Mark Steyn has to deal with lots of slings and arrows from the Left. Most recently he was accused of saying Muslims are "expanding like mosquitoes" in Europe. Turns out this passage is in his most recent book America Alone, but they are not the words of Steyn but of a prominent Scandinavian imam.

Now it's easy to say that this guy, Jim Henley, is an idiot with no reading comprehension skills unable to divine why one uses quotation marks, but that seems too simple. How many people who read Jim Henley also read Hot Air or The Corner? Probably not that many. So those that read Henley's piece will move on with lives thinking Steyn made this statement. That's how propaganda works. You plant an idea and rely on ignorance to make it spread throughout pop culture.
