made all of us in god's image and we both love our neighbors and i would remind and ask my friend pat robertson in jordan maybe pick up the bible and read it you know what it doesn't mean that you have to turn your head of love to be there on the not to feel yourself this is what is the source of there you think there's a right to me with tears there's not of the country surely to you about that sometimes you need to look i'm going to write americans have the right to practice . what do we want they're not all of this investigation these are not to do staffers i want to go you want to get the people will travel all the more than five of the terror and all the a.c.l. j.f.s. that the american people know who is behind bringing in people like i was one of the who was brought in but you know what he's the one who did it why do you refuse why won't the chaplain if not the c.m.'s say why maybe. that's why i want to see you not speak right now why would he not come out and put this to bed you could do it so you only just tell us over they don't do it they're not going to talk to you then i don't know

. >> pat robertson was a decorated korean war veteran and yale law school grad before becoming a born again christian. he went back to school earned a devinity degree bought a small station in virginia and started what would become the largest christian broadcasting enterprise in the world. he really liked it when georgia democratic governor jimmy carter ran for president in 1976. >> jimmy carter was talking born again. he was a born again christian. >> i am a peanut farmer and a christian. the most important thing in my life is jesus christ. >> i had some friends in the steel workers union in pennsylvania, and when carter was running i contacted one of them and i said this is a pretty good guy. how about getting your guys to support him. carter won pennsylvania and i think what the steel workers did may have played a critical role. >> it was the key to our winning central pennsylvania in the primary and general. it was what allowed president carter to win southeastern ohio which became a decisive state. >> i jimmy carter solemnly swear. >> the first president i really liked and met w

>> i think pat robertson dropped it. a christian business man. palin's got the tea partiers with her, the christians with her. huckabee is the one challenger who can take an enormous part of that base away from her and deliver it to somebody else. >> so, this is foreign territory for you. let's be honest here. if you look at this like a bracket situation, you've got the western conference, the tea party people. very christian conservatives, like you are, very believing in the moral issues. then the east coast, the establishment, mitt romney types. if she is knocked out for that conservative bracket by huckabee, she's out of the game. if she wins that, she's in it to the end, right? >> i think what she's got, she went down into delaware and got behind an unknown and got her to beat in the primary, the most popular republican in the state. she can do what fdr did not do, knock people off in her own party. let me finish. she's got legs in this sense. she can last through defeats and keep going. very few others can keep going. >> let's look at the pe

and pat robertson's father. he was a leader of the group in the '50s, the dixiecrat from virginia, segregationist dixiecrat. now you see guys bike bart stupak, conservative but not far right wing. democrat, lived in c street, represented mike mcintyre pretty much as far right wing as it gets, democrat from north carolina. senator mark pryor of arkansas who has since decides that he doesn't want to be associate with the the group anymore but when i spoke to him originally said he had learned the meaning of bipartisanship from them. jesus didn't come to take sides, he came to take over. pryor, by the way, just to understand him as a democrat, he is anti-gay, anti-abortion, pro-war, anti-labor, anti-health care, and he has some other enlightened views. but he is a democrat. but that's what's interesting about this group. they've survived this long because they're not rigid in that sense, and that's, again, how you want to define it differently than that kind of populace fundamentalism. the fundamentalism is the ide

or my favorite, absalom willis roberts and senator of virginia and pat robertson's father, who was a leader of the group in the 50s, it dixiecrat. now you see guys like bart stupak. conservative but not far right wing except on the issue of abortion. a democrat lived in c street represented mike mcintyre, pretty much as far right wing as it gets. did a democrat from north carolina. senator mark pryor of arkansas who has since decided doesn't want to be associated with the group anymore but when i spoke to him originally he said he learned the meeting of bipartisanship from them. they told him jesus didn't come to take sides, not republican or democrat. he came to take over. pryor by the way to understand them as a democrat, is anti-, antiabortion, pro-war, anti-labor, anti-health care and he has other fuse but he is a democrat. that is what is interesting about this group, they survived this long because they are not rigid enough sense embedded in how he want to define it differently than the populist fundamentalism. the fundamentalism of the idea that every decision must be filtered

thing in maine that we say in south florida that we say in alabama, at the 92nd street y, at pat robertson'se got to get debt under control, we have to get out of afghanistan and iraq and start rebuilding our own country. they're tired of the screaming and the yelling and the rhetoric. americans are not ideological. the fact is conservatives have a built-in advantage. you have a built-in advantage because you've got 40% of america with you. and you just have to pull over 11%, 12% of the moderates and you have a majority. >> but what's the opportunity -- >> liberals have to get 31%, 32%. >> what's the opportunity here for the republicans, and are they taking it? if you look at the headlines that we've heard just in the past week, they want to beat obama in 2012. they want to kill health care and they want to extend the bush tax cuts. while that might save jobs and keep businesses where they're going -- growing, it's the same thing that you would argue that this president and this white house did, saved a lot of jobs. where is creation? where is innovation? where are idea that is would propel

brought up the point that we deliver the same speech at the 92nd street y that we deliver at pat robertson'spplaud in the same places. >> they seem to want the same things. >> they nod in the same places. he's right, this is not a battle between red state america and blue state america. it's between the extremists -- talking in terms of the media now -- between the extremists and regular people. in some areas of the media the extremists dominate. that's what people hear and read and see. in middle america, 70%, 75% of americans want us to get debt under control, want us to get out of afghanistan or at least stop fighting all over the globe, want us to have leaders that are respectful to each other. jon stewart's message is so important there. >> he also made an interesting point. on the 24-hour news cycle, take a look. >> the problem with 24-hour news cycle, it's built for a very particular thing. the problem is how do you keep people watching it? o.j. is not going to kill someone every day. so that's gone. what do you have to do? you have to elevate the passion of everything else that happe
