(I even opened the doors for a handicapped woman who was having trouble pushing through as all the young conservative men stood and watched her struggle)

helping someone who needed a bit of assistance? Geeze Dave, you’re lucky you got in at all. Might as well have worn an Obama shirt! ;)

I don’t know what is going on. I don’t spend all day reading 100% of one blog. But I get the distinct impression that there is sort of a feud going between this site and Daily Kos. (Or is it Jane vs. Markos?)

I suspected this would happen eventually, but hoped it wouldn’t. “The Left” seems to be fracturing online. Is it big now? No. But it seems it can only get worse.

Is it because of the Hillary thing? I hope not. I am a feminist. I am 55 years old. I am not stupid. I am positively appalled at too many of Hillary supporters’ actions after she lost. (I haven’t seen it on the other side, but I hear it is there.)

Keep it up, folks, and the GOP will be back — in spades — in 4 years. I have seen it before. In fact, my whole life. Whether you like Hillary, or Obama — or both, we MUST stop this cycle.

I was polite and well-behaved (I even opened the doors for a handicapped woman who was having trouble pushing through as all the young conservative men stood and watched her struggle) but, well, they clearly did not want interlopers.

I think the being courteous thing gave you away, Dave. Rethugs wouldn’t have helped that poor woman, they’d have just stood around (as your description mentioned) and probably laughed openly, if not in secret.

Hey Dave…
Glad you made it back alive in time for your panel; it was worth hearing. Scary as can be, but needs to be said…

Hey gang. I think I’m going to get the credit card out and send some love to Darcy Burner. She was sitting quietly by herself in a quiet corner for the entire session on Guantanamo, Habeas and Torture. That is true courage and deserves some green at Blue America.

At the end of the party last night, the rumor was circulating that Dave was gonna show up at the wankerfest in a malKKKin cheerleader costume. Disappointed the costume didn’t happen, but love the snarky effrontery of it anyhoo. I must say, Firepups are teh Most Wonderful People in Teh World.

Quite amusing, but I would have liked to have read more. Next time go undercover in chinos and a golf shirt.

You’re so right, Betsy — my apologies. My Cro-Magnon roots are showing.

Funny you should mention that, Jim … I did indeed shower upon return to my room.
