lincoln memorial. and both a. philip randolph and dr. king and mr. wilkins came to me. and at one point, i said to roy wilkins, i said "mr. wilkins this speech represent the young people in the student nonviolent coordinating committee and all of the people, indigenous people in alabama and georgia and mississippi and all across the south." and he sort of walked away, sort of backed off. then, mr. randolph and dr. king came back and said -- dr. king said, "john, this doesn't sound like you." and mr. randolph said something like, "we come this far together, john. let's stay together." and i couldn't say no to a. philip randolph. i couldn't say no to martin luther king, jr. >> so you agreed to some changes. you took out the words criticizing the president's bill as being too little, and too late. you took out the call to march through the heart of dixie the way sherman did. you took out the question asking which side is the federal government on. you took out the reference to some political leaders as "cheap," and you took them out, you're saying, because you were on the

mr. hunter became a pundit called the southern avenger who was thrilled with lincoln's assassination, he would have had gay sex with hitler, celebrates john wilkes' booth's birthday and ranted against mexican music. i don't know who hates mexican music but the question is what impact will all this have on rand paul and his future plans to never ever be elected president. i'm glad you ask. scott blakeman is the funny creator of liberal comedian.com. he performs his unique brand of political stand-up across the country and regularly in new york with a laughing liberally lab. up next, regular from "the stephanie miller show," the great lee papa, the rude pundit whose work can be found at rude pundit.blockspot.com. he's the author of the rude pundit's almanack. and frank conniff. >> hello. >> john: gentlemen, thank you. we should note that hunter renounced most of his comments in an interview yesterday. and in a blog post, late yesterday, but should we be surprised that rand paul's social media director once longed for the days with a friendly gathering meant lots of guys in white sheets? >>

mr. garamendi mentioned the 37th congress and abraham lincoln. in the middle of the worst catastrophe this country's ever experienced, a civil war, that congress understood that we had to make investments as a federal government if this country was going prosper and grow and allow the private sector to take up where we left off. and that's why they invested in the transcontinental railroad. that's why they created the homestead act. that's why they created a united states department of agriculture. hat's why they created the college-university system. the idea that the private sect consider do it, we don't needed it -- sector can do it, we don't need to do it. well, the internet was 100% of federal investment. it stayed a federal investment for 25 years until the commercial application was clear and then it went private. whatever we invested in that was worth every penny in how it's transformed american life. g.p.s., entirely a federal investment. not a private sector investment. and it's the private sector that's understood the commercial applic

lincoln. now he compares to the nixon politician. >> i think i get it.

lincoln was in the middle in the constitution that ultimately is the most important thing and a commonality with today's republican party. >> mr. lowry thank you. let's give them a round of applause. [applause] >> thank you. in nepal this book will be published, "wonder woman" is the name of the book sex, power and the quest for perfection and the other is debora l. spar who has a day job as president of -- college in manhattan. debora l. spar are you a feminist? see it if you would have asked me that question five years ago i would i would have said absoly not. the combination of taking the job i have now in writing this book has made me a die hard feminist although i think the word itself is a complicated word and i think we can get too caught up on the word itself rather than thinking about the issues behind feminism which most women are stones lay in favor of. see how do you define feminism and what are we getting caught up in? >> there's a great t-shirt we have floating around the system to the effect that feminism is a crazy idea and women are equal to men. that is what feminism is about. there is no one who can argue wi

mr. president, for the sons and daughters of lincoln and the eras of jefferson and jackson to no longer wage upon each other but instead to take up ain our struggles against the aancient enemies of man: ignorance, poverty, and disease. that is what has brought us he here. that is why we serve. mr. president, we need to rediscover the deeper sense of patriotism that has always made this nation such a great place. not as democrats or independen independents, not as residents of the south or the east or the west, not as liberals or conservatives or those who have ideological compass but as one nation, understanding the threats that face us, determined to lead our country forward to better times. and so i will cast my vote, mr. president, against changing the rules of this senate. r all of the reaso i have mentioned in my brief remarks and those who have been mentioned by speakers before me. but more than that, mr. president, i will cast my vote in the profound belief that this is a rare opportunity to put the arrange money aside -- to put the arrange money aside -- acrimony aside, to put us on

mr. baucus: madam president, just outside this chamber are the likenesses of washington, jefferson, lincoln and dozens of statesman cast in bronze ans marble. i often look to these individuals for inspiration and quotes when writing a speech. on a recent walk across the capitol to meet my colleague, congressman dave camp, i passed a giant statue of andrew jackson. it was jackson who famously said, "the wisdom of man never yet contrive add system of taxation that would operate with perfect equality." end quote. madam president, those words were spoken by jackson in 1832, more than 100 years later, our nation still struggles with a broken tax system. our tax code today is inequitable, inefficient, incomprehensible to the overwhelming majority of americans. it contains nearly 4 million words, 4 million. if someone were to try read the entire code outloud it would take them more than 18 uninterrupted days. not only is the code long, it is maddeningly complex. 42 different definitions of a small business in the code, 42. 15 different tax incentives for higher education, so many that the i.r.s. h
