i watched sarah palin. what really -- everybody is sick and tired of all the bad mouthing of each other. instead of saying what they're going to do, they just sit around and cut each other for what they have done wrong. i do not think that is the issue. i think the issue is what they are going to do for us. i see a lot of racism going 9 and dad is a sad thing. our country -- i see a lot of racism going on and that is a sad thing. host: he writes that at times, she sounded like a candidate, at times, she did not. john has this point, artware page. but this point on our twitter page. carry on the democrats' line from miami, florida. caller: i do not think sarah palin should run because all the people that she is talking to our old people. she is like drugs to those people because they are old and they do not see where the country is going. she should stay out of it. she should stop trying to make the other party insufficient. host: thank you for the call. caller: i must be one of the old, stupid people. i am

i will say this about sarah palin.n she attacks someone for being part of the permanent political class, she's got lots of standing, she left that class before her job was even over. >> we love playing paleontologists, i acknowledge it. is it possible that what motivates her is that she regards herself as the mother of the tea party movement? and the idea -- >> as the queen-maker. >> and the idea that the support from the tea party could so quickly go to rick perry, who is a newbie in this regard, she can't take that. >> i think there's a poll out today on another network, which will go unnamed, that says that 71% of republicans, republicans, do not want her to run for president. >> but it doesn't matter to her. >> it may not matter to her. >> but she could get in the race and she could see her standing, even with the tea party folks fall, which would be less money and maybe less power for her. >> i still say it never happens. david corn, thank you as always, michelle bernard, appreciate seeing both of you. >>> up next

a >>> sarah palin is threatening to sue author joe mcginnis and his publisher for the new controversial book "the rogue." in a letter obtained by abc news, palin's lawyer says "the book contains a series of lies and rumors presented as fact and combined with anonymous sources." this friday, a new film, "sarah palin you betcha" opens in new york, los angeles and san francisco. the 90 minute film is director nick broomfield's quest to find the real sarah palin, with a hopeful first encounter with the former governor. >> hi there, what's your name? >> nick. >> nick, nice so meet you. heck yeah. >> i was. i might go back and do a documentary. i was wondering if you could -- >> i'll betcha ifantastic. >> do you have a card? >> i'll leave one here. i'll contact you when i'm in wasilla. thank you. >> palin watchers will not be surprised that she never did grant that interview, but others did >> on sbept 13th the church where sarah palin has gone for six years is having a pray away the gay -- >> did people in the church make -- when the mayor of your town is saying that they don't like you, the

people began to peer sarah palin. if you get on the wrong side of sarah, she's going to hurt you. she and todd, they will come at you. they will find a way to get back. people begin to live in fear. wasilla had never seen anything like this before, and it was actually, within months of her election, there was a meeting held in the city to discuss a recall petition to recall her. people realized what a mistake they have made. however, she did moderate to a degree and was elected easily, reelection to a second term. but the way she tried to impose her will and her personality on every aspect of city life leads people looking back at it and saying, phrases were used by half a dozen people who said, when sarah was mayor that was a reign of terror, because you got on the wrong side of her and you were in trouble. you know, not exactly a happy place. >> joe mcginniss is the author of the federal books -- of several books. is news is released today called "the rogue: searching for the real sarah palin." mr. mcginniss, did you witness any of that fear firsthand when you are living up ther

the word is that sarah palin is about to go after perry as well. it's not easy being the front-runner. democrats and republicans alike are taking it to cantor to say that fema money for hurricane victims has to be offset by spending cuts elsewhere. and the new jobs report, no new jobs created. as we head into labor day weekend, some say let's remember who got us here. george w. bush and dick cheney. and finally, let me finish tonight with the catch 22 of the republican party. anyone conservative enough to be nominated might be unelectable. and anyone moderate enough to be elected can't get nominated. we start with the disrespect shown towards president obama. roger simon is chief political columnist for politico and ron reagan is a political commentator. i want to show you something from "the new york times" that ran today. it says this. american presidents often have highly disagreeable relations stem from deep policy divides, the relentless acrimony between president obama and congressional republicans also seems strikingly personal, almost petty

