- Last week on the 10th October an old and dear friend of Thom's died, Armin Lehmann. The 16 year old courier kid who was the last person to see Hitler alive, as portrayed in the movie "Downfall", was Armin. Thom was teaching workshops in the travel industry with him in the late 80s years before he found out.

"I'm afraid if he wins, the black will take over. He's not a Christian! This is a Christian nation! What is our country gonna end up like?"
"When you got a Negro running for president, you need a first stringer. He's definitely a second stringer."
"He seems like a sheep - or a wolf in sheep's clothing to be honest with you. And I believe Palin - she's filled with the Holy Spirit, and I believe she's gonna bring honesty and integrity to the White House."
"He's related to a known terrorist, for one."
"He is friends with a terrorist of this country!"
"He must support terrorists! You know, if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it must be a duck. And that to me is Obama."
"Just the whole, Muslim thing, and everything, I mean, everybody's still kinda, and a lot of people have forgotten about 9/11, but... I dunno, it's just kinda... a little unnerving."
"Obama and his wife, I'm concerned that they could be anti-white. That he might hide that."

From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann is a literary descendent of Ben Franklin and Tom Paine. His unflinching observations and deep passion inspire us to explore contemporary culture, politics, and economics; challenge us to face the facts of the societies we are creating; and empower us to demand a better world for our children and grandchildren."
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:
"I think many of us recognize that for all but the wealthiest, life in America is getting increasingly hard. Screwed explores why, showing how this is no accidental process, but rather the product of conscious political choices, choices we can change with enough courage and commitment. Like all of Thom’s great work, it helps show us the way forward."
