I have been encouraged reading the feedback from the yearlyKos convention - but something on the Drudge this morning caught my eye and left me feeling dismayed.
A group of kossacks, donning
tin foil hats... yes,
tin foil hats. Thanks for making the rest of us look like nutbags guys. Rant continues on the flip...
If I didn't think there was so much potential in this community I would call it quits now. There is no quicker way to make yourself look like a delusional whackjob than by sporting a tin foil hat. I don't care if it was a fun competition or a serious display of paranoia -- if we want to be taken seriously we don't need a group of our own showing up in the media wearing tin foil on our heads.
So a big sarcastic thank you to all those kossacks who were sporting those tin foil lids. In the future please excercise better judgement. When at an event such as yearlyKos you are representing an entire community, not just yourself. If you want to hold a tinFoil hat convention be my guest, just please don't associate it with dailyKOS.
