over again that one reason for her racism was that she had an event in her young adulthood where she had a sexual encounter with a black man and afterwards she freaked out about it. she became hysterical. she was horrified with herself because of being racist that she had actually had sex with a black man. >> mcginnis did research for the book while living next store to the palins. palin's husband says it's full of lies. not much information in it is attributed to anyone. a lot of unnamed sources. just so you know. time now for your political ticker with tim farley. >> speaking of disgusting lies here's tim farley. >> never mind. i don't even want to go there. let's talk about president obama and class warfare because everybody is talking about that he wants to raise taxes on millionaires and billionaires and the republicans have already come out and said, hey, that's just class warfare. you're picking on one segment of the population. >> don't forget. jimmy buffett fans have to pay the buffett rule, you know. class warfare like math class against history class. >> pause there because we want to hear president obama say it's math so here goes. >> okay. >> if warren buffett believes he's not paying enough tacks today i encourage him don't wait, write a check today. the largest check you can and send it to the united states treasury. but you and the president should not be exacting warfare on the millions of small businesses on charities and on the middle class people who built this country. >> this is not class warfare. it's math. >> it's like -- okay, so here we go again. i know. it's the same argument over and over again, though, tim. >> yeah, and, frankly what this is all about is a pivot for the president because the grand illusion is what is now taking place, the grand bargain, he knows that he can't get certain cooperation with republicans, so what he's done now is gone out there to energize his base. that's pretty much what this was all about yesterday because the idea that republicans are going to all of a sudden embrace the concept of raising taxes whether on millionaires or billionaires or gazillionaires doesn't matter. this is going to be one of the arguments moving forward and does distract from the fact that we have a jobless rate so we'll see how it plays how. this is the new apresident that his base is looking for. >> kind of depressing because you're right. people's jobs or there thereof are at stake and have to work on the deficit with this supercommittee and that's, you know, the president's plan is going to affect that as well and everything could come to a halt and we'll be at the same place we were when we were arguing about the debt ceiling and whether it was raised or not. but anyhoo -- >> you should move to washington. >> being in the same place where we started. >> i know. you just want to beat your head against the wall. let's talk about michele bachmann a little more because she's getting it from all sides. another former staffer has come out criticizing her political abilities. i think we lost the sound bite but basically we lost tim farley. we lost everything. tim farley is frozen in satellite land. i apologize. >> i am. >> oh, he's back. so let's talk about michele bachmann because her former campaign manager says she can't make it much past iowa because she's out of money. >> ed rollins is the man -- you and i talked about this a long time ago. part of the early strategy to get her past iowa because if she could win there she could move along and you get something in your pocket, now you can start lining your pocks with cash. ed didn't say she couldn't but that she would have a tough time getting past iowa and that is what we thought would happen. past iowa and south carolina there aren't too many who thought she could be competitive nationwide but just wants to be considered. she would never say that, of course, but i think his comments yesterday pretty much bear that out. >> yes. tim farley, thank you and we're sorry we froze you there for a time. >> that's okay. tim farley live from washington. thanks so much. pirates making a strong showing in berlin's
