Thom, I usually agree with your comments but today was terrible. This Rusty is totally off base, and you agreed with him. Shame on you.
Regarding the illegal immigrants - what would this country do without them. A family in Upstate NY, who own a very large dairy farm, milking 900 cows three times a day, could not be run without the illegals. They have tried for years to hire local and out of state people, but nobody wants the dirty work. Salary is good, and free housing, but Americans don't want a dirty job, and these great young Mexicans, show up to work, do a good job and appreciate having work. Did you read the article in the New York Times this week about dairy farms and illegals? Great article.
Also, Obama care is a step in the right direction. What this country needs is a one payer solution. My friend from Canada wishes she had never left, the health care worked well and it does so in other countries.

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 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."
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."
Once again, Thom Hartmann spends a gigantic amount of time playing patty-cake with another right-wing rattlesnake; getting poison spit in his face repeatedly while muttering, sputtering his tepid responses. What a waste of radio air-time. Doesn't Rush Limbaugh give these creatures enough air time? Why waste an hour responding to right-wingnut canned talking points?
I get it: The righties are selfish, self-centered, greedy, yellow-bellied ground crawling sidewinders; who want to steal our Social Security money and hand it to their rich masters. What elese do we need to know?
