–Gordon Klingenschmitt, former Navy Chaplain, joins us to discuss his opposition to abortion at military hospitals, and also adds that he is against gay marriage for reasons indicated by God.

–Richard Wolff, Professor Emeritus of Economics at the University of Massachusetts and David Pakman’s former professor joins us live to discuss Christine O’Donnell’s socialism definition, claims of socialism by right-wingers, and more.

–The new Thanksgiving iPad giveaway is underway.

–Bill O’Reilly’s incident on The View, causing Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar to walk off the set. We discuss why O’Reilly is wrong to say what he did, and whether the walkout was planned schtick.

–Brett Favre sent nude pictures of himself to a woman after she rejected him twelve times, and we discuss the connection between this type of activity and similar stunts by politicians, and get Louis’ recommendations on when to send the pictures.

–A McDonald’s happy meal barely changes during 6 months on the counter, and we wonder what on earth is in the food.

–The 2010election is closing in, and Teabaggers shouldn’t order the drapes before they’ve signed the mortgage.

–Christine O’Donnel’s bizarre debate performance, unusual debate demeanor, and incredible statement asking where the Constitution prescribes separation of church and state, plus a comparison of O’Donnell’s delivery to Miss South Carolina’s.

–In a story that would be unbelievable as a movie script, gay-bashing Carl Paladino ran multiple gay nightclubs, and sent lesbian pornography and bestiality to his friends in emails.

–The New York Gubernatorial debate, at which Paladino was overshadowed by Jimmy McMillan of The Rent is Too Damn High Party.

–Colorado Republican candidate Ken Buck likens homosexuality to other conditions people can be born with, so as being alcoholics, and we pull from the archives to find a clip of Paul Cameron making the same comparison with drugs on our show.

–A warning about the Tea Party, which is offering no solutions, no real hope, and is preying on voters’ emotions, as well as why the GOP is hoping for voter amnesia in their quest to take over the House and Senate.

–On the Members Podcast this week: David’s run in with the police involving a hammer on the way to the studio, Jan Brewer’s possible health problems, the new iPad giveaway, more proof about the influence of right wing media on real life violence, more.
