I suspect his frustration at being Cladara’s and Wadham’s errand boy went something like this:
Given how frequently Caldara himself has tossed around the “communist” or “socialist” label in reference to Obama, it’s not surprising he’d try to downplay the fact that his rally featured some of the same smear tactics rather than factual debate.
Here are a few examples:

Oh, and using the Nazi or Hitler allusion is a pretty regular habit of the right-wing media ilk in Colorado, as well; no wonder they don’t want to draw attention to their embarrassing behavior:

It wasn’t a ploy. A ploy is a setup spun in a manner that is not truthful to the facts. This was simply & fairly reporting something that occured.
Now you could complain about the emphasis it received. But based on the interest people have shown in the story, I’d say that emphasis was fair.
So really all you can complain about is that they did not fall for your ploy and spin the story as you wanted.
He makes a good living spewing radicals ideas, though.
Caldara actually pointed out other radicals who attended his rally as proof of the media’s bias? Is this joker serious?
Caldara: ‘Uh, if you think swastika guy was bad, we had another guy there claiming Obama is going to haul Americans off to Gulags with his new secret black army!’
Penry and Mitchell actually encouraged that type of behavior by palling around with radicals like Caldara and his sick friends.
That’s apparently OK with Caldara, who was Peter Boyles’ guest when Boyles repeatedly called the Denver congresswoman “V*gina Dejet” or “V*gina DeGette” on his Wednesday morning broadcast.

Not a peep from Caldara during the program suggesting that might such remarks might be inappropriate. But given his own track record of misogynist on-air remarks, not surprising.
