Looking at it another way, what is it that Rick was all afire to add to the thread, anyway? He did a fine job of chopping Ryan's claims into little bits already.
Seems like a very deep scraping of the thread. Why the effort to remove all traces? Silly.
Silly? I don't think so. There has to be something more than just silliness involved if all content of the thread was wiped not just from ST, but from Google (and from Bing and Yahoo as well -- I checked those sites, too). WTF?
I doubt Y5.9 is a plant. He's been here forever. Based on the depth of the scraping, it's gotta be something else. But why? The cows left the Ryan barn long ago.

EDIT: I was thinking of another Y5.9. The current incarnation has been here about one year.

Ghost, all the (major at least) search engines allow site owners to control what is indexed and cached.
Well that is seriously f*#ked.
Paul Ryan is a lying piece of sh#t and we proved it!
It was even picked up and quoted by the National News
Edit - perhaps this 5.9 guy asked for a favor.
RJ was just nice enough and, not knowing this 5.9 doucher was a republican hack, deleted the entire thread at 5.9s request.
