From Cracking the Code:
"Thom Hartmann ought to be bronzed. His new book sets off from the same high plane as the last and offers explicit tools and how-to advice that will allow you to see, hear, and feel propaganda when it's directed at you and use the same techniques to refute it. His book would make a deaf-mute a better communicator. I want him on my reading table every day, and if you try one of his books, so will you."
—Peter Coyote, actor and author of Sleeping Where I Fall
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Through compelling personal stories, Hartmann presents a dramatic and deeply disturbing picture of humans as a profoundly troubled species. Hope lies in his inspiring vision of our enormous unrealized potential and his description of the path to its realization."
—David Korten, author of Agenda for a New Economy, The Great Turning, and When Corporations Rule the World
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann is a creative thinker and committed small-d democrat. He has dealt with a wide range of topics throughout his life, and this book provides an excellent cross section. The Thom Hartmann Reader will make people both angry and motivated to act."
—Dean Baker, economist and author of Plunder and Blunder, False Profits, and Taking Economics Seriously

ISIS uses religion as a justification to rape, plunder, and seize power. The Oregon militia uses sham patriotism as justification to, trespass, threaten with gun violence, and seize land that belongs to all of us. It doesn't take a lot to program the minds of goofballs no matter what corner of the world they're from. Just ask those behind the scenes at the Fox News propaganda headquarters. My advice to the Oregon Militia members...get a real job, a union one.
Of coursed, its a fact they are being treated differently, if they were black,hispanic, or native they would have been out with Black Hawk hellicopters and all,and they would all be dead.
