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 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."
Why oh why oh why isn't Grover Norquist arrested on sedition, interfering with the purpose of government, being a revolutionairy, being anti-government, etc. etc.!? Is it because he has money? Is it because Obama has to appease the same people\corporations that Grover speaks for? I give up!
telliottmbamsc: Because even a-holes like Norquist have freedom of speech.
This guy should play basketball with Jack Nicholson (One Flew OverThe Cukoo's nest) How can you impeach someone for allowing a bill set to expire, expire? I think there should be some way to expose his corporate backers.
I'm surprised that no one commented on the fact that the tax cuts don't expire until the end of 2012. If the Republicans intend to win the Presidential election in Nov, this would not be necessary, would it? Does this mean that they think Obama will be re-elected? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, food for thought. Oh yeah, and they will have enough votes in 2014 to impeach him? Double whammy, right? Grover Norqist thinks Obama will have a 2nd term. Why didn't Thom mention this? oversight? And, how does Norquist know they would have enough votes? What if we vote most of the Republicans out of the House and Senate? What then Grover?
He's wrong to begin with. The House impeaches (indicts) and the Senate tries (as in a trial). Clinton was impeached, but never tried.
