Oh sure, re-post a barely re-worded 5 year old spin job in order to sell your e-trader software to people who fall for this kind of stuff.

Explaining the spin, as I'm sure many people here will tell you, almost ALL government policy de-facto redistributes wealth... ban a product, no one can buy it. Lower speed limits make faster cars less appealing and some manufacturers lose out, etc.

This article and the "interview" it shamelessly re-hashed try to make banal centrist policies - their effectiveness notwithstanding - look like some kind of socialist conspiracy.

I'm not taking a position on those policies, heck, I won't say there isn't a conspiracy but it's got to be an impressive one and it's going to take a lot more than spin doctors taking quotes from some e-mail out of context and twisting the words then appending "gate" to convince me.

Sometimes I wonder if they make these things on purpose - astute readers will notice the out-of-context hatchet job on the quotes, and people who have less time to read the article, will get angry at the "alarmist conspiracy". And then the two sides attack each other, the educated people think that the real conspiracy is to make it look like a conspiracy so oil can keep making money, but are kept busy arguing with the people complaining about "alarmists" to dig into the real conspiracy that the fake conspiracy is covering up.
It's brilliant.
