Did Anyone Else Hear Thom Hartman's Guest Just Now?
Edited on Mon Apr-07-08 03:43 PM by fascisthunter
Jayzus.... she sounded like she was on meth..... she talked rapidly, it didn't even matter what she was saying. She just kept interrupting Thom. And once he made excellent points she just called him crazy. She had no rebuttal left so she tried hitting below the belt. The old, "if ya can't beat them in debate, get personal" tactic we see all too often with many shills out there in TV land and on the radio get their backs up against the wall. He gave her facts, undeniable facts that prove conservative economics have increased productivity at the expense of the average American worker's salary. Our wages have only gone up 39% since 1969 while everything else has gone way up!!!!!!


What really boils my blood is these conservative types, love to tell us they are the ones creating jobs...... WRONG! We create productivity for their profit making. We offer them labor... they don't create a god damn thing!

:nuke:

1. My car should run as efficiently as her mouth.
She was from a group called Independent Women's Forum.

Makes me wonder what the meaning of "independent" is.

2. I caught That Too... More Orwellian Marketing from the Right Wing
All marketing..... there is nothing "independent" about her talking points.

4. Thanks for the thread
I keep forgetting when Thom is on.

Thom and Peter Werbe are the best ones on the radio.

6. I Like Peter Too....
All in all we have some good folks on. I'm not too crazy the style of a couple of them, but I have say, they need to be good, in order to be in the biz. There aren't many positions or radio talk shows that offer positions.

14. IWF - from their "about us" page...
The Independent Women's Forum is a non-partisan, 501(c)(3) research and educational institution. Founded in 1992, IWF focuses on issues of concern to women, men, and families. Our mission is to rebuild civil society by advancing economic liberty, personal responsibility, and political freedom. IWF builds support for a greater respect for limited government, equality under the law, property rights, free markets, strong families, and a powerful and effective national defense and foreign policy. IWF is home to some of the nation's most influential scholars—women who are committed to promoting and defending economic opportunity and political freedom.


I think they've got every buzz word in there except anti-abortion and anti-gay-rights.

They're just another deluded group who think "Leave it to Beaver" and "Father Knows Best" were documentaries.

17. She didn't understand what he was saying, and she wasn't interested
in trying to figure it out. " No one "creates" jobs. I hire someone to do something that it's not worth my time to do."
