Demanding uncritical fealty to a media personality [View all] BainsBane Aug 2017 OP

I'm seeing weird stuff like "If you disagree w Mr X on statement Y, you clearly hate Unions!" emulatorloo Aug 2017 #1

It's that sort of thing exactly BainsBane Aug 2017 #4

THANK you, Hartmann is the king of non-sequiturs and bizarre leaps R B Garr Aug 2017 #26

To clarify my comment wasn't about Thom so much emulatorloo Aug 2017 #33

I hate that kind of BS too. Alice11111 Aug 2017 #51

"Hartman's statements justifying Russian interference in elections in the West demonstrate as much." NurseJackie Aug 2017 #2

Outstanding! Leith Aug 2017 #3

A thread of great minds. Duppers Aug 2017 #10

Thank you for posting this. Maven Aug 2017 #7

I have listened to Thom Hartman for about 10 years now and I always thought of him as being world wide wally Aug 2017 #8

Answer is--he said nothing supporting Russia in the elections. Akamai Aug 2017 #18

Your OP BainsBane Aug 2017 #23

Here's the controversial Russian discussion Bradical79 Aug 2017 #38

Excellent!! Duppers Aug 2017 #9

recognizing an ally is not the same as ProfessorPlum Aug 2017 #11

Recognizing when an ally has become no longer an ally is tough Hekate Aug 2017 #12

apparently not too tough ProfessorPlum Aug 2017 #14

Yes it does! hrmjustin Aug 2017 #16

Only to launch a "counteroffensive" BainsBane Aug 2017 #24

As long as one does not assume BainsBane Aug 2017 #19

Well, he's not an ally Bradical79 Aug 2017 #39

Your mileage may vary, of course ProfessorPlum Aug 2017 #40

Fair enough -nt Bradical79 Aug 2017 #42

True. I recall a few years ago treestar Aug 2017 #13

I've only seen a few threads about Hartmann leftstreet Aug 2017 #17

I didn't claim it was BainsBane Aug 2017 #21

Who are this people and why should I care? hunter Aug 2017 #20

Do you care that the Kremlin subverted democracy? BainsBane Aug 2017 #22

What democracy? Some T.V. democracy? It's not real. hunter Aug 2017 #25

Are you saying Russian election interference isn't real? BainsBane Aug 2017 #32

No. hunter Aug 2017 #41

I don't appreciate the efforts to normalize it BainsBane Aug 2017 #44

Our Constitutional democracy. With all its flaws, we've never had a Presidential election pnwmom Aug 2017 #58

Oh come on LiberalLovinLug Aug 2017 #27

Excellent points Bradshaw3 Aug 2017 #31

"The idea that Hartmann is some kind of double agent propagandist for Putin is absurd. " emulatorloo Aug 2017 #34

How, exactly, is a show on RT "removed" from RT? mcar Aug 2017 #36

He has his own daily YouTube show LiberalLovinLug Aug 2017 #46

Also on RT mcar Aug 2017 #47

Ask him. Maybe you should check it out LiberalLovinLug Aug 2017 #55

"The Big Picture with Thom Hartmann is filmed live and broadcast from the RT America studios ucrdem Aug 2017 #69

K&R! Thank you! R B Garr Aug 2017 #28

I have seen no evidence of this claim Bradshaw3 Aug 2017 #29

I have read similar things about The Nation, and similar suggestions of a fealty to Russia. guillaumeb Aug 2017 #30

Thank you LiberalLovinLug Aug 2017 #43

You agree there is BainsBane Aug 2017 #71

If this is indeed the crux of your argument, guillaumeb Aug 2017 #80

Transparent deflection BainsBane Aug 2017 #81

First, if you insist on the allegation regarding Clinton, how can I take your guillaumeb Aug 2017 #82

"proof of fealty to Russia" BainsBane Aug 2017 #74

Russian intervention is all "speculation," you insist. BainsBane Aug 2017 #78

The worship of these figures by some is just bizarre mcar Aug 2017 #35

As is the belief by some that media commentators LiberalLovinLug Aug 2017 #45

Several OPs here in the last few days mcar Aug 2017 #48

You are sure are dedicated to ensuring BainsBane Aug 2017 #75

Yes. Worship. ProfessorPlum Aug 2017 #50

There are other possible explanations BainsBane Aug 2017 #70

I agree strongly or disagree strongly! SethH Aug 2017 #37

Still waiting Bradshaw3 Aug 2017 #49

Here BainsBane Aug 2017 #54

I had read both of those threads and they do not support your claims Bradshaw3 Aug 2017 #57

Listen rock Aug 2017 #52

They say that Hartmann doesn't post here anymore, but I wonder if that's true? Maybe he just..... Tarheel_Dem Aug 2017 #53

Just because someone managed to get a show on RT does not mean they are Russian shills or pro-Trump LiberalLovinLug Aug 2017 #56

It means they are lending their name, and helping to validate as a news source, RT. pnwmom Aug 2017 #59

Meh, I think the trade off is worth it LiberalLovinLug Aug 2017 #60

"Everyone" does NOT know that. Till last year, people here frequently posted things by RT, pnwmom Aug 2017 #61

Ok not 'everyone'. Everyone with half a brain LiberalLovinLug Aug 2017 #63

Unfortunately, people with less than half a brain still get a full vote, pnwmom Aug 2017 #64

You presume wrong BainsBane Aug 2017 #62

All I saw from your link is someone expousing a reason, not an excuse, why Russia has felt betrayed LiberalLovinLug Aug 2017 #65

You missed the point completely BainsBane Aug 2017 #68

Yes! I saw Hartmann's show on YouTube - does that mean that YouTube is in bed with Russia now? diva77 Aug 2017 #72

Jesus BainsBane Aug 2017 #73

I would appreciate a link to info. you are giving. diva77 Aug 2017 #76

Who demanded that? melman Aug 2017 #66

You're as capable of reading the responses in this thread as anyone else BainsBane Aug 2017 #67
