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 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:
"Through compelling personal stories, Hartmann presents a dramatic and deeply disturbing picture of humans as a profoundly troubled species. Hope lies in his inspiring vision of our enormous unrealized potential and his description of the path to its realization."
Merritt Garland is a pawn, a centrist moderate widely respected by both sides, already haven been confirmed by the current sitting senators for Chief Justice in federal courts. Republicans have held high praise for Garland in the past. President Obama is letting Americans see just how far republicans will go to obstruct his authority as President.
From what I have read and heard about Merritt Garland from Free Speech TV talking heads and various newspaper accounts, Judge Garland appears to be to the right of center....conservative along the lines of Sandra Day O'Connor....which may not be to the liking of the neo-conservative T-partiers.
As for his prosecution of Timothy McVeigh, he never searched for McVeigh's accomplice.
