Problem, theyre not doing it for shock value. they really believe it. >> thoughts, bobby? >> my thought is i think this guy was way over the line. i dont watch msnbc because nobody else does, and you cant talk about it. but the fact of the matter is that to suggest that black commentators are in the business of race-baiting all the time is absolutely absurd. its ridiculous. lets talk about conservative black people, arent they wonder? hes an idiot. >> if you disagree with a liberal, youre a raci...

Romney and northwest. >> okay. so how surprised were you this conversation even happened? it looks like it was preproduced. >> this is one of those television segments that runs off the rails. an attempt at the year in review segment and attempt at humor. if they had a conversation that wasnt personal but was more about policy or more about the substance of things, it wouldnt have gone off the rails. if they tried to make a point about lack of diversity in the gop, the segment would have been le...

Resort because the economy is not doing so well. >> yes. >> signing up on disability? >> yes. the simple answer is yes. you can expect a lot of those people who are about to -- or just lost their unemployment benefits, they will take that option and the option is disability. >> one thing that ive noticed is in the mainstream media, ive noticed a number of commentators talking about, well, the economy is doing great. the stock market is at record highs. but the economy itself is obviously not doi...
