THE MONEY QUOTE:

So, while the fake story has been scrubbed, the claim of conspiracy is still floating around like a noxious cloud befouling the air.

And that's all The Left needs to do: get it in front of The Sheep. This is all they will remember.

The American Left: “Protest against Obama, and you’re part of an eeeeeeeeevil conspiracy”.

They’d be funny if they weren’t so retarded.

Playboy Magazine?

You sure it wasn't a "PANTY" party?

Fake but accurate. Where have I heard that before?

The link only deals with parts of the article, not the whole thing. For instance, where does the Sam Adams Alliance get their money from:

http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/07/19/the-sam-adams-project/

Everyone should note that the Koch family funds groups like Cato and Reason, and both those support open borders. If you oppose illegal/massive immigration, the Koch family is not your friend.

Anybody with functioning neurons could see Santelli was being spontaneous in his rant.

Really? To me, it looked like he’d rehearsed it, esp. with the responses of the other men around him.

And it doesn’t affect the validity of his message, either way.

Playboy should not sell FAKE STORIES WITH BOOBS.

They ought to go with REAL STORIES WITH BOOBS.

Clear accurate reporting , why not!

Boobs, on the other hand, just need good lighting.

Planned or spontaneous means ZIPPO to me. I met a whole bunch of conservative neighbors because of it.

Naaah. Unrehearsed. Don’t forget he’s been on CNBC for probably a decade and has to both gush over what’s happening in the bond market, long end, short end, try to explain “convexity”, plus discuss the various things infuencing the mkt that day, and he’s inevitably quite glib doing so. Not “er, uhhhh, uhhhh” at all, very chatty. Plus he’s generally got to talk over plenty of clamor going on around him, and that day, there were VERY few traders and thus the clamor was light, ergo, he could be heard. Twas a good rant!
