he was found to be unpatriotic and the communist among other things, although i take your point. i raise that because the part of martin luther king we do not want to deal with is his critique of american foreign policy. what to keep him in the state of being a dreamer. we now have monuments of him. president obama goes to celebrate the monument with every other speaker, and no one wanted to draw attention to where he stood on a question of war and peace, so even when you have a great american, an iconic american, i think the greatest american ever produced, and martin luther king, we don't want to talk about the foreign policy. the point i am getting to is that the american people do not want to wrestle with those issues. this is not just historical with dr. king, who they did not want to wrestle with about foreign policy, let's bring it to today. i cannot count the number of times by on airplanes, and i know the flight attendants are well-meaning, but it always gets me when it was as to give a round of applause to the military personnel sitting on the plane. i notice many times

citizenship because of your tax forms to me is unpatriotic. >> it's more than just paperwork. the benefit and the luxury of living in this country, when it's time to pay up. you move on. that is much like the secret service. >> people who are following -- >> thank you. >> people who are leaving are ceos, companie companies who rue companies. it's not just the 1800 people two left but those people employing hundreds of thousands of people and taking those companies -- >> you're right. the other problem, if we are the highest, we have the highest corporate tax rate in the world. which we do. >> but many companies get around that. >> wait a minute. i find this interesting. the president upset about the buffett rule that doesn't apply to him and he uses every tax loophole he can find including gifting his daughters. >> this design in 2010 to close the hole for people offshore $1 trillion of money overseas. >> this is -- >> we have created additional incentive. we have the highest corporate tax rate in world, that means that there are friendlier business environments for rich peopl

he called george bush unpatriotic for $4 trillion in debt in 8 years. what is your reaction to the debt number? >> lthe debt number is alarming. and gives you great concern, of course, because we are, we are moving toward the greek-type numbers. my guess is at the democratic convention, he will not be appearing in front of columns like in denver. he won't want to re-mind people of greece. this administration is adding debt at an alarming debt and that has the potential to send our economy into a tailspin, at some point, but it certainly has the very real risk of causing the next generation not to be able to realize the american dream because of the debt and the interest they will be paying off in their lifetimes. >> sean: do you want to deal with the dog story? hua dog named shanas. after this came out, it's like the sandra fluke controversy and the comments that were made about your wife. tell bus your dog. and what did you think the revelation that it went viral. in the president's book, he admitted eating dog when he was growing up in indonesia and g

if it was unpatriotic then over an eight-year period and you have done more of the in three, that's awe problem. >> i'm glad, sean, you don't have any -- >> you have 700,000 people out of work. >> one at a time. go ahead. brad, can i ask you this? another slamdown line last night. because he has failed, he will run a campaign of diversions, distractions, and distortions. that kind of campaign may have worked in another place at a different time, but not here and now. now, your man doesn't have his own policies. all he does is slam. he slams paul ryan, mitt romney, splamz the supreme court. you know what i'm getting at. a very negative campaign. i don't think that's going to work. and romney challenged him on that very effectively. >> it's working so far. president up 49-45 over romney, up in the battleground states. i don't know what you're saying won't work. what won't work, going back to the policies that failed us before. mitt romney run as an economic wonder kin. what is he proposing that's different? >> let's look at the last three years. >> i'm going to let sean go ahead. >> if we

in fact, the last time was in washington, the supreme court upheld the e-verify law against the unpatriotic challenge of the chamber and the obama administration. because most provisions of sb-1070 are in effect it accidents of arizona are safer. according to phoenix law enforcement association which represents rank and file police officers and i quote, since sb-1070 phoenix experienced a 30-year low crime rate, 600 police vacancies, budget and cuts and policing strategies did not bring about falling crime rates. sb-1070 did. deterrence factor of the legislation brought about was clearly instrument until our unpr unpru unprecedented drop in crime. all of this without a single civil rights racial profiling or

