MSNBC just aids their cause by its own reporting of that nonsense.
I'm sort of on the fence about what MSNBC does because it's really the only mainstream media outlet willing to call these people what they are -- liars. At the same time, I sometimes do feel that they give too much publicity to these crazies -- but then, Rush Limbaugh et al are not fringe characters with small audiences. At this point, someone does need to be out there saying that they are liars or else they go completely unchallenged. And yes, I would love to see some loud liberals. Where are the "left wing extremists" I'm always being warned about?
