Jon Stewart had author Matt Taibbi on last night. It was hysterical. He goes undercover to report on John Hagee's mega-church as well as members of the 9/11 Truth Movement, "increasingly weird politics on both sides of the spectrum." This is very funny. http://www.thedailyshow.com/video/index.jhtml? videoId=168759&title=matt-taibbi NL ========================================= Blog "Screw Loose Change" writes: "In his new book, "The Great Derangement: A Terrifying True Story of War, Politics, and Religion at the Twilight of the American Empire," Taibbi embarks on a journey through contemporary America, a place that he believes is on the verge of a psychological collapse. Reporting for Rolling Stone, Taibbi goes undercover as a born-again Christian to investigate John Hagee's apocalyptic mega-church. He also documents his contentious experiences with members of the 9/11 Truth Movement, whose conspiracy theories he portrays as leftist parallels to the delusional beliefs of the religious right. Taibbi sees Americans on both sides of the political spectrum reverting to a new tribalism that makes communication and mutual understanding near impossible. In a book that is as darkly funny as it is depressing, Taibbi assails every aspect of modern-day America."
