Back in 2008, I saw a talking heads program on which Markos and Harold Ford from TN discussed Obama and Clinton.

Ford was extremely conciliatory. He had supported Clinton, but her star seemed to be sinking, so Ford wanted to work with Markos and take some of Hillary's views, meld them with Obama's views, and create a strong Democrat who could compete against the Republican candidate (likely to be McCain).

Markos wasn't having any of that. He was scornful and insulting. Hillary was a joke. Hillary's people had nothing to offer. Obama was 100% right on everything and would crush all opposition be it Democrat or Republican. Markos had no time for anyone who hadn't drunk deeply of the Obama kool-aid.

I thought it was really shocking. Ford kept trying to find some scrap of common ground, but there was none to be found on that day.

So Markos is a nutcase and an egomaniac who doesn’t listen to good advice from more moderate members of his own party.

Good. Let him continue to run the Democrat party into the ground.

Obama will get undre 200 EVs if he DOES take Markos’ calls.

These types of liberals, the younger bunch, are very unyielding and it’s a case of all or nothing with them. This guy’s immaturity is going eat him up and if and when he gets a few years of seasoning on him he might smarten up but he’s a prime example of what’s wrong with the hard left today.... they are nothing but spoiled rotten children who need to grow up.