she said right next door to todd and sarah palin in. i said this is my lucky day. i drove up the next day to look at the house and moved in the following weekend. >> host: what was their reaction? >> guest: they were not happy. they were not happy at all. they knew who was writing a book about sarah i have already published an article in portfolio magazine about her failed attempt to build the alaska gas pipeline and that the seven '08 hurt considerably but i expected they would be mature about it. the third day i was there i was on my porch early evening and todd came walking to the fence and said were you doing here? who were you and whether you doing here? oddly enough todd and sarah had rented the same house 3-d previous fall then decided they did not want to pay $3,000 per month so they canceled the rancho levying mrs. taylor looking for a new tenant and that was me. he said i do not like this because you are writing a book about my wife now i am worried about our privacy. will you have a long lens camera looking over the fence taking pictures and putting in m

>> host: did you write the book that sarah palin feared you would? >> guest: i don't know that she had fear. i don't know that sarah really has fearment i think that she feels protected by divine forces. she said, god opens the doors for me. anybody who thinks that god is their doorman doesn't have to worry about merely a guy who writes books. >> host: joe mcginniss is the author of this book being released today, coapt 20th, "the rogue: searching for the real sarah palin." he joinsbooktv from new york. thank you, joe mcginniss. glg thank you, peter. >> booktv's visit to charlotte, north carolina continues. next, we talk about press 53 publishing with founder, editor, and chief kevin morgan watson. >> we'll celebrate the 5th anniversary this october. it's a small literary publishing company based out of winston-salem, north carolina. we publish short story, collections, novels, memoirs, and we ignore american trends. i don't publish what i think the market wants. i find literature that i like, that i love, and i put it out there and find people who ag

i will say this about sarah palin.s being part of the permanent political class, she has lots of standing because she left that before her job was even over. >> let me ask, we love playing palintologists. trying to figure out what motivates her. is it possible what motivates her is because she regards herself as the mother of the tea party movement? >> and the queenmaker. >> the idea the support from the tea party could so quickly go to rick perry a newby in this regard, she can't take that? >> there's a poll out today on another network, which will go unnamed that says that 71% of republicans, of republicans, do not want her to run for president. >> but it doesn't matter. >> it doesn't matter to her. >> it doesn't matter. >> she can get in the race and see her standing even with the tea party folks fall, which would be less money and maybe less power for her. >> this >> this divide and conquer. she will split the tea party vote, and all of this will be wonderful for mitt romney. >> listen, dick cheney weighed in on sa

is she perpetuating sarah palin, the brand? sarah palin, the author, sarah palin the speaker?g to get out there because she's considering herself as a candidate and running for the presidency of the united states? >> i worked full time in a presidential campaign and i've been following this for a long, long time. she ought to be out there by now. it's almost too late at this point. if you want to be a candidate for the presidency, in a race with other candidates for delegates. primaries coming up in iowa and new hampshire, that's serious business. you have to have a full-time staff out. be on the campaign trail every single day and you have to do more than make speeches. >> karen, he makes that point. does that mean that sarah palin, unless she has this in place, she can't be running with the presidency? >> well, part it you have to have the infrastructure in place, it's about physically an work, campaigning, phone banking. there is no evidence to suggest that's what she's doing. the more i think about it, in all seriousness. >> we're on the same page, isn't that great, karen?

this is stalking and harassment. >> sarah palin and glenn beck.oe mcginniss. he's written "rogue searching for the real sarah palin". >> that's outrageous. that's irresponsible. he doesn't know what he's talking about, but he's using the language to describe me that has nothing to do with the reality. he's accusing me of crimes, stalking is a crime. he has no right to do that. >> i suppose his point is i can't think of a single high profile author ever who has rented a house next to their subject for months on end. it's a bit weird, isn't it? >> i think it's pretty wonderful. >> well, you would. you're the one who did it. it is a bit weird. >> i don't think it's weird. it would have been weird if i had said no. the lady calls -- i was about to sign a lease on an apartment in anchorage. 6:00 on a thursday night in may. i get a call from a woman i don't know at 3:00 that afternoon. she says i have a house in wasilla -- >> i know the story. but you didn't have to take it. >> i would have been crazy not to. that would have been journalistic malpractic

