good evening everyone. thanks for joining us on the blog

Good evening Anderson, Erica and bloggees.

Hope everyone had a great Thursday. Looking forward to a great show

Hi Anderson!!! Sounds like an interesting program tonite.

hello everybody
looking forward to a great show!!!

Good 'ole Clintons. LOL! They just don't get it!

Perhaps the Clintons should not have underestimated Barack Obama from the beginning.

Yikes, they can't drop out until I see Bill next week!

Hillary is telling the truth.

When Obama says the same thing you call it the real issues of this country.
When Hillary says it, you call it injecting race?
This is called bias, bias, and bias.

time went to far, why cant they just wait

Hi bloggers! Program sounds good tonight. Nice mix. Hillary's got 3 more weeks, then, I do think something will have to give! Hillary thinking she will get the popular vote with MI and FL is interesting. Doesn't make too much sense to me since those primaries were nothing but a beauty contest, nothing "popular" about them.

Hey everyone,

It's not over until he's declared the winner. And that hasn't happened yet.
Don't count her out just yet.

Anderson, I had thought that Clinton couldn't possibly go any lower than she already has, but my jaw literally dropped when I heard her UNBELIEVABLY racist comments today. These comments absolutely have crossed the worst line ever not to mention openly insulting the MILLIONS OF WHITE AMERICANS WHO HAVE VOTED FOR BARACK.
Since when are we not "hard-working" Americans? This is the most unkindest cut of all.

Perhaps the Clintons should not have overestimated themselves from the beginning.

I saw that interview with Obama. He did a great job. He showed his emotions about his mother. I like a "human" candidate.

how will obama do these things he says he is going to do, can anyone ever ask him

Clinton knows that she hasn't a chance, but she isn't just going to hand it over to Obama. I really can't really blame her.

I'm for Hillary but I am a little weary of all the bickering.
Time for a candidate choice~

Even though the primary elections has not ended yet, it seems Mr. Obama believes and has strong confidence that he would be nominated to the presidential cadidate of the party, based on the interview...

What would happen if she DID drop out and a huge scandal hit Obama? Not likely, but possible. For the party's sake, just let her ride it out without three weeks of speculation.

Agreed, Paris. Honestly, given that Obama keeps saying that he's Mr. No Washington Games, it's rather funny that he had a big temper tantrum when it came to counting Michigan and Florida. I guess he doesn't play Washington Games until they might not go in his favor.

Politics is the U.S. are fascinating. Anything is possible. Hillary believes that, Obama knowes, that and that is what makes America great! Also, it keeps the viewers glued to the screens (tv and laptops!).

I have been a strong Hillary supporter and I was insulted before when the Clintons were accused (I thought wrongly) of injecting race into this campaign. However, I cringed when I heard Hillary's latest statement, when asked about how she can still win, she cited statistics saying "hard working white Americans" are voting for her. I am very disappointed. To me, a lifelong democrat, it is plain wrong for any candidate to continue a campaign based on the fact that white americans won't vote for Obama. This is an entirely contrary to the principals of most democrats and I am sad that the first female candidate can't make a more positive case for herself at this point. I still believe that Hillary would make the better President, but I believe that Obama would be far better than McCain. I'll be voting Obama in November and I hope we Americans will demonstrate the best of our character this fall.

If he is smart he will put her on the ticket!

I agree. If it were me, I would not have gone this far to simply give up. Actually I like the fact she hasn't given up. I also haven't voted yet.

While watching the news today, I thought Hillary had dropped out and I had somehow missed the story. The race is not over....despite what the media says.

Ditto Paris. Obama only took 1/3rd of the white vote in NC, and 92% of the black vote. In the general election that won't win. Clinton is stating fact, not opinion.

I wonder if and when He is the nominee, will we as a country embrace him as we did Kennedy? I am a republican (I think), but He is growing on me!

