re: #105 researchok

Maddow is right in her excoriation of Beck et al, but to imply they are the cause of Arab world conspiracy theories is in itself a blatant misrepresentation.

The Arab world has embraced and has been addicted to conspiracy theories long before Beck, Bachmann and company.

She knows better.

She does know better. I listened to the the podcast version a few hours ago. It’s a bit of a straw man to say she was implying that Beck et. al were the cause of Arab conspiracy theories.

She was pointing out how the US conservative bullshit machine was spreading to other parts of the world.
