This is hilarious......I know you can't watch the vid so let me to tell you briefly how it went down. The players: Markos and Tancredo. Markos is the founder of Daily Kos, the biggest liberal blog on the net. He was on a show with the former R congressman from Colo, Tancredo. The R started ranting that vets hate the VA and don't like to use that service. Markos, who unbeknownst to the congressman is a vet, told him he was FOS....not in those words. The R said apologize or I leave. Of course Markos refused to apologize so the R dramatically ripped off his audio hookup and stormed out of the studio. The thing about Markos who is probably in his 30s is that he looks about 18........like he's playing dress up in his suit and tie.....and he is always smiling when he zings you. Its a interesting combo to watch play out. ;-) Chickenhawk Tancredo storms off set after Markos confronts him on veterans health care by Jed Lewison Fri Nov 06, 2009 at 03:27:02 PM PST A few minutes ago on The Ed Show, Tom Tancredo tried to make the case against government health care by claiming that the Veterans Administration is unpopular with U.S. military veterans. The only problem for him was that he was up against Markos...who is one of those veterans, unlike Tancredo, a pro-Vietnam War chickenhawk who got a 1-Y deferment. When Markos pointed out that Tancredo was (a) wrong about the Veterans Administration and (b) not qualified to speak for veterans, Tancredo exploded in anger, demanding an apology. Markos did not oblige, and Tancredo stormed off the set. Watch: dailykos.com
