From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"In an age rife with media-inspired confusion and political cowardice, we yearn for a decent, caring, deeply human soul whose grasp of the problems confronting us provides a light by which we can make our way through the quagmire of lies, distortions, pandering, and hollow self-puffery that strips the American Dream of its promise. How lucky we are, then, to have access to the wit, wisdom, and willingness of Thom Hartmann, who shares with us here that very light, grown out of his own life experience."
From Screwed:
"Thom Hartmann’s book explains in simple language and with concrete research the details of the Neo-con’s war against the American middle class. It proves what many have intuited and serves to remind us that without a healthy, employed, and vital middle class, America is no more than the richest Third World country on the planet."
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."
RE sociopathy. Yes. Didn't hear entire segment, but several of the comments Thom made regarding these people- -- I certainly agree with him. ( I am a psychotherapist and have over the past 30 years trained numerous agency staffs who deal with the public on how to deal with clients who are "difficult" have "thinking errors" , are "antisocial" etc. Whether or not all of the men Thom discussed are sociopathic, some of them certainly fall in the category I call "Chronically Hurtful People". I have recently published a book on that topic, and several readers have mentioned to me that the voting public should be among the readers. I describe these people are "expert at fooling others, and expert at elliciting support," including obtaining our votes!!. I know Thom is swamped with reading materials but I would, of course, love his take on my work.!) Thanks for a great show, as always. I am long time listener, long time fan. Roxanne
