Hello All
Thom's blog in this space and moving to a new home.
Please follow us across to hartmannreport.com - this will be the only place going forward to read Thom's blog posts and articles.
Rasta,
WOW! Is this a case of hearing only what you want to hear? I didn't hear your version of Thom's comments...
I certainly don't like the right-wing ideologues in Israel, and I even question the legality or ethical position of the U.S. and Britain to push Palestinians off their land to establish Israel, but I don't think Thom is a "Zionist," etc.
Of course, that's YOUR opinion and this is MINE. So be it.
MCLEAN, Virginia - The federal government's most secure prison has determined that two books written by President Barack Obama contain material "potentially detrimental to national security" and rejected an inmate's request to read them.
Ahmed Omar Abu Ali is serving a 30-year sentence at the federal supermax prison in Florence, Colorado, for joining al-Qaida and plotting to assassinate then-President George W. Bush. Last year, Abu Ali requested two books written by Obama: "Dreams from My Father" and "The Audacity of Hope."
But...

INQUIRY: How can the sovereign nation, Israel, make peace the marketing campaign of the Arab countries of the region?
The folk calling themselves the ‘Palestinians” lack a leadership body interested in pursuing peace and nationhood. Until there are two sides of this issue at the table, I fear nor real resolution will surface.
Thom Hartmann is an obvious enabler of the Palestinian extermination

Sorry but I had to do it. On Wednesday, they were discussing hemp and marijuana. I posted, "Give them enough rope and they’ll hang themselves. Give them enough hemp and they’ll stone themselves." and ProgressiveMews corrected my by pointing out that hemp doesn't have enough THC to get you high.
I had to find someone to pass the karma to and unfortunately it happened to be you. Now it's your turn to pass the curse on to someone else. You have been deputized into the Fact Squad. Wear your badge proudly.
There is NO PBS. There is a PBC. The Service has been replaced with a CORPORATION.
Here's the link to the video clip about Cheney's private army (purportedly the CIA program Leon Panetta stopped immediately upon his awareness of it):

Gary R. Page,
Some critics of PBS have been calling it the Petroleum Broadcasting Service for years.
Conservatives have essentially destroyed its independence by cutting government funding and making it reliant on corporate underwriting and what is essentially commercials.
B Roll - thanx for screwing up a perfectly good wise-ass comment with the facts! ;D
Bill Moyers Journal - the exception to the PBS Health Insurance "rule"?
Tonight, Wendell Potter, the former President of Communications for CIGNA who gave the mind-blowing testimony before Congress a few weeks ago (a MUST READ: http://www.tnr.com/politics/story.html?id=a571410c-634b-4424-a6c1-d6760c... ) is going to be on Bill Moyers TONIGHT!!!

I had a friend who had a local radio show on a Dallas NPR station. He told me (in a straight forward manner) that PBS will not allow any negative stories or coverage of the oil industry due to the foundation sponsorships. That was eight years ago and I have been able to confirm this "bias" through acquiring my news with multiple sources. I quit funding the local station about three years ago and have stop listening as most of the "news" has trended toward lifestyle stories.
Thanks to CSPAN and BBC for their journalistic integrity. And to you and Rachel Maddow for supporting your opinions with facts.

Sarah Palin (Sarah Heath) was the captain and point guard of Wasila High School basketball team. Her nickname was Sarah the Barracuda, supposedly for her aggressive style of play. (That's the "official story" but others claim the nickname was related to something she did to get the starting point guard position.) Her high school team won the state championship in Alaska. That's why she used the point guard analogy.
Thom!
I'd love to hear you banter a bit with Melanie Sloan of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington . . .
do you think the christian right would like to have a theocracy here like irans?
I meant Germany, sorry.
German has non-profit private companies running mandatory "sickness funds", nonprofits who compete with each other for clients. Would this sort of option help the debate?
Gabriel - guess you weren't listening on Wednesday, huh?
I paid my son for grades, but I paid with rewards and punishments in mind. I paid $10 for an A, $5 for a B, 0 for a C, he owed me $5 for a D and $10 for a F. It helped him to concentrate and I only did it for a couple of years.

By the way - can anyone tell me why America's foremost "hockey mom" would be making basketball references in her resignation speech?
Thom;
I know you spoke about the article "The Great American Bubble Machine" the other day. I was wondering if you could consider having Matt Taibbi on your show because it was such an important story and I would like to hear from him.
Here's something I suspect we may be hearing on mornings in 2012 -
Good morning, Ladies and Gentlemen, and welcome to Fox & Friends ... I'm Tom DeLay, and here's my co-host, Sarah Palin ...
The sound of one patent clapping:
Does a patent have to respected when the earth looks like Mars?
that borowitz is great lol
I sit here in California, contemplating the three additional cents I had to spend in sales tax to buy my hotdog for lunch yesterday, simply because our legislative body’s members of one single political party signed onto the ‘Club for Growth’s’ NATIONAL ‘no-new-taxes’ pledge AND took this to mean it was stand to protect the interest on Paris Hilton’s inheritance instead of my pocketbook. Perhaps if our Governor weren’t such a girlie-man, he’d be able to real in at least one guy or gal from his own farging party and do the right thing by restoring the progressive tax system that once made California great.
i sick of people whinning about paying income taxes. what gets me made is having to pay $150 for a veicle sticker for a 4 cillinder truck or paying 25 cents for 15 minites on a parking meter
