THIS THING/EVENT HERE<---------(I can connect these things with magic thoughts!)------>THAT OVER THERE.

Rambling on about causes of things without any logic or fact involved is much of what mass media provides these days in order to disconnect actual relationships. It might be fun to speculate, but taking it to extremes and making statements as if they were factual becomes a farce, a circus of abstraction.

That happens quite often. To reify what is not and make it seem real is prevalent. It is also a method with which what is not real or true is made to seem real and true. Ancient.

He once claimed that because the Obama Administration had 'Czars' it was evidence that Obama was a communist.

I don't have to explain to most DUers why the Czar claim is especially ridiculous. But it is a good example of Beck's nuttiness.