i am amazed how over the years we have become unpatriotic. i remember in the 1990s, bush saying that efficiency was bad for the economy and their go to jobs. how do we get to the point where we don't have politicians or folks in the media willing to stand up and say, wait a minute, efficiency, sustainability, what art alternatives we have? >> i think we need to expand the conversation beyond the confines of this room. every opportunity that you have when you are listening on the radio and talk shows, they raise these issues to expand the conversation. you are absolutely right. there is a complete mindset that we should not be sustaining things and that it's not necessarily good. it means taking the conversation back and not retreating, and joining with the community again. we, unfortunately, have lost that sense of responsibility to one another in a community sense. that really has to be restored. we can only do it, each of us, by taking a couple of steps. >> i just want to make a cautionary note about efficiency. we managed to really consume

in fact, the last time was in washington, the supreme court upheld the e-verify law against the unpatriotic challenge of the chamber and the obama administration. because most provisions of sb-1070 are in effect it the citizens of arizona are safer. according to phoenix law enforcement association which represents rank and file police officers and i quote, since sb-1070 phoenix experienced a 30-year low crime rate, 600 police vacancies, budget and cuts, and old policing strategies did not bring about these falling crime rates. sb-1070 did. the deterrence factor this legislation brought about is clearly unprecedented in our drop in crime. all of this without a single civil rights racial profiling or biased police complaint. simply put, sb-1070 has clearly worked. arizona has acted within its authority. the supreme court has held the states can utilize their inherent police powers to enforce immigration laws. sb-1070 directs arizona law enforcement officers to cooperate and communicate with federal authorities regarding enforcement of federal immigration laws imposed as penalties and arizona

virginia contemplated an evening out with a union officer, but was unwilling to risk being marked as unpatriotic by other young women. she wrote this -- this was in her memoirs. it was oftentimes hard to resist and required all the loyalty i could bring to bare to do so. in one evening union officer asked her to go on a sleigh ride with him, suggesting that if she was afraid, she could wear a veil over her face so she could go unrecognized. riley responded to the officer that "my conscience would be behind that veil." of course, turned him down. it certainly became even more of a test of their allegiance. riley mentioned this in her memoirs. it was a severe test of my loyalty and devotion to my country to be able to resist my enemies when i might have enjoyed so many privileges dear to a young girl's heart. now, mingling with soldiers from their same socioeconomic class often created conflicting feelings towards the enemies, and this was where we start to see their hearts kind of soften a little bit. living in richmond after occupation maria smith peak expressed disgust at the idea of living in

they imply individuals who organize are corrupt and unpatriotic. oh my gosh. but when the business band together and make huge contributions now thanks to the supreme court ruling that you can make unlimited amount of contributions, well, that's commerce. that's a way of building business. the political attackers want to you value our voice by calling us names and they do that all the time. in the health care area, it is difficult to organize at least private sector nurses and health care workers, and it's really harder to organize in public sector also. because these are basically dominated by women. and it's very hard and difficult. such places as oakwood health care in upstate new york, where employers have tried to circumvent bargaining rights by giving nurses charged and responsibilities and calling it supervisors. but yet they still work as nurses. of course in teaching i can tell you that for the last few years, teacher unions have been bashed all over this country. teachers have been blamed for everything from why the grass doesn't grow to why children

the fact began to resent the fact that blockade running was fast degenerating into an illicit and unpatriotic trade. with unconscious irony -- i love this passage -- confederate planters complained that the fabulous profits made by blockade runners were enriching a small class of moneyed men at the top of the income scale. imagine that, small class of wealthy men making decisions for the whole society. what may planters think of that? the richmond inquirer decried the unbecoming vanity displayed by the elaborate wardrobes of the richest merchants unsuitable for a nation fighting for its survival. the way to curtail this disgrace ful extravagance was for the government to regulate all trade. this, of course, flew directly in the face of that doctrine's state rights, but the weakening confederate economy led to a popular clamor for the richmond government to take over the trade entirely. in february of 1864, jefferson davis got the confederate congress to pass a law that required all outbound blockade runners to reserve half of their cargo space for government-owned cotton. and a month later, h

