. nixon

, who r mahoney,. in 1967 and 1968 there were race riots in cambridge. and then later in baltimore in april fallowing the assassination in martin luther king. agnew came down very hard on the protesters and caught the attention of some of nixon's men, particularly john mitchell and pat buchanan. nixon famously apparently said, although some nixon scholars question whether or not he ever actually said, that a vice president -- vice presidential running mate cannot help you, can only hurt you. in 1968, he just did not place all that much attention to it. and by the late spring of 1968 and into the early summer before the convention in miami, nixon began to sigh, well, i have to choose someone. he met with agnew several times. came away apparently impressed. although i have found actually in my research something that i found very interesting. in march of 1968, milton eisenhower wrote agnew a letter saying although dick nixon is one of my best friends, we need to do everything we can to make sure nixon do

we had a meeting in mahoney hall with the leadership of major labor and business organizations that's been followed up with a couple of other meetings and dialogue is taking place. we're planning to do some joint polling to kind of look at various options. then i think we have to decide on the best approach, and obviously there are a number of factors. one has to do with stability, a very key element. one has to do with adequacy. one has to do with equity, which is largely in the mind of the beholder and the more difficult one to address but we have to get it on the table. we have to make sure that the rip between our long-term economic objectives and our tax code is not random but is intentional. and then we have to have a campaign to engage and educate oregonians about the need to do this. so we're moving in that direction. and i am optimistic that we will be able to pull it off. >> we'll now take questions from the floor. as always, members are invited to the microphone to ask their questions. asking questions at the friday forum microphone is a privilege of membership. so please i

but it's been notable the leadership including people who are generally pretty liberal like mahoney have criticized this in really apocalyptic terms and this comes back. you talk to catholics who went to mass over the weekend, they heard about this. they've been hearing about it for weeks. i think politically what it does for republicans, it emphasizes two arguments they've been making, they haven't taken seriously in the media. one is that congress passed the health care plan without reading it, this mandate was in there. it was debated a little bit in 2010. and only now do they make this decision. the other argument is i guess people have been chuckling a bit when newt gingrich said there's a war on religion but people go back -- people go to mass and they hear about the government doing something, forcing something upon bishops they don't want to do. that adds evidence to that. >> we've talked about how mitt romney is trying to capitalize on this, make this about religious liberty even though his policies as massachusetts governor were very similar. here is rachel maddow's take this m

i spoke to rob mahoney, deputy director of safety of journalists.t about this not just because journalists were killed but because of the impact on people depending upon journalists to get their stories out. the assad regime has gotten some mobile communication tracking equipment and supposedly tracked these two journalists, electronic communications as well as others. and they knew exactly where they were. >> we could talk only about syria in this interview but i want to get your opinion on what's going on in aftz with the burning of the koran. the president apologized. >> it was another one of those unfortunate situations where bad judgment was used, it appears. that was the case. that has been acknowledged by all sides, the military, the president, the afghans, folks watching and observing. it was one of those situations where supposedly, there were some detainees in the parwan facility at bag ram who had religious material and had been writing messages on some of the material which is considered dangerous, obviously. they are messages that might
