re: #105 researchok

Maddow is right in her excoriation of Beck et al, but to imply they are the cause of Egyptian 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.

I don’t think her point was that Beck, Gaffney, etc., are the SOLE cause of this kind of anti-American sentiment.

She’s pointing out that their conspiracy theories and extreme rhetoric are having an influence.

Which, I think, is undeniable.
