THE THOM HARTMANN PROGRAM JULY 19th, 2018

[FreepFryer]

1. That's spelled Kristallnacht, and Russia Today propagandist Thom Hartmann is part of the problem.

he willingly took Russian assistance for his program and his diversionist, divisionist propaganda continues to flow freely on DU.

[liberalnarb]

2. He left RT last year a few months after Rump took office

possibly for reasons related to the tRump-Russia connection. What diversion/divisionist propaganda?

[FreepFryer]

3. Equating scheuer's eliminationist nonsense with kristallnacht is propaganda to inflame US divisions.

It serves Russia.

Scheuer’s a whack job, but Hartmann is untrustworthy. He knew exactly who was paying him, and his rhetoric parallels Russia agitprop.

Hartmann is not to be trusted.

[liberalnarb]

4. Divisions between who? Dems and trumpers?

[FreepFryer]

5. Last time I checked we were still the United States. Remember that (n/t)

[liberalnarb]

6. Last time I checked I didn't recognize the country I'd grown up in.

[FreepFryer]

7. Then champion its return, rather than spew Russian agitprop from fellow traveler Hartmann. (n/t)

[liberalnarb]

8. I can't champion its return by uniting w/ people who think caging children is a fine policy.

[FreepFryer]

9. Then you are presupposing a breakup of the United States? That's insane and un-American.

Only people who have drunk the Russian / GOP Koolaid “can’t” pursue civil and peaceful resolution to this political crisis.

[liberalnarb]

10. My peaceful resolution is kicking their asses in the next elections.

[FreepFryer]

11. Fair elections require bipartisan unity for oversight and acceptance of the results...

...are you gonna kick every ass that doesn’t agree with yours?

[liberalnarb]

12. My point is that there are a substantial number of right wingers who will NEVER vote against trump.

Yes there are those that we can and must convert, other than that they just have to be defeated. With each wave of new voters turning 18 they are more and more outnumbered.

[FreepFryer]

13. I thought your point was that you couldn't unite with Republicans. But we are all Americans.

And conflating a right wing whack job’s murderous rhetoric with all Republicans doesn’t help that goal - to say nothing of disrespecting those who actually experienced it (to wit, correcting your misspelling would be a nice gesture on your part).

[liberalnarb]

14. The majority of registered Rs hold far right views like the ones expressed by the fringes.

That's where there party is now, and has been headed since at least as far back as Nixon...perhaps even Goldwater.

[FreepFryer]

15. Would you please correct your OP title's typo? There is a t at the end of that word.

I will leave your anecdotal account of Republican inner beliefs aside, as I don’t think blanket statements on DU as to what the majority of Republicans do or do not believe are credible (to say nothing of since Nixon).

[liberalnarb]

18. Sure nt

[Loubee]

16. Seeing how easy it is to divide Democrats, and the left in general,

even on sites of like-minded people like this, I can't help but despair sometimes. The Russians and GOP have it easy.

[FreepFryer]

17. It's not that easy... many of us know better. Sending you hope to counter that despair! nt)
