Glenn Beck conspiracy theory: What's his evidence?
Glenn Beck conspiracy theory: A Saudi national was involved in the Boston Marathon attack, Glenn Beck alleges. US officials reject the notion and dismiss the 'evidence' as so much bureaucratic paperwork.
By Peter Grier | Christian Science Monitor 3 hrs ago...
Glenn Beck has spent lots of time in recent days alleging that the Boston Marathon bombing was carried out by a conspiracy that revolved around a shadowy Saudi national questioned by police in a Boston hospital in the immediate aftermath of the tragedy.
OK, is he just winging it here, or does the ex-Fox, now-independent radio and Internet video host have any real evidence for this charge?
He says he does, unsurprisingly. On his show Wednesday morning Mr. Beck produced a document that he claimed is an official US event report showing that the Saudi in question is a bad, bad man who was on a no-fly list and already subject to visa revocation.
What he didnt mention is that Fox News reporter Bret Baier has already looked into this whole alleged Saudi conspiracy, including the document Beck deemed so revealing, and concluded that there was no there there, to paraphrase writer Gertrude Steins jibe about Oakland.

How insane do you have to be when even Fox News recognizes you are insane? (Hence the reason you are no longer employed there.)

Think the conspiracy theories are bad now? Just imagine how bad they would have been had the perpeptrator(s) been anti-government Tea Party/McVeigh types.

(20,277 posts)There's not a 'brown' person that they can blame here. Next best thing is to tar and feather all Muslims for this.
I don't know how they can live with carrying around that much bigotry and ignorance.
