re: #126 researchok

How is it a straw man? Where in the piece did she even imply otherwise?

Now that I’m re-reading what I wrote, I could have probably said it better.

I was interpreting what you wrote was that Maddow was saying there were no US-Muslim Brotherhood conspiracy theories until Beck and Friends’ nonsense spread to Egypt.

Maddow is correct that Beck and companies’ ravings are fueling some of the Muslim Brotherhood conspiracy theories in Egypt. At no time did she say they were single-handed creation of Beck and the other idiots.
