Thom Hartmann: Has the Left Been Neutered?

Danny Goldberg, Bumping Into Geniuses, joins Thom Hartmann. Progressives across America are taking a civil libertarian approach when it comes to dealing with the Edward Snowden situation - but elected Democrats and corporate media liberals are calling for his head. What's causing this divide - and what does it say about the state of the left in America as a whole?

for bringing this divide in the party out in the open. It makes one wonder what Melissa Harris Perry would have said if the Snowden ordeal had occurred during the GWB years - a lot different I am sure. As a life long Democrat, I have never seen so much hypocrisy coming from the left.

MSNBC has turned into a sham for liberal views.

Thanks again Thom Hartmann for your bravery!

Not anymore, they're not. The Democratic Party is only slightly to the Left of the Right-wing nuts, heading over the cliff.
The sooner we understand that, the sooner we will be able to do something about it.

No need to really, they control most of our liberal organizations as well at the party itself...and have plenty of money to use to promote the right light way.

Miss Perry can talk, because no one is going to through her in a cell and abuse her...so her advice means nothing in my book.
