On the "smoking gun tape" of June 23rd 1972, Bob Haldeman said that AG Mitchell and Counsel to The President Dean suggested using the CIA to block The FBI's investigation, based on a meeting he'd had that morning with Dean.

Dean did not have a discussion with John Mitchell about using the CIA to block the FBI until the evening of June 24th, 1972.

Dean was unaware of the existence of the Oval Office taping system. He tried to conflate the meeting with Mitchell with the "smoking gun meeting" to cover up that this was his idea alone.

As Daniel K. Inouye said, "You are a primary instigator of . . . the Watergate Scandal".

As they say, "It takes a thief . . . ."

I must disagree, voter participation is not the real problem.. The real problem is the media shaping and flavoring what people call "news." The big money powers that own the media, chose to invest all that money to control elections.. Restoring Prez. Carters fairness doctrine would make it so fake news could be fines and sued ($$$$) when they LIE to the voters..

Why is it only white people who are accused of being racist? When Obama won all the southern states by a huge black vote were they accused of being racist and ignorant.

I thought the audience was going to be able to vote on their preference for the 3-6 pm Host? How do we vote? I cannot find any way of voicing my opinion other than right here?

Personally I want AAR to keep Sam Seder on the radio! Seder/Maron together are good too.

I am at a crossroads because I listen only to Thom & Seder on AAR.

AAR MANAGEMENT OBVIOUSLY HAVE SOMETHING AGAINST SAMMY. WHY ELSE WOULDN'T THEY STICK HIM IN THIS SLOT WHEN EVERYONE WANTS IT? SAMMY, YOU SHOULD GO TO NOVA M OR SOMEWHERE. AAR PROGRAMMING HAS GONE DOWN THE TUBES. MIKE MALLOY IS GONE. SAM SEDER BARELY DOES ANY SHOWS. CENK UYGUR WAS ALL RIGHT, ALTHOUGH A LITTLE TOO CONSERVATIVE FOR ME. I DIDN'T CARE MUCH FOR RANDI RHODES OR MARC MARON.

Rachel Maddow and Thom Hartmann are two of the most intelligent and well-informed talk show hosts in the USA. Not only are they knowledgeable about most issues on the political scene, they both cover a wide spectrum of topics. And, thank goodness they both have great senses of humor.
If you notice, they represent the progressive/liberal point of view. During this long campaign for the Democratic Presidential Nomination, neither has expressed a preference. THIS IS AS IT SHOULD BE. A host on such programming has an obligation to inform listeners, not attempt to sway them toward one candidate or another. Both Rachel and Thom talk about the problems and mistakes both candidates have had. But always, they present the progressive/liberal point of view. They tell their listeners why McCain would be another 4 years of Bush.
I think highly of your appearances on cable news networks and AAR, Ron, but I do not appreciate your partisanship. Should you have a choice? Certainly! I'm sure Rachel and Thom do as well. But the audience is not here to listen to your preference. We listen to learn how to fight the good fight against Republicans and Conservatives who wish to take away more of our rights, continue the war in Iraq and possibly spread it to Iran, appoint more conservative Supreme Court judges, and continue to ruin our economy.
Please consider this when you appear on AAR. Many of us need to listen to what's best for our nation. In the case of Clinton and Obama, both brilliant and capable, either has my vote. Let's get on to the larger issues.
