Glenn Beck broadened his ever-expanding
theory about Egypt again on Monday, and in doing so, introduced some ideas that are extremely hard to accept:
* The co-founder of an anti-extremism think tank
funded by the British government -- who has
testified before Congress -- may be lying about renouncing radical Islam.
* You
shouldn't do Google searches, because Google is "pretty deeply in bed with the government," as evidenced by the fact that a former State Department employee who's now a Google executive helped found a nonprofit group that
supports grassroots activists around the world.
* MTV is "involved with this," because it sponsors that nonprofit group, the Alliance for Youth Movements, or Movements.org. Beck also listed "CBS, MSNBC, Facebook, YouTube, National Geographic, Columbia University Law School."
* Perhaps most unbelievable: The State Department under the Bush administration was "in bed" with the "radical Islamists, communists, and socialists" who are working together against Israel and capitalism, and to overthrow stability. Why? Because the State Department under Bush helped start the Alliance for Youth Movements.
It's increasingly difficult to understand what Beck is alleging here. Is he saying that everybody he mentions supports the coalition of radical Islamists and communists that he thinks is trying to create global chaos, as seen in Egypt?
MTV and the Bush State Department?
Seriously?