EJ, I think the Democratic party is seriously underestimating the weakness of Senator Obama as well as the voter intent of many Clinton supporters. Obama may very well havethis nomination secured but he is so far, far away from winning the election. Many Clinton supporters will not support Obama.

She won't drop out until somehow she can make it on her terms. Do you think she wants to be VP?

I look forward to the additon of John McCain. I want to hear the Republican side of this election, before Time mag declares anything over.

@Paris: I have to agree. There are a lot of double standards going on here.

Why is this any different than the media announcing the Black population areas during the returns? If Clinton is getting the White blue collar worker vote and it is true, she is just stating a fact.

The Clintons will neveer admit that they were the cause of losing the Black vote. Their racially insensitive remarks during the SC primary were the breaking point. Prior to that, hillary was holding on to a respectable amount of Black support.

He IS smart and that's why he WON'T put her on the ticket! She represents the old way of doing things and she's a big fibber! She can go back to the Senate and chill!

Can it be assumed that the republicans want Obama to win the democratic nomination so it will be easier for McCain to win in November?!!

Does anyone think if Hilary was V.P. she would sit still and behave as a V.P or will she change the face of a V.P. and get more done.

Everyone needs to look at numbers. If Obama is even saying she'll split states with him, she's viable for the general. People want her in large enough numbers that she can win. She has a definite argument for being more electable in the general. No one should delude themselves that she doesn't.

I think she would take the VP spot, but I think Obama does not want to offer it to her.

What I don't understand is if Hillary has the "white vote," then she can help Obama win in November. Is she planning to leave the Democratic Party when Obama is the nominee? She can continue to stand on pick-up trucks and woo that demographic away from McCain and to Obama. She has to become a team player now.

Obama did say he would put Hillary on the "short" list for VP. For some reason calling it a short list doesn't sound very good. I'm sure a short list of candidates is better than a long list but it sounds derogatory to me.

He needs to pick a different VP than Clinton. I think his camp already considered it and ruled it out.

I'm all for some new blood!

Hillary knows that her best chance to damage Obama is to play the divisive "race" card. This is an indication that she knows that she can't win, but wants to try to damage Obama for the Fall Campaign.

She has lost all clout within the party, and will lose the NY Senate race because she will have a contender next time because of her weakness.

I can't see Hilary or Obama being each other's runnung mate. I think their egos are too big for that.

Jo Ann, I agree... Also, can you imagine wanting and working so hard for something for months and then having to come to the realization that you are not going to get the party nomination. Also, she entered the race being the favorite. That has got to be tough...

I don't understand how Hillary's comment is considered by some to be rasist; if 360 and many other news programs tell us on a daily basis the "white female vote" "the black female vote" and the the "65 and older vote" etc... Why can these surveys be held and discussed by media but not the candidates?

Hillary was quoting an article. Give me a break. Obama is constantly injecting race. In fact, Obama talks about the country coming together, it was getting together before he came around and cause the race problems.

Mike, Paris – i understand what you are saying, but i think the people who felt her comments were inappropriate were responding more to the wording she used, and what it implied – as some on the blog tonite have indicated. It very well could just be a slip of the tongue, or a poor choice of words, but i think it was the choice of words that upset some folks.

So the die is cast. McCain can cast Obama as Hamas' choice, but if Obama says McCain has lost his bearings, Obama is making an age slur. Losing one's bearings has to do with core beliefs, and nothing to do with age.

Mitt is right on! Obama cliams 20 years of experience. Does that count pre-school?

Romney should check out his record before casting stones. OK, thats it, I'm now a democrate!

No matter your Candidate choice, Mitt Romney wasn't stating anything untrue.

Does anybody really believe that Obama would even consider Clinton for the VP? For starters, his arrogance would not allow him to share the limelight. He is just pandering to the Clinton supporters.

Tell Mitt Romney that Abraham Lincoln spent 8 years as a State Senator and 2 years as a US Senator before he became President. Obama has spent 7 years as State Senator and 3 years in the US Senate. Obama is as qualified as Abraham Lincoln was before he became President.

