THOM HARTMANN SHOW - JAMMING CINDY'S CALLS? |
|
Edited on Tue Aug-09-05 12:12 PM by patrioticliberal
A woman called her local NBC affiliate: They said they had gotten a LOT of calls and are sending people out to interviewher..cameras, etc. PLEASE CALL YOUR LOCAL NBC AFFILIATE.
Also, a man called in and said he thinks it would be easy for the Bush Crime Family to be screwing with her cell phone reception - jamming it. Thom Hartmann (VERY RATIONAL PERSON, AMAZING HOST) agreed. BTW, THOM HARTMANN will be filling in for RANDI RHODES on AIR AMERICA RADIO today...she is out sick.
The reference to her cell phone is that she was on air with Hartmann and it was REALLY BAD..going out . In the end he had to hang up on her because they had no connection.

1. Wow - Thom is amazing. |
|
6am to 9am local Portland show, then 9am to Noon his national show, then noon to 3pm (or is it 4pm) to sub for Randi? He's lion-hearted.

7. I like Thom a lot. Glad he's now a "fellow Oregonian." |
|
Our wonderful state is blessed by his presence!

4. Why does Bush hate us for our freedoms??? |
|
I heard Thom's phone conversation with her. Her phone broke up once and then it recovered. Then it went out completely. I suppose there are several phones there. And if the phones of the press aren't going out, well then.... hmmmm.... another cheap trick to thwart democracy. Why does this administration hate us for our freedoms????

20. Cell phone towers galore. |
|
Think the SS and WH staffers don't need excellent coverage? They do and they have it. There are cell phone towers all over rural Texas, particularly in Crawford and surrounding areas.

to West Texas to see my mom, and I go through long stretches with "no service". So it is possible the service isn't that good in a remote area.

He will have had a 8 or 10 hour broadcast day by then. He has a local Portland show for either 1 or 3 hours (can't remember) before his own show.

25. If your battery is low your phone beeps a couple times, then just quits. |
|
A low battery would not cause poor reception; the phone wouldn't work at all. And there's also an icon on the phone that tells you when the battery is low -- so, no, that wouldn't be the problem.

15. Thom Hartmann is NOT going to seat in for Randi... |
|
He said, Randi is feeling little better and she will be doing her own show today. I wonder what Randi has... Tummuy Virus, mild flu, or maybe cold? I hope she feel better soon!

16. Bush revert to secret-service tactics to deal with Cindy - that's intense |
|
Use satelite technology to deal with dead soldiers mom!

She's out in the middle of BFE. While I agree that the Bush administration is dangerous beyond belief, I think what we've got going here is a bit of poor cell reception.
I hope, BTW, that the reason Randi is out today is because she's on an airplane to Crawford. I read in another thread that she is headed out there.

27. She's not on a plane to Crawford |
|
And she was back live yesterday. Thom said she was feeling better. Thanks to her being back and able to host (despite some equipment issues), Thom actually got to go to sleep.

28. Hell,we called my dad from the Grand Canyon... |
|
Not exactly an urban area is it?? Signal was just fine,no breaking up or anything else. I'd guarantee there's a cell tower somewhere close to the ranch.

30. You just made a damn good point |
|
Crawford is in BFE but the POTUS has planted his skanky hide there so of course there will be stellar service there. My bad.
