From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"Hartmann combines a remarkable piece of historical research with a brilliant literary style to tell the grand story of corporate corruption and its consequences for society with the force and readability of a great novel."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann channels the best of the American Founders with voice and pen. His deep attachment to a democratic civil society is just the medicine America needs."
From Screwed:
"Hartmann speaks with the straight talking clarity and brilliance of a modern day Tom Paine as he exposes the intentional and systematic destruction of America’s middle class by an alliance of political con artists and outlines a program to restore it. This is Hartmann at his best. Essential reading for those interested in restoring the institution that made America the envy of the world."
Perhaps Democratic politicians should put a disclaimer in their ads of some organizations that are not sponsoring them... ie: "This ad was not paid for by an oil company or any of their made up subsidiaries!" or "This ad was not paid for by a homophobic group" etc, etc... Would there be anything illegal about that? I don't think so, they can always add their usual disclaimer of who did pay after that anyway.
