Right on, Markos!

Can someone---anyone---please explain to me why lunatics like Tancredo are given air time?

Even Tom Delay seems to have disappeared, at least from cable. But not idiots like Tom T.

It's amazing how right wingnuts can dish it out -- but they never seem able to take it.

Classic bully behavior; he is perfectly happy (as are all the Republican chickenhawks) to dish it out, but he can't face it. Hell, he can't even stay there and try to get his own licks in; he simply retires from the field like the coward he is.

Kudos, Markos. You and Rep. Grayson are setting the right example.

Classic Chicken hawk. Right up to the "I wish I could have served but the doctors wouldn't let me" quote he's given in the past. Also it's worth mentioning that he got the medical deferment only after running out of school deferments.

And everybodies favorite Dick Cheney spawn is a deferment baby, as Dick got his final deferment because his wife was pregnant with Liz.

Tancredo: "Everything is fair game. . . Waaah! Waaah!"

"That's a cheap rotten stupid thing to say," ...

That's OK Tom, being a chickenhawk is a cheap, rotten, stupid thing to do.

I've been reading The Onion this evening, with the result that all of this Tea Party nonsense sounds like self-satire.

Nevertheless, this is very similar to what was done to Bill Clinton. Unfortunately it may succeed once again in its basic objective, which is to get a Republican president elected after either 4 or 8 years. They excel at long-term destruction of, essentially, anything and everything if they think it might somehow advance their goals. Needless to say, it's a dangerous way to do politics.

"He couldn't, however, answer when anchor David Shuster asked if Medicare and the Veterans Administration, both single payer programs, pose a similar threat."

Of course he can't, because he knows his position is intellectually bankrupt and inconsistent. But he's willing to say it as frequently as possible, praying each time that the audience is too stupid to ask the obvious questions that make his position logically indefensible.

Moulitsas should not have said what he did, though. It was counterproductive and comes off as insensitive to people with mental health issues.

Sending young men and women off to war when you evade the same is so far below chicken-shit that is simply repugnant. Hiding behind wealth and privilege is the mark of a true republican. Limbaugh, Hannity, Beck, Bachmann and the rest of the chick shit GOP gutless cowards need to get off the war cheerleaders bench and put up some of their own machismo.

As the esteemed senator Franken from Minnesota quoted, "What's that smell?"

Any clues here Rush? Feffen cowardly Chicken-hawks.
