Dear Thom,
Puhleeze stop with the libertarians, conservatives, and other idiots that you roast on a near daily basis.
I realize that they are easy targets, but my desk has been damaged with a forehead-shaped dent from their repetitive nonsense.

Can you please spend more time talking about pigeons, progressives or some charities that you are involved with.

-signed sorehead with the forehead

1. Today's guy was an idiot.
Bumbled and stumbled - talking points, no understanding.

It was painful.

4. I stopped listening. The guys don't seem to understand Rand at times.
Oh, she was a fascist, but these guys they have come on don't seem to have read beyond just one of her door stops long enough to read the daily Republican talking points.

2. That's why
I usually don't tune in until around 2, except maybe to check to see if he has one of those fiends on or not. I don't need to hear it, totally failed b.s., time to look ahead.

3. I agree. The point has been made, ad nauseum. They are idiots.
I've started flipping to NPR whenever he has someone like Terry Jeffries, that rep from the Independent Women's Forum, or John Lott on. They never have anything new to say and nothing penetrates their thick skulls.

5. I agree. I used to enjoy how he argued with them, but now I've heard it all.
They are idiot ideologues that you can't reason with.

6. Stephen Moore works for the same RW outfit as Grover Norquist, iirc.

8. Without clicking and seeing I knew you were talking about Thom! He loves to have that
person on from the Ayn Rand Institute (think the name is right).

9. I can't listen to him anymore for that reason.

I like Thom a lot, but if I wanted to hear that conservative/libertarian crap I'd tune into RW radio.

But I do try to tune in for 'Brunch with Bernie'.