If Obama and Clinton team up, they will be unstoppable against the Republicans come this fall. The Republicans must be cringing at the thought of this possibility.

I'm disgusted at the language and innuendo now being dug out from under the rocks of the Clinton campaign. Why doesn't she just come right out and say that the super delegates should give her the nomination on a platter because not enough white people will vote for a black man. First it was Geraldine Ferraro, now it's the candidate herself. Unbelievable.

Please STOP IT! It's obvious the man has EARNED the right to choose his running mate at HIS discretion. Why insist on making him select her JUST to please her and her supporters. There are other much more viable candidates out there for him to choose from...AND be successful at it. Believe it or not...Hillary is NOT the only candidate in America!

Laughing more at Wolf asking Obama if he is ready for the "GOP attack" but hasn't mentioned the fact that the DNC is running false ads against McCain....why didn't Wolf ask Obama if he will denounce those false ads (the 100 year war statement for example)????

I also am a little suprised at the thinking that she is being racist. We have heard time and time again that Obamas core is the African American community. Isn't that basically the flip side of this coin?

Hi, everyone

This is a pretty intense interview with Barack Obama, Wolf is getting pretty intense with the questions!

We have to remember that both Hillary and Barack is being monitored. Every single word that comes out of their mouth is anaylized by the media and it is spun by the media, not them. I've stopped listening when the media speaks about this one said this and what did they mean by it? Hillary, Bill and Barack are NOT racist in any way.

Anderson –

As the primaries drag on, Clinton seems to be getting more and more ruthless and cutthroat. I see the opposite from Obama. I see his campaign staying strong – even through the "Wright controversy" – and that is a huge part of why I'm voting for him.

I work for barely over minimum wage. I live paycheck to paycheck. And I am an Obama voter. Who says he can't win over blue-collar, white women? I'm living proof the stereotypes aren't true.

Thank you for your non-biased coverage of this process. AC360 is THE place for election coverage.

As an African-American who has supported the clintons over the years, I do not believe that they are racists. However, I do believe that they have shown greater racial insensitivity than I would expect from them.

Hi back Erica

It's heartbreaking here in Washington State hearing "and the winner is..."

Hi Erica, Glad to be with you tonight on the blog. Good show.

I don't know about that..Obama and Clinton being unstoppable. I used to feel the same way, but as the race is going on, I'm starting to re-think that..

Anderson: Why is that any different than the "typical White person" remark by Obama? The media let him talk his way out of that.

Anderson, the same might be said about Obama's choice of words in his response to McCain's comments. It could have been a poor choice of words and had absolutely nothing to do with McCain's age?

Anderson it not is the wording But the perception that one cannot say anything about race if you're not obama

Miss Lorie Ann just let me have it! Romney was stating his opinion of Obama's experience. But isn't the job of the President to surround yourself with the best team possible. Does a President really make any decisions without consulting his team. I guess he or she is as good as their team.

we thought it worth replaying the interview in depth tonite.

Considering the fact that Senator Clinton seems to already believe that she is the presumptive nominee, I doubt that she would ever accept a Vice-Presidential position, even if she were offered it.

We all really need to hear a whole lot more from Obama on taxes, abortion, and much much more. His views have really not been explained well at all.

We all really need to know what Obama would do if Iran threatens Israel. It is fine to say "he would not have gone into Iraq" ..........heck, I said not to go into Iraq too........does that make me qualified to run for President? He wasn't in the Senate at the time. No one asked him?

First Geraldine Ferraro says Obama is winning because he's black. Now Hillary is saying he will lose because he's black. They're confused.

Wolf did a very good job with the interview. He asked some tough questions.

Hillary has already said she is in until there is a nominee, so unless Obama works out a deal for her to be VP, this thing is going all the way to the convention. Obama doesn't have enough delegates to prevent that right now....