he said he was unpatriotic. he will not have created one single job. have lost between 500,000 to million jobs. how does he make the case or can he make the case that he deserves four more years? >> he can't make that case. he has to make the case against romney. if you focus on obama. obama took over a recession. i took over bad economic times. four years later, unemployment was twice as much. deficit was three times as much. they would have thrown me out of office. that is basically what happened here. he took over, unemployment is worse, the deficit is higher than it's been under all other presidents combined. our economy is trying desperately to recover and i can't because it's being set on by obama's policies of redistribution and useless regulations of most of our major industries. he is the reason we don't create jobs in this country. >> sean: he only has one option left. that is to run a negative campaign which he has already started. >> look at axelrod, republican reign of terror, come on. and they are talking about a civil campaign and we hav

this might be my whacky crazy there is hastings again being unpatriotic and what not but i personallyt at the speech, listening to this -- the guggenheim documentary, i just thought it was a little unseemly. and maybe they are right. maybe everyone is going to get excited about it. >> you are outliving me on that one. because i rather enjoyed when they killed bin laden but i'm kind of a bad guy. one more thing, michael here. it is really ironic because george w. bush was the one guy that seemed to take advantage of a foreign policy situation. iraq was going so poorly he said don't switch horses in midstream, because i screwed this up so royally, let me finish otherwise we're all in trouble. >> the second bush played foreign policy and politics almost worse than anyone else. i -- i completely agree with that. and i think the best bet for president obama as you say, maybe remind them of bin laden and hope everyone forgets about afghanistan come november 6th. >> yes, because the republicans offered to stay longer in afghanistan. and the american people don't like the afghanistan war at a

he called the use of that word war bordering on unpatriotic, which is amazing since the party he is the has accused president obama from waging war on everything from coal to mexico and to women. the campaign for the party's likely presidential nominee is accusing president obama of waging war on war don dioxide to free enterprise to the catholic church. the national republican party has decided using the word war in a political metaphor is offensive to them all of a sudden. today the republican's bad messaging on the whole war on women thing got even worse. today the top republican in the united states senate, minority leader addressed the war on women charge in an appearance on a local radio show in his home state of kentucky. listen. >> talk about a manufactured issue. there is no issue senator kay bailey hutchison and susan collins and olympia snowe from main and lisa mur cow ski, we don't see any evidence of this. >> mitch mcconnell calling it a manufactured issue and if you don't believe it, ask a lady republican. ask senator kay bailey hitchison about this. ask her. >> planned pa

>> is that unpatriotic to attack fellow americans. >> when he says to voters is that you're not doingetter because these people are doing too well -- that's the kind of mentality. >> your party and the vigt not really a american, some guy in a snuck in the country, really after -- >> what does that have to do -- >> he's a fellow american, they have been attacking this guy for years now, and now they say he attacks fellow americans. >> look, the whole campaign -- all of the birthers out there, he is an american. >> what does it mean to say i know the president likes to attack, not that he is pugnacious, but he likes to attack fellow americans. >> this is going to be a campaign that divides america from mitt romney, he is trying to take a polarized country, make it a polarized race, and he figures he has a coin toss chance of winning it, but he also have a record to defend, and the obama campaign is exquisite -- >> how did the dallas cowboys get to be america's team? he says he is america's candidate. >> those people are doing too well. >> everybody should have the same opportunity isn'

