  2. In breaking news…According to the Guardian’s Egypt blog, Beck’s latest attempt to “join the dots PEOPLE!” is hilarious. He has warned that what is happening in Egypt is a scary alliance between socialists and Islamists and has shown footage of an “Egyptian Islamist” (almost certianly an Egyptian socialist) “speaking at a meeting of the British Socialist Workers’ Party”.
    Someone should send Beck an email with a link to Tad’s article on the Muslim Brotherhood.