Hilary is too proud of a woman to take the VP position she needs to be number one to change what the Bush administration has done. Barack is certainly more lovable and that is only do to the fact that he represents everything that the country has fought : racism. Barack can show that America is a different world full of hope and understanding unfortunately, republicans can only be beaten by strong fist and a dirty game.

I agree with you Tommy, as much as I want to know who each of the candidates will pick as their running mates, I would much rather wait and see, because it just seems like they are getting irritated with all of that!

H. Clinton is saying that Obama is not winning the blue collar vote. Obama is winning the African-American vote. Are there no longer any blue collar workers among the African-American population? Where did they go? Maybe she really did mean only white guys.

There is a percentage of the electorate that will vote based on prejudice – but I think the same "working class" blue collar workers that may not vote for Obama, would probably vote for McCain before they vote for a woman also. Anyone who lets prejudice guide their vote is not likely to have only one prejudice...

what she said wasnt wrong, she was saying the truth, thats all

Yvonne, excellent point. It's called politics as usual in the Clinton campaign.

Jo Ann. Im not a spokesperson for anyone. As i recall the typical white person remark was also widely covered and discussed. I know we talked about it on this program. In fact i believe it was at the top of our broadcast. I cant speak for "the media" in fact, im not even sure what "the media" means anymore.

On day it looks like Obama is ahead the next Hillary. Where will it all end? This is so exciting!

That Time cover shows there is a media bias for Obama; at least some media. He hasn't won anything yet.

When was the last time you saw a footbal game called off in the third quarter because one team was ahead?

I like the interview and the idea of replaying it. And I also agree with Billi. We really do need to hear more from him and the issues he stands by. It seems like all he is talking about is change, but does not justify what it is to be changed and who, over what period of time...

Obama said some nice words about his mother. Speaking of mothers, I would love to hear from McCain's mother, she's a spit fire.

I think it's great that Clinton is still in the race. I hope she stays in it to the end. She and Obama will be able to concentrate on how the vision and policies of the Democrats differ so much from the vision policies of John McCain. They won't be spending too much time and energy attacking each other.

Roy from Texas, President Bush surrounded himself with excellent people..That's what everyone said at the time. The buck stops with the President. He or she will make the final decisions.

You can see in this interview that Obama would make a good President.

I think a Clinton and Obama ticket will come without question. If both always talk about uniting the party after the primaries, that ticket would be the best way to do it.

Why is it such a horrific thing for Hamas to favor Obama? If one (or more) parties to the ongoing conflict in the middle east believe they are on some level being heard, is that a bad thing?

While we certainly should not in any way condone terrorism, working to find common ground and put an end to the violence seems like a good thing, yes?

Good point, Anderson. The meaning of "the media" has changed quite a bit in recent years, and my guess is, that trend will continue.

Good Point about Lincoln -
He had as much experience as Obama and had to handle the Cival War – and I think he did a pretty good job.

Enjoyed the Obama interview with Wolf -
I once thought Obama/Clinton or Clinton/Obama would be a great Dream Ticket,
but I think that ship has sailed – that is not going to happen now.

@Yvonne, it has also been said that Hillary won't get the African American votes because +90% of them support Obama.

Obama's comments about his mother were so touching. How could someone that speaks that reverantly about his mom have deliberately taken a cheap shot at McCain?

McCain will have broader appeal than most Republicans because of his maverick image and track record of trying to work with the Dems. The Dems need someone with broad appeal too. They will get 90% of the black vote with eithr HRC or Obama. Who gives them more of the rest?

Anderson, the media means to most of us all those persons who have a pulpit – on TV, the radio, the internet, newpapers, magazines. Please, please do not deny that the media has influenced this primary. The TIME cover so obviously proves that. There is no winner at this time.

Dennis from Va. don't bet on it. The Clintons are in fighting mode.

