I listened to his podcast for a while a few years back and never could get over just how loving broheim the dude is. He really enjoys putting his woman co-host on the spot with really awkward questions about dick-size preferences and tits etc. It got uncomfortable after a while.

I watch TYT for just about everyone except Cenk.

What's the consensus on Thom Hartmann? I agree with him on a lot of issues, but he's made some pretty audacious claims, like how the Reagan campaign bribed Iran not to release the hostages until after the election.

Immediately following that advert is him mentioning how TYT is making fun of him, something about a juice box makes you gay. Which was taken out of context: I wonder what the correct context for that would be?

This is going to only get better when the internet generation and their JK LOL Ironic racism get into power. "Senator Mendez-Smith, believes that former president Obama was part of some secret oil cabal to rip off gas prices based off this 2013 blog post status update: 4.50 for gas? THANKS OBAMA!"

It will certainly be fun to watch while sipping my Juicy Juice.

I know the House investigation said there was insufficient proof, but didn't KGB files turn up later that showed HW Bush did meet with the Iranians in Madrid? Was that just KGB misinformation or someone making poo poo up?

I never heard a good explanation why the hostages were released on Reagan's inauguration.

Thom Hartmann is alright from what I've seen. He's a bit of a blowhard, but his method of breaking stuff down is solid since he goes through things in a logical fashion.

The note about Iran and Reagan, I've heard it before; however, it's not like it would be the silver bullet to pin Reagan as Super rear end in a top hat of the Century seeing how there's plenty of other atrocious poo poo that he's directly responsible for.

He's kinda the first guy I've thought about where 'oaf' really fits well actually. He's not BAD, he's just clumsy and kinda dumb and tends to knock things over and just go 'eh, that'll happen', in the verbal sense.

What's the gesture the anchor does to the camera at 5:15? Right before that he does the usual gesture I associate with "crazy!" which is the index turning around the ear a couple of times, but the second one? It's obvious in context but where does it come from?

If he meant that whoever wins, Syria loses, then he's not far off. The US is going to come out OK no matter what happens.

Are there any government documents that Jones doesn't have access to? His answer to everything is "I have the government documents!" and then failing to provide such documents.

Don't you tell me my business again.

Speaking of that, I've spread those "D" and "R" switches around several times amongst a few conservatives I know and they always laugh me off as being conspiratorial minded and claim it was just an honest mistake by FOX.

Is there either a right wing equivalent of things related to CNN/MSNBC or whatever, and, more to the point I suppose, are there an equal number of FOX graphics getting it wrong the other way? Like labeling Bernie Sanders or Hillary Clinton a Republican, for instance?

I hardly think it's accidental since it never seems to happen aside from when a Republican politician is loving up, and those photoshop jobs are just beyond the pale. On what planet could that be an accident? I'm curious if the mistake has ever happened whenever a Democrat voted against the ACA or something like that.