now, sarah palin was not directly tied to gabrielle giffords. certainly not trying to paint a connection there, but some of the e-mails that i got last summer after sarah made these preposterous accusations about me were so filled with hate, so filled with threats of violence, that it was -- it was a very educational experience. i could see what that anger can do when it's expressed by people on the right wing, most of whom have gonuns, and believe americs have the right to use this. >> what do you make of her after this? you must have a sense of her. does she believe all this right wing religion of her, that christians should have dominion over america, some sort of theocracy? >> yeah. >> does she buy into that or is that show business or what? >> that's at the heart of her whole political career. that's what got here into politics in wasilla in the first place. she was in a prayer group led by a woman named mary glazier, just as a house wife in wasilla, and mary said that one day the lord came to the prayer group and selected sarah for politica

sarah palin is a person that can walk like a duck and sound like a duck but may not be a duck. lin did go farther than she has before and trying to outline some broad policy proposals that she would implement if she runs and becomes president. among them, eliminating all corporate taxes, sarah palin famously raised taxes on oil, industry in alaska when she was governor. she's proposing to eliminate them. she was saying the loss revenue by eliminating the taxes would be made up for by closing loopholes in the federal tax code, also by decreasing federal regulations and revealing -- repealing obama care. she did sound like a candidate in a lot of ways. >> some gop candidates, they also raise mammoth amounts of cash. we need to ask them too, what, if anything, do their donors expect in return for their investments. we need to know this. our country can't afford more trillion dollar thank you notes to campaign backers. >> you heard sarah palin right there, not mentioning any of her potential republican rivals, but palin sources, you know, have pretty much made clear that that commen

what is the reason that we talk about sarah palin?what gives her that on-stage, i guess they call it sparkle, pizzazz, charisma? what is that thing in her that gets people interested in her? >> well, she's a natural-born entertainer, chris. you know, she has charisma. she can deliver a great speech to the proper audience, as long as someone writes it for her, and she's capable of saying just about anything at any time. so this unpredictability, we watch her as if we watch someone walking across a tightrope, wondering if they're ever going to get to the other side. >> well, you quote several people in the book, throughout the book, as saying, that they push hard to get what they want. in fact, you write palin learned this from her father, chuck heath. you write, "they were bullies, essentially that's what sarah and her cohorts are today. she learned from her father. if someone disagrees with you or does something that you don't like, annihilate first, ask questions later. like chuck says, like chuck, she's all about intimidation and fe

zeven more profitable core sarah palin supports the privatization of the commons but in this new populist incarnation she just says doesn't she doesn't like how it's done the backroom deals the political contributions the quid pro quos but considering that we live in a democracy or at least did before the supreme court citizens united decision in bribing politicians is the only way for corporations to get preferential treatment or at least the easy preferred way after all a vast majority of americans sarah palin excluded are opposed to the crony capitalism of taxpayer subsidies to oil corporations yet vote after vote politicians keep the corporate welfare spigot open to the tune of tens of billions of dollars for the likes of exxon mobil and chevron. again the vast majority of americans again sort of pale excluded pale in excluded think it's an outrage that billionaires like warren buffet pay a lower tax rate than their secretaries do thanks to the capital gains tax loopholes yet vote after vote politicians keep the tax breaks alive for america's wealthiest hedge fund managers and sure th

joining me now to discuss what sarah palin is really up to, the man who can read sarah palin's mind,n. eugene, she keeps playing this game and playing it well enough to fool, i don't know, the critical number that allows "the new york times" today to say "ms. palin did not say whether she would run." come on. gene, help me here. >> lawrence, i'm with you. i've been with you. she's not running for anything. she's not running for office. she doesn't like holding office, she held office, remember, she was governor of alaska. she quit, it was too much of a hassle. she's not running for president, yet she continues this -- this, you know, dangling the possibility and there's always a gullible few, i think, who are willing to believe, who kind of buy into the fantasy that palin, palin for president. i don't see it now, i never see it. >> gene, roger ailes has helped us greatly with this, he instituted the policy at fox news that if you're thinking about running for president, even before declaring, you have to get off my payroll. she and mike huckabee stayed on the payroll. therefore, tell
