Naomi Wolfe, tinfoil hatter and good pal of Alex Jones, launches ISIS beheading video trooferism

Another one to remember the next time folks post her "Obama-personally-ordered the-destruction-of-OWS" nuttery on DU:

Author Naomi Wolf called the reporting on ISIS into serious question today, questioning where the records are of the hostages actually being captured and the fact that journalistic organizations are calling them “evil.”

First, she posted this Facebook post questioning those two points:


She says it’s wrong for news organizations to call ISIS “evil,” and suggests some kind of conspiracy might be in the works:

“It takes five people to stage an event like this — two to be ‘parents’ — two to pose for cameras..one in a ninja outfit….and one to contact the media that does not bother checking who ANY Of these other four people are.”

6. Oh..wow! I've said it before, we're seeing a lot of Alex Jones type theories here these days.

Although, not from unexpected sources. Is this what she has to do to remain relevant these days?

Nothing like jumping on the hot news story for freebie promotion

10. I actually had an exchange with a poster who blamed the government for the videos.

Mind you, these videos have all been posted to social media by IS, but our government is at fault. In essence, she was saying the videos were the problem, not the beheadings. How do you argue with that kind of logic?

I'd say depleted uranium is evil and its use as a weapon even more evil.

13. OK, and beheading? widespread rape? evil or not? (note: I am not a huge fan of the word evil
