I disagree with your post.

First, CNBC thought they were going right to questions and answers and discovered that there were going to be a series of statements first. I donated a chunk of money to the Ron Paul campaign and I love the guy but in no way were they dissing the guy himself (they probably didn't even understand him), just noting the fact that they goofed and were not at the question and answer stage. As you say, Paul got 5 minutes later on... but you dismiss this as an accident because... it fits in with your thinking?

Second, I don't like Barney Frank but two demeaning references to his sexual orientation is not the way to go on an open board.
