2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Thom Hartmann Just Called Bullshit on Hillary Supporters Claims of Bernie's DNC support [View all]RandySF
(66,638 posts)164. Hartmann sounds like a snake oil salesman.
Hartmann began his business career in the early 1970s while in his 20s, co-founding The Woodley Herber Company. Woodley Herber sold herbal products, potpourris and teas, and operated until 1978.[19] It was during this time that Hartmann obtained three degrees in herbology and homeopathic medicine.
