After years of insisting he’s “Not the DFL’s Monkey”, rumor has it that former Strib columnist Nick Coleman attended “Drinking Liberally”, the weekly local liberal party that, like most local liberal events, isn’t local at all.
Connect the dots, people. Connect the dots.
Drinking Liberally — sponsored by Media Matters Action Network a subsidiary of Media Matters for America.

“But as a DL chapter leader, your voice — and your emails — carry a certain authority. In your role as facilitator and host, keep DL open for a range of perspectives. As an individual, you can voice any opinion you want, of course. But as a DL Leader — especially over the official email list — keep DL out of the endorsement business. It makes it more fun for everyone.
The tax cheats are at it again.
But….But….But…The tea parties are astroturfing….only politically left organizations are truly grass roots….George Soros tell’s me so
They can’t even go out drinking without getting it authorized.
I hope that Soros popped for the drinks, at least.
The tea party site is better organized. And what is it with all the (fill in the event) liberally? Can liberals just not stand to be around conservatives? I thought they were supposed to be tolerant.
The thought of a liberal drinking party in Minnesota scares me. Too many white folks, and you know what happens when they get liquored up.
They try to dance. While they are signing each other’s petititions
Can liberals just not stand to be around conservatives?
They can’t!
Well, let’s be specific; many of them can. We’ve had a few DFLers and libs turn up at MOB parties, and it’s been a lot of fun! But in my years of sending invites directly to quite a number of lefty bloggers, I’ve gotten quite a number of snarky, ugly kiss-offs, including a few that people published on their blogs. Really ugly, juvenile and – I love this – hateful stuff.
Better story: There was a local leftyblogger who used to throw a wonderful summer get-together at his place, where he invited people all across the aisle. Later on, I heard that the leftybloggers who attended asked him to stop inviting conservatives. They – many of them – really can’t tolerate any form of dissent.
Perhaps unremarkably, the ones that were the hinkiest about being seen in public with conservatives were the biggest assholes at the party.
Another anecdote; I was involved with an alternative media operation that involved a cross-section of people – a moderate, a conservative, and a couple of lefties. I heard that one of the lefties asked the producer “Why do you even talk with Berg? He’s a conservative!”
It’s like the old temperance quote: “lips that touch liquor shall never touch mine”.
I thought they were supposed to be tolerant.
I don’t think anyone but them have believed that in over a generation.
I thought they were supposed to be tolerant.
They elected an inexperienced, unqualified half-Kenyan guy to be President because because it eased their racial guilt over decades of discrimination against people of West African descent.
Not ‘tolerant’. Try ‘indiscriminate’.
I thought they were supposed to be tolerant.
That’s impossible when your attitufe and world view is defined by that which outrages you.
I wonder how alchohol interracts with all the other medications he is most surely on.
Can’t be good.