Also while we are on the topic. Can I just say it's hard to get votes in rural white communities if you don't even bother visiting them?
As you can see I am in KY. We have not seen hide nor hair of Obama in the entire state. However, Hillary, Bill, and even McCain have all been here.

Billi, I agree.
Let’s find out all the facts and not accuse the attempt of fact finding to being racist.
I thought this is what it was all about to have all the truth come out and make inform decisions.

Yvonne, her point was not that white blue collar vote not because he is black, but because he is perceived as elitist and they prefer Hilary on economy issues

I don't think candidates should classify their voters. I'm an older white female so I'm supposed to be for Hillary except I made my own decision and voted for Obama. Now my son tells me today that his father who had never voted for a Republican in his life is voting for McCain because he won't vote for Hillary and he won't vote for a black man. Our son is one of those blue collar working white men. He is voting for Obama. I don't think we are that unusual.

The fact that McCain thinks that to lose your bearings means your old is proof that he is old and losing something.

@Chuck, Excellent point about Obama's voice more likely to be heard by Hamas. The Senator was offended by McCain's implication that he perhaps shares a commonality with them. It was clearly a dig from a politician who claims to abhor dirt slinging.

Narrowing Obama's definition of what Middle Class is would be really helpful. Going from if your under 100k to not if your over 250k could use some refinement to know if he is working for me or not.

Cary, NC

Does Senator Clinton mean to continue attracting the humble workin' class folk by claiming the support of non-college graduate voters? Is that necessarily a positive?

This is really sad. It sounds that Clinton will say and do anthing to win.

yes obama has won states without a huge black vote but most of those states were caucuses

This is just the beginning of what McCain has up his sleeve. He has the experience in being the fighter, there is even a memorial in Vietnam built after him. He has the stomach to bring the dirty but politically correct game to win the presidency. Not that it is a good thing.

Barack's voters are both black and white! And yes working class of both races too. He doesn't just have the black vote...

Obama never said he has the black vote. The pundits are the ones who said it. That's why Hillary's statement doesn't sound right. She should leave that to the pundits.

Hillary's comment is not racially divisive. In fact, the way it is written shows she is qualifying the blue collar workers as she is speaking to distinguish between the two different groups within these workers she and Barack from whom they enjoy support. Honestly, this issue need not be so big.

I agree with Tony Perkins, I don't think Hillary will quit. She is taking this to the floor of the convention. Count on it.

I agree with that talk show host on the show... this is headed all the way to the convention. I think Hillary could make a good case that she has a better chance of winning the general election than Obama does.

Hillary won't be able to take it all the way to the convention if the super delegates step up. Surely they will do that after the primaries. They are just giving her breathing space right now.

Peb: i think that can be said of all the candidats,no?

I think Sen. Mccain would be very ill-advised to bring openly dirty poltical tactics into the race. The voters are looking for someone more unaffiliated with the political in-crowd, old timey treachery and mudslinging will not play well.

I totally agree Kathy. Once June 3rd has come and gone the superdelegates will put this to rest before convention

I hope Hill does take it to the convention; Teddy K took it to the convention when he was nearly 800 votes behind....why are folks so concerned about Hill taking it to the convention when she is only 200 (or less than) behind?

Even though she says otherwise, Hillary is in trouble. She is broke for fun. She recently had to take six million dollars of her own money to put into her campaign. Of course she is going to say and do anything at this point.

the statements hillary made today was foul not because she said only white blue collar worker voter for her what about the african americans who did vote for her. what they don't count???

I agree with Kathy that this is in the hands of the superdelegates. If they think Obama is the candidate of choice, they can speak up. I

I think it would be ludicrous to take this race to the convention. Superdelegates will have to decide after the primaries. I think the DNC will force them to.

I have to admit I was a bit shocked at Hillary's reference to the "white" voter. But there is a method to the madness. The Clintons were always known for their "polls." Maybe they found one that said this would help her. Who knows?

