Anyone Have Thom Hartman on ? He's got Pat Nazi loving Buchanan on |
|
I'm sorry Thom, but I had to turn the sound off that you let this guy promote his Hitler loving book. You are not even doing a good job taking him on. Rachel would kick his ass.
I turned it off so I may have missed Thom kicking ass..
Did Thom kick his ass or did he let Pat dominate his show?

1. I came into it just before the commericial |
|
I was curious about Pat's new book because of the title. I'm going to listen to his argument.

2. Thom is way too reasonable. |
|
And Pat cannot be reasoned with. Pat's busy justifying the destruction of Jews. :puke:
Yes, it's hard to listen to. I don't know why this guy gets any time for his viewpoint at all.

3. Hartmann is making a mistake when he does things like this. |
|
While otherwise 'OK,' Hartmann is making a mistake by routinely giving whack jobs his air time to promote their crackpot notions. I suppose he thinks there is some value in doing this, but there really isn't any at all. I always turn off his program for the rest of the day as soon as one of these comes on.
In this case (and many others,) it's just his lazy producer finding someone promoting a book or something. Since it's really just an ad, I wonder if Hartmann gets paid for airing the guest's "infomercial."

5. Hartmann was a complete wussbag |
|
Unca Pat was spewing his Nazi racist crap and Thom just let him get away with it. Anyone saying that European culture is in danger of dying out is racist on two levels: 1) There is no such thing as "European Culture". My Sicilian ancestors had more in common with Moroccans than they did with Norwegians or English. "European Culture" is simply code for "white people". 2) There's no reason to assume that so-called "European Culture" will die out when adopted by non-Europeans, any more than Greek culture died when adopted by Romans or Roman culture died when adopted by northern Europeans. What he's really saying is that non-whites aren't capable of maintaining the knowledge and history of white culture.
And, of course, Pat just comes out and says that European (white) culture is superior to non-white culture. Why the hell does Hartmann even bother with such a hatemonger?

And I only heard the end of it, but she gave him every opportunity to be the "Hale fellow, well met" --- just the cuddly humorous guy --- whaaat??????
I was just going to put Hartman on -- will skip it -- I have to pick up his telephone number for call in cause he really irritates me sometimes.
He's so logical so much of the time --- and then other times his brain just jumps the tracks . .. ???

12. No. I think he is part of the Jones Radio Network. |
|
They have Ed Schultz and Stephanie Miller.
WWRC-AM 1260 in DC covers a mixture of Air America and the Jones Network.

13. He'll be coming up at 5pm (PDT) on XM, here in Seattle |
|
I have it set for auto-record, and I'll got through it later this evening.
I've become almost addicted to Thom, especially his Friday interviews with Bernie Sanders. Frankly, I really ENJOY his non-aggressive style with far right people. He doesn't have to "put them in their place" to prevail. And I usually learn much from the two-way dialog, when both sides aren't screeching at each other. Last week, I heard for the SECOND time, his interview with David Horowitz. Horowitz was "starting to lose it" that time, but it was still a worthwhile listen. And it ended on a civil note.
I say to Thom: "Keep it up! I like your style!"
