BroThom not thinking too clearly like many Sanders supporters.

I thought I captured it but now when I try to bring it up - Tweet No Longer Exists.

I guess Mr Liberal Thom Hartmann thinks disabled people and old folks should have their right to vote taken away eh?

FU Thom and to you bros in arms at TYT as well!

Even though I am a Clinton supporter I still listen

Am having a hard time believing this happened. He has always been so respectful and careful with his words. I think his ratings are going up because of new listeners. Hope he doesn't lose track of right and wrong

I'm floored. I am sure he will apologize

ETA I guess he has apologized already I mustve missed it

I have seen several prominent people posting screen-caps of his tweet. I may have first seen it on Joan Walsh's TL, but it's getting passed around, it could have been any one of several folks.

Maybe someone actually thought about those who would have a hard time attending a caucus. Something your guy obviously didn't give a shit about.

For someone like him with a radio show that has to go after a HRC forum,it just shows how petty they are.

However, keep an eye out for disrupters. Now that he's named your site on Twitter expect visitors.

His comment/question was actually an observation that he noticed about Hillary's ground-game. He didn't realize that he was trolled into deleting because he took the "suggestions" seriously. I wouldn't harp on Thom too much, given his record with disability awareness research/causes.

He should stick with what he knows.

Not sure what this is suppose to imply "He didn't realize that he was trolled into deleting because he took the "suggestions" seriously."

better understand a campaign's approach means that the person asking knows nothing about politics???? And plus, as he stated, he thought the troll was serious when asking Thom to delete the tweet until he looks up the Hillary approach.

We will go from primary mode to general election mode.

I used to listen to him along time he always took the Dem side he is a progressive/liberal
but for me since Bernie was on his show every Friday Bernie is his friend I guess he is caught in the middle of this being his friend but he did say he would vote for Hillary if she is the nominee somewhere he has gone wrong he is from my hometown and we seen him in person when he came back here in Mich. He doesn't like the right wing I don't listen to him now maybe he will change after the primary ......not sure
And I didn't like Bernie then either when he was on his show......
