Does Trump Know What It Means to Sacrifice? Thom Debates Trump Supporter.....

1. Whut?

He couldn't get the cork out of his bottle of Trump wine once?

[uhnope]

2. Hartmann should make a sacrifice and bail out of RT

like Liz Wahl and so many other conscientious media people have done

[rjsquirrel]

3. Absolutely right

I'm not a big Hartmann fan, as I think his Sirius show is sponsored by unscrupulous hucksters and he lends his personal endorsement to rip offs (I also think he is a lot less smart than he thinks he is), but both are true of virtually all of the dying medium of talk radio.

But accepting money from Putin discredits him and anyone else (Ed Schultz, I'm looking at you) utterly.

Putin's lackey or your own man (or at least the lackey of gold hucksters and bogus nutritional supplements)?

4. Sure he does

it means hiring a lot of people to make him a lot of money. I just hope they got paid!

5. Was Neil McCabe camoflauging an obvious buzz cut?

You'd think he'd be proud, but his hair looked weird: only of import because he was the major military defender. As to R.T. (and I know it originally was Russia Today), it's always an interesting watch and thought-provoking with hosts such as Hartmann. Its' never been as one-sided or vitriolic as Fox "News." That anyone who's ever had education in propaganda techniques would freak over RT is just knee jerk ignorance. But right-wingers do seem afraid of it, while liberals had what had largely been Roger Ailes's Fox pegged from day one. Alarmist name calling, loaded propaganda, insults to our president, etc,: RT or Fox?

[uhnope]

6. yea yeah yea

You're wrong--RWers love RT because many RWers are starting to adore Putin & his propaganda. No, RT is avoided by anyone with functioning critical thinking skills. Here's something for you to read:

7. Anyone with critical thinking skills...

is well able to pick out propaganda bullshit from worthwhile, thought-provoking information, whether from RT or Fox. BTW, did you READ the reactions following the 2013 article? Makes my point even better than I could. An oddly far right wing article that certainly doesn't sound as if it would make any sense to anyone who was really a Socialist. What an obvious piece of crap.

[uhnope]

8. "worthwhile, thought-provoking information, whether from RT or Fox"

Yeah I thought you'd get around to praising FOX also.

You do realize the Russian gov that runs your precious RT is so RW as to be fascist, don't you? You are defending the RW every time you bend over backwards to pretend that RT is just another news source.

And you actually call that article I linked to "far right wing"? Entertain us and give one excerpt from it that could be construed as "far right wing". We're waiting.

Not only do you use these words in such a way as to make your message totally meaningless, but I think you do so on purpose. It's clear your intent is to deceive and mislead and fabulate. Hmm just like the RT you always go to bat for, what a coincidence

[maddiemom]

9. Uh, I was using Fox as a completely opposite example from RT ( with more of a right wing slant

at Faux), How about YOU give me examples of "strident tone of late Stalinist propaganda" or "uncritical support of Russian imperialism." Obviously you must monitor RT very closely. I just watch on and off and follow Hartmann, one of the sanest voices around and hardly "far left." You are overdoing your sarcastic, suspiciously troll-like defense with such terms as my "precious RT" " and my "intent to deceive, mislead and 'fabulate'. If my message is "totally meaningless" you certainly feel that you understood it perfectly (to YOUR mind). So what's your problem beyond an overly excited tone...or just having lots of fun trolling? To conclude, since I don't plan to continue this useless exercise, I TAUGHT "critical thinking" for many years.