The situation in Burma is so sad. Hopefully the people will get the help they so desperately need and deserve.

what do these dictators have to gain by letting so many of their people die from neglect???

Why is it against Burmese policy to accept help?! This is a terrible tragedy.

Thank goodness some aid is at least getting into Myanmar. I think the UN needs to ignore the red tape and just storm into that country and take care of the people. It's called doing the right thing rather than following the governmental rules.

does anyone know why planes did not fly over and drop food and supplies until know; is it that they feared being shot down??

Hopefully the red tape will be cut in time to help Burma. There's no excuse for aid to not be allowed in. Shameful

When is the denial of a government to help it's people defined as genocide? If this is the case, then isn't the rest of the world responsible to address it??

What a horrible situation in Myanmar. It's hard to image the intensity of the suffering there.

Pundits constantly break down the white vote and black Vote percentages, during the primary elections. Are they racist? There has been an upward trend of white working class voters, especially women, which are supporting Senator Clinton by a minimum of twenty percentage points, ever since Obama’s elitist comments. Moreover, Rev. Wright is a measurable factor, lately. The exit polls are reasonably accurate, so what is wrong with the analysis. How can the pundits deny what they tell us?

This is unreal. Not trying to sound judgmental, but someone will have to answer for these lives one day. It's nauseating.

I think that the Chinese government should civilly try to intervene as McCain stated it would help their image

This makes me so angry!! What kind of government would not accept help in a horrible disaster?

Anderson, isn't there anything that we can do to help those people?

It is unbelievable what is happening in Burma. I think it's disgusting that the government there would rather let their own people die than accept help.

WOW that was just really chilling and a powerful report on Myamar....so so sad.....

Why is the Myanmar Goverment afraid to let outside help in?

does anyone know why planes did not fly over and drop food and supplies until know; is it that they feared being shot down??

Jacqui – I read that this would be considered an invasion.

Anderson, is the area hit by the cyclone particularly anti-government? What's the advantage of letting all those people die?

Concerning the failure of the dictator "leaders" in Burma to let in aid...does anyone really expect civilized behavior from uncivilized people?

We are very lucky! It is difficult to imagine that a government could be so cruel.

Re Myanmar - as outrageous as this sound - with all the countries involved – media and aid agencies need to charter a few military cargo planes and just fly in and land. Is the Burmese Junta dictator going to open fire with all the world watching?

Sometimes extreme actions call for extreme measures to be used.

Jacqui, dectators don't care about people.
Human life is the least important thing in dictatorship.

I have seen it and felt it. Sadly.

I'm amazed that the a little insane dictator can make the entire world heel. What would happen if the UN would just go in and do their job? It's not a military intervention, so what would be so bad?

More Manson. I'm not suprised if they find more killings.

The Burmese junta is ruthless and rules with an Iron Hand....It does not care about it's populace and is perpetually mistrustful of external agencies.......This is really really sad!!!

Thanks for doing this Manson story. I don't know much about the whole story since it happened way before my time but Manson totally creeps me out

Anderson, The Burma story is so distressing to all of us. I don’t think unless someone lived in the Gulf Coast area or any area that has been hit here in the United States, that we can even imagine what those people are going through.

I imagine this story is close to your heart. I am glad that you did the report yourself.

It is so sad what we see from Bruma ! UN looks powerless ....
Thank you Anderson. You are doing a great job.

I understand that most of the Western journalist can not get a visa to Burma but what about anyone who can, you don't have to be a journalist or an aid worker to find a way to get a visa GO there and make a little but difference.

Invading Burmese air space without permission can be considered an act of war, I believe.

I don't get that country. The fact that the entire country is so determined to be secluded is unsettling. The thing that got me was that when I first heard the story I thought the reporter said 1,000 people. 10,000 people died and I wasn't aware of it for almost 3 days. I'm a bit shocked of myself, and this country.

I think they are objecting more to U.S. involvement than anything.

Manson scares me....

