President Obama claims the Solyndra loan guarantee program predated his administration, though reports indicate the Bush administration had previously declined the loan. The hosts mock the president for playing his 86th round of golf over the weekend. They also dismiss comparisons between current protests and Woodstock, calling the latter a failed commercial venture.

A Rage Against the Machine concert held during the convention attracted anti-war veterans who presented folded flags to represent fallen soldiers. Bill Maher's program highlighted the absurdity of "free speech zones," which were depicted as empty fenced-in areas. The hosts contrast these genuine protests with the "crackpot" protesters often featured on mainstream news.
