From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Right through the worst of the Bush years and into the present, Thom Hartmann has been one of the very few voices constantly willing to tell the truth. Rank him up there with Jon Stewart, Bill Moyers, and Paul Krugman for having the sheer persistent courage of his convictions."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"With the ever-growing influence of corporate CEOs and their right-wing allies in all aspects of American life, Hartmann’s work is more relevant than ever. Throughout his career, Hartmann has spoken compellingly about the value of people-centered democracy and the challenges that millions of ordinary Americans face today as a result of a dogma dedicated to putting profit above all else. This collection is a rousing call for Americans to work together and put people first again."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Never one to shy away from the truth, Thom Hartmann’s collected works are inspiring, wise, and compelling. His work lights the way to a better America."
Would someone do some background on Colin Powell for Thom's education...please? Powel made his "chops" for along term military/political career while he served in Vietnam. Powell was put in charge of the "Mi Lai Massacre" atrocities and managed to get the world to believe that it was ALL Lt. Calley's [sp] responsibility. However...the FACTS ARE...that the Penatgon had earlier instituted a "ground fighting policy" of shooting first...killing anyone in the villages...including women, children and other innocents who just happened to live in their huts...and NOT ASKING QUESTIONS!
SOOO...it really gauls me to have Thom speak highly of Colin Powell...a "Pentagon Hitman" just as is John MacCain...who someone should ALSO do some background work on. Then you will see that THIS McCain-"the Black Sheep" of the McCain military family tree, was incompetent [losing FIVE aircraft]...and that after getting captured in Vietnam, he "sang like a bird" when tortured. AND, just because McCain WAS a McCain, he was offered "early release" from the North Vietnam POW facility, BUT it was refused, austensibly so that McCain could eventually become a "National Hero"...and important political figure...ALWAYS ON THE SIDE OF WHAT THE PENTAGON WOULD WANT!!! This is WHY he settled in AZ...the military, the repubs, the local conservatives, and AIPAC's assets in Pheonix, would get him easily elected every six years.
PLEASE...ask Thom to stop spreading "mis-information" about Powell and McCain...both are awful republican political/military "talking heads".
Thank you. Love, Peace and Progres...
