Actual Thing That Happened At Yearly Kos

by AltHippo @ 2:50 pm. Filed under hacks

Okay, so I’m not actually at Yearly Kos, but I’m getting this from an extremely reliable hairpiece, I mean source.

What I hear is that some lefty blogger was in some kind of a snit at a workshop and got all unhinged on the trainer.

Here’s the actual dialogue (edited to convey my viewpoint more clearly):

Lefty Blogger: Listen people! I know everything about healthcare. You could learn something from me when I say that chronic freeloaders shouldn’t have to pay for health insurance.
Trainer: I see. You want to socialize medicine.
Lefty Blogger: F— yeah!
Trainer: But, doesn’t that put us on the slippery slope to Socialism?
Lefty Blogger: I embrace Socialism. I embrace all Socialists. Eugene Debs, Chairman Mao, Jane Fonda, Joseph Stalin, Michael Moore, OJ Simpson– I embrace them all. Man, it’s like time we came out of the closet. The Democratic party has a secret agenda to overthrow the business community. People of America, arise! You have nothing to lose but your day jobs!

And then somebody put on a Grateful Dead album and they all got stoned.

Yep, that’s exactly how it happened.

    Yeah, might have to do the YearlyKos thing next year.

    Some decent coverage on C-Span.

    Maybe they’ll hold it in this neck of the woods next year.

    Good post. Will you guys be keeping an eye on www.bloggingman.org next year? It’s the conservative version of Yearly KOS. Should be interesting.
