This....
Basically, we've allowed Beck and others to turn a bloc of U.S. citizens into exact analogues of the most paranoid Islamist anti-Semites -- you know, the people who think literally every Jew on the planet is actively involved in a global Zionist conspiracy to destroy Islam. We mock those people, but Beck's viewers are exactly like those people.
...fits nicely with an earlier tnb post repeated here.
Tuesday Night Buzz: Beck on Egypt
This quote from Beck....
BECK: I understand that, but what you're not taking into account is that that is what the average person thinks, just like the average person on the street of -- of Cairo thinks they're swept up in some freedom movement. It is not about freedom. It is being orchestrated by the Marxists, communists and primarily also the Muslim Brotherhood.
Could also be written as
BECK: I understand that, but what you're not taking into account is that that is what the average person thinks, just like the average TEA-PARTY person on the street of -- of DC thinks they're swept up in some freedom movement. It is not about freedom. It is being orchestrated by the BIG BUSINESS, CONSERVATIVES and primarily also the FOX NEWS NETWORK.
