Thom Hartmann has Melissa Etheridge on right now

[Sebastian Doyle]

Talking about..... guess what?

[jonnyblitz]

1. she is talking about her wife/partner's BRILLIANT intellect!1

:o

[LostinVA]

9. UR 2 kewl 4 for a yamaka

Even though it's a religious hat that's just like my baseball hat. Except it's religious. Like a yamaka.

How teh fuck did she ever memorize her scripts?

[jonnyblitz]

15. be nice.

:rofl:

[LostinVA]

20. UR a h8er

She must be really, REALLY good in bed.

[Kitsune]

2. Aaaaaaand Thom Hartmann goes off.

It's bad enough I have to read DUers defending this tripe. Does he not watch Rachel Maddow? She's pretty much been disproving the whole "kinder gentler religious whacko" trope every night for the last week.

[mrreowwr_kittty]

5. That's too bad. I like Thom most of the time but he's really thick on this issue.

He's shown more scorn toward atheists than religious zealots lately.

[Thrill]

13. What makes her word the Gospel?

If I listened to Rachel Maddow, Obama wouldn't won the election

[Kitsune]

16. Whee, strawman.

Not that you care, but if you'd been watching her you'd have seen her play multiple clips that basically shred Warren's credibility.

I know she caught a lot of shit around here for not being OMG OMG OMG WE'RE GONNA WIN 24/7, but she's still probably the smartest person on television. :/

[JuniperLea]

3. Thom Hartmann was the first I ever heard...

Praising the pick for inaugural prayer.

See my sigline. This reaching out could be done anytime... any OTHER time.

[eleny]

4. "If he starts spewing hate, then we'll know...."

Melissa, he's already done that.

The milk in my coffee is curdling. Ack!

[LostinVA]

11. Did she not see his BRAND NEW VIDEO

I've liked her since 1987. I've SUPPORTED her since then. Haruka bought me her Xmas CD two weeks ago. THE HELL WITH HER.

[eleny]

12. His view of women is an eye opener

This is an issue with lots of depth.

I caucused for Obama. But we all have a line in the sand. I'm a woman, my brother rest his soul was tv and I have gay cousins. My line in the sand has been more than crossed.

:hug:

[LostinVA]

19. WSarren is insidious

And, he's a apparently a Domionist.

[Sebastian Doyle]

14. I guess not

I don't know. Melissa seemed to be saying that the Rick Warren she met and spoke to was somehow different than the way he's portrayed in the corporate media, and that he's not a bad guy.

If he has all her albums, I guess he never paid any attention to the lyrics.

[Laughing Mirror]

17. He told her he had her albums over the telephone

And she took his word for it, apparently. How could she verify it, to see if he was telling the truth? Furthermore, why would she doubt what he was saying was true? It was what she wanted to hear.

[LostinVA]

18. He's charismatic, that's how he's made it

[IndianaJones]

6. 2 kewl. nt.

[Captain Hilts]

7. Does Mel think it's okay to condemn Catholics and Jews to Hell?

Just curious.

[Metric System]

8. "Talking about..... guess what?" Her new CD?

[mondo joe]

10. I'm guessing either her CD, or how she is or isn't equivalent to a child molester.
