Thom's Blog Is On the Move
By webmaster
Hello All
Thom's blog in this space and moving to a new home.
Please follow us across to hartmannreport.com - this will be the only place going forward to read Thom's blog posts and articles.
I wrote Thom earlier today regarding an Alaskan Pipeline Oil spill and I apologize foe getting some of my facts wrong. This took place in March of 2006. It seems that the leaking pipeline was responsible for much less oil on the ground than I remembered. “Alaska's Department of Environmental Conservation increased its estimate of the size of the spill, the latest estimate putting it at around 265,000 gallons.” Not the 500,000 barrels I had recalled. Still it was the largest pipeline oil spill ever recorded in the U.S. and it was as recent as four years ago.
This was in response to Thom's statement that the oil companies claim that they have significantly cleaned up their act and are much safer in their delivery of offshore oil.
Please see the article from The Independent, UK at the following URL:

Given the fact that this story was held so close to the vest, only one news cycle scroll bar, and the fact that one mistake can be so environmentally devastating, I do not wish to see any additional offshore leases opened up. If we truly need a transitional oil supply, why don’t we mandate that the oil companies drill and use the offshore leases they already have. Why do they need more?
Hey Thom, your NLP is quite blatant here as you somehow felt it important to add the adjective of “Mormon”. Well I suggest that if you want to add adjectives to people’s names then add “BLT believer” to Obama as in a counter argument: Barack Obama’s Black Liberation Theology
As far as “Faux news”, you certainly are one to throw rocks, right Thom?
Barack Obama’s Black Liberation Theology
Sueeeeee!!!????
“Wait you still think he’s religious?”
Who are you referring to? Thom?
godknows
Damn, Duplicate message even though "orginal". LMAO
Exactly, and Thom just lives in his dream world devoid of reality as his minions scurry around to protect him from the truth. Just on Thom’s there is a couple of lies pointed out and of course the usual suspects {rodeo clowns} had to pop out at: http://www.thomhartmann.com/board/./viewtopic.php?f=4&t=4000
Getting bored yet Sue??? You could end this if you had lived by your own stated rules...
Ever wonder why you are a hypocrite?

PS: SueN, bored yet??? Why not discuss the issues and not the personalities????
What you say????
Isn’t it so bad that your favorite bank along with your fascist promoter on your forum is against such propsals:
godknows
It still was not discussed in the Senate. Do you like the way the system works or only when it abides by your ideological slant.
godkonws
knows that answer…
David Noziglia, hahaha.
You ever attend a predominantly black attended church. I would assume not since you are a “practicing rationalist”. They stopped being churches long ago according to your definitions.
Here is an idea, why not convince your wife to attend another church??? One that makes her feel better. Where killing unborn babies are not frowned upon…
godknows
wants to know why you deleted this one also...
Sue???
What a hypocrite, Thom?
I listened enough to see that you have just as much hate speech as the next wingnut on radio. If you dropped this “con” or that ” con” wants to steal your money and make your children like “The Jungle” then you might have a point. Otherwise you are just like the rest Thom.
Just wondering Thom. Where were you when all the protests in Seattle happened? How about the violence perpetrated on Marine recruiting offices in San Fransisco??? You surely have selective attention!!!
godknows
you
The Bloom Box may be an important future source of clean energy. This story was featured on the Sunday show “60 Minutes.” A shorter story was highlighted on MSNBC. Fascinating (video): [When you begin playing the video, a short story that is not related will begin playing, it will only take a moment to wait for that to finish. Hang in there and watch the segment about The Bloom Box. ]

Thom is not crazy about the Aikido. When I worked on the Obama campaign, I mentioned to a fellow worker that I had heard Barack had indeed studied Aikido. I was quickly told to shhhhh- because there was no way to disclose this to the American public and to be sure they could comprehend what Aikido was and that it was something that Obama's team could explain without any back lash from the other side of the aisle.

Tea Party with a real agenda! What a concept, the corporate backers might not allow that.
@Nels: a progressive will stand for hours; a liberal will sit on your porch and whine for hours.
@nels okeydokey:D
@harry, when allegations came out that Gitmo prisoners were being forced to stand for hours at a time and it was equated to torture, Rumsfeld said he stood at his desk all day long, and if he could do it wasn't torture to make prisoners to do so.
@Nels: sorry, " I thought that was Rumsfeld"...what was Rumsfield?
The referenced ADP National Employment Report of 23K jobs lost does not tell the whole story.
Goods producing = -51K
Service providing = +28K
We are still on the path of becoming a service-based economy.

@harry, I thought that was Rumsfeld, and that's why making someone stand for long periods of time wasn't torture ;-)
@Pablito: Progressives stand for hours.
Tom just asked his caller from California,"If she would rather have GWBush or Ronney"
I say yes I would rather have GWBush or Ronney implementing GOP policies rather than a Prez who says he is a Dem implementing GOP policies.
We saw this before with BClinton and here we are again,with "progressives" defending Obama who is implementing GOP policies.
Just what do progressives stand for again ?

Thom maybe right about Obama's ability to win political points, but I'm still concerned about what those wins mean. Sure I'm happy that health insurance reform was passed, and its great that the Republicans are crapping themselves over it, but in the long run what do we have? I'm wondering what the unintended consequences will be.
