Joining me now and Coulter author of the new book.
-- to racial demagoguery from the seventies to Obama and welcome it's great to have you here I can't think of a better day.
Bring it -- racial demagoguery which she wrote I think 300 word time in just a second but I -- -- start with this debate tonight and what you're expecting.
I'm actually expecting the reaction of most people is going to be -- while -- was really barring.
Cookbook and we didn't slow the brand -- I am not everyone is so excited waiting for a big -- and eight and they like.
We -- to professional politician but we're not gonna happen.
Rick Perry moments well at that they I think viewing it could be the thing that we don't expect it has nothing at all Larry let's talk about this video so.
It's controversial video released last night on Hannity Sean Hannity show on F -- C.
Obama speaking as a candidate five years ago to a -- a black ministers.
Here's what he had to say -- minutes.
What kind of not a normal.
Read your dollar.
Went discover that modern.
-- don't let government that somehow the people domino Arlen.
So they -- that they are saying the federal government.
Doesn't care about black people as much as they care about white and -- is lying about what the figures -- he was sitting senator he should've known that.
A hundred billion dollars have been sentenced to the Katrina victims six months earlier that was five times more than New York gotten disaster relief after 9/11.
But it is I mean this is exactly the point of my book that we were almost passed the racial.
Turmoil one ands and demagoguery of the seventies and eighties -- Once the real civil rights battles were over.
And then Obama brings it all back.
Obama brings it all back at may be anxious nine but I really believed that having.
Obama as president as a black American.
Would bring us together would make things better would help us -- Alicia issue move beyond it.
But it's only gotten worse why that's why my book is for you because a lot of a lot of Americans thought that more white Americans voted for a bombing in 2008.
-- had voted for any Democrat for president in nearly forty years so obviously a lot of people have about -- I think.
Obama and -- seen him do it himself is what so arresting about this video but usually it's being pushed by white liberals.
All of the if you don't vote for a bomb on America is racist -- This out of that statement by Romney is racist and they do it because I mean you care about the historic nature of the first black president -- otherwise they would then.
Supported Clarence thomas' nomination of the Supreme Court.
They like Obama because he's the most left wing president we've ever had and they can defenders as liberal policies by calling his opponents and critics racist.
I want -- read the response from the Obama campaign to this video echoing a desperate.
In a transparent attempt to change the subject from his comments attacking half of the American people live -- allies re circulated.
Video of the 2007 event at the Romney campaign believes that Americans will accept these desperate attacks tonight place of the specific plan for the middle class.
It's they who were.
And for a surprise to your response.
I -- how the media if this was available before we never saw it.
According to Tucker Carlson who ran on daily caller -- the transcript of the prepared remarks but the really.
Shocking statements -- horrible Obama's telling an audience of black features that America doesn't like black people.
That according to -- when Obama departed from his prepared remarks so according to the person happened video this is not been seen before.
If the media -- seen this before how -- I haven't seen.
Why have they shown it to a sudden and very something very something very something someone finally gets a hold -- in -- Old -- to tell you -- book months has created more controversy than anything I've seen in along time.
And here's -- I have a theory about this you say this isn't a story about black people with the story about the left agenda to patronize blacks and lie to everyone else.
Blacks are just props to dress up the -- pet causes.
And this is the thing that I think the people got.
It's not it's not black people saying I hate this book it's.
People on the left to just saying you're insulting us because you say -- manipulating people yes -- -- -- their scam and in point of facts.
You'll read about a lot of black heroes in my book that liberals have been -- from you because they want to celebrate.
The black cop killers the gangsta rappers also you're about the ones who testified.
Against that that the cop killers and and you saves people in the middle of the LA riots there are a lot of very heroic blacks in this book.
I don't know what is white liberals this is a scam they've been pulling for a long time in my book is to warn them don't fall for it again do you think that.
Will ever get past this issue this is still seems to be the one issue that nobody wants to talk about well I think if this sound silly but I think if people read my book that it really will help move the country past it but 'cause.
But one thing at least half the country the Republican Party has nothing to be embarrassed about in terms of race relations it was Liberal Democrats -- -- -- Liberal Democrats now.
-- the -- and move past.
Racial animosity and resentments is to move past it is not to stir them up with the but as we've been doing.
