" They take -- prison Obama has been quite clear saying witness in the political discourse is hurting nation last night President Clinton picked up on. --"

" hard -- right wing of the Republican Party. Took over their party. In the late seventies. Did we become more of partisan and polarized. I remember I was kidding Newt Gingrich the other day you know we're out of politics wouldn't be nicer to each other. Maybe he once. We heard senator was tortured body and said you know the worst thing Trent -- ever said was that I was spoiled brat but -- once said that I was the enemy of normal Americans."

" This out boxes now a -- figure that's the affirmation Newt Gingrich who has a new dvd that is why. Called rediscovering god in America to. Our heritage so. This is now becoming a big deal this rudeness factor but you know I've been -- thirteen years and I guess on the poster boy for rudeness. I confess that on the problem here ladies and gentlemen -- but it might. What we try to do here is vigorous debate once and awhile we'll get a little rude when we feel that something is very very wrong. But I never heard all this stuff from the media or -- anybody else when they were -- livin' daylights bush and Cheney I don't how how warm room with those people getting them."

" When several dozen Democrats. Were -- President George W. Bush in the 2005 student union that was somehow not an appropriate. Because after all he deserved to be booed because he wasn't liberal. When Tip O'Neill set of Ronald Reagan he has ice water in his heart. Though somehow not an appropriate because -- Tip O'Neill. Was a lovely Irish liberal Democrat and therefore what he said must've just been okay. There's this weird double standards being. Acorn which is now become fairly famous is an organization dedicated to disruption which the president worked with very very closely. His Justice Department. Just dropped a case which they were winning. Against a group of left wing activist who were filmed. Brow beating an intimidating voters last year. So black panther case in Philadelphia Zach Braff saudis -- so as long as you -- left Winger. Violating the rules disrupting meetings imposing your will. Yelling at people saying bad things that's not."

" They have been okay but we never justify that behavior by pointing to bed move and -- we don't do that telling Joe Wilson I think you'll also made a mistake I didn't tell -- because it look. You win the debate in the long run and that's why we've been number one for almost nine years with the facts you -- not with the fact you don't win it by calling people names. You don't win it by disrupting and and being disrespectful to the present -- United States even administer them you don't do that. So will so -- his own cost but I have to submit to you. That is a lot of mean is going on. I think it's worse than it's ever been in the media -- nasty. Nasty stuff coming down on both sides. Well I I think --"

" the breakdown of the media and the rise of blogs rise of anybody wants to can write anything you want to -- has led a lot of people anonymously. To write a lot of hateful things because they can don't make and they composure well and it'll happen right but but let's -- Joe Wilson did was wrong and he has apologized. The best of my knowledge not a single one of the Democrats who booed president George W. Bush not a single -- Ever apologize I'm I'm listening in case there's a double standard absolutely everybody knows that now everybody -- I I wish we could get back to. And clear pattern of debate I have every time I go out on the road and -- situation -- Houston -- for example I've done some things with Howard Dean. Every time we're civil -- have a rational the kind of conversation you and I have. Audiences -- there there eager to have people who can disagree. Without being disagreeable."

" They all are but sometimes you half to and I do this probably too much confront. In outlook Barney Frank in the most famous recently on a factor -- money or implied fair he'd he lied about his. Outlook of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac when when we just played a clip. And he was trying to still the audience I didn't say what you just heard he said Howard Dean did the exact same thing the other day. Their you have to go after them. Very half plus -- have been -- all you have to do is replay of the plopped right within the let me -- there ain't going no I didn't do it you gotta say yes you did it. And then people -- room. There is a place for rudeness but it has to be the last. And I laughed at I don't -- be rude but I'd rather think of you I'd rather. I'd rather think there's a place for direct us. I like that -- direct. I -- all the speaker over because I wanna find out three things. That speaker Gingrich thing would make health care reform acceptable to all of us."
