and we know that there was racism involved, that there was sexism involved.eople were given loans that they didn't really understand and maybe were misrepresented to them. so the reason they didn't understand them, it was being hidden from them. people were taking out subprime loans or high cost loans when they qualified for conventional loans. >> exactly. qul and all >> and all of this has been well documented. so the proportion of individuals who have lost their home is high. and it seems to have happened at just the worst time, when we were finally getting a foothold. >> let me ask you a question. what do you say to the people on the right who say that this was a product of simple irresponsibility, that poor people got more house than they could afford, their eyes were bigger than their financial stomachs and the reason why they're homeless and foreclosed upon now is not because of corporate malfeasance but because they just didn't act responsibly? >> well, the facts are that we have documented evidence that there was rampant fraud. the justice department

my own age or adults like she mentioned about things like domestic violence, sex, suicide, racism, sexism, social justice, bullying, things that you know about as a teen but don't know how they are called and don't know how to talk to other people about them. when a teammate of mine, one of the captains of the football team killed himself in high school, peer resources was a place i could go to where i had support and talk to support, where i could learn to talk to other people about this and this is before wellness septemberers were around and peer resources was the place. at lincoln, i get incredible things, horrible things and wonderful things, but mostly, i feel confident that i have the skills now as a teacher, peer resources teacher because i was a part of the program and because i benefited from it. i'm happy to be back as a teacher, fourth year at lincoln high school and glad to have wonderful students as well. >> i supported in creating united players with my facilitation skills in the 1994 riots. so i believe that schools are here to give you options and peer resources has given

racism and sexism aren't acceptable. all the advertisers leaving rush limbaugh are making a very big statement. i'm joined by eric boehlert, and holland cook, talk radio consultant, been in the business for some 30 years. holland, i got to ask you, is this a sea change, is this temporary or is it permanent? what is on the horizon? >> every shock jock goes a word too far at some point and until now it seemed like rush limbaugh had nine lives, but i got to tell you, radio stations are nervous. i swapped e-mails with a guy who runs a group of radio stations and has rush limbaugh on some of them, and he says he's considering switching to that new mike huckabee show which is going to debut head-to-head against rush limbaugh 12:00 to 3:00 eastern. that is syndicated by the media which owns the biggest radio stations rush limbaugh is on. imagine rush losing wabc new york, wls chicago, and major stations in detroit, dallas, washington, that would be a death blow to his show on the scope we know it now. he'll probably always be o

and, folks, these accusations of sexism are totally unfair to rush. just ask rush. >> you hocan i be anti-women? i even judged the miss america pageant. >> stephen: yes! what more does he have to do, judge playmate of the year? ( applause ) plus, rush is just exercising his right to free speech. and while it is shocking that rush would exercise anything, this is america. we must defend the principle symbolized by lady liberty, unless she's on the pill, whichn which case she is a giant, green tramp. oh, she'll lift her lamp and open her golden door for anybody. your tired, your poor, and not just one-on-one. she'll take on huddled masses. everybody line up for a peek under her toga. the real victim-- the real victim here is rush. this whole birth control controversy started with that georgetown law student, sandra fluke. whose testimony was no fluke. >> jim, tonight we're going to connect the dots for you. >> follow me here. president obama on the ropes with the economy and specifically with women voters, gets mrs. fluke to create a controversy, and th

[inaudible] sexism, regionalism, we can go on and on with the isms. i am the oldest granddaughter of james leon, he is a monster fighting and so am i. that comes from southern tales of supernatural. a porch lie is not a mean or vicious lie, it is a story of exaggeration and humor. the one that loretta told you about, cake lawrence. all the people that knew him called him cake, he used to steal the warm cake that his mother put out. he would cut a slice and run off to the crawl space. they call him cake. i use that in my story. those 2 come from my grandmother, she was the germ, the seed of those 2 books and many others. let's go back to that front porch again. this time daddy james is the story teller. we sit at his feet and listen about stories about sara and pat and nollen. that is my brother, my sister, and me. we thought we were just as clever and smart and just as brave as the children in his story. he told stories vaguely familiar, but different some how because he told them his way. you see, i had no idea my grandfather was a functional illiter

