Yes, clearly, he was coming at this from the Left end of the spectrum. People like him try to discourage all conspiracy thinking (which they think is solely a Right-wing phenomenon), but they will indulge in it when it's convenient. Rachel Maddow loves to attack "conspiracy theories" (those that come from the Right) but does a lot of speculatin' herself about Bridgegate, the FBI and the Boston Bombing suspects, and other subjects.
