Swine flu nut jobs

I had the misfortune to stumble upon this last night:

George Noory hosted a special edition of C2C with examination and analysis of the recent swine flu outbreak. Dr. Gary Ridenour suggested that this virus could further mutate and become even more dangerous. Appearing in the latter half of the show, Alex Jones and Stephen Quayle both agreed the new swine virus was not natural. It's a "genetically altered bioweapon," possibly being "beta-tested in the field" to target specific races, Quayle contended.

To call transpired last night any sort of 'examination and analysis' is laughable. Obviously. Turns out that Messrs Jones (no relation to Jim, save for psychosis) and Quayle (no relation to Dan, save for IQ) are well-known occupants of the lunatic far-right fringe, with radio shows and websites and T-shirts and guns and end-of-days raving hallucinations....Problem is that nut jobs like them are all over the place, and shows like Noory's are spreading the worst sort of epidemic - that of American ignorance and paranoia.

Expect much more of this going forward, alas.....

Fun
