Xenophobe Tom Tancredo walks off when called on his draft-dodging past

On MSNBC last night, former Republican Congressman Tom Tancredo walked out during a discussion about health care with Markos Moulitsas and David Shuster (who was filling in for host Ed Schultz).

As Tancredo railed against health care reform, Shuster raised the question of whether the Veterans Administration -- a single-payer system -- is also a "threat to our freedom."

Tancredo's responded that there are problems in the Veterans Association's system and said that his liberal counterpart in the debate should talk to more veterans. Moulitsas, a veteran himself, swung back. The Daily Kos founder brought up the fact that Tancredo -- a Republican student activist during Vietnam -- got out of serving in the war.

"I did not get a deferment because I was too depressed to fight in a war that I supported in Vietnam," Moulitsas said.

When Tancredo didn't get his apology, he left the set.
