DU's hit the big time!

[senseandsensibility]

For the past two days, Thom Hartmann has been mentioning DUers and their writings on his radio show. Yesterday it was Nance Greggs (he quoted extensively from her journal) and today it was rateyes. He gives credit to Democraticunderground.com and gives the website name clearly. I wonder who will be featured tomorrow?

[Flabbergasted]

1. Wow. nt

[senseandsensibility]

3. Is that a note of sarcasm I detect?

Just kidding. It was a big deal to me.

[Flabbergasted]

4. It sounded unenthusiastic didn't it?

How bout this:

WOW!!!

Better?

[senseandsensibility]

5. Better!

:hi:

6. Yoo-hoo! I'm ready for my close-up, Mr. Hartmann!

Sorry, Mr. Hartmann, I can go where?

Oh.

[senseandsensibility]

7. Thom wouldn't diss you like that!

He's not Randi. Oops...did I say that? Edited to add that this was supposed to be a reply to the poster above.

8. I'm betting on "TreasonousBastard" and the Al Gore Wins post!

Although, I can't seem to find it now, or I'd link it.

9. Check my journal please Mr. Hartman

Hi, my name is Shadow and I'm an attention whore.

10. Reciprocity is great

I listen to him religiously every day when I work out. He really motivates me to kick ass in the gym and out in the world. So it's great that he's returning the favor, so to speak!

28. Do you remember what he was talking about re: Rateyes? Please tell me it was this post:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x2009115

It was mentioned that the best way to get anything started about that post was to get it out to anyone and everyone, If he was talking about it, I'm so glad that people are getting the word out here and that he picked the ball up and ran with it. Beautiful!! (Even if he QB'd it into the endzone, it's all good!!

[senseandsensibility]

29. Yes!

It was that post. He read excerpts from it and credited rateyes by name.:)

[rateyes]

31. I just found out about this today. Damn, I missed it!! nt

[senseandsensibility]

36. Did you find out from this thread?

I always kind of imagined that hosts had to call people before they read their stuff, or seek their permission or something. I guess not if it's posted on public forum. Anyway, it was great and I think you can link to his broadcast on his site if you want to hear it.

[Yael]

32. Excellent!

Great Job Ratsy and Nancy!! :applause:

[Swamp Rat]

33. Hi Thom!

Been a listener of your show for many years. :hi:

When I listen to your show, I feel like I am in class... and this is good. :D
