From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom is a national treasure. Read him, embrace him, learn from him, and follow him as we all work for social change."
From Screwed:
"The powers that be are running roughshod over the powers that OUGHT to be. Hartmann tells us what went wrong — and what you and I can do to help set American right again."
From Screwed:
"If we are going to live in a Democracy, we need to have a healthy middle class. Thom Hartmann shows us how the ‘cons’ have wronged this country, and tells us what needs to be done to reclaim what it is to be American."
Throughout the show today, Thom has been saying how Trump is adopting Reagan's positions. This worries me because many people love Reagan and make positive references about him. I think this reference might convince those on the fence to vote for Trump if they don't remember or don't know how bad Iran Contra and other issues at the time were.
I know this is from 2004, but there is a Gallup poll that shows Reagan is more revered after his presidency than during. Further, after someone dies, we tend to talk well of them.
