Bill in San Diego sent a comment in which he used admitted being wrong. Unfortunately, he used hundreds of words when a handful would do. Below is the pertinent portion of his comment:

“But upon closer inspection, something’s not right: I see that Marmon does industrial stuff. I think I was misled, and that in fact the Pritzker family still owns Hyatt, so my brief research was wrong.”

Thanks, Bill.

Bill -- "Pass the beef, please." The source in my post, OneNewsNow.com attributed the ownership to Pritzker. If you can provide proof of your claims and where I can locate that proof, I'll issue a correction.

Hot – The Marmon Group owns the Hyatt Hotels. It was a Pritzker family group originally, true enough. In March 2008, Berkshire Hathaway Inc. acquired 60 percent of Marmon Holdings, Inc., with the remaining 40 percent to be acquired through staged acquisitions over a five to six year period.

Now how, exactly, was Penny Pritzker, who isn’t much of an owner, let alone a manager, of Hyatt, supposed to find out about and prevent renting a Hyatt to an interfaith group?

Get your facts straight.

Bill — Penny Pritzker owns the Grand Hyatt, regardless of what you want to believe. And, yes, she could have denied the group from holding their event in her hotel, regardless of what you choose to believe. Get your facts straight, will ya!

An interfaith organization booked the Hyatt for the Ahmadinejad event. It’s a public forum, and we still have some freedoms in that regard in this country, so it’s ludicrous to think that Penny Pritzker could easily have prevented the event. As to the related issues and events, you can get a pretty fair explanation here: http://www.jewishjournal.com/world/article/politicizing_iran_gop_spikes_obama_sanctions_bill_dems_scuttle_palins_rally/

Or you could continue to follow your policy of creating and believing as much misinformation as possible. You think not hearing it on the MSM makes it more true. Oh yes, preferentially believe the fools who aren’t accountable for accuracy, but who say what you want to hear, that’s very clever of you.
