Wingnuts

Trancredo Storms Off

On MSNBC yesterday, Tom Tancredo ran away from Markos the same way he ran away from the draft.

As excellent as that was, the larger question remains: Why the hell is Tom Tancredo invited on television? Now generally, other guests and hosts are too polite and he's allowed to spread his race-baiting xenophobic nonsense freely and without any checks. However, this time it was actually useful to have him on because the host and the guest were fearless about exposing his ridiculous wingnut hackery. So you could call this phenomenon the Tancredo Conundrum. Is it good to have him on because it exposes the insanity? Or should he be ignored? Hmm.