I wouldn't for a second be surprised if more victims were found in the Death Valley location. Charles Manson and his followers were ruthless.

When you see the scenes from Burma, it sure makes you appreciate the lives that we live.
God bless those poor people.

Manson looks like he enjoys the camera.

Wow, you gotta love dogs and their senses. Buster trained to find human remains. Very interesting. I agree with Ted, even if remains are found, it will remain a mystery on who they are.

Manson is the craziest looking man in the world.

Shouldn't the leaders of Burma have to answer to the UN today for not allowing people into help? It makes you wonder what or if they are trying to hide anything in that country.

It is really hard to see the pictures of bodies in the water and knowing that if they don't take care of them soon, there will be more disease and death.

it is sad what the goverment in burmese is doing to it citizens but look what our country did to those katrina victims i see no diffrence

Charles Manson is a historical figure and this is only going to make him even more legendary Infamous. His mission accomplished. Hope the bodies are found and brought to peace by a PROPER burial.

Hopefully Charles Manson will spend the rest of his life locked up...What an eerie time that was!...

oh thanks for responding EJ, I appreciate it.

it's so horrible that thousands of people are in agony dying of thirst and food deprivation and so many volunteers are trying so desperately to help but the government does not want to risk losing it's pride and control – very frustrating a genocide as someone stated is right!

Anderson: I didn't mean to insinuate that you were speaking for anyone, in fact you are one of the few anchors/ reporters who has tried to be fair during this election. I just think that this comment has been approached differently than Obama's comment was.

I don't know what the word "media" means anymore myself, but I didn't know how else to characterize the people reporting on the election.

Charles Manson is some REALLY evil energy but the tracking dog was good energy.

Maria : it could be very dangerous for a journalist to just go in without being allowed to work in Burma. the regime not open to the media and if a journalist would be caught doing her/his job, they would be in danger of torture and losing their lives. this regime has no respect for human life.

Ok, seeing Manson and hearing him still brings chills down my spine.

I remember Manson from the 'old days'. And, yes, he loves the camera, and, yes, he has gotten crazier looking ever time he is brought out for a hearing. God rest the souls of those he has slaughtered.

I wonder why no one talked about the missing people that Manson may heve killed before this, obviously their families would have missed them...

How sad that Lawrence King was killed because of who he was! Such sadness!

Blah blah blah, lol thank you Anderson. I'm sure that I don't stand alone when I say Manson and everything involving him creeps the hell out of me!

Anderson: I agree regarding your Manson comment "Blah, Blah, Blah." Anyone who has read "Helter Skelter" knows that Manson knew exactly what he was saying and doing.

It was a very brave thing Kenny did, but in todays world I am sad that it is a topic one should be brave to admit. Being gay is an normal as being straight, black, white, gray or bald...

Good night All and Anderson. Really good show tonight.

Thanks Erica! You are on top of things as always. Night all!

It was a very brave thing Lawrence King did, but in todays world I am sad that it is a topic one should be brave to admit. Being gay is an normal as being straight, black, white, gray or bald…

Dancing prisoners–where do you find this footage of these guys? On that note, good night all.

Ok. That's it. Cnn has to send someone to do a full story on those dancing Phillipino dancing prisoners. Come on, maybe they know something we don't and perhaps could implement in our prisons. Well, maybe.

Goodnight Anderson & Erica – keep smilin!

Good night all. VERY good show, as always.

Good Thursday evening..Dancing inmates..All those orange suits in one place..nightmare on the color chart..Night all

ahh... the wonders of youtube <3
goodnight everyone!!!

Billi – i agree of course media outlets have a big effect on things, though i think the notion of "the media" as some monolithic block that shapes opinion is false. There are so many varied members of "the media" – talk radio, blogs, cable news, network news, print, etc... and so many different perspectives..

I remember Manson and the terrible killings. Manson loves the camera, publicity, and most definitely himself and that's the way he always was. Wish he was given the death penalty a long time ago.
