This picture is all over rightwing Facebook, and nobody seems to realize it’s Charles Manson… Or are they loving it because they do know who it is?

1. He's absolutely compatible with THEIR creation of Jesus, that's for sure

very apropos, apparently.

2. Another bogus conspiracy theory from Thom Hartmann.

Why, for the love of all that's good, does anyone listen to this guy?

3. I've tuned into his show a few times.

I was not impressed.

4. He broadcasts wall-to-wall conspiracy theories.

Many originate with his callers (and are preposterous in nature) but he always seems willing to play along.

This stuff doesn't help Democrats.

6. Remember Hartmann is a DUer

The Snopes "debunk" is based on how much the RW is circulating the image. I have no personal way to gauge that.

8. So? Doesn't give him a pass on spreading misinformation.

9. but Hartmann goes on to suggest

that MAGA approve the image because it is Manson. That's kinda' some 'made up' BS there.

13. People love it when they encounter a thing which aligns perfectly with their sentiments...

...and they do not often care to check it for veracity.

5. "all over right wing facebook"

appears to be issue in contention here

And, the idea that supporters would willingly (and knowingly) embrace an image of Manson - is completely - spurious. Smugly false suggestion. What - are we all going to revert to 3rd grade? Nah, nah, nah ..

10. I believe the point being made is repugs don't know it's

a Manson photo. Thom is underlining their ignorance. And then making a joke.

[stopdiggin]

11. OK. I don't think much of the joke, if that's what it is, but ...

To each his own.
Also think it's worth pointing out that there are no authoritative images for Jesus, so ... Every rendition being equally a composite or work of imaginative fiction to great degree. I'm not sure if a photo-shopped image should be immediately detected. If you zoom in 'real close' you can (barely) make out a cross on (deliberately?) fuzzed out figure, but other than that - bearded anglo guy - 'bout the same as a hundred others that have so cast. But, regardless, let's all have a good laugh anyway. Ha, ha, ha, ha ..

7. Did they?

12. Hasn't this been debunked recently in another thread?