one of the things to the benefit of sarah palin is that she, to my mind, has been the victim of sexism. we've lived in a patriarchal world. a sexist country. some of the push back has been -- and because she is a woman. hillary clinton got some of the same stuff. rick perry in a male's body proved to the same thing that sarah palin proved which is even though your governor, you can be in over your head when it comes to national politics. it is clear that she is not in over her head because she is a woman or governor. you can be over your head. i ask this question, what did you learn about how so over her head she was? how can the people in alaska have ever elected her? the same thing about rick perry. >> i only know about her and i do not know anything about rick perry. in alaska, she was very popular. 80% popularity, had taken on the oil companies and one tax rebates to everybody in the state. $1,200 per person because she had raised taxes on an oil company. she fought corruption, was very popular. that was the world within she was functioning. i think once she was shoved onto the nat

a lot of literature that i read, they talk about the male chauvinism and sexism. they talk about they were at the fore front, but can you address that? if you have time, address what was talked about concerning the shooting at ucla that was really, you know, that we need really get into, that it was a mixup, you know, i may be mixed up. >> yes, those are two important and tough questions. on the issue of chauvinism within the black panther party, it had to do with where you were, and so i can't deny any experience that a sister said she had in the black panther party, but i have to say in new york and a lot of places on the east coast and boston where sister audrey was in charge, you know, when erika was up in connecticut, and new york sisters like fannie, we didn't have that, you know? the sister struggle, the sisters would call you on it, the sisters made the brothers like when we thought we were too busy, i got an sometime -- an assignment for you, change the diapers and hold the babies. everywhere it was, sisters introduced the conversation into the black comm

t sexism. it's why we're only recently hearing about the strong powerful leadership of women in the movement. baltimore was a hot bed. it wasn't as if when you think about the large on washington, you think of traditionally the big six leaders, you think of a. phillip randolph, martin luther king, the urban league, naacp, but on that day, the only women present were dr. dorothy hite and mahalia jackson. and that day would not have occurred beginning in its planning all the way to 1963 without women involved in the planning. but they weren't allowed to speak on the day. baltimore didn't have that same issue. baltimore and maryland are an exception. women were not only -- even that first letter that we heard when they were talking about how they were going to plan the membership drive and asking specifically for a female secretary. well, that's generally where often these major national organizations wantedo remain as a secretary, as a person pouring the coffee, person doing the leg work to organ

it's about sexism, about that prejudice. we have to address it, it has to be changed. we can do that by not shopping at those particular places or going with those kinds of people. >> i necessarily wear deodorant and -- >> take out a mortgage, and i will still get a refi on my mortgage. >> yeah. >> next on, right guard. >> hmm! >> there you go. >> thank you both. very funny commentary this morning. guys, thanks. >>> up next, 25 secrets to paying for college. try zyrtec® for powerful allergy relief. and zyrtec® is different than claritin® because it starts working faster on the first day you take it. zyrtec®. love the air. then don't get nickle and dimed by high cost investments and annoying account fees. at e-trade, our free easy-to-use online tools and experienced retirement specialists can help you build a personalized plan. and with our no annual fee iras and a wide range of low cost investments, you can execute the plan you want at a low cost. so meet with us, or go to etrade.com for a great retirement plan with low cost investments. ♪ when the doctor told me that

if you want to put down deviciveness, you want to put down sexism. you want to put down homofob you, you want to put down action against people and not giving them fair opportunity who is have physical or mental disabilities, then we are on the same team. if you want to put down ignorance of people who are supposed to be educated but don't act like it, then we are on the same team. my sisters, if you want to experience concepts like truth and justice for all, equality for all, fairness for all, then we are on the same team. we've been through the fire, my sisters. but one thing that is clear to us is that we are not going to go back because we are on the same team. if we're on the same team, then it seems to make sense that there is something we have to do. how do we do it in 2012 because we can't wait, as dr. martin luther king said, we cannot wait. it's time for us to do it now. so we cannot just get mad because as my friend gregory says, when we get angry, plain old anger can consume and destroy us. but if we are on the same team, there are things

