1. ah, interesting

What was that about chemtrails?

[Reform]

2. I watched the whole simulcast

It was good conversation

9. I thought so too.

I didn't recognize the confrontation the OP alludes to. :shrug: Unles it was the part where Hartmann says h disagrees with maybe a third. I guess that's it but then it means he agrees with two thirds. I need to see it for myself sometime.

3. Well, that was interesting

Thom Hartmann and Alex Jones - interesting combination.

[get the red out]

4. Alex Jones is troubling

I used to read his site some, earlier during the Bush administration. He had some interesting takes on the war and why we were there and such (some loony stuff). But he seems to be a knee-jerk reaction kind of guy, hating Obama and pulling a bunch of conspiracy stuff out of the air. I now doubt he is anything but a snake oil salesman that has to hate whoever is in office. He may just be one of those guys that is too far right to even make it left enough to meet neo-cons half-way.

5. not to harp but

I just want to know if im misunderstanding your last sentence.
"He may just be one of those guys that is too far right to even make it left enough to meet neo-cons half-way."
Your insinuating Neoconservatives are not the farthest to the right?

[get the red out]

6. In a way

there is the "Constitution Party" who, from what I understand, would implement literal Biblical Law or some such. People like that are too far to the right to allow even neo-cons to make money (which I view as their primary purpose other than pure power).

7. Alex's stuff is occasionally interesting....

... but large pinches of salt are required for a lot of that conspiracy theory stuff.

But he does make people think, and we should always be grateful for that.

Heaven knows, it's the last thing the corporate media wants us to do.

8. Strange bedfellows (eom)
