In reply to the discussion: There are some on DU Calling for the banning [View all]Demsrule86
(68,735 posts)and he has had Jill Stein...the spawn of Satan on his show. During the primary, he followed the "Hillary did not have enough votes to clinch the nomination"...even after California. This was not true and I felt he was misleading Bernie supporters. At that point, I stopped listening to him. Everyone has an opinion but accurate information must be aired. That being said, I can turn the show off so I don't support blanket banning. Since the election, he has said Hillary Clinton is the only sane choice which is true. But many of those who call still say cruel,untrue things about her, and I don't see him correcting them often. So while I would not ban Thom, I don't listen much anymore. He is a smart guy, and I used to really enjoy his show. This has been a tough primary/election season, people I have long admired have disappointed me. I loved the Yount Turk and watched their shows every week when they were on the Gore channel and later on the net...but I would not now. It takes a certain amount of selfishness and privilege to be able to throw millions of vulnerable Americans under the bus by attacking Sec. Clinton: the only person who stands between us and Trump. Also, I don't like Stein and she has made more than one appearance on Thom's show. She was also on Make It Plain. Now any person or organization who writes and tapes videos that attack our nominee has no place here and should be called out every time. We support Democrats here. They can post elsewhere. This has nothing to do with freedom of speech and everything to do with our purpose here.
