Time to Call Mass Shooters - and Those Who Inspire Them - Terrorists
 In America, hate is all too often triggered by politicians who then sanctimoniously offer "thoughts and prayers" when random (or stochastic) terrorists to do their evil work for them. A terrorist attacked Club Q in Colorado Springs Saturday night. Another terrorist attacked WalMart workers in Virginia yesterday. It's happened over 800 times this year. But nobody's calling them terrorists, and that's a problem for America. We didn't call the jihadis who blew up the Twin Towers "mentally ill," "disgruntled," or discuss their "troubled past." We correctly called them terrorists because they used mass murder to try to "right a wrong" or achieve a political goal, which is the literal definition of terrorism.Read more at HartmannReport.com. -Thom |

Hour One: Time to Call Mass Shooters - and Those Who Inspire Them - Terrorists
Tweet: " .@laurenboebert you have played a major role in elevating anti-LGBT+ hate rhetoric and anti-trans lies while spending your time in Congress blocking even the most common sense gun safety laws.
You don't get to "thoughts and prayers" your way out of this. Look inward and change." by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Tweet: " The news out of Colorado Springs is absolutely awful.
This morning the victims & their families are in my prayers.
This lawless violence needs to end and end quickly." by Lauren Boebert.

Quote: " Reefer makes darkies think they're as good as white men. The primary reason to outlaw marijuana is its effect on the degenerate races" - Harry Anslinger. Quote: " The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the anti-war left and black people. We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting people to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, break up their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did." - John Ehrlichman.
Hour Three: Are we surprised? Big business was giving big bucks to election deniers in the mid terms
Tweet: " One last item for your Thanksgiving dinner: some talking points when "that Uncle" comes "at you" about @POTUS." by Ronald Klain.
