Day in and day out, Thom Hartmann speaks what I've been thinking and feeling.
Edited on Tue Jan-26-10 05:54 PM by NRaleighLiberal
I always try to catch his show - and today he was incredibly spot on (every day, actually - but today he hit the sweet spot of reality that it was like a jolt). If you do not listen to his show, it is at your intellectual peril. His insights are so spot on, though admittedly chilling with respect to the whole message of "Hope". But I think reality is much more important in these terrible (and worsening) times.

When he played the clip of McCain essentially suggesting exactly what Obama is now suggesting in the debates....I nearly drove off the road!

And if you are reading this, Thom - thanks for speaking to truth. And don't ever stop!

4. Thom
Well educated, nice voice, extremely quick, knows his stuff over sideways square and round.

It would be nice if he filled in for Papatonio over at Fox occasionally, as Pap seems to be over their fighting all by himself.

The recent chat with Nader was awesome. Ralph read Thom's books and some are used for college classes!

I hope his visibility in MSM grows. Yah listening - MSNBC Lib Line up?

12. I never miss his show
Despite my troubles with high speed internet, I always manage to listen to him.

He's a true beacon in these murky times. He has a way of simplifying things that astounds me.

Sorry to sound like a fanboy, but I'm really in tune with his way of thinking.

16. A gentleman and a scholar, the best expression of the American principle with any voice
that has some reach. Do you think we can we get him to do a lecture series on United States history, so we have a more genuine example of what the nation was to be to share with our young? If the victors write the history, the corporations are about to be even more glorified. I doubt they'll be taught about what they've lost since the new millennium started.

K n R because Thom's the best of the best of us. Tag

21. Hi Techy Readers, then.
Too entrenched in the last century, tonite is the first time I cut and pasted a piece from a 'sister' board. Too much to learn, and not enough cash to get my hands on any of it.

20. K and R
Thom is probably the best, but I listen to them all, after years of listening to right wing talk it's so refreshing to hear any left wing.
