re: #56 Killgore Trout

Not quite yet. Glenn Beck is a wtered down version of Alex Jones. Alex can’t make the leap quite yet because the 9-11 truth thing still has a lot of stigma. The truthers are attending the Tea Parties and they report that they’re often greeted warmly and people are becoming receptive to their ideas. I think Glenn Beck and the right wing blogs are really helping this because they’re promoting very similar conspiracies of their own. I’m noticing an increasing opposition to the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq on the right these days. Once the empire building isolationist rhetoric takes hold on the right then I think Alex and his 9-11 Truth stuff won’t seem so bad to conservatives. It’ll take a little while longer.

So, the Right isn’t altogether deranged and evil, just mostly, and with time, it will be in full.
