I must be out of the loop here. Was that an insult because Tancredo got a deferment out of Vietnam or something?

If Tancredo now goes out and shoots a bunch of unarmed libs, will the establishment media show some amount of sympathy towards Tancredo because he may have been taunted in the recent past for his ideology?

This a$$wipe Kos uses his veteran status in a way that falsely infers he uses, or is eligible to use the VA Health System. He certainly does not, and outside of visiting with a medic during his 4 years in the Army, he likely has no other personal exposure to VA hospitals. His veteran status is thereby disingenuous in the argument. It's not unusual for him to vomit useless talking points, false inuendos and vile accusations to further his delusional causes.

I cannot wait until one of these punks steps over the line and does a true physical act.

NB is more tech savy than I but today I received an email from Acadiana Tea Party. They are forwarding emails from many national tea party groups. The fringe media coverage of recent events has angered many. They are calling for a week long boycott. Starting Nov. 9  until Nov. 14, they are calling for a boycott of all programing on CBS,NBC,ABC,CNN,MSNBC. Time to send a message. NB will have lots of visitors next week.

he served in the U.S. Army from 1989 through 1992. He completed training at Ft. Sill in Oklahoma and fulfilled his three-year enlistment as a Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) in the fighting 69th. Fire Direction Specialist. while stationed in Bamberg, Germany.[1]
By his own account, he "missed deploying to the Gulf War by a hair."
Moulitsas has described the Army as "perhaps the ideal society – we
worked hard but the Army took care of us in return."[5]

??  What's that limp-wristed fruit cup from Kos talking about?  'Government works'?? 

So Social Security isn't bankrupt?  So the Post Office is raising stamp prices and cutting services because they're so successful?  So Medicare is solvent and everyone on it is happy with it?  Medicare/Medicaid is in the black and not losing money? 

The Obama admin. isn't spending trillions of dollars and accomplishing nothing?  The government, having taken over GM, has turned it around and GM is now profitable and stable and is NOT losing money hand over fist?  The government, which runs our farms at the point of a bayonet, is running them efficiently and our nations' farms and farmers are happy and prosperous?  People are happy to go to the DMV, are they?

People enjoy filing their taxes because the government has made it such a pleasant, efficient process that serves everyone and fills us all with joy?  The reports of food stamp agents drumming up customers they don't need so they can keep their budget is all just a hoax, is it?

The government takeover of the mortgage industry has made everyone a home owner, has it?  Our government wisely uses every penny they take in taxes, and none of it is wasted, squandered or grafted, eh? 

Our government operates in a balanced budget, do they?  They take only what they need in taxes and return anything that's overtaxed, huh?

Mr. Markos, I would say you're a glittering jewel of colossal ignorance.  But I don't think you're ignorant at all - you're just lying through your teeth.  You know government doesn't work.  You know it's corrupted and ruined everything it's ever tried to 'run'. You know it's a tool of oppression, and you simply hope to ingratiate yourself to it so you'll be in a position of power.  

Guess it's no coincidence you have a name like 'markos', eh comrade?

I think the Congressman did the correct thing.  There is no arguing with an insult, and disrespect should not be tolerated.

That said, what government program works?

"With this mind, was Moulitsas out of line, or should Tancredo have
stood up for himself and addressed his detractor rather than walking
off the set? "

He should have never gone on. If you mingle with trash, it's bound to get dirty. And curious george markos is about as trashy a piece of scum as there is.

...since he never had to make a similar choice. He served three years and got out before the first Gulf war, never having seen combat.

He doesn't strike me as the kind of man who would serve his country with valor during a war. He seems more like the kind of pos who would hold the same kind of views as Hasan the America hating butcher. jmo 

Like Jim Everett did to Jim Rome.

You trying to say Jesus Christ can't hit a curveball?

You, know the more I thought about this the more obvious it became to me that this whole thing was staged by Shuster and Moulistsas (who is the de facto news chief of MSNBC, since most of their on air programming originates with DailyKos postings).

Notice how Shuster is the one who brings up the VA during a dicussion about Obamacare and how the first comments out of little Markos mouth were the insult to Tancredo. That wasn't a coincidence.

Shuster and Markos set this whole thing up and Tancrado never saw it coming until it was too late. I gaurentee you that Shuster and Markos planned this out in advance and asked specifically for the producers to get Tancredo as the guest.

Tancredo should have refused to debate further commenting that a clear winner has emerged in this discussion when one side resorts to personal insults. 

Kos is owned by Nazi collaborator George Soros. 

'Nuff said. 

Many Libtards serve in the military. It gives them credence in all things military and a higher moral ground to stand on when they oppose wars against their Muslim terrorist and Communist friends.

A good example was retired Marine Corps general Smedley Butler.  He was a highly decorated combat veteran in the early part of the Twentieth Century and wrote War is a Racket.  He made some good points, not all of which I can disagree with.  He made many speeches for various Socialist and Progressive groups back in the day and sounded very much like a Communist.

The Leftists maintain that those who have experienced the horrors of war, the corruption of our "military-industrial complex", and have shown themselves to indeed be Patriots who (though they find it distasteful) suck it up and join the military are in a good position to argue for peace and Socialism (the implication being that under Socialism there would be no more violence).

As with Benedict Arnold, however, a few years honorable service does not negate the damage they do to America later on nor should they be Teflon-coated because of it.  

Interestingly, the miltary service of Bush senior in the Pacific was downplayed by the MSM and of course the National Guard service of his son was at first ignored and later maligned viciously.  But, Hillary merely "thinking" of enlisting at one time is something that we (incredibly) know of!  Slick Willy can be excused because he was simply too smart, and besides, Vietnam was a bad war anyway...but Bush, Jr. should have gone...?

You'll never win these military service arguments with these kooks and they know it.

One of the 34% who thinks George W. Bush was a great President. One of the 86% who wants to bring back the stock and pillory.

  I will take his word of Mark "Screw them" Moulitsas.

  The whole deferment thing appears to stem from the one Denver Post article. A very hostile article from the Denver Post. Is the Denver Post a bastion of good journalism?

Tancredo said he didn't remember it that way. But he said he was given a 1-Y status, which put him at the bottom of the list, when he reported that he had been treated for mental illness as a teenager.

Tancredo said he was diagnosed with depression when he was 16 or 17 and received medication for five years for panic attacks and bouts of anxiety and depression....

In a radio interview, Tancredo was quoted saying "I did not serve. I could not serve, but I certainly wish that I had that opportunity." - source

Let's be objective. You are supposed to tell the truth when you go in for those physicals. He told them he was treated as a teenager. He was given 1-Y status as a result.

1-Y Qualified for military service only in time of national emergency (classification eliminated 10-Dec-1971)

He was given 1-Y due to his treatment in the past. Not for treatment he was currently receiving at the time of the physical. 

Mark Malt-head: I did not get a deferment because I was too depressed to fight in a war that I supported in Vietnam.

I did not. In other words, you did. You did get a deferment because you were too depressed to fight. It is a lie. That is not the reason the deferment was given. He was not receiving treatment at the time of the exam.

Now let's address the Denver Post. This site called Newsbusters has an entire section devoted to the bias of the Denver Post - http://newsbusters.org/media-topics/major-newspapers/denver-post

Tom Tancredo was insulted by a little turd that rejoiced in the deaths of contractors in Iraq --- 

That said, I feel nothing over the death of merceneries. They aren't in Iraq because of orders, or because they are there trying to help the people make Iraq a better place. They are there to wage war for profit. Screw them.

Sincerely,

a Veteran of a 1000 psychic wars.
