So as long as something is legal, it can't be immoral to some people. They have such tiny closed little minds. Geeze Thom has more patience than I would have in these discussions.

...With the help of our many unethical lawyers, that are pervasive in congress. Public Corporations... by "Law" are mandated via fiduciary responsibility to generate the most profitable outcome for their shareholders. If it takes moving operations to slave wage locations... so be it. If they can save on taxes and operating expenses... so be it. It is immoral and it's exactly why Bernie Sanders has been invited to speak at the Pope's house. It's not unlike faith-based initiatives whereas the main concern is personal gain, be it Creflo Dollar fancy jet or GE's CEO's summer home on an exotic island in a gated community. Did you hear the humanity there... well it's not illegal. :-/ Sounds like HRC for sure. Shame, shame.

Imagine someone posting links to, for example, nice recipes from Stormfront (and yes that exists, I just checked (www.google.com/search?q=stormfront+recipes+cooking&gws_rd=cr&ei=fgAKV7y_Ooi-aIXEh8gO#cns=0&gws_rd=cr) with the Stormfront logo or whatever on the videos and defending it because it's just a positive message about healthy eating. That's the same as pushing any supposedly progressive message with the RT channel & logo--it's highly offensive to fighters for LGBT rights and basic human rights, to fighters against anti-Semiticism.

Thom Hartmann has a radio program and it's possible to link to that, instead of to RT, for the same excerpts. I urge all Hartmann fans to start doing that.

"You can never win an argument with a f*&king Republican"

Because they always come up with some of the most unbelievable Bull Shit imaginable to try and hide the truth.

This fucking Immelt should be publicly castigated until he is ashamed to show his face, the ugly face of outsourcing.

This asshole favors cutting Social Security so the nation can send GE another tax refund every year. This fuck should be tarred and feathered.

We have to end this abuse of the American people.
