They didn’t pull it and HotAir was silly to do what they did.

They reopened the comments on it and it got 9 more comments from users for ‘cover’.
The first 20 comments were the ones that I was citing when I pointed people to that thread. The remaining 9 were added after HotAir blew up the link.
Well now they sound more like the Dems we know and love (to hate.)
