Is is the lack of emotion?
I disagree with his analysis of the Kennedy Assasination. But that's not a big deal.
He wrote a long diatribe supporting the notion that only the Congress can interpret the Constitution. I abhor this notion.

(19,053 posts)Listening to Thom yesterday, it occurred to me that he can not properly speak to the predicament that we are in as a nation because of that piece of work that he published. He was saying that we need a movement to move the politicians to make them work on our behalf, and all I could think of to yell at the radio is that traditional movements are no longer effective here since the four assassinations in the 60's. Politicians most certainly are aware of what we want, but now they are groomed to pay us lip service while doing exactly the opposite of what we want.
I love listening to Thom's show, I almost always learn something. But I feel like he boxed himself into a corner with that crappy book about JFK and can't help but wonder if he regrets it.
