thomas did not have enough. the irish moves on to the final four. the nfl meetings and the first public statement from seann. he said he heard the talk that bounties have been going on in the nfl for some time but that is no excuse. and've heard that argument i think trying to look closely at how we and how i can improve has been probably a better way for me to handle this them to kind of look outwardly of the other programs and i've tried to take that approach. >> talking with bill parcells about possibly being the interim coach. the orioles continue their exhibition season against the blue jays. a chance to see the japanese left-hander. three innings and four runs. he did have a strikeout. the bullpen got lit up -- got hit hard. 4-0 twins. the bird's got just one hit and here is in the eighth. rips into right-center. the twins with the perfect relay. and andy know tagged out at third -- and andino tagged out. maryland was one of the top eight teams in the country. no shame in that. we have been working too hard. >> coming up, a propane tank tries to cross a bridge. it got stuck. >> a texas couple gets bo

sean: tonight on our great, great panel, peter johnson, jr. is back. two time emmy working actor, murphy brown. jay thomas is here. angela mcgowan is here.eren't involved in this discussion you were fighting about this. but we all made peace before the show. you argued you were diagnostic this issue of derek bell. issue of the hug. >> on another channel. >> sean: we had the guys on breitbart. i was trying to explain this. a hug, that is it? this is guy who said model in life he is going to follow is to live harass white people. he called other professors white boys receiving tenure. he praised an anti-semite and a racist by the name of louis farrakhan. he is radical? >> yes. >> tenured professor in harvard. >> sean: first african-american tenured professor at harvard. when you look at alinsky, acorn and ayers and this is another radical in obama's life? >> i said this earlier. she got angry at me. if i were a black man, i would be very angry. i would see discrimination on a daily basis. >> i didn't get angry for making that statement. you said you people -- that is when i told you. >> i said to you and bill maher, you people. >> let's ge

. >> sean: my point in playing that, juan is not to bring up old tape. it happened to herman cain and it happened to clarence thomas doesn't stop. why doesn't the liberal media, why aren't liberals outraged at these attacks that happen routinely to african-americans. i could spend the whole night playing a tape on this? >> i remember once being on the show on this network, i was going at it with liberal black guy, all of a sudden, he says i'm a black porch monkey. i understand the depth of insult. it was incredible. i think the heart and soul that star was picking up earlier. when you look at why the liberal allow this rhetoric to take place, it's because they understand that they control the black vote. that is why i think they went after herman cain the way they did. herman cain knows there are black people out there that are socially conservative that is open to hearing another message. if you think about education, the fact that almost half of the black and his panic kids in the country don't make it through high school, wouldn't you think the civil rights leadership would be marching down the street demanding

thomas and four liberals. that's at stake in this next election! everything is there. there is no reason to panic. >> sean: i don't know. look, he's a well-respected writer. i have enjoyed watching his commentary over the years. i know you probably have. but we are looking at a weak incumbent. he was found 43%, averaging around 44%. if you look at his approval, right track/wrong track, if you look at the approval on the signature legislation, health care, you know, these are not the numbers of a very strong incumbent. they are the numbers of a weak incumbent. >> sean, you know, a couple of months ago, obamma was so low in the poll, even the keenians was saying he was born in the united states -- >> sean: you come on this network, looking for trouble. just right out of the box. but go ahead. >> that's a joke. today! the gallup poll has mitt romney at 50-46 over obama. it has santorum running about dead even. why in heaven's name would you write this off? this happened, sean, after 20 debates and all of these rough super pac attack ads and all the rest of it, and the republicans are up against obama now. i
