OK, I know Thom Hartmann likes to debate the right-wingers..but can't he find one with half a brain?

[marmar]

This Dan Gainer (sp??) is on now, talking about "hate-filled" liberals, and he mentioned Keith Olbermann's horrible "Worst Person" segments and Paris (I think he meant Perez) Hilton. And then he tried to defend his choices, sounding like a complete babbling idiot.

I'm all for reasoned debate with conservatives, but the ones who come on Thom's show are such f**king idiots.

:dunce:

1. Thom thinks that's how to make himself look good by comparison

It's a Cheap Trick. Remember THEM?

[marmar]

3. I doubt that.....Thom would look good by comparison even against their brightest.

n/t

9. That's bullshit and Welcome to DU

Thom has more integrity than a cheap trick a right winger would try to pull.

He allows them on the show and is very gracious to them -- unless they act like assholes -- and let's them talk and reveal themselves for who they are.

It doesn't take much to poke holes in their ideas/logic.

11. that's why Flush Limpballs doesn't have "lefties" with brain cells numbering in the double digits

or more get on the air on his show ...

[JSK]

2. "Right-winger" and "brain" in the same person?

Impossible.

[dbonds]

4. Are you saying that they exist with that much brain power?

I thought RW and low brain power went hand in hand.

[OhioChick]

5. Half a brain?

Probably hard to come by.

[get the red out]

6. I won't turn Thom on until 1:30

Due to lunch at noon and the Neanderthal time slot at 1PM, I don't bother turning Thom on until 1:30.

7. David Sirota got a real piece of work this morning...

This wingnut started ranting on the Jay Marvin Show on AM760 in Denver (Jay Marvin is in the hospital, so David Sirota's filling in for him). Rather than the usual argument, David simply played the song Dueling Banjos. :rofl:

[omega minimo]

10. I'm glad Mr. Sirota is exploring new ways to express himself

:rofl:

[omega minimo]

8. No.

He tries. He gives them a venue. He gives em enough rope. They hang themselves.

[Ganja Ninja]

12. Left wing talk radio is getting hard to listen to because ...

of the right wing assholes they constantly have on.

[mitchum]

13. Not gonna happen unless he can do a Dr Frankenstein thing on Wm F Buckley

[RaleighNCDUer]

14. That is asking a lot, you know. nt
