If the premise of the article was something like "All Republicans are stupid" and they used this one guy as an example to prove that, then I'd agree with your assessment that it's just baseless propoganda. Obviously that's not what the article is reporting, and is in fact doing the work to show the connections and the genesis for these idiotic theories.
Unfortunately it went right over the heads of some of our PC members.
