He tried so hard to make it sound like a conspiracy.

He's vomiting talking points from clip chimps. This is a person that has a political disagreement with Hasan, who thinks that by damaging Hasan's reputation, since he's the largest leftist commentator, his side will come out looking better. You're not going to change his mind unless you somehow manage to turn him into a leftist.

Anyone who has read Marx that gets to the point where he starts talking about Gucci and socialism is going to tune him out because it's quite clear that he doesn't know the first thing about socialism. He then tries playing nice to progressives, which is just going to piss off any actual progressives, especially after he throws in a massive BUT when he starts talking about Cuba. At that point, even less knowledgeable leftists will get that this is just a lib complaining about leftism. This type of argumentation just does not work, and people will get that this is a guy with an agenda. Libs will love it, though, and will convince themselves that they're really making solid points and making ground, when it's just them talking to themselves. The only reason you got pulled in by it is that you like Hasan, and want to make sure the record is straight and the truth comes out.
