1. Hartmann, Please!!!

Other than Hartmann it should be a good time. It's amazing that anyone not related to him actually listens to his show. I'll be there.

[dflprincess]

2. I like Hartmann's show

especially Fridays when he has Bernie Sanders on.

[Mnpaul]

3. I do too

Listening to him pick apart neocons like Podhoretz is music to my ears.

[HopeFor2006]

4. Hartmann is great

After Stephanie Miller he is my favorite on Air America.

[AllHereTruth]

5. Slow down there Bud.

Give me one reason why you hate on Hartmann?

[CubFan7125]

6. Talking Points

All he does is spout talking points. There is nothing funny on his show and when he slices up a neocon it's like watching a retarded kid get beat up. There's 3 reasons. Also for about the 16th million time Stephanie Miller is not on Air America. Either are Bill Press or Ed.

[AllHereTruth]

7. Do you have any other reasons? or is that it

Nothing Funny

and

Hes too good at rebutting a neocon

How are those bad things? Are you fucking serious?

[CubFan7125]

8. Yes I'm Fucking Serious

He's not funny. You think he actually put's every neocon who calls in on. Grow up. He only puts on the ones who he knows he can beat up on. It takes a real man to beat up on lesser minds. I'm not impressed. AM 950 locally thinks so much of this guy they don't even run him live. What does that tell you.

[AllHereTruth]

9. You have nothing

What AM 950 chooses to do and not to do has no influence on what i think of someone.

If someone is funny or not has no influence on whether they are a good talk radio host.

Pointing out how good he is at rebutting neocon lies is in no way a put down.

ClubFan7125. You have nothing.

[CubFan7125]

10. Thanks

You admit the guy's not funny. Thanks. Discussion over. If you want to listen to someone who isn't going to entertain, God Bless. Have a nice day.

11. ...

scratches head and wonders where you came from...

troll... maybe?

[CubFan7125]

13. Go To Hell

How can I be a troll. I said it should be a fun time. All this is because I think Thom Hartmann's an assclown. Everyone else on that list is great. Do I have to think just like you to be a good liberal. That kind of thinking is what neocon's do.

[Pierre.Suave]

14. Whatever you are

you sure have a lot of anger and aggression...

[CubFan7125]

15. Your Right

I become angry when I got called a troll. Do I have to think like every other liberal or I'm not a liberal? Once again this is all because I think Thom Hartmann's a bore. I kinda thought this would be a fun event to go to but know I'm not so sure. I really don't an to go to an event where someone is called a troll because he doesn't agree with everything someone else thinks. If I wanted to do that I'd go down to the XCEL and cheer for Cheney, Norm, GWB and that Old White Haired Guy like the rest of the lemmings will be.

[Pierre.Suave]

16. well

you seemed very angry long before I came into this thread.

So now whats your excuse?

[AllHereTruth]

17. Funny...

Because a guy is not "funny" he is not worth listening to.

Because a guy is not "funny" he should be ignored.

Because a guy is not "funny" it makes you think twice about going down to to the Xcel.

You sir need to take a step back. And think.

Try it out.

12. First thing in the morning I enjoy the laughs I get from Stephanie Miller's show

but I listen to Hartmann for information, not entertainment.

[Bjorn Against]

21. He isn't a comedian. His show is not supposed to be funny.

His show is about serious discussion of the issues, and Thom Hartmann knows the issues very well. If you are looking for comedy listen to Radio Disney or something.

[AllHereTruth]

18. Thom is Live

He is live on the west coast from noon-3pm. He is on air in the twin cities from 2-5pm

When it is 12:00 on the west coast it is 2:00 on in the twin cities.

So. Guess what. Thom Hartmann is live on AM 950.

[CubFan7125]

19. Get Your Facts Straight

If you choose to listen to a boring guy who could put a marching band to sleep, thats your business. I hate to break it to you but Thom is not live in the Twin Cities. This guy is so damn bad you don't even know your listening to a repeat. If you don't believe me go to ThomHartmann.com and read the 1st sentence. It says "Thom Hartmann is live daily from noon-3 PM ET". That would mean his show airs from 11-2 locally but I could swear thats when I listen to Ed.

Off topic but relevant. Besides Rachel Maddow and Ring of Fire Air America has nothing. All the best left talkers are syndicated by Jones or Nova. That gas tank is running on E. Even 950 is running away from them, their not branding themselves as Air America anymore. Thats the last I will post on Hartmann, this is ridiculous debate.

[dflprincess]

20. I stream Hartmann's show live from 11-2 (Central time)

which means he's on from 9-12 on the west coast. Ed Schultz is live on AM 950 from 11-2 here - I always have a disconnect if I go out for for lunch when I put the car radio on and it's Schultz instead of Hartmann.

[HopeFor2006]

22. I used to do the same!

But now I cannot connect from work anymore. :(
