Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) Unfiltered

Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT), the longest serving Independent in the Senate and formerly the longest serving Independent in the House, has partnered with Robert Greenwald from Brave New Films to introduce the weekly web series Senator Sanders Unfiltered. So in addition to the weekly, hour-long Brunch with Bernie segment on The Thom Hartmann Show (Fridays from 9-10 am PST), you can now submit your own question for the Senator via the web.

To show a more aggressive side of the Senator, listen to this exchange he had with Alan Greenspan back in 2003 and keep in mind that this is back when Mr Greenspan was considered by most in politics to be an infallible economic god:




If you're not familiar with the Senator, he is frequently on Bill Maher and other talk/news/panel shows, so if you liked what Bernie had to say, I highly recommend checking your local listings.

As far as I'm concerned, he and Dennis Kucinich should split from the Democratic party and start one that is truly progressive.
