[ buzzer ] >> stephanie: i wasn't going to go there. >> obama gives speeches that crowds love, too! good god! how do you make that leap? >> stephanie: birtherism, blatant dog whistle racial politics. you know, that's what i'm saying. i knew they were going to do that. have a sense of humor. that's different. that's a sensitive subject. it is really catering to your crazy base. >> exactly. they said obama makes jokes about his birth certificate too. well, yes because the joke is on obama. still! >> stephanie: when white people do but black people call each other the n word. he said he saw nothing wrong with the comment because it drew jeers from the crowd. that's the new barometer. >> stephanie: drew jeers from the crowd when sara pallen says he pals around with terrorists and someone in the crowd yelled kill him. >> you knew who else drew cheers from the crowd? hitler. >> stephanie: i cannot believe you went there chris. [ laughter ] >> stephanie: while we're in michigan, ann and i were both born in detroit. a little humor goes a long way. >> i love being home in this place where ann and i were raised. where both us were born. ann was born at henry ford hospital. i was born at harper hospital. no one's ever asked to see my birth certificate. they know this is the place. that we were born and raised. >> ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. >> i told you i would be utilizing humor. >> stephanie: great to be in the place where ann and i grew up. the crowd loved it. had a good laugh. all right then. all right then. a good time was had by all. >> you know who else wasn't born in the u.s.?

>> let's go with the birther thing. >> all right. >> because you know what i love most about that line is it was scripted. it wasn't an off-the-cuff kind of moment. it was actually scripted in his teleprompter so yeah, apparently if you're a democrat, you must be crazy or -- or, or, or, you must be some kind of minority. there is a bad word i would like to use as to what they're trying to turn democrats into but i'll do that on the blog later today. >> stephanie: okay, good. what it is though, i think it is not -- we were talking about there are seven birthers literally speaking at the convention. so there is some difference anymore between the lunatic fringe and the republican party. >> once you invite the crazies in, you have to let them have their say. that's the thing about crazies you're not going to shut them up. you may as well let them talk until they're tired although i don't think that's possible for trump, is it? >> stephanie: this is the problem. what paul ryan -- again, was it a slip? the problem is with their akin problem is it is enshrined in their party platform. it is what they believe. >> right. and if we've got paul ryan out there saying -- even -- to even put into words of calling rape a type of conception or to say -- i guess what he said was it doesn't matter how the child -- how the fetus was conceived. and so that means that any way possible could be conception. that goes for any age too. that's the thing that people don't take this to its fullest extent, you know. that means that children who are raped and get pregnant is -- there's no exception for them. it just keeps creepier and creepier the more you dig down. >> stephanie: i said this last week. it looks like already the polls are bearing it out at least in missouri. it looks like claire mccaskill is up nine. i was going to say not stunningly. his support of course has plummeted with women. that's what i was saying last week. this is resonating among women as far as i can tell like nothing ever has. i think that's going to carry over into the general don't you? >> right. because once again, this is one of those things that they have been putting in their platforms for the last few elections. but it is just sort of flown under the radar for most people. i mean certainly there are activists and people engaged in the issue that knew it and tried to sound the alarm but the akin thing was just so awful. it finally brought it out into the open and the sad part is the only thing that romney is left saying is well, of course what he said was awful rape is rape. but that's not exactly what we're most mad about. >> stephanie: yeah. this new poll, chris, out of missouri maccass kill new found lead with a gender gap. massive lead among women voters. a month ago, she had a one-point edge. yesterday was just more of it. to me, what ryan said was even worse. it matters to the woman that was raped what the form of conception was right? >> oh, yeah, yeah. you know what's interesting this is going to sound weird. i actually know someone who is a child from a rape. and you know how they like to talk about how people on the right like to talk about how abortion drives women into depression and you know, it really affects their mental health? this woman's mother has been in mental institutions ever since -- is horrible. it is horrible. the guilt she carries around is awful. that's not to say she's not a great, good person but it damages everybody. >> stephanie: yeah. i mean, rude, i had a friend back when i lived in new york and she was i believe in her 60s and was raped as a 17-year-old girl and i mean when she would talk about it, it was like it happened yesterday. it is that -- so, i hear you. >> the thing is that help cans talk about these things in theory. your caller before who said what are you going to do once the children are born? that the right and evangelicals tend to abandon the children once they're not -- once they can't be taken care of by an um umbilical cord. but this is reality. there's real bodies involved here. this isn't just some theory that extends out from your dogma. >> stephanie: talk to us about your posting no mitt romney and paul ryan won't tell you a [ bleep ] thing. that appears to be the case, doesn't it? >> because every time somebody pushes them on specifics for a plan, they clam up. they are like huh details. we'll work out those later. >> don't you worry your pretty little head about it. >> exactly. it happened yesterday when romney was being interviewed by chris matthews. not chris matthews. oh, how i wish! >> fox news. >> yeah, the other chris. >> wallace. >> mike wallace's vestigial tail. >> oh, gosh, that's awesome. >> stephanie: nicely done, sir. [ applause ] go ahead. >> wallace was pushing him on okay, give us some specifics about how -- what would you would do with medicare. romney says you're trying to make me talk about my entire plan. and it is as if -- as you said, they're saying it is too much for you. you can't take it all in. >> stephanie: like their taxes. you people have seen all you need to see. >> right. >> stephanie: and then -- you were talking about cnn. one cnn commentator lost his mind over akin? what's that about? >> that was eric erickson. >> stephanie: yes. >> yes. who, when he's on cnn just is sort of this, you know, blob of evil that is sitting there. >> stephanie: i think the chiron says that. >> that's his profession. blob of evil. on his blog though, red state he actually just goes crazy sometimes. says things that -- well bloggers will say. >> right. >> so he went on this tear about how the akin thing actually is not that bad and we really need to back akin -- this is before the whole crap storm started going. and so he said we need to back him because he's somebody who believes what we believe about rape and abortion. then you threw in there people who back obama back somebody who supported infant side bringing up this thing from a bill in the illinois legislature that -- something that has been disproven over and over and over again. >> stephanie: yep. i know. >> they don't let it go. >> stephanie: isn't it amazing. it's like burping up something really bad. like you're going oh, that again? really, that's all they've got. stuff that was debunked in the last obama campaign. >> to go even further with that, erickson then brings up chappaquiddick. as if the corporate kennedy matters right now. and again, it is one of those things. is that really all you got in history here? >> stephanie: right. you know, i don't know if it was l.a. or "new york times," did you see the piece about what's wrong with cnn. that's what's wrong with cnn. in an effort to be fair and balanced, they have crazies on the right. >> right. >> they do not have legitimate points and i think -- we posted the thing didn't we? >> we did. on the facebook page. >> stephanie: this version of the republican party there's not two sides. it is like this birther -- not birther. the obama 2016 -- i can't say his name. >> stephanie: it is doing really good business. there is a lot of obama derangement syndrome. >> number six out of all movies. >> stephanie: based on barely any facts but there are people who just want to hate obama. they want to believe anything bad, right? >> right. and they're going to. no matter what. that's exactly who romney is going for now. you know. it is now -- let me remind you that you actually viscerally hate this man. so don't worry about all of the stuff i'm actually going to do. just worry about voting for your hatred. >> line producer with skeeter. >> stephanie: skeeter pack. >> i have to admit a moment of -- i guess it is thinly veiled racism. because when you were saying who produced that movie. i was thinking -- >> stephanie: obviously you live in new york. great piece on the empire state shooting. today the unending mass shooting, the long hot summer of murder going out with a bang right near the empire state building. how disgusting we must look to other countries cowering behind guns like inarticulate bitches. what's a shocking anomaly is par for the course. the prize for imprisoning freedom of gun ownership. that really -- that's the -- i think the real shame of all of this, rude. it becomes like another news day. >> it is. and we forget about things. we've already forgotten about the right wing nuts in louisiana that gunned down some sheriff's deputies down there in louisiana. >> they felt threatened by them. >> they had actually gone to their house to check things out you know. oh no. when the conservative right-wingers get stopped and frisked, this is what happens. >> stephanie: scott in ithaca wrote, i thought -- you guys made really good points about the impair state shooting. friday's shooting at the empire state building proved flat out wrong the gun lovers who say if anyone had guns, these events wouldn't be as bad. in an a. p. shooting, all nine were hit by police bullets. police are trained to keep shooting multiple times since one in five shots will hit the gunmen. these officers fired 16 shots six or seven feet at a way on a clear target and missed him nine times injuring nine bystanders. police did what they had to do but since professionally trained marksmen can miss their mark more than 50% of the time, why should everyone be carrying if 15 people opened fire on the colorado shooter whoever they thought was wearing the armor would take him down without causing damage. >> we have no control over how well those people would have been trained. >> i'm sure every one of them would say i can do better than that. i'm shooting at tin cans and targets of black people, i do just fine. >> that's why i have a 1,000 round clip. >> stephanie: oh, rude. >> as i told somebody, somebody after hearing about this well, it's good to know the nypd will use too much force against angry white guy. >> stephanie: i suppose that's progress. rudeness, great stuff as always. talk to you next week, honey. >> all right bye. >> stephanie: there he goes, the rude pundit.
