No Respect?

" We moved back to health care now there is that a health care at a contest sponsored by president Obama's campaign Armitage raising some questions. Judges -- from the democratic national party as well as Hollywood stars and have selected twenty finalists in the health reform video challenged. -- put up by organizing for America that's name of the group and at one of the contenders. With a finalist here features a mural. Of an American flag defaced with graffiti about health care take a look. -- a taking a political message a little too far you saw how the flag Schilling was full of graffiti you were gonna report on this you can decide and here for a fair and balanced debate or Leonard. Democratic blogger and editor and -- five page report -- As well as conservatives have radio talk show host Armstrong Williams welcome gentlemen nice to have this morning how are you. And great thank you want to talk a little bit about the starting up and you Leonard what do you think about the --"

" I don't really think it's an issue it's one ahead of twenty videos and graffiti if protected by the First Amendment. And it certainly. Something that you know might hook up with the way a lot of people feel. -- black people might be concerned about it or what do you think -- I -- why the right wing might be concerned about it I'm not sure it's necessarily representative of the views of the entire populace do you. And what why do you think that right -- would be concerned about this -- it hearkens back to the issue around flag burning. Right that was an issue in the early ninety's that there was a constituted movement toward constitutional amendment to -- It's you know making hay out of a -- issue basically I'm somebody thank."

" You know I don't think this is an issue about left and right. I think that most Americans no matter what the political -- who is part is pretty thing. Pretty shocking in the reason why he would find it pretty shocking. Is one thing pursuing the use of video that that's a -- The American flag such -- demeaning and and and crazy way but it's another thing for the DNC. To have a contest. You have what when -- videos and this is the video that you decide to select as the winner and even people who participated -- is -- wonder where I did not interrupt you. Even the people who participated at contests -- we're shocked and said it was a very bad day. Put -- Democratic Party in the reflection. It so you can produce videos and do whatever you want in the name of free speech. But what does that say about the DNC that there will in the reward them -- in this kind of message to the rest of the country."

" Letter who want to answer that. This is the -- that -- selected on the clintons when that they selected what I want to the last of the tour when he finally -- be voted on track right so let's not engagement for verification must just be clear develop the facts are. It's one out of twenty -- clearly it's designed to be provocative and in that sense it's been successful. You don't have to you know vote for you don't have to you know give it your stamp of approval Armstrong. But certainly you're not gonna suggest that the person who made the video doesn't have a constitutional right to express themselves in that way you don't have to agree."

" You know again my point is that you can think for verification. This is one of the videos that was selected so it -- it was a winner it was a winner until that is -- shot department. The issue is that DNC. It's sent in -- message to the American people what to think about. -- when you look at the video about men and women coming back to the base of Dover. At the sacrifice their lives in the name war and freedom for this country it is that -- is what the continue to look to what they continue to believe it. At for the DNC to get the energy. And give credibility to so when that would produce afterthought seeing -- more obscene than the person that produced it what kind of message are you said that to this country of what you feel about your country America is it not your country to."

" Have you watched the other in nineteen videos Armstrong and also can ask your question since you say it's 120 and -- it's a winner. Can -- just make sure -- understand when you have say seven nominees for the presidency either party that would suggest by your logic."

" Well we're all winners existed declare finance shows our viewers do as well that big the committee was choosing the finalists -- gave the dozens -- so. A finalist v.s were the videos that were selected by. The DNC this -- that's clear whether or not we -- argue whether or not that makes him a winner or not they are the finalists so -- get your final response Leonard on. I -- what I'm -- was just mentioning."

" I would take a look at the other nineteen videos and see what kind of messages they send and whether they comport with. Armstrong's view of the world are not."

" I wouldn't know that there is going to be you know we're gonna have to leave it there of the videos are all up and everyone can check them out he was when you like he can even if you want to show. And that's how -- planner in -- on -- some thank you."
