    Kudos to you Kyra Phillips for your interview with Franklin Graham. His admission that his shins would be bloody had his
    mother been sitting next to him was something I never dreamed he'd ever say. Kyra you're incredible!

    Well, you gave Michelle Bachmann 3 opportunities this morning to clearly reject Rush Limbaugh's crudity. And, she did would not do it. This sends a very clear message about the thinking of GOP leadership and influentials. I guess Limbaugh is running the GOP and they are afraid to put him out. That's entertainment!

    The Oklahomian's that were on the program this morning with Kyra should have been on lost. I do'nt think they have a clue what's going on in this polictical world. If that was the best he talked with in smalltown U.S.A. we are in deep deep troulble.
    And why are we so agressive around the world. We as a nation worry about other countries and it seems they should be worried about us. Im afraid that the countries who we think support us are sitting in a back room (Americans not invited) plotting what do about us and our agressiveness. M.J. said look in the mirror

    Your guests missed a very important point on why Santorum lost the Catholic votes in Ohio and that is the fact that unlike at the beginning of his campaign he has gone off the Catholic teaching on Immigration and other socil justice issues. He even went as far as saying recently that the Bible does not require those who have to give to those who don't, when this is very clear in the Acts of the Apostles, when Jesus asks those who have two coats to gi8ve up one to a person without, and the writings of the Church Fathers of the early centuries show that the early Christian did exactly that. He joined the bandwagon of those who calll christian charity socilaism and class warfare and have divorced Christianity from its greatest force motif: sympathy and unconditional charity. This is a great pity!

    How dare you make a villain out of someone trying to give others a new beginning. I am not sure whether all of the pardons handed out by Hailey Barber were appropriate. But I am sure that taking a personal interest in helping two men,that have long worked in your home, prepare for their new life outside of prison is called kindness and should not be suspect. How is it that the world can love the family that helped Michael Oher and you can make us feel like the Barbers broke the law. I am all for generosity..the barbers get my vote on this one. And CNN gets one step closer to losing a once loyal viewer.
