If the show had used Boxer's name instead of Malkin's, would he also have assumed that the joke was written to imply that Boxer was a crazy conspiracy theorist, or did he make that assumption exactly because he knows how easy it is to assume that implication?

Weigel's retort to a commenter who explained the show:

Oleg: Have you never listened to the show? The "Malkin story" was during the segment where listeners are offered three outrageously ridiculous stories, only one of which is true, and the listener is asked to figure out which one it is. Malkin muslims-amongst-us story was a fake set-up, as was revealed about 60 seconds after it was told. What's next - outrage about a fake news story in "The Onion" - how dare they print news that they know to be false!

Dave Weigel: I did listen -- the true story was the one about Ted Nugent's son. But the joke was written to imply, as a fact, that Malkin was a crazy conspiracy theorist. It was weird and unfair.

I think that the Weigel still doesn't get it. But for the record, Malkin is a crazy conspiracy theorist:

MALKIN: It was the far left, the open-borders activists, who were the ones who are the extremists, who were the ones advocating militant ethnic separatism. This is our stolen land. Chicano power. You had folks with Aztlan T-shirts mugging for the cameras in front of city hall. These are people who believe that the American southwest belongs to Mexico, that we don't have a right to enforce our borders, and who do nothing more than try to sabotage our sovereignty...The idea, the intellectual underpinnings of reconquista are embraced by the vast majority of mainstream Hispanic politicians...

And later:

O'REILLY: So you agree with Buchanan, then. You think that this massive immigration to the United States, 15 million strong, is a part of a plan to bring back territory to Mexico?
MALKIN: Well, I take the Mexican government at its word when it says that is exactly its plan. If you look at the Mexican consulates that are active, political lobbyists who have entrenched themselves in the American mainstream and who have succeeded in blurring the lines between illegal and legal immigration, yes, there's a plan.

Congratulations to the State
