Of course Wall Street's most powerful company wouldn't stoop to rigging an online poll, right? In fact, one of their spinners said the bank had “just received this information and is investigating fully”. Yeah, I think they're going to join O.J. Simpson in looking for the perpetrators!

Around 3:41 pm yesterday, the technical team watching the vote counter on a grass root campaign's website noticed that the “no” votes increased dramatically.

A few days ago robinhoodtax.com, asked the public to vote on a "tiny" tax on bankers that would donate no more than .05% of each banking transaction to the poor.

Brady: It looked like it was in a bunch of different blogs. I mean, it certainly was getting a lot of attention on Atrios and Daily Kos, and some other places. So I mean there did seem to be...you know, it wasn't a campaign in the sense of a really organized campaign, but it was kind of a grass roots campaign to...

Hewitt: Well, you've just named the two central islands in the fever swamps. So I'm not surprised.

He'll turn on Brady in a heartbeat. It was quite apparent that he used Brady just to bash the left so "I'm not surprised." Sam Seder did a nice job and Brady answered some questions about the story itself.
