Vast Right Wing Conspiracy Machine

In an effort to be more fair and medicated to center - you remember that "rant of the year" from nobody-Rick Santelli? The same guy who "spontaniously" created the idea for the "Chicago Tea Party?" Perhaps the rant was no accident, but, shockingly, part of a coordinated Vast Rightwing conspiracy machine to stop Obama's change train.

Here's a recap of some stuff I've found in DailyKos [a beacon of absolute truth and is in NO way partisan to one group of idiots over the other group of morons] and also the Exile...

ChicagoTeaParty.com was just one part of a larger network of Republican sleeper-cell-blogs set up over the course of the past few months, all of them tied to a shady rightwing advocacy group coincidentally named the "Sam Adams Alliance," whose backers have until now been kept hidden from public. Cached google records that we discovered show that the Sam Adams Alliance took pains to scrub its deep links to the Koch family money as well as the fake-grassroots "tea party" protests going on today.

For example ( the whole article):

On the same day as Santelli's rant, February 19, another site called Officialchicagoteaparty.com went live. This site was registered to Eric Odom, who turned out to be a veteran Republican new media operative specializing in imitation-grassroots PR campaigns.

It appears that this is the brain child of the shadowy Sam Adams project:

The Sam Adams Alliance, a nonprofit conservative organization, has started an ambitious project this year to encourage right-leaning activists and bloggers to get online and focus on local and state issues.

And the coordination is now expanding to business interests that are opposed to Obama's programs:

Industries from health care to agribusiness to mining that stand to lose under President Barack Obama's policy agenda are ramping up lobbying campaigns to derail or modify his plans.

The day after Mr. Obama formally laid out his policy goals in his first address to Congress, the former chief executive of HCA Inc. unveiled a $20 million campaign to pressure Democrats to enact health-care legislation based on free-market principles.

And don't bother to ask who is behind the Sam Adams Alliance, because all that is scrubbed:

But it’s the Alliance’s scrubbing of their link to Koch that is most telling. A cached page, erased on February 16, just three days before Santelli’s rant, shows that the Alliance also wanted to cover up its ties to the Koch family.

For the record - I only posted "Rant of the Year" for you folks to look at. Second, I have posted the "Vast Right Wing Conspiracy" claim here to return the balance beam back to equally hating both groups of hypocrites.

Finally, I'm not a huge believer of conspiracies, Left or Right. However, if this phony grass roots Republican movement were truly this powerful and influential - why didn't work during campaign? I'm sure Mr. McCain would have gladly accepted and prospered with some kind of knowledge to run a campaign... because, like Bob Dole, it didn't appear that he had anyone of any competence running the show.

And don't tell me the "pst... Obama's a secret Muslim who eats babies and is going to take your guns" was a Right wing whisper campaign, because that was ALL Hillary in Iowa from Feb 2007.
