sean: so has president obama try stoss steer clear of anything about his record. there is another topic that appears to be off limits and that is reverend jeremiah wright. but should it be? there were rumors earlier today that a super pac ad was in the works, focusing on reverend wright and his relationship with barack obama. before most of us were even out of bed, the obama campaign and david axelrod were on twitter, calling on mitt romney to repudiate the blitsz. that s exactly what romney did. but was it the right call? joining me is the co-host the five, eric bolling and kimberly guilfoyle. i heard the interview with guy benson, town hall. i am thinking, this is what mccain did. this is the president that said, they bring a knife, we bring a gun. you know, i want romney to treat obama the way he did gingrich and the way he attacked
sean: that was acteddor/comedian jon lovitz, now in the spotlight for going on that rant on barack obama. some have called him a nazi for his comments. but he says he s receiving calls of support from within the entertainment community and he is getting job offers. here to explain it is the man himself, actor jon lovitz. how are you? great, sean. sean: i enjoyed t. you know? it s refreshing. number 1, you are a comedian. all of a sudden, bill maher s funny. you are talking about class warfare. you are not attacking the president s kids. wait a minute, here. why do you think there has been a crazy reaction to this? uh, first of all, thank you for being the only person who get its. i am a comedian. i have a comedy club, jon lovitz comedy club and podcast theater. i was on the stage and watching df he said they are not paying
sean: interesting. anyone that ever you know brought up the fact, he did say in his book that he studied the koran. all right. he didn t say he was a muslim. he said that the prayer at sunset was beautiful. he didn t say he was a muslim. but if you bring it up the right wing is trying to. you know. all right. vione last question for you. you do pander throughout this interview yes, do i. sean: to reverend wright. you suck up to him big time. right? i didn t know if you meant it. at one point, you even attacked me in this interview, which i was a little surprised to hear. but i will let you explain yourself, in fairness. we will let everybody hear that as well. the right-wing crazies, like o reilly, hannity, glen beck i could give you a thousand of them.
santorum. i mean, frankly, i thought it got a little too mean. but now all of these things are off limes? listen, i think that s what he is going to do. i don t think it s the right thing to do. i think he should try to get after it. too much is at steak. if you are passionate about the country and care about the direction we are going in and i believe that he is you have to fight for her. for the rest of us, for the american people. show us that no matter who our enemies might be, no matter who comes against us, you are going to be the president that we can can t on know to could cowher. sean: i think romney has made a mistake. if this was the media, they would go after him with a vengeance. why doesn t he realize that? he might, sean. i think that romney s doing the right thing. sean: why? it s a different world. things aren t good. the economy should be the
upset. and a politician. has a different set of principles. but you just said he was a man of integrity and heart? before he got in that circle. which circle? that circle of once you get in that sucked into that world later on? at the national level? sean: he was a man of integrity, of heart, of principles. but reverend wright, in this interview, knowing an important re-election is coming up, is saying, he is no longer no longer that man. no longer the man you thought he was in 2008, that the public thought he was in 2008. he has changed. he has become a different person. sean: now, wright did say that obama told him that, quote, they don t want a black man with his finger on the nuclear trigger. he is quoting barack obama on that, right? right, right.
