Not a surprise that Thom Hartman endorsed Bernie.

He's always been a great backer of him.

NOW ... my question is this, does Thom get callers from Hillary supporters on the air throwing fits?

My reason is that Stephanie Miller has been pro-Hillary THIS time. She went to a fundraiser today and left the her co-hosts and guest in charge of the show for the last hour.

Let's make this clear. Stephanie has NEVER said anything anti-Bernie and has had him on her show. YET, she gets calls that attack her. Her guest hosts and crew made comment that "Stephanie is off the see the next President, Hillary Clinton" ... her Producer joked .... Oh, she going to see Bernie. YET some woman called in and was "insulted" that they kept saying "next prez Hillary Clinton" ... blah blah blah and had a bug up her butt. Thin skinned much? Jesus ... welcome to MY world in 2008!! I love Stephanie Miller and listen every day from day 1. She and Randi Rhodes were 100% for Obama in 2008, but I still listened and enjoyed their shows and didn't throw a tantrum and felt "insulted".

Get over it.

She even makes light of how in 2008 she got calls from Hillary supporters pissed off at her. Not me, honey. I sucked it up and went on.

Should she suck it up? Yes, but you don't have to exaggerate her behavior. She, Chris and Jodie had a civil conversation about her viewpoint.

supporters, calling us and/or Hillary Clinton everything ugly and nasty under the sun!

The only time I see a Hillary Clinton supporter get upset (not nasty) is when they're either in defense of himself/herself while being attacked, or when something nasty and unfair is written about Hillary Clinton.

Now Stephanie Miller, a strong Liberal Democrat, is being vilified for not #feelingtheBern. This is insane.

Sorry-not-sorry that we choose optimism over cynicism.

when I heard Hal Sparks defending Obama's use of drones and domestic surveillance.

Keep sucking up to the establishment candidate, Stephanie, and maybe you'll get a real gig.