from the sisters they talk about the male chauvinism and the sexism. they do talk about the forefront, but can you address that in a few of time and draws what geronimo pratt talked about the shooting at ucla that was really, you know, that we need to get into the divide, those really the next that -- >> those are two tough questions. let me say, i think that on the issue of chauvinism within the black panther party, a lot of it also had to do with where you were. and so, i can't deny any experience that his sister said she had in the black panther party. but i have to say in new york in a lot of places in the east code like in boston, you know, when erica hutchence was up in connecticut and new york with sisters didn't have that. you know, the sisters struggle, the sisters would call you on it. the sisters would make the brothers like what we thought we were too busy running around, come on i've got to help you out. sister struggled against that and introduce the black community to we didn't have before about sexism and male chauvinism. any of the sis

on their mosques because they know that inside of our mosques we have any ology that does sanction sexism violence and extremism now if it's the russian mafia and you know that there is hanging out somewhere you're going to target them based on issues of economics if it's a colombian drug cartel same issue if it's a blank panthers or if it's a white you know extremists you're going to do the same thing and so to take this kind of approach that you know we can't look at muslims or we can't look at certain ethnicities i think is very naive and doesn't take into account the really serious threat that we've got from within the muslim community but have we actually seen you know this threat materialize we hear about it a lot we had peter king hold hearings on capitol hill he's still doing it on homegrown radicalization and yet the same time you know the statistics don't necessarily back it up there's one for this is that i think peter king sort of already was that there's been twice as many sort of terror plots from nine muslims there been from muslims and eleven now i you know i certainly thi

. >> a lot of literature i've read the messages, they talk about male chauvinism and the sexism. they do talk about there at the forefront. and you address that. and if you have time address what geronimo talked about in the shooting at ucla that was really, you, that we need not really get into, that it was really a mixup, you know. not really a mixup, but one story. >> yes, those are two important and to tough questions. let me say, i think that on the issue of chauvinism within the black panther party, a lot of it also has to do with where you were. and so i can't deny any experience that he sister said that she had in the black panther party. but i have to say that in new york, at a lot of places on the east coast, like in boston where sister audrey was in charge, you know, when erika huggins was up in connecticut, and new york with sisters like fanny. we didn't have that. you know, the sisters struggle, the sisters would call you on. the sisters would make brothers like him without we are too busy running around, come here, i have an assignment for you. what? hold the baby,

do democrats let sexism slide when it comes from their side?s, bill maar is being tared for his past comments like calling sarah palin the the c-word during a stand up act. i wonder if there is a for instance. look at that. for instance, alabama democrats are using the realtime host for their fundraising, advertising an evening with bill maar. and jim gave tee notes, quote, if every republican office holder is expected to comment on and denounce rush limbaugh, why is not every office holder expected to comment on bill maar for using the c-word. anyway, you tbhoa is aware -- you mow who is aware of the rhetoric? sleeping humming bird. >> it is like a senatorring -- snoring bird. >> i loathe bill mar. i defended him in the past because i believe comedians have wide latitude. does that change if he is doing fundraising for a political party? >> aren't they all doing fundraising at a certain point, even if they are not headlining an event, isn't rush or anybody drumming up support in anyway they are doing it? >> but rush isn't getting a pass. bill

he's particularly known for his sexism.ed in my book is that he insulted sandra fluke 53 times. this was not an off the cuff remark. this was 53 times talking about her as a flat-out whore having too much sex. the worst thing that he did was he called her a feminot. something he has done throughout his career on all sorts of feminists. and i think it's about the worst thing he could say. i take it personally. i think what rush llimbaugh has done, he attacked women. he attacked feminists throughout his whole career and has done it in rude and crude ways. why are people all of a sudden upset about a few sexually related remarks when they should have been mad at rush for his bigotry all along. >> john wilson, author of "most dangerous man in america"." we appreciate you joining us. >> thank you. >> now when we come back, well, fox news and the rest of the crofts including rush llimbaugh, are attacking an american company. and who is standing up for that company? the president. >> five years from now when i'm not president any
