Apparently he is quite knowledgeable. He's written a dozen or so books.

It is amazing how many people are willing to write off a lifetime of work and dedication because of one slip-up. "One slip up?!?" Of course the Hartmann bashers will arrive and dredge up his unfortunate association with RT.

I'm surprised and disappointed that Thom Hartman doesn't know much about the American Liberty League [View all] brush Sep 2022 OP

Regular TH listeners know otherwise. ariadne0614 Sep 2022 #1

I was surprised at what he said in the video. brush Sep 2022 #2

Do you not believe ariadne0614's post? William Seger Sep 2022 #7

Why would he forget the correct details on this video? brush Sep 2022 #33

All he said was "Smedley Butler and his merry band" William Seger Sep 2022 #40

He said what he said. Maybe he discussed it before on his show... brush Sep 2022 #41

Jeez, it was just an extemporaneous conversation, not even a podcast script William Seger Sep 2022 #42

It's ok. I was just going by his words. I don't listen to him any more. brush Sep 2022 #44

You are correct. He's mentioned SB foiling the plot many many times. Liberal In Texas Sep 2022 #27

Thom Hartmann is the most informed person in media today. rubbersole Sep 2022 #3

Same here. Still, didn't listen, but maybe he had a lapse. Hortensis Sep 2022 #10

All he did was mention "Smedley Butler and his merry band" William Seger Sep 2022 #11

Yes, and maybe his statement was misunderstood. That often happens. Hortensis Sep 2022 #13

It seems to be which audience he's addressing. betsuni Sep 2022 #12

That last IS absurd. He must know what populism is. Hortensis Sep 2022 #19

So you agree that his association with RT was "unfortunate?" yardwork Sep 2022 #22

Hartmann was broadcast by RT, a registered Russian military intel branch, for years. FreepFryer Sep 2022 #15

Your words are meaningless to this regular listener. ariadne0614 Sep 2022 #17

opinions arent facts. its meaningless that Russian intelligence broadcast him? hard disagree. FreepFryer Sep 2022 #18

You're right. Opinions aren't facts. ariadne0614 Sep 2022 #24

Unreal. By your logic only Qanon followers can decide if Qanon is real. Enjoy the program. (nt) FreepFryer Sep 2022 #25

Your persistence inspired me to edit my response. n/t ariadne0614 Sep 2022 #29

That's good, as the original version was lacking. Glad it prompted some self-reflection. (nt) FreepFryer Sep 2022 #31

I hope mine does the same for you. n/t ariadne0614 Sep 2022 #35

nope, your point is still 100% wrong but at least its self-negating now. thx! :) FreepFryer Sep 2022 #36

if having the last word helps you feel better, you just go right ahead. n/t ariadne0614 Sep 2022 #38

lol! K. (nt) FreepFryer Sep 2022 #39

If you don't like him why do you listen to him? Emile Sep 2022 #20

This doesn't surprise me at all. /nt yardwork Sep 2022 #21

What doesn't surprise you? That you would latch on to this demonstrably false nonsense take? Hassin Bin Sober Sep 2022 #47

That is often called the business man's revolt... Demsrule86 Sep 2022 #26

I stopped respecting him Elessar Zappa Sep 2022 #34
