From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann seeks out interesting subjects from such disparate outposts of curiosity that you have to wonder whether or not he uncovered them or they selected him."
From Screwed:
"The powers that be are running roughshod over the powers that OUGHT to be. Hartmann tells us what went wrong — and what you and I can do to help set American right again."
From Cracking the Code:
"No one communicates more thoughtfully or effectively on the radio airwaves than Thom Hartmann. He gets inside the arguments and helps people to think them through—to understand how to respond when they’re talking about public issues with coworkers, neighbors, and friends. This book explores some of the key perspectives behind his approach, teaching us not just how to find the facts, but to talk about what they mean in a way that people will hear."
Actually both are a yes, and I will add that even on MSNBC Bernie is rarely being mentioned while its plastered with stuff about Hillary Clinton, and the republican clowns.
It was great listening to Senator Sanders again today. He is an oxymoron, a politician who cares. I am greatly inspired by President Obama's candidacy and worked hard for his election. I plan to do the same for Senator Sanders. While I understood that President Obama could probably not fulfill all of his campaign promises, he has come extremely with absolutely no thanks from the republicans. So much so, something with the gravitas of the TPP threatens to undermine a lot of what President Obama means to progressives. There is no such mysterious with Senator Sanders. I am reassured and comforted by Senator Sanders past accomplishments and his deeply moving sincerity.
That said, there is no doubt that the so called liberal media, typified by the Sunday morning political talk shows, has done everything possible to avoid having Senators Sanders as a topic, let alone a guest.
I agree with you Dane. Both are yes. I was disapointed with both, Jon Stewart, and David Letterman. Nether showed Bernie the respect he deserves...!
I agree....both yes choices apply. I listen to talk radio all day and I do not hear other talk show hosts beat Bernie's bandwagon. AND, I have yet to hear a mainstream newscaster discuss Bernie -- everything is Hillary his, Hillary that.
I am tired of hearing about Hillary although I concede we would be in a different place had she won the 2008 election rather than Obama.
My personal view was that Obama needed to stay in the Senate to get more seasoning -- he was too inexperienced for the presidency which showed in his ignoring the opportunity to pass needed reform legislation while his party controlled both houses and also his secrecy in keeping the public in the dark as to what his administration was doing....FDR would have been giving his informational Fireside chats which I remember very well.
We could have had a great 16 yr run with Hillary first and then Obama plus we would not be mired in all this war expansion. They say GWB was the War President. I have news for you, Obama is the War President....he should give back his "Peace" medal.
I am putting my money on Bernie. I think he mostly resembles FDR in many ways....maybe a bit of Truman, too. I don't think Bernie would blink twice to subpoena Congress to return to D.C. for a special session to pass a budget. Ahh, the good ol' days when presidents had spunk.
This is why I feel that, yes, we do need to reverse Citizens United; but, just as much (IF NOT MORE) we need to overturn the FCC Ruling that took our networks and made them corporate propaganda machines.
Our airwaves use to be public domain. With our (somewhat ignorant) citizenry being spoon-fed hate and fear, we just have no coesion as a population. Where we get truer news from RT and Al Jazeera, it is truly a filthy mess.
