Thom Hartmann Needs a Permanent Spot
every American needs to hear what this guys says. He is the MOST KNOWLEDGEABLE voice out there. And he's polite, which is very difficult for most in our positions.

7. Ever Listen to Bob Kincaid
Edited on Tue Jun-20-06 07:26 PM by neoblues


He's another brilliant liberal speaker! I really enjoy listening to him, and somehow Head-On Radio is easier to listen to than Air America.

Head-On Radio Network: Bob Kincaid, Monday Thru Friday 7-10PM (on now!)

12. I don't think he convinces anyone though............
in fact, I think he makes freepers feel smarter. I, on the other hand, feel as if I've had a non-surgical lobotomy whenever I listen to Springer.

17. One time he inadvertently argued against the need for a........
minimum wage, that's when I called it quits for good.

6. His national show is at noon. If Al runs for the senate, it is a wonderful
opportunity for AAR to carry him. I agree. Thom, Randi, and Malloy are sharp.

8. We get Thom every day here.
9-12 AM

I'd much prefer he had that blowhard Schultz's spot at 12-3 though.

9. Thom is outstanding
IMO, he embodies what it means to be Liberal. I am so lucky to live in Portland and hear his show most mornings:)

11. Hartmann is great
I listen everytime that he fills in on AAR on XM. His regular show is rerun on Sunday mornings and it is one reason I haven't had good attendance at Church the past month or so.

18. I think AAR needs more diversity. Cliff Kelly from Chicago would be a
far better choice. He is well versed in national and international politics. He has a great sense of humor, he's African American and has a law degree. He was on the Chicago city council under mayor Harold Washington.

Here are some clips of his show. You can stream him from the station.

19. The Iron Man of Progressive talk.
Edited on Tue Jun-20-06 08:52 PM by Opposite Reaction
Three hours local, three hours national, and then sometimes fill in. Every hour relevant, informative and provocative. This guy is working damn hard to help save this country. Nice pipes, too.

I hate it when that racist asshole Lie & Steal republican from Cybercast News Service is on, but I know that Thom loves to debate and he is bringing out the radical right opinions into the open so that his listeners can learn and know what to expect when they encounter Ronnie Rightard at the water cooler. He also knows that when you give them enough rope they will hang themselves, like when the CNS asshole (WTF is his name?) said that inner city voters were not intelligent enough to vote.

Can you imagine him debating some of the RW blowhards on Hardball?
