Alex Jones "Prison Planet" pwn3d by the Zionist Hotlink Squad

re: #1 Conservative Moonbat

Here's the real Alex Jones, not pretending rationality for his Fox news appearance.

*sigh*

When will people stop giving this batshit insane whackjob a spotlight? It was bad enough when his crazy was confined to the airwaves here in Austin. Having his crazy mainstreamed across the country is that much worse.

Nice big INFOWARS super at the end. I wonder how much an ad for Infowars.com to Geraldo's audience costs when you have to pay for it?

re: #1 Conservative Moonbat

I thought his eyes would blaze red

Why is it that whenever one of these barking mad morons, such as Alex Jones, opens their traps, I immediately start thinking about the crazy cat lady from The Simpsons, flailing wildly and shouting gibberish?

Coincidence? I think not...

re: #11 SanFranciscoZionist

'Levitate the Mint'?

Anti-war protesters put a cap on their second day of rallies and marches during the Democratic National Convention Monday with a decidedly unconventional stop outside the Denver Mint. The event, which was organized by umbrella protest group Recreate 68, drew a small crowd of about 50 people armed with “magic mojo” they hoped would enable them to levitate the Mint building to shake out its loose change using nothing but the collective power of their minds.

Ah, but the crazy cat lady on The Simpsons was a woman who had been a doctor and a lawyer who burned out and went insane. Alex Jones doesn't have that excuse. He's just balls out crazy.

Crazy cat lady is based on Orly Taitz?

"Mindless" is being kind.

The thing about Rivera is that he purposefully has raving idiots on because "TV by train wreck" is his M.O...but I do wonder if someone forced Rivera to put Jones on.

And this is the biggest news channel in the US...

I feel like the Native American from that anti-littering commercial.

And is it not a good thing that this insanity is being exposed? Now, hopefully, some right leaning folk will see that Alex Jones is insane and stop listening to him.

If they're already listening to him then I doubt this will turn them away. No, I think appearing on Fox can only get him more listeners.

I said the same thing when Glenn Beck went to Fox, and he's hugely popular. Don't hold your breath at any exposure marginalizing Jones.

Nonsense. Geraldo says "this is making the 9/11 Truther movement look like even more a part of the lunatic fringe ... but is that fair?"

That's not "laughing" at him at all. It's implying that he might not be crazy.

Jones complained that people “demonize” 9/11 Truthers, which is one of the most hilarious things I’ve ever heard. They’re self-demonizing.

Well that's just Alex, being Alex...What’s happened to the editors over at Newsmax…someone musta been in the rest room when this went to print…?

Psychoanalyst and philosopher G. Heath King says conservative commentators Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck are unhealthy outlets for citizen anger.

Polarization is a vital part of our political tradition, the former Yale instructor told Newsmax.TV. “We were born from a revolution,” he pointed out. “We also have to learn that in a crisis situation there has to be a willingness to find a consensus. That’s what we have to learn right now.”

Limbaugh and Beck “lower the level of the dialogue when they utilize fear and anger to that extent,” King said. “What would be good is to bring that level up to the tradition of conservative thought.”

He cited economists Milton Friedman and Friedrich von Hayek and journalist William Buckley as examples. “Review their thinking and bring that level up higher, rather than going on an emotional merry-go-round as Beck and Rush Limbaugh do.”

Hehehe…Newsmax; nothing but the very best, no less…!

re: #25 Stonemason

And is it not a good thing that this insanity is being exposed? Now, hopefully, some right leaning folk will see that Alex Jones is insane and stop listening to him.

As much as I'd like to believe that Alex Jones finally being mainstreamed by Fox News could shake some sense into some people on the right, I seriously doubt it. The GOP, conservatives, and rabid crazy right-wingers are pretty much hip-deep at this point, especially in the ODS department...

The Wal-Mart Hippies

By DAVID BROOKS
Published: March 4, 2010
About 40 years ago, a social movement arose to destroy the establishment. The people we loosely call the New Left wanted to take on The Man, return power to the people, upend the elites and lead a revolution.

Today, another social movement has arisen. The people we loosely call the Tea Partiers also want to destroy the establishment. They also want to take on The Man, return power to the people, upend the elites and lead a revolution.

Snip.

I guess it could be that, I watched it again, they let him rail on too long for sure...might be 'cause I've never seen Geraldo's show. It just seemed to me that Jones was brought in to point out how stupid the troofer crap is.

What I did enjoy was when Jones realized that by describing the shooter as insane he was demonizing his own insane movement so he had to try to back peddle...
How can people believe this stuff?

Hey, at least a host on Fox is having a guest who isn't also another Fox host.

While at the gym the other day for a few hours, I watched in half-amusement as all of the Fox hosts did a strange, leapfrog-like lineup. Beck on O'Reilly. Geraldo on Beck. Huckabee on Geraldo. And of course, Dick Morris and Newt Gingrich on all of them.

How sad is your echo chamber when night after night, not only do you have all the same guests, but a good deal of your guests are people on your own payroll?

At least Alex Jones is a breath of fresh air. If a stark raving mad one.

DeLay: Tea Partiers 'a great opportunity' for GOP

“I think it’s a great opportunity for the Republicans – if they’ll take it," DeLay said. "They now have these people in their party. They ought to be reaching out to them and accommodating them and working with them.”

Wait and see how it will all deconstruct into anti-Semitism. A swamp that the GOP will sink in, never to rise again. Permanently marginalized with 15% of the vote, tops. The litmus test will be when the crazies on the "Left" join up
with this cuckoo crowd as the new vanguard of anti-Semitism.

I don't buy it. It reads like an attempt to turn the more strident Tea Party types into a leftist movement so that whenever anything bad happens (i.e., Bedell and Stack) there's a ready made excuse about how anyone involved couldn't possibly be conservative or influenced by the right in any way.

That's my take on it, anyhow. YMMV.

Completely agree. Remember, conservatism can never fail, it can only be failed. So when anyone or anything conservative fails, the answer is always "Oh, but he/she/it wasn't really conservative after all".
There is most certainly also the deflection going on there that you mention.
