of sarah palin "? guest: as i watched the press coverage unfold i was amazed at the myths and exaggerations' that were being told about her by some of our most established news media. people said that she was a supporter of pat buchanan. she was not. people said that she was a supporter of the alaska independence party. she was not a member. rumors about the maternity of her youngest child were circulated. all of these rumors and lies, i decided that we should catalog them to show that not only were all of these myths propagated, but also to try to explore the question of why. i think that why is the more interesting question. sarah palin has this unerring ability to summon up the worst feelings in her opponents. it is really quite amazing. host: what is that quality? why is that quality bear? why does it have the effect that it has? guest: personally i think that she represents most of the things that the left in this country want to change about america. they do not like her forthright christianity.

what does sarah palin say about this? she said this. the associated press and a number of subsequent media outlets are erroneously reporting the contents of the book. >> she may have a point you need to read the whole thing and get context. i agree with that. we have excerpts from the oprah interview. >> we have some snippets. let's take a listen. >> let's talk about the interview with katie couric. >> must we? okay. okay. >> you talk about it in the book. i assume everything in the book is fair game. >> it is. >> you do say that it wasn't your best interview. >> here again -- >> did you think that was a defining moment for you, that book? >> i did not. neither did the campaign. that is why segment two and three and four and five were scheduled. the campaign said right on. good. you're showing independence. this is what america needs to see. that's a good interview. i'm thinking if you thought that was a good interview, i don't know what a bad interview was. i knew it wasn't a good interview. >> more bad blood between her and the mccain

>> everyone wants to talk about sarah palin. she is a new polarizing force. people doubt she has viability as a 2012 candidate but ask about that a lot. what does that mean? has she filled a void in republican leadership? she is able to carry a lot of weight on issues like death paddles and the health-care debate and a tremendous amount of money. she also endorses candidates to her benefit. it leads to a surge in support. she wields a tremendous amount of power. she is not appealing to moderates or independents. in terms of her political future is hard to say. she has a lot of challenges. michele obama is stretching the boundaries of being a first lady. she is a modern woman, very adept at being a mother as well as being a first lady, champion causees and she will improve in the role of women overall in terms of her professional nature. she was a working mom before she came to the white house. a different experience. i look forward to seeing where she takes it. >> is very woman out there right now who you see as the next politician presidential nominee? >> as

sarah palin and john mccain had been ahead. we were looking pretty seriously at a future of a mccain/palin ticket winning. and then, lehman brothers collapse. there is a two-week period, august 30 when lehman brothers collapsed in september, and after the lehman brothers collapse, barack obama found his voice and he started talking about how this financial crisis was not the result of just one or two bad apples but a result of ideology of the regulation. -- of deregulation that had gripped the united states for eight years, and that is where he was not telling the truth. it was not just the bush years. democrats and talking about what gives me a little bit of a different perspective is because i do not live in the u.s.. i am much less partisan. i am not driven by a desire for democrats to win elections. that is not what drives my riding. -- my riding. -- during that election campaign, we knew damn well that the key pieces of legislation that created the economic crisis had been created during the clinton years. -- that is not w

. >>> if you were sarah palin would you almost son-in-law be coming to thanksgiving dinner. here's a sneak peek of her interview. >> will he be invited to thanksgiving dinner? >> you know, that's a great question. it's lovely to think that he would ever even consider such a thing. because, of course -- he is a part of the family. you want to bring him in fold. he needs that, too. he needs to know that he is loved. he has the most beautiful child. this can all work out for good. it really can. we don't have to keep going down this road of controversy and drama. we're not into the drama. we're more productive. we have other things to concentrate on including -- >> does that mean yes or no? >> palin was anything but upbeat when talking about her interview with katie couric during the 2008 presidential race. that's new in about 30 minutes. >>> you wouldn't be inviting levi for the conversation. >> better chance of the turkey talking to you. have you finally gotten off the kids' table yet? it took me a few years. when i first started throwing it at my own house, no, no, you're si