if i call the president unpatriotic, what would you say to me, lenny?> i think that was a horrible statement made by barack obama -- >> by the way, on mic in this case. >> most important failure of barack obama, and i'm going to vote for him, but the failure for him to address the $16 trillion debt that my children and grandchildren are going to have to pay. what he said about president bush and credit cards was correct then. he has forgotten those words today and he could lose the election on this issue alone because democrats like me, president clinton democrats, think the debt is a moral issue he is ignoring, unfortunately, and shouldn't be. >> we have just a short amount of time. liz, we want 20 send again our best regards to your dad and hope he has a speedy recovery. >> thanks. >> i am going to go fishing with both of you. i am going to offer my service. >> you're welcome. i want to endpy agreeing with what flynn said. on the issue of the debt and irresponsible spending, president obama is likely to lose the election. >> and next we kick off our m

he said it's borderline unpatriotic for anyone to use war as a political metaphor. and, yes, mr. spicer is the spokesman for the republican party. that's their website right there. headlining one of the many wars that they have declared concerning president obama. in this case, the war on coal. so that was strike two. the next batter up to the plate was the top republican in the senate, mitch mcconnell. >> talk about a manufactured issue. there is no issue. senator kay bailey hutchison and kelly ayotte and susan collins and olympia snowe from maine and we don't see any evidence of this. >> the problem with rebutting the whole war on women thing saying it's manufactured, these women that you're citing might agree with you on it. but the problem is the woman when who say agree with him on this do not agree with him on this. >> if you do not agree this as an attack on women, you need to go home and talk to your wives, talk to your daughters. ask them if they feel that this is an attack. >> so at this point we have three strikes, which under normal circumstances would mean the end, i

>> is that unpatriotic to attack fellow americans?> what it means that the president's rhetoric where he says to voters, the reason you're not doing better is because these people over here are doing too well. it's this kind of mentality -- >> being villainized as not an american, as some guy snuck in the country? he's a fellow american. republicans have been attacking this guy personally and viciously for years now. and then he says, well, he attacks walmart. wh what does your crowd do? >> he's an american. >> what does it mean to say, i know the president likes to attack, not that he's pugnacious like i am, but he likes to attack fellow americans. what does that mean? >> it's very obvious what he's trying to do. this is going to be a campaign that divides america from mitt romney. he's trying to make a polarized america and make it a polarized race. he figures he's got a coin's toss chance of winning it. the problem is he's also got a record he has to defend and is they're even more exquisite. >> he sdoes the same thing. i'm america

in the last campaign, he said that george bush was unpatriotic and irresponsible because of $4 trillion in debt. he has $5 trillion in new obama debt in less than four years in office. his allies are talking about a war on women. all of those distractions that he is involved -- i think nothing meet this is standard, that republicans want dirty air and dirty water. that's their plan. then he said this... >> who are these americans? many are someone's grandparents, who without medicaid won't be able to afford nursing home care without medicaid. many are poor children. some are middle-class families who have children with autism, or down's syndrome. some are kids with disabilities so severe they require 24-hour care. these are the people who count on medicaid. >> sean: then he went on to say, they have to fend for themselves. you know, if you are willing to say that, republicans want dirty air and -- he sounds like a host on ms-nbc, senator. [chuckles] >> they practically -- he practically is. but let me say, there was a famous heavyweight champion, joe lewis. he was fighting a great boxer

republican national spokesman said the use of word war, that quote borders on unpatriotic.n mexico to yes, war on women. it is a little rich they have now decided anybody using the word war in a political context is a traitor. if the republican party chairman is really bad at talking about this, and he is, and if the republican party chief paid talker, their spokesman is really bad at talking about this, and he is, i'm going to go out on a caterpillar leafy limb and suggest a new spokesperson on this issue who is good at talking about it. it turns out she is really good about talking about the republican war on women. really good. like sit down, pay attention. this is good. >> i think for women around this country, what they were sensing was that after decades of believing that the issue of contraception and women's access to contraception, that we had resolved that decades ago. now all of a sudden this is not only discussion in congress but you've got presidential wannabes that are talking about whether contraception is good, bad, indifferent, wrong. i think what you're se
